Santos)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The man\u2019amko proved that they are still spry with their annual Christmas concert held at the Pedro P. Tenorio Multi-Purpose Center last Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The hourlong event treated the audience to diverse performances ranging from singing with the Voices of Angels to a theatrical skit. There was also a raffle for the concert-goers. <\/p>\n<p>An audience member, Sophia Quintos, said, \u201cI like the skit the man\u2019amko did at the end of the concert, it was really funny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tickets were sold at $5 each.<\/p>\n<p>Walter Manglona, director of the Office on Aging, said, \u201cProceeds for the event will benefit the Office on Aging, but the man\u2019amko would much prefer to have people give presents rather than the money. So for those who, for some reason, can\u2019t afford the ticket and we have some extra space left, we\u2019ll squeeze you in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep. BJ Attao (Ind-Saipan) said, \u201cIt\u2019s always entertaining to come out and watch the [man\u2019amko] every year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Attao was present throughout the entire concert, despite watching the man\u2019amko\u2019s performance at the Legislature the day before, making this his third year in a row.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe actually get to catch a glimpse of them up at the Legislature every year so we\u2019re treated with a sneak peek of their performance but it\u2019s nothing like the actual concert,\u201d Attao said.<\/p>\n<p>Manglona said, \u201cI actually wanted to step back a bit just to have the man\u2019amko have something all to themselves. That\u2019s why everything is a single performance and all efforts in this concert is thanks to them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The man\u2019amko proved that they are still spry with their annual Christmas concert held at&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":243158,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[67,14865,5333],"class_list":["post-243157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-people","tag-sophia-quintos","tag-walter-manglona"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
