Not as big as last year's star studded event. This year's competition was moved from it's original date of Feb 12-15 to February 13-17. The waves are not to blame.


Surfboard to people ratio: 4 is to 3


Traffic report: moderate to heavy.


Guarding the well from Sadako.


I have to recruit Okoy Rojo to identify the surfers from my miniature photos. This one is Allen De Vera.


And this is Allan Derecho. Balerboys can identify their fellow surfers as far as one kilometer from the beach. They have their own identification procedure: the skin, the shorts, the moves, the stance.


Towa, the official cameraman of the competition, and the official driver of the mayor.


The irreplaceable emcee of the cup: Macmac Ritual modeling the batangbaler tshirt.


Badoc and  Johenry Tena waiting for the game to begin.


GMA boy Rommel Espinosa doing an occular. Hunting for the next Starstruck applicants.


And he's spotted one: Lot, the Bahia singer.


Olin's wahine niece.
