Chamorro talk show to spotlight Bantalan
Juan C. Reyes will be talking about the history of the Sugar Dock Bantalan this Saturday, April 16, 2022, starting at 10am, during the Chamorro Cultural Talk Show segment of the Marianas Agupa’ Talk Show on Magic 100.3FM.
Reyes’ topic, called “I Istorian Bantalan,” is made possible by the Inetnun Kutturan Natibun Marianas/Kkoor Aramasal Marianas, a non-profit organization in the CNMI. Association president Isidoro T. Cabrera said this community project aims to celebrate and recognize cultural experts and encourage public interactions in humanities-related topics, including culture, tradition, history, language, traditional healing practices, local names of places in the CNMI, music, among others.
The talk show will be every other Saturday starting at 10am. Cultural experts will be presenting in Chamorro followed by a Q&A call-in, chat, from the public and via social media.
The public is also encouraged to participate in a survey after each talk show to help the association improve the show and identify future shows and cultural experts. If more than 20 people respond, four prizes will be awarded from a randomly selected group of respondents within two weeks after each show. Details about the survey will be provided during the talk show and posted on the Marianas Agupa’ Talk Show Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Marianas-Agupa-Show-278884342457682 or https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5heKROsqcSVHg5ztadbDHA.
