ADOBO NATION is the one-stop pop-culture program with a Filipino-American twist.
A Dance Crew from the Philippines took top honors in their division at the 7th Annual World Hip Hop Dance Championship, held August 3, 2008 in Las Vegas.
Over 1,500 dancers from 22 countries competed in the electrifying event which brought the audience to its feet numerous times as dance crews presented dazzling routines blending old and new school moves.
The Philippine All Stars dance crew received the highest score of the night (8.94) and took home the gold medal in the Adult Division (ages 18+). The Pinoy dancers strutted their stuff in front of a crowd of approximately 2,000 rocking, dancing and jumping with unmatched intensity.
The Philippine All-Stars’ routine was based on Ken Jhons’ thrilling choreography. During one particular dance sequence, Jhons plucked a dancer from the ground and raised him above his head on a single on a single arm, holding him aloft like a hunter with a prize kill, before discarding him back onto the stage. The move drew astonished gasps and a standing ovation from the audience.
The bronze, silver and gold medals were presented by rap artist MC Hammer, who described the event as a “positive outlet for its youthful participants.”
The 5′Giants are an unincorporated team of Filipino-American filmmakers who write and perform films that are as diverse and colorful as their own cultural identities. They make there movies with passion, not money (which means all of their talent is unpaid). This concept is foreign to most people, so think of them like a community baseball team that plays the game week after week because they love the game – not because they want to make money. They are just like that. The team moniker was based after the fact that the average height of a Filipino person is 5’ something. They like the idea of someone who does feats greater than they were built to do, so they adopted it as there team name.
