Komusta kayo. Sapay koma ta nasiyaat latta iti biag dita ayan yo a disso iti lubong. Many of us who have gone abroad or have moved to other places in the Philippines are probably homesick and eager to know what is happening in our town and to our friends and relatives in Tagudin and elsewhere so for this in mind, I've created this message board for I thought that this would be a great medium in bringing us together and in getting us reacquainted and closer to our hometown of Tagudin. Please make yourself at home here in this message board. Our fellow Tagudinians would be delighted to hear from you through your postings. Take good care.

Nomen, I dont play(gamble) mahjong anymore. Rositas lang okey. The Derby players in Mahjong are your cousin Vita, Mg. Bonie, Diony, Quintin and Mg Mel. So when are you moving back to Southern California? God willing, we'll see you in Las Vegas. Last time we saw you was when we're stationed together in Subic Bay. We miss you guys.

I am afraid that we've lost several days worth of postings which are mostly the recent ones. We also lost some of the old ones. At least I was able to restore most of them and they are in the archives. This is unfortunate because there were important post and replies that need to be seen. I am trying to find ways to ensure that this will never happen again in the future. Auntie Nomen please repost the news about Lolo Antolin, Manong Tom please repost your link with the photo of your family and Lorna, I remember you had some post about some officers in SAS. Paul I will repost the International Tagudinian Poster and also to the photos of Manong Aloysius. -- mod, 01/18/05 8:32pm [4]

My dear posters and readers of this board, something unexpected happened today to the message board. When I logged into the site today January 18, I found out that many of the messages disappeared and some went into the archives. The messages are now out of sequence. I'll try my best to restore the messages and hopefully I'd be able to restore all of them. The mb probably was affected when the mb services I've signed up for did some routine maintenance. I am afraid that you might have to repost some messages that you've posted if I might not be able to restore those messages. Thank you for standing by. -- mod, 01/18/05 8:12pm [1]

Bureau Chief or Main Contact
-- Deacon Tom Buenavista of Farola SAS Class 1957-58, 01/11/05 8:52am [12]
On Wednesday, December 22, 2004 at 19:31 (7:31 PM) Philippines, in the Municipality of Tagudin website Guestbook, the following entry was posted:

Fellow Tagudinians:

This is an open invitation for volunteers to serve as linkages or coordinators per country/state so that our website will have linkages anywhere around the globe. Coordinators will serve as contact persons per country/state.

Please send your name, address and e-mail to this website if you are interested. Thank you and may your spirit of volunteerism and return to you a thousandfold! Let us join hands and let Tagudin soar to greater heights and success!

I believe the purpose behind this request is worth pondering over. For one, it is a good thing that the Municipality of Tagudin recognizes the presence of many Tagudinian Associations abroad. And for another, the Municipality of Tagudin recognizes that such Tagudinian Associations abroad are formed, first and foremost, as member support groups. It is also a means by which members can stay current on pertinent news from the homeland, if not from the town of Tagudin proper and its Barangay environs. Ultimately it keeps us Tagudinians in touch with other Tagudinians who are away from home.

That being established, wouldn't it be proper if, like in the Newspaper community we have what we call a "Bureau Chief," or "Main Contact" for the various Tagudinian Associations. This person or persons would have an almost direct line of communications to the Tagudin Municipality operations and would be able to broker important pieces of information back and forth.

Let me give you an example: If there were such Bureau Chiefs or Main Contacts, the plans for the upcoming town fiesta could be announced and disseminated "officially" to all the Tagudinian Associations with one uniform announcement. By the same token, Tagudinians planning to go home to attend the town fiesta could be accommodated by the Bureau Chief or Main Contact informing the town fiesta committee to expect them as guests. It gives the fiesta committee an opportunity to show Tagudinians living abroad that they are still very much a part of the town and are appreciated. The possibilities and benefits are endless.

I can see how the Presidents and Vice Presidents of the various Tagudinian Associations or their Secretaries could easily fit into this role. So go ahead, send the Mayor's Office an email note identifying who your Bureau Chief is or who your Main Contact persons are. Are these the groups that are currently active? In alphabetical order... help me here... somebody....

Tagudinians of Canada (TAGCAN)
Tagudinians of Chicago (TAGCHI)
Tagudinians of Eastern US (TAGEAS)
Tagudinians of Hawaii (TAGHAW)
Tagudinians of Northern California (TAGNORCAL)
Tagudinians of Southern California (TAGSOCAL)
Tagudinians International (TAGINT)

Thank you.

  - Thank you Larry for your solid endorsement of this effort. I appreciate your reminding our dear Kakailians (both readers and posters in this great Seaside Park Message Board) of the importance of lending support to our needy and deserving children in Tagudin. I also know that Micaela, Oping, Rening, Polon from Las-ud, Nomen and Elena are behind this too and I am grateful. God bless!!

  - Thank you Kabagyan! We need to add to the list:

    of which Aloysius Valencia is the president. (NT) -- Deacon Tom Buenavista of Farola SAS Class 1957-58, 01/12/05 6:21am
    - I'm glad to inform you that TAGCOUCHI or TCMC, USA is a compilation of relatives arround the Metro Chicago area. Regarding your proposal to organize a SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION for SAS, I cannot assure you it'll be agreeable for my constituents. This needs an approval not only from its officers but to all relatives who are associated with this group. I has to schedule a meeting & bring this topic to them. I'm not sure if my members will agree with such an idea since some of them had graduated from the Public Schools & some don't even know about Tagudin. I'll just keep you posted for whatever would be discussed from my group. (NT) -- Aloysius, 01/12/05 8:23pm
      - Kabagyan Aloy, thank you for your support. According to Lorna there already is an AA SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION in existence complete with officers in place - which is good because now we don't have to worry about reinventing the wheel. I appreciate your mentioning this idea/drive/concept to the members of your esteemed group - the Tagudinian Cousins of Metro Chicago (TAGCOUCHI) or TCMC. That's all we need to do because to put it plainly NO ONE is obligated to do anything for anybody and in this sense we are appealing only to all kindhearted Tagudinians to channel their generosity towards helping our needy school children in Tagudin. So please... don't twist any arms (only kidding)... folks may begin to resent this idea altogether. God bless!! (NT) -- Deacon Tom Buenavista of Farola SAS Class 1957-58, 01/13/05 5:25am
- hi Manong Tom! I got the chance to call Sr. Lulu Dulay icm, the present principal of SAS and got the news that the recent AA Reunion last Dec. 30, 2004 was great. There was an election of new AA officers and if I heard it right Mrs. Leonora Andaya is the president and they just launched the AA SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION. Maybe it is good for you to coordinate with them too or you can give a call to Sr. Lulu for further inquiries about it. I'll be giving their phone numbers next time, I don't have it today. Regards to manang Melby and Leonard and of course to Auntie. (NT) -- Lorna Labitoria Alay-ay, 01/11/05 11:39pm
  - Hello Lorna, your phone call to Sr. Lulu Dulay, ICM and your post here comes at a most opportune time. You know I just missed that gathering by a couple of days. I was already on my way back to the US at the time they held that reunion. I am glad to hear it was a success. Back to the original topic, I have been trying to make contact with the AA Scholarship Foundation folks. Perhaps Mrs. Andaya or Sr. Lulu could initiate the contact since they are the trustees. Next time you talk to Sr. Lulu, tell her to get in touch with me or give me her email address. I will surely extend your regards to Melby and Leonard (they are in California as you know) and Nanang.

If I can recalled it right, they called you Tommy Buenavesta the Trumphet boy in SAS.

This is the man and your contemporary that you are looking for then. I can add more to the list of fellow Tagudinians who have Fund Raising Experience to help those are in need in our country the Philippines. Former Assistant State Atty. Romeo Somera, Lt. Alfredo Acosta Ret. USN., Mr,Wilfredo Villanueva, Engr. Wilmer Lasquite and Dr. Ernesto Lardizabal, Organization of Doctors big money involved. Let us try to contact more Tagudinians to get more input before the Ad-Hoc. How about those Tagudinians representing Southern California,Mr. Alejandrino Ladi (I know you very well Andring), Mr Roger Belmonte,Tagudinians of Canada represented by Mr. Eduardo Lorenzana, Eastern Tagudinians of New Jersey represented by Mr. Willy Manglapus the nephew of our beloved Sen.

  - Ading Nomencia, we are living in a Democratic country so feel free to do what ever you wanted. Nomen I did not mention about Nurses in Chicago cause I do not know any Tagudinian Nurses that are involved in Fund Raising for the Needy in our Country. To tell you the truth Nurses organization are the big donors next to the Doctors association. (NT) -- Paul L. Villanueva, 01/ 9/05 6:24pm
  - Ading Nomen, I like your Noah's Ark metaphor. It moves me to pursue this endeavor further because it is a cause that benefits our very own needy and deserving young children. Sometimes it's hard for our kakailians to take some time from work and log on to the Seaside Park Message Board and be active participants in this worthy cause. Perhaps too some don't even have a PC at home or some kind of access to the internet. At any rate, through word of mouth we can make some headway, starting with small steps. We can only hope, as we continue to get this off the ground, that more of our Kakailians will get to hear about it and participate. And yes including the newly formed Tagudinians of Hawaii (TAGHAW).

- All I am asking is not to involved politics in this Tagudinian Campaign for Scholarships. If we do I am out here. We will try to accommodate all people who are willing to donate. I am just telling facts that are happening. (NT) -- Paul L. Villanueva, 01/ 9/05 6:42pm
  - Good point. I absolutely agree. Politics could easily kill a fine effort such as this. In order to minimize the possibility of it being politicized, funds raised/pledged/given should be just collected into one big, common fund earmarked for its purpose, i.e., "Scholarship Fund." In this case, there would be no "individual associations" named as "donors" or "benefactors". The entire fund would just be called, "Tagudinians International Scholarship Fund". It would be like getting a package from the "Salvation Army," or "Catholic Charities," or "UNICEF," or the "UN". Of course in the "account ledger" a breakdown could be maintained. For example, Tagudinians of Chicago (TAGCHI) - $2500.45, Tagudinians of Southern California (TAGSOCAL) - $2500.15, Tagudinians of Canada (TAGCAN) - $2550.96.... etc. (Just some examples).

- MANONG POLON, THAT IS PRECISELY MY POINT, NO PLITICS, NO TITLES, NO FAVORITES, NO KOMARE, NO KOMPADRE, WE ARE ALL IN SAME BOAT, THE INGREDIENT IS "SENSE OF BELONGING" MY SUGGESTION IS A RAFFLE OF NAMES SO EVERYBODY WILL HAVE A CHANCE. AT LEAST WE ARE DOING SOMTHING. I'M ALSO OUT OF IT IF IT IS SCHOLARSHIP. LET'S SEND OUR DONATION TO MANANG NELI, LARRY CAN YOU POST HER ADDRESS PLEASE. MY DONATION IS READY. (NT) -- NOMENCIA, 01/10/05 7:49am
  - My mother would be more than happy to personally hand the donations to the right people but let's hear what the other folks would have to say first about this but I think it would be more efficient to take care of the donations in the states. We could elect someone to be in charge of the funds. (NT) -- mod, 01/10/05 11:39am
- Ading Paul you are what we call "a mover" and "a shaker"; thank you for your vigorous affirmation and inclusion of some important folks from Tagudin - professionals all. Yes we have to spread the word and enlist the talent and help of our fellow Tagudinians in this endeavor - especially those who have had countless hours of fund raising experience under their belts. They would be the ones who could really shed some light and guidance on how to go about getting something like this off the ground. I am totally psyched with your recommendation. I sense the gathering tide brought about by your networking and people skills! Let's talk to all our fellow Tagudinians, friends, contemporaries, batchmates and get everybody involved in this worthy cause!!

I would like to respectfully invite ALL our kaka-ilians to give a lot of thought to the idea of helping our needy and deserving young children in Tagudin get a secondary education.

Like our brother Paul Villanueva suggests in an earlier post, and from the responses of Larry, Elena, Micaela, Oping, Nomen and yes our pastor, Fr. Albert Rabe - we can come together as one "Tagudinian International" community and fund a scholarship program for deserving and needy children.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if our many US-based "Tagudinian Associations" and those that are abroad in other nations and continents could, and would come together and pledge their support to sustain such a scholarship fund?

We have Tagudinians of Northern California, Tagudinians of Southern California, Tagudinians of Chicago, Tagudinians of Canada, Tagudinians of the Eastern United States; we may even have Tagudinians of Italy, Great Britain, Australia, Japan, and Tagudinians of Saudi...

I would like to extend a special invitation to all of you our esteemed brothers and sisters in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco Bay Area, New York/New Jersey, Canada and those in other major cities too numerous to mention... come rally around and let us extend a helping hand to our young children in Tagudin. They are our future! Let us invest in the future of our town.

Thank you and may God bless you abundantly!!

- Tom, Allow me to say my piece. "Tagudin" public school system has failed to provide our future doctors, presidents, geniuses a place for a conducive environment for learning. These, I believed is the root cause why we have the "needy" that is less "deserving" for any assistance in there pusuit for higher education. May I recommend solving the root cause by providing them with the necessary tools to overcome the obstacles. This, in my humble opinion will help the needy(majority) to become more deserving(minority) student. Thank you. (NT) -- Ron Lata Cablay , TPHS 1958-59, 01/11/05 11:38am
  - Thank you Ron kabsat. Indeed, young men and women have passed through those High School gates not getting the decent education they so deserve. Since the government puts education at such a low priority, the infrastructure needed to deliver education suffers. Ultimately, it is the student that suffers mental malnutrition. So, what can we as responsible Tagudinians do for our children? We can build bigger and better classrooms. We can get more computer gear so that our kids can stay abreast of technology. But, even if we build bigger, better-equipped classrooms if the government does not hire more teachers - we are back to ground zero. So why not a scholarship fund that will allow the student to compete for the opportunity to attend a better-equipped school? I believe that all of us Tagudinians abroad could do much to give our children back home a fighting chance. Although I know that we are not obligated to do anything, who else will do it - for our very own - if not us Tagudinians? (NT) -- Deacon Tom Buenavista of Farola SAS Class 1957-58, 01/12/05 6:46am

    - Ok guys let's do it altogether. Gently tuck in your belly and inhale slowly, rolling your shoulders forward and up. Exhale slowly, rolling your shoulders backwards and relaxing them down. Do this three times in a continuous motion. Imagine your energy floating up your spine, through your neck and to the crown of your head as you inhale, and then back down as you exhale. Relax your jaw and the hollows under your cheek bones. Acknowledge your thoughts, feelings and emotions as you inhale and then release them as you exhale. Stay conscious and aware. Ahh... that feels good. (NT) -- mod, 12/31/04 12:38pm

Everything i need to know about life, i learned from Noah's Ark -- Karen Aragon, 01/ 7/05 9:52pm [8]
1. Don't miss the boat.
2. Remember that we are all in the same boat.
3. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
4. Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
5. Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
6. Build your future on high ground.
7. For safety's sake travel in pairs.
8. Speed isn't always an advantage. the snails were on board with the cheetahs.
9. When you're stressed, float a while.
10. Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
11. No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.

this is karen aragon, hello to all my relatives and mom's friends. this is Nomencia's daughter.

In response to the person using a pseudo name of Mickey & Co. from the "Katuday" message below. -- mod, 01/12/05 3:18pm [3]

I am sorry if I have disappointed you. The truth is I have not published a lot of messages coming from many different people including certain relatives because of the content of their messages. If I allow these kinds of messages there would be chaos and altercations and this is not what this message board is all about. I also do not approve messages with author names that are fake especially if the contents of the messages are not acceptable. This is easy for me to tell because of their ip addresses. One example is the messages with different names coming from the same ip address from the same computer. As an advice, be careful when you post because every time you log into a website or send an email your trace is recorded. Your ip address could tell what your provider is and other info. If somebody is serious enough to file a lawsuit against you, a court can easily obtain a record from your internet provider with those records. In regards to what you said about Nomencia's messages, she uses her real name and I believe her posts are acceptable. If you want you are welcome to express yourself the way she expresses herself here in this mb just as long as you identify yourself properly with no fake names and don�t go over the limit with your messages. Many of the messages that I didn�t approve went over the limit and they meant to put down other people and to ruin people�s good reputations and some were indecent. You could also directly let her know how you feel by sending her an email since her email address is already well published in this mb. As I have said from the very start of this mb, everybody is welcome. Lastly, if you have any dispute or dislikes against other people, this is not the right place to settle your affair. Please do it outside this board for this board is a meeting place for all of us not just for two or three people and for the sake of friendship and unity.

- Thank you Elena for these precious photos. (NT) -- mod, 01/ 9/05 1:48pm
- These pictures might not even be in the late 50's but in the 40's. I can't even recognize any of the nuns except the two lady teachers at the middle picture. The teacher at the left was the late Miss Socorro Dacio, my ninang & at the right was the late Mrs. Nena Lardizabal Agas, sister of the late Maestra Moning Lardizabal from TPHS. I don't think my relative, Tom Buenavista can identify much of them. (NT) -- Lakay Aloy, 01/ 9/05 3:13pm
- Thanks Larry. The pictures came out very nice , it is clearer and bigger than the original.The top photo maybe in the middle '40's, .Second row rt. Mr. Pedring Lazaga. Maybe its HS Class picture. Middle picture I can not recognize anyone...maybe taken in early or mid '50's. Ka aloy maybe your cousin Mg Ronie Visque can identify some of them..Last picture I recognized Ms Rose Ulpindo in front left sitting next to Mother........?

- Holy Smokes! Thank you for sharing these vintage pictures Elena and for pointing out Ms. Rosing Ulpindo in that last picture. These pictures were probably taken around 1947-48. I'm afraid Lakay Aloy is right... I was still attending Ms. Socorro Somera's kindergarten class at the time. I can recognize Mr. Agripin (pic #2) our High School horticulture teacher seated beside Ms. Dacio. Only one of the nuns look vaguely familiar, the one on the right, though I can't remember her name. These pictures were most probably taken before Mother Ambrose' tenure as Mother Superior. All the ladies look beautiful though and the young men good looking! (NT) -- Deacon Tom Buenavista of Farola SAS Class 1957-58, 01/10/05 9:53am
  - Mother Ambroise is'nt even here. Isu laeng ti napuotac nga madre superior with mother Urban, mother Godelieve, mother Rudolph & mother Anatole. For the priests, I can just remember Father Achilles, father Carlos Desmet, father Pablo, father Chang, father Gerald, father Renato & father James. (NT) -- Lakay Aloy, 01/10/05 2:16pm
    - ..... Reverend Mother Johanna; Rev. Mother Alacoque, Rev. Mother Ambroise,; Rev. Mother Anatole, these names just came out from my head.The reverend mothers used to walk down the streets with big black umbrella with a big long Rosary beads tie on their waist on Saturday or sunday afternoons. (NT) -- Elena, 01/10/05 9:21pm
  - Correction kabagyan, Miss Somera is baket Agus. She's my teacher also in kinder in 1951. Socorro was the former Miss Dacio, sister of the late tang Jose Dacio & nang Cion Dacio Lofradez. I can recognize one of the guys, a classmate of manang Rose Ulpindo, my apid. That's mang Berong from Del Pilar the husband of mang Juling Orallo. I can recognize more but I can't identify them for I'd not seen this guys for a long, long time. (NT) -- Lakay Aloy, 01/10/05 7:06pm
    - I stand corrected kabsat. Of course... it's Nang Agus Somera in that little classroom in the groundfloor of the convent right by Mother Godelieb's infirmary... that puts me in her kindergarten class of 1947. Help me remember... your older brother Lito is my younger brother Raymond's contemporary. This would make you contemporaries with my Sister Willie of South San Francisco. Time certainly has dimmed my memory and as the late Tang Abelardo would say poetically, "Nakari-ingngak kalpasan iti nargaan unay nga ridep ket diak metten malasin tay disso nga naggapuak." (NT) -- Deacon Tom Buenavista of Farola SAS Class 1957-58, 01/11/05 1:55am
      - You're right, kabagyan. Willie is my contemporary. You're older at age but I am older when it comes to generation. Your grandfather, the late tang Graciano is a 2nd cousin of my father, Guillermo Valencia from the Lardizabal. We use to come to your house in Farola & play when we were still kids coz your mom & my mom were best friends, isn't it? (NT) -- Lakay Aloy, 01/11/05 3:07pm
        
        Tang Imong and my late father were good friends as well. They hung out with Tang Vaciong, Mayor Badong, Dr. Galvez, Tang Tanting Somera, Tang Estong Visque, Atty. Marianing Mina, Tang Avelino Ringor, Tang Poroy Dulay, Atty. Jose Dacio, Tang Berto Lamorena, Atty Samson, Tang Andring Lim - whether it was at the cockfights, at poker, or billiards - yes they all came to our house in Farola at one time or another. I remember Nang Felicing your Mom, always with that sunshiny personality that complemented her good looks, always smartly dressed, her hair nicely coiffed - with you guys in tow. I remember borrowing your older brother Lito's "Classics" comic books courtesy of Raymond my younger brother. I remember your uncle Tang Abelardo coming to my Grandmother's store for a sip of basi. I would serve him a glass or two and he would recite a couple of lines that he had written. He and my late uncle Dr. Felicisimo were good friends. Those were halcyon days. Glad you remember.

From the consensus of the group, I will no longer approve post from the people using lolo Paran as their name or anonymous postings meant to offend or to make fun of the messages. Come on guys please be nice to everyone. If I will allow these kinds of messages to be posted, the board will lose its credibility and that will be the end of this message board. That would be sad if that happens because this board has been a good place for important information and it has become a meeting place where we can get to know each other and where we can find long lost friends, classmates or relatives.
Saan �yo koma a dadaelen apo daytoy napintas nga intensyon daytoy nga board.

Tagudin On The March
-- Deacon Tom Buenavista of Farola SAS Class 1957-58
, 01/ 6/05 8:26am [19]
For me this most recent visit to Tagudin has been an eye-opener on many fronts. First and foremost I saw our hometown of Tagudin on the march. There seems to be no stopping now; the wheel of progress is turning at close to "warp" speed.

I had many opportunities to walk the "paved" streets, to view and admire the many new businesses and concretized homes sprouting all throughout the neighborhoods and to lament over some of the more familiar landmarks displaced by newer edifices and facades. Thank God the acacia trees in the plaza are still standing - else I wouldn't have recognized the old SAS compound.

Yet as in any ground swell of progress, there are still some sectors of the overall economy left glaringly lagging behind. Take education for instance. Not that education is not being delivered, mind you. It's the class to teacher ratio (for one) and the lack of classrooms (for another). Imagine 74 students in one class! I saw it with my own eyes over at Tagudin High School. Young people packed in a small room, some standing, some sitting by the seat of their pants on window ledges. It occurred to me... how can these students grasp concepts, assimilate information and become more educated in an environment that is not conducive to learning? I spoke with several of the teachers and the school principal. They expressed the same sentiments... not enough allocations for items.

But this is the future of our town! These young folks are the ones who will continue to bear the torch for Tagudin and usher in the next generation. What can we do? What are we to do?

Over at SAS the situation is a little better and the quality of education more sustainable. What would happen if we encouraged some of the young people attending Tagudin High School to attend SAS instead? This would alleviate some of their overcrowding problems. Upon further investigation it wasn't that the young people attending Tagudin High School did not want to attend SAS. In fact they would readily attend SAS - if only they could afford it. Pursuing the matter further, I found out that it takes P7,000 per student per year to attend SAS.

What if we extended our help to our children there in Tagudin so they could get a decent education? Yes - in the form of scholarships offered at the Barangay level? Look, we are lending a helping hand to the Southeast tsunami victims - here we have our own children in Tagudin trying to survive a tsunami of an educational system that has been relegated to last priority by the Philippine government. P7,000 pesos a year! That's approximately $137 dollars a year per student. We can easily spend more for one evening of fine dining at any restaurant in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, Dallas, Honolulu, Rome, London, Canberra, Toronto, Vancouver - or wherever Tagudinians abroad live and play. Our American born children can easily spend more on DVD's, CD burners, cellphones, digital cameras, MP3 gadgets... Why don't we help our children in Tagudin achieve their dreams...

There are currently 43 Barangays. We can start by offering one scholarship per Barangay as a pilot program and see how it is managed. I recommend that we submit all contributions to the Mother Superior of SAS so she can manage the scholarship offerings for our deserving young students. And yes, students will compete for these scholarships and be recommended by their teachers and other officials.

It is time for all of us to come to the aid and support of our young, talented and gifted children, who, through no fault of their own do not have the financial means to get a good, solid secondary education. This is the future of our beloved Tagudin.

We ought to invest in our hometown's most important asset - our young people! Please consider this proposal. This is NOT a solicitation. Thank you and I hope to hear your ideas.

  - So sorry Paul (adingko), I don't mean to make light of the gravity and scope of the Tsunami impacted sections of society with the parallel. No offense meant I assure you. However, comparatively speaking, one could argue that if we don't act fast and come to the aid of our children there in Tagudin, the lasting effects could very well be as devastating and in the long run debilitating. Just like the ad for the United Negro College Fund states, "A good mind is a terrible thing to waste." Thank you for your kind thoughts and interest. I firmly believe we can make a difference for our children's future. God bless!! (NT) -- Deacon Tom Buenavista of Farola SAS Class 1957-58, 01/ 6/05 5:40pm
- Mannong Tommy, that is really an eye-opener. What I can see is overcrowding and the core of the problem is the lack of facilities like: chairs, classrooms and school buildings. If we have scholarship to encorage students to go to SAS then we are just transfering the problem from one place to another. I think the whole Tagudin will benefit more from our good intention which is to help financially by addresing the core of the problem first. (NT) -- Renato L. Dauz, 01/ 6/05 7:05pm
  - Rening thank you for your input. Certainly we can also address this part or aspect of the situation and come up with funds to create more classroom space, buildings, etc. But a scholarship program goes much deeper in that it promotes and supports academic formation, encourages scholarly pursuits and rewards aspirations. For SAS to be able to offer scholarships to deserving students would not be tantamount to "transferring the problem" elsewhere. In fact it would encourage and reward scholarly competition.

Of course we have to have safeguards (or ground rules up front) so that these scholarship offerings go to truly deserving students. There should also be a great deal of thought given towards giving financial aid to those families of children without enough funds to buy food to eat (like a lunch allowance, etc.).

  - Manong Tom's proposal is great but also I agree with what you said Auntie Nomen that it doesn't need to be the veledictorians or salutatorians who can have these financial aids for we have kids back home who badly want to finish at least their high school but just can't because of financial hardships. I think another way we could help is for us to encourage people to open up more businesses in Tagudin so that there will be employment and this way people might be able to afford to have their kids go to school.

- Larry, Micaela, Elena, Paul, Rening, Oping and Nomen - thank you for your involvement and expressing your thoughts and feelings about a scholarship program offering for our needy and deserving Tagudinian children. I propose that we form an "ad hoc" committee to discuss this idea further and to gather support from other Tagudinians within our immediate reach. With this "ad hoc" task force we can also begin defining parameters, formulating ground rules, establishing procedures and actively campaigning for support. If it's OK with Larry, we can use this message board as our discussion venue. What do you think? (NT) -- Deacon Tom Buenavista of Farola SAS Class 1957-58, 01/ 8/05 2:15pm
  - Manong Tom, that is what this message board is for. We would be happy to hear everybody's view on this topic. (NT) -- Larry, 01/ 9/05 10:03pm

HOW UNIQUE IS YOUR FIRST NAME? -- Larry, 01/ 2/05 4:53pm [32]

In response to Elena's post about names:

My real name is Plaridel. I could say it is unique because not too many people have this name in the United States. It might be a little more common in the Philippines but I think even back home very few people have this name. I used to hate it because it is unusual, long, and most of all, many people have a hard time saying it. I have wished that my parents should had just named me Larry which is the name that people use to call me since it is shorter and easier to say but as I get older I�ve learned to love and embrace my real name for I realized that this is the name that my parents chose for me when I was baptized as a baby many moons ago. I�ve thought of changing it before especially when I changed citizenship but I am glad that I didn't for it is truly a unique name catered just for me and it is the name that I am used to since almost birth, and I also do not want to disrespect my parents� name choice which probably took them a lot of time and thinking to come up with such a name for me. Most Filipinos know that Marcelo H. Del Pilar (one of the national heroes of the Philippines) used Plaridel as his pen-name. There are also a few towns in the Philippines named after the pen-name of Marcelo H. Del Pilar, and the most famous one is Plaridel, Bulacan but in my case I was not named after the national hero del Pilar but I was named after a good friend that my mother had before she married my father. Her name was Pilar. My mom and Pilar were best friends and roommates for many years when they were assigned to teach in the mountain provinces in the Philippines. When my dad who is from Candon, Ilocos Sur got assigned to the mountain provinces to work as a district engineer or engineer for the dept. of public highways, she met my mother and I guess they fell in love and eventually my mother left Pilar to be with my father, and this was very devastating to Pilar or Larry as their friends used to call her because my mother was her only family in those cold and lonely mountain areas and she and my mother were together for many years. So when my mom gave birth to me as her first baby boy, both of my parents decided to name me Plaridel in honor of their friend Pilar. Now I am treasuring my name even more because of the story and the people behind it. Pilar passed away several years ago in the Mt. Province. May you rest in peace Auntie Pilar. I love you and I�m sorry that I didn�t get to see you before you left us in this world. These days my parents who are both retired and in their seventies are managing Seaside Park so just to keep them busy in their senior years. I would like to thank my mother for telling me the story on how I got my name.
The photo is the photo of my parents who gave me the name Plaridel on their wedding day in the late fifties with my granfparents (mother's side) in the background (Francisca (Ikay) Dauz on the left side and Vicente Dauz on the right side).
Now it is your turn.
What do you think of your name?

AND I, NEVER THOUGH I'D FEEL THIS WAY
AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERND
I'M GLAD I GOT THE CHANCE TO SAY
THAT I DO BELIEVE I LOVE YOU
AND IF I SHALL EVER GO AWAY
WELL THEN CLOSE YOUR EYES AND TRY
FEEL THE WAY WE DO TODAY
AND THEN IF YOU CAN REMEMBER

KEEP SMILING, KEEP SHINING
KNOWING YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON ME
FOR SURE, THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR
FOR GOOD TIMES, AND BAD TIMES
I'LL BE ON YOUR SIDE FOREVER MORE
THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR.

AND WHEN YOU CAME AND OFFERED ME
AND NOW THERE'S SO MUCH MORE I SEE
AND SO BY THE WAY I THANK YOU
OH AND THEN, FOR THE TIMES THAT WE'RE APART
WELL THEN CLOSE YOUR EYES AND KNOW
THE WORD ARE COMING FROM MY HEART
AND THEN IF YOU CAN REMEMBER

KEEP SMILING,KEEP SHINING
