Philippine Trumpo

Post by Darwin »

This is Cardong Trumpo, a remarkable Filipino trumpo performer who has captivated audiences with his talent on *Pilipinas Got Talent*. Watch his incredible semi-final performance, where his dedication and artistry earned him a spot in the grand finals. As a fellow Filipino, I am filled with pride witnessing his success. His journey is a testament to passion, perseverance, and the rich tradition of trumpo in our culture. Enjoy the performance!😊

Is Cardong the same person as Ricardo Cadavero? Or perhaps father and son? They do the same tricks and they look very much alike with a couple of decades difference.



Cadavero was contacted by Ludo and they tried to bring him to the Marines festival in 2017, but there were problems with the passport (he didn't have one).
He actually sent a video to the 2020 online contest in the Traditional division (unfortunately, he has made the video private). I would like to contact him again and see if he sends a video to the Artistic division next year.

Hi Jim!

I’m not sure how to contact him, since I am based in Japan. But I will try.
