Maskoman

“Maskoman, kayo lang ang pag-asa…

Iligtas kami sa marahas na kadiliman,

Kami’y inyong ipaglaban…”

There are secrets hidden inside this van that I can distinctly remember. It bore witness to a couple of sweet times together with the e-Games event Team. Took us to places near and far, in its not-too-spacious-inner-entirety but comfortable seats and over-all feel.

We were on our way to Pangasinan for the Globe-24 Ever Gamefest leg in Dagupan. Inside were Bea, Mike, Sed, Deejay,  Stephie and me, still full of energy and weird ideas. Talking about work and in-game event ideas to fill the event calendar. Sharing the latest scoops and funny experiences with gamers. Ranting about things we dont like. Texting. Listening to the songs stored in our cps and mp3s. Mike was on the corner listening to the Tagalog Maskoman theme song, with the loudspeaker of his phone on. I was listening to it too, and then an idea hit me, and it struck gold. Why not sing the song loudly and gleefuly for childhood favorites’ sake?

On the initial set-up, the voices came out naturally, but when the recorders were turned on, consciousness crept back, and we suddenly forgot about the lyrics, laughed at ourselves and messed it all up. Haha!

And Bea was cursing like hell on one of the other recordings I dare not upload! Haha!

Here’s an uploaded Maskoman opening theme video on youtube (the better version haha):

Ngunit sila ang nagapi ng mga kampon ng kadiliman…
