Kamayan 2007 Featured in Northeastern News


I recently came across a wonderful article online about Kamayan 2007 that was written back in November, a few days after the show. It features qoutes from our favorite friends from NU Barkada. Here's an excerpt from that article:

"After months of preparation, Kamayan was very rewarding, said Mia Roque, a sophomore business major and another dance coordinator for NU Barkada. "I was in tears before we went on, because we've spent so much time together preparing this," she said. "A lot of people came out who didn't know about us. You can tell that the community at Northeastern is very strong."

Students at the event said they enjoyed the combination of entertainment."I thought that was really cool," said Rachel White, a junior sociology major. "I liked all the dancing, but I also thought that the [D1TV] videos fit very well."

Kamayan 2007.. oh, the memories. DTV Kamayan 2007 was definitly an amazing experience for all involved. if you're still interested in buying one of those awesome DTV shirts, I'm hearing that they're still available.. just see a D1 E-board member!
