The Night of Mirrors on Cebu Island.
On that first trip to Cebu Island: DJ Carma Latro, could not find the vestige or sign of having inhabited the island by some kind of sloth bear. Statues or legends that speak of such an animal were not found.
He also could not find references to apple fruit trees; With the exception of being grown on private farms; Therefore, the cultivation of the Alpins tree on the reefs should be extended to land, for which specimens adaptable to the external environment would be needed and not those that remain in the depths of the reefs.
What he did achieve after that fleeting visit is the commitment to play a game of Sepak Takraw for purposes that we will describe hereinafter ...
Third dynamic or third game of the Creator.
The Ceremony for the reunion of 'intercultural friendship' between three continents took place on Cebu Island. These continents are: America, Europe and Asia. Kei Sky must introduce the candidate for husband. And in Chief Sky's family. The novelty is great and a Sepak Takraw party has been called that ends in the bride and groom dance with Harana or serenade; Therefore, Chief Sky has determined rules that teams must comply with:
1.-Three participating teams will be formed:
Each participating team must have a member of the Sky family.
The first team is made up of the bride's brother plus two friends: one from the bride and the other from the groom who are natives of Cebu Island, for this purpose the couple must live together for a quarter and win those friends; especially the groom. And of course: convince that friend to participate in the game.
The second team is made up of the bride who is Kei Sky and a couple of friends of the bride, in this case Bierny and Nalexa.
The third team is formed by the boyfriend who is DJ Carma Latro. Plus two friends of the groom, his brother, Xuli Latro, and his partner, Alondra, are happy to accompany him.
2.- The teams must make a Sepak Takraw ball.
Therefore, they must learn the technique of weaving rattan, which is a plant with a flexible stem native to the island and that climbs towards tall trees, in search of light; 'It is understood that the use of this plant symbolizes the search for the marital union whose purpose is to have light in everything they do as a family'; Finding the climbing plant requires a journey to the mountains with a meticulous process of: (a) selection, (b) cutting, (c) weaving, (d) drying, and (e) proof of use. Which comes to be non-competitive previous encounters but of cultural adaptation, the players' outfits are very beachy with a mixture of mountain outfits. More than the Sepak Takraw ball test, it is to see how the costumes of the teams to participate are. To these previous events the teams bring needles, threads, flowers and branches to adapt or correct the costumes. Well, it would be a fault to the event that the suits suffer damage or falls in the middle of the competition, since it would disqualify the contestant "like a yellow card" for a time until he re-enters; If the offense persists, he would be forced to abandon the game 'like the application of a red card. Thus the team is left with two members and would have less chance of winning. They say that it is necessary to create imbalances in the dresses, because this is part of the ceremonial rite, the disqualified losers are taken as the defeated spirits of shame, impudence, lack of ethics, disrespect, imbalance or madness among others designations.
3. The teams at the same time must formulate three wishes in 'marital bonding', that is, they must form marital decorations with two traditional plants of the island.
(a) The first family team must make a flower arch with Sampaguita and Cebu Blue, preferably white flowers in the center and the ends or sides of colors representative of Cebu Island. This arch is placed at the entrance of the teams to the playing field. And the same bow will do for the night of serenade or Harana.
(b) the second team of the bride, will make flower necklaces for all those summoned to the ceremony of engagement or engagement. They should especially have these Sampaguita flower necklaces and ties with Cebu Blue, among other elements that they believe necessary to enhance the ceremony. The main thing is the making of the dress made of plants and flowers and feathers of native birds of the Island.
(c) the third team of the groom, manufactures the crowns of the groom and that of the bride (which is the symbol of the ceremony, something like the delivery of rings in other contexts, which of course given the cross-cultural encounter of the groom and his guests there must be)
The competitive guidelines of the Intercultural Ceremony.
In these events there are three factors that will determine the winner and the losing teams.
(1) The first factor is that the family team acts as judges or witnesses.
(a) As judges they must exercise such competence that allows them to win, that defines that the relationship of going through other dynamics or games to align your participation.
(b) If the judges beat the bride's team and come second, the bride before the bridal shower ceremony; she must pass another dynamic or personal alignment game.
(c) If the judges beat the groom's team and the groom's second place before the bachelor party ceremony; must pass another dynamic or personal alignment game.
(d) If the judges win both the groom and the bride, they must fulfill the role of witnesses for which another dynamic or game is designated with both: groom and bride. This dynamic is like a spiritual retreat, where the future married couple, together with other married couples, share talks, therapies, for a time not less or more than 7 days (they cannot fail to fulfill the steps of 7 dates, if one or both of them miss one of the dates, the marriage proposal will be canceled and therefore it is difficult for this couple to get married, since the conclusion is incompatibility; the couples who in the course of these games report aspects that change their mind and choose not to attend one of the dates in order to terminate the union)
