Meet JL of Lumad Basakanon


Posted on May 2, 2006

He’s cute. He’s adorable. And he’s very talented. At a young age of seven, Jercom Lemon Beck has already wowed a lot of people of his dancing prowess. JL, as Cebuanos fondly call him, has been joining the group Lumad Basakanon of Cebu’s Sinulog Festival since 2004.

When I first learned that the Lumad Basakanon will be representing the Sinulog Festival, the first thing that came into my mind was to look for JL, and have a chat with him. And it indeed happened last April 29, 2006. When the Lumad Basakanon arrived at the Quirino Grandstand, I wasted no time in looking for JL. Some dancers were even surprsed that I know this wonder boy, and that I was also speaking their dialect! (Cebuano)

JL, just like any typical kid is playful and very adoring except that he has an extraordinary interest for dancing. A bit hesitant to talk to strangers, like me. But when i asked him to pose for a picture, he just gave me a smile.

So when their group performed at the last judging area (CCP Complex), the crowd cheered for him. He looks very serious in delivering his dance rituals for the Santo Niño.

    I watched the Aliwan Fiesta and I was impressed by ALL the groups!
