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.

The one who can guess it will have a free round trip ticket to the Philippines (just kidding, I wish have that much money to give away).

- That,s the elementary school at Del Pilar District where the late Mr Custodio had been a principal. (NT) -- Aloysius, 12/ 5/04 9:40pm
  - Mang Alos you got it right. Is it in del Pilar or Malacanang? Anyway this is the Tagudin Elementary School ( Central). I think it used to be a high school in the old days but I am not sure. Does anybody know the history of the school? The late Mrs. Elsie Valdez (Batch Valdez mother & the wife of the late Fiscal Valdez) was a principal here for a long time until she was transferred to TGCHS. Mrs. Rachel Ramirez from the posts below taught in this school as well and Elena Lodia Macagba was one of her students/pupils. (NT) -- mod, 12/ 5/04 11:14pm
  - I disagree w/ the moderator and Mr. Alos, that's the grade school building in SAS, han nga diay Central.. One of these rooms was my classroom when i was still in Elementary, way back 1980's.. Anybody agree with me? (NT) -- Bods, 12/ 9/04 4:46pm
    - Bods, this is actually Central Elem., many of the old school buildings in Tagudin look alike. I also thought thought that this was the school building in SAS that everybody was referring to. (NT) -- mod, 12/10/04 7:55pm
      - Agpayso ta kunam Bods. In the 50's,60's, 70's it was the SAS girls HS Classrooms. The building between the Church and Madre's Convent. (NT) -- Ely, 12/12/04 12:53pm

- This is the Tagudin Central Elementary School popularly known as Gabaldon at Del Pilar District where Board Member Pepito Bunoan & Ex Vice Mayor Rogelio Lorenzana resides. The principals who served here were the late Mr Custodio, father of Mr Ed Custodio, the late Mrs Elsie Valdez & the late Mr Mariano Valencia. I'm waiting for my round trip ticked now from Chicago to Manila & vice versa. What about that, or charged to the management of Tagudin Seaside Resort, your dad, manong Selmo?

After reading all these messages and cofirming it with Elena, we thought that this is the building used to be SAS GIRL'S HIGH between the church and the convent. Mang Aloy your information about Central Elementary School is a good info. I would never have known that Central Elem is what they call the Gabaldon Building. (NT) -- mod, 12/17/04 12:22pm

2005 HOROSCOPE -- mod, 12/24/04 6:16pm [11]

  ARIES ..... March 21 - April 19
OVERVIEW: As the year begins, Aries, your focus will quickly shift from play to work -- hard work. After the 10th of January, in fact, it will be tough to talk you into doing anything other than putting your nose to the grindstone. You'll be able to reach your goals more easily, though, so it will be well worth your time and energy to put everything else aside -- for now, at least. Once March arrives, however, you'll be far more interested in taking care of your health and appearance -- and you'll do a great job of it, too.
A solar eclipse in early April will make this a birthday month to remember, and if you're single, this astral equation could also indicate a new relationship. Keep your eyes open after the 14th of April for someone who's extremely sensual and quite focused -- on you! Be sure they're not too focused, though. You know how you get when you feel smothered.
Summer will be an entirely different story. By July, you'll be enjoying lots of freedom, travel and new experiences. Keep your passport current and your suitcases handy. The full Moon of August 19th will also bring along a chance for you to start a new hobby -- the kind that could put you in touch with someone new, exciting and just fiery enough to keep you interested. Don't pass this one up! Both the hobby and the new person could be exactly what you've been waiting for.
By fall, you may be thinking of making a major career move -- one that's entirely possible. After the 17th of October, you may also be making your way along a whole new relationship path. Either way -- or both ways, perhaps -- you'll enjoy this new start, and so will those who choose to accompany you. The holidays look just wonderful, full of lots of good feelings and lots of surprises under the mistletoe. A new Moon on New Year's Eve will put you in the mood to get back to business after weeks of festivities. Go for it!
  TAURUS ..... April 20 - May 20
OVERVIEW: After months of what feels like treading water, Taurus, you'll be able to make some very definite changes this year -- but you may need to use that world-famous patience of yours for a few months. Winter will be full of interesting changes, especially after January 10th. If you're due to make a career change, wait until then. The best part is that once you set your determined little mind to something, there's just no way you won't have it. So when you decide who and what you want, you have only to focus your considerable energies on it, and you can rest assured that you'll reach all those goals -- and more.
Spring will be fun and sociable, and your worst problem may be deciding which wonderful offer to accept, and which to reject. A relationship could change quite suddenly at the end of April, thanks to the lunar eclipse of the 24th. This bright event will spark up your relationship axis, asking that you turn your attention to one-to-one encounters.
But it's summer that will bring you the most exciting changes. Right up until the very end of July, fiery Mars will keep things passionate, but urge you to keep quiet, too. Once August arrives, however, Mars will take all that passion and aggression into your own sign, turning up the volume on your level of assertion. That means this summer definitely won't go by without you making a stand -- a serious stand -- on behalf of someone or something that you want.
Come fall, you'll make some changes, and they'll all be positive. If they don't feel that way at the time, think about this: There's a silver thread that connects everything that's every happened to us to where we are right now. If you're happy with yourself, you should be grateful for every little thing that's come your way -- whether you thought of it as positive or negative at the time. If there are things you want to change, make new choices and get your new show on the road. 'Tis the season for new beginnings, after all!
  GEMINI .....May 21 - June 20
OVERVIEW: As a joint financial matter finally draws to a close in winter, you're finally feeling able to turn your attention toward enjoying life -- and there'll be plenty of opportunities to do just that in February and March. From the 9th through the 15th of January, though, you may need to tie up a few loose ends, but if you can buckle down and do it, you'll reap the rewards of hard work. The full Moon of January 25th will also provide you with the inspiration to keep on going, no matter how hard your work-oriented challenges are -- and to finish up, too! For the rest of the season, you'll be able to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labors.
Your friendships and group connections may change during April, or you may be put in charge of a previously recreational situation -- but you'll just love it. Being in charge will come easily to you during May and June as well, and you'll gain new admirers and lots of new friends who can't believe you're not too good to be true.
Abrupt and sudden changes during summer may not seem to be of the long-term variety when they occur, but if you take a step back and look around, you'll realize that you're really at the beginning of a metamorphosis -- and at the end, you'll be glad for each and every event that contributed to making you 'the new you.' The full Moon of August 19th will give you a chance to express yourself in a whole new way, too. Don't let it go by without taking advantage of it.
During fall, once again, your focus will turn to relationships -- and what to do about them. Money that's owed to you may be repaid, however, and a favor you'd long forgotten about will be returned -- further proof that the good we do comes back to us tenfold. You'll also have the chance to make some extra cash and have some fun, too, so if a hobby suddenly turns into a part-time job around the holidays, make time for it.
  CANCER ..... June 21 - July 21
OVERVIEW: You're going to be very busy for the first few weeks of the New Year, Cancer -- but rewards will come along before you know it. Keep your goals in sight, and don't quit. All during winter, you'll feel the need to expand your horizons, either through travel, moving or connecting with like-minded others. Basically, the universe is giving you the chance to break out of your rut and learn something new. Take advantage of it. Sign up for classes or attend a seminar around the 21st of January.
Spring looks to be quite the hard working season for you, starting as soon as the solar eclipse on the 8th of April. This energizing event will affect your career and public reputation, urging you to take professional matters into your own hands. Just be sure not to ignore your family or partner while you're climbing the corporate ladder. The lunar eclipse on the 24th will shed its light on your friendships and group relationships. At that time, you may be asked to take more responsibility and prove your leadership abilities -- and you'll do a fine job. During May and June, a bit of intrigue may enter your life. Be careful not to become involved in anything that's not completely on the up-and-up.
Once summer rolls around, your focus will shift to your appearance -- possibly because there's someone new in your life who's inspiring you. You'll be tempted to spend more than you know you should once August 17th arrives. If you have to make a major purchase, shop around carefully.
Career and family will once again keep you busy during fall, especially around the 3rd and the 17th of October, when a pair of eclipses will activate these areas of your life. If you've been thinking of making a new career start, this would be a fine time to do it. By the end of November, you should be settled in comfortably -- like you'd been there all along. Money matters may be tight during the holiday season, but don't panic. You'll enjoy the season more if you concentrate on warm feelings, comfort food (your specialty) and mistletoe.
  LEO ..... July 22 - August 21
OVERVIEW: As the year begins, you may feel torn between putting in more time at work and giving yourself some quality time alone. You can find the right balance if you manage your time wisely, and if you remember to 'measure twice and cut once.' Do it right the first time. During February, your primary relationship will keep you busy. If you're not attached as the season begins, get yourself out there and look around. The new Moon of the 8th could bring someone along who's just different and unusual enough to keep you interested.
During spring, an urge to learn something new will tempt you into taking classes or taking off for parts unknown with your partner. A proposal or a lovely invitation could come your way after the 23rd of May, too. Be prepared to make some changes for nothing but the most delightful of reasons.
Summer will be a fun, sociable season for you -- but expect some delays while traveling or attempting to keep your appointments between July 23rd and August 16th, when communicative, travel-loving Mercury will throw his engine into reverse -- in your own sign. During this time, always have a Plan B ready to go, and expect everything to take longer than you'd anticipated. This doesn't mean you won't enjoy yourself. In fact, you'll probably meet someone you never would have crossed paths with if you'd been where you were supposed to be.
Your natural talent for charming chitchat will be even more lethal during October. You may even be able to have a positive impact on a tough family situation. Take advantage of the good, warm feelings the holiday season inspires, and see if you can't remind loved ones of the importance of staying close. You may have some extra work heaped on your plate during mid-November, but it's nothing you can't handle. Travel plans will come together nicely during December, so make your arrangements and rest assured that all will be well.
  VIRGO ..... August 22 - September 21
OVERVIEW: You'll probably find the first half of 2005 to be quite different from the second, Virgo. During winter and spring, you'll be thinking over money matters, and trying to get things settled. In summer and fall, you may feel the need to hibernate for a while to get your energy level back to where it was before all the excitement started -- and these seasons will be exciting, for several reasons.
Still, you'll have nothing but success when it comes to finances, especially if you're working with a partner. Jupiter, the benevolent king of the gods, will spend most of the year helping you to make sound financial decisions and choose the right partners. Listen carefully to the advice of elders around the end of January. A relationship will heat up and turn quite passionate around the end of February -- and it will stay that way through March.
A pair of eclipses during April will get your spring off to an amazing start -- especially when it comes to intimate matters and joint finances. Someone from out of town may also make a rather stunning entrance into your life. Tend to your career responsibilities during May and June, and expect to be rewarded by authority figures as early as June 4th. Secrets and whispers will be on the agenda at the end of June, so expect to be spending some time behind closed doors -- but not necessarily alone.
Summer will arrive with the chance to join forces with a whole new group, either for spiritual or metaphysical reasons. You'll get an awful lot out of their company and their influence, so don't hesitate to get totally involved. Your birthday will be extra fun this year, thanks to a new Moon and a full Moon, bringing along surprises and lots of fast-paced change.
If you're in need of the advice of a professional during fall, rest assured that you'll find someone who can help during October or November. Look around carefully, do your homework and be sure to investigate all your options before you sign on the dotted line. Expect long-distance friends and family to come along during the holidays, making them especially merry. Enjoy!
  LIBRA ..... September 22 - October 21
OVERVIEW: You'll probably find the first half of 2005 to be quite different from the second, Virgo. During winter and spring, you'll be thinking over money matters, and trying to get things settled. In summer and fall, you may feel the need to hibernate for a while to get your energy level back to where it was before all the excitement started -- and these seasons will be exciting, for several reasons.

  SCORPIO ..... October 22 - November 21
OVERVIEW: Your own planet, Pluto, will continue on his path through Sagittarius during 2005, putting laws, education and politics at the forefront of everyone's minds -- but yours in particular. You'll be even more likely than usual to get involved this year, but try not to get carried away. Remember, others do have a right to their opinion -- even if they're wrong!
Your urge to lecture -- and to go on at length, truth be told -- will be especially strong during January, when several planets in Capricorn will join forces with the new Moon to make it next to impossible for you to keep quiet. The first half of this season will seem to rush by you, but late February and March are times you'll want to remember. Slow down and enjoy this time to its fullest.
The pace of life will pick up dramatically during spring, especially when it comes to relationships. In particular, during April the lunar eclipse of the 24th will illuminate this area of your life, bringing with it the chance to either become closer to your current partner or to find someone new who'll be in your life for some time to come. If you've recently come out of a relationship, go slow.
During summer, your focus will turn to an emotional matter you were sure had long since been resolved. If this issue comes around again, don't be upset. Use the energy of the full Moon of July 21st to talk it all out and get it settled, once and for all. You can reach a happy compromise if you're willing to let go and let the universe drive. The full Moon of September 18th will bring you a chance to become friends with a whole new peer group. Go ahead and get involved. Expand your horizons.
The solar eclipse of October 3rd and the lunar eclipse of the 17th will both affect your subconscious desires. You've always been an expert in that department, but now -- well, now, you'll want more than just physical intimacy. You'll be after true intimacy on all levels, and you won't stop until you have it. That goes double for your encounters with family members around the holidays.
  SAGITTARIUS ..... November 22 - December 20
OVERVIEW: During 2005, you'll have a chance to cash in on the solid reputation you've created for yourself over past years. You've probably become almost famous in your chosen profession -- so obviously all that hard work was worth it. As soon as January, however, you'll be able to resume your favorite activities: leisure, pleasure and fun. You may be doing it in private, but that won't be a problem. You definitely won't be alone unless you want to be. Money matters may be less than fun to deal with, so be sure you have someone to talk to -- someone you trust. Then let it go, and concentrate on the full Moon of March 25th, which is due to turn up the volume and intensity in your love life.
You may be uncharacteristically concerned with settling down during spring, but don't panic. Remember, you really can have a life and a relationship at the same time. You just have to choose the right partner -- someone who's as freedom-oriented as yourself. An individual who answers that description could be along as soon as May 23rd, by the way, so be ready.
Summer's astrological highlights will inspire you to learn some new skills and study subjects you've always been interested in. You're a lifelong student, always at home in a classroom. Make the most of it now. The full Moon of August 19th will inspire you to begin or resume the study of something you really enjoy. By the end of September, you should be up and ready to run.
The eclipses due in October will turn up the electricity in all your friendships, and could herald a change with regard to one in particular. So if someone you've only thought of platonically suddenly makes noises like they're interested in much more from you, think carefully about whether you're ready for this -- and if you can go back to being friends again if it doesn't work out. The holidays look just wonderful. Don't forget to spend some quality time with the elders in your life.
  CAPRICON ..... December 21 - January 19
OVERVIEW: Your own planet, serious Saturn, will spend the first half of the year influencing you with regard to relationships, Capricorn, and the second urging you to get up close and personal with someone you've just recently learned to trust. But during the whole of 2005, you'll be just as concerned as ever with your career. The good news is that you'll be amply rewarded for your efforts in all departments, and the kudos will start pouring in as soon as the 9th of January.
For the rest of winter, you'll focus on your personality and appearance. You may be in the mood to start a diet or quit a bad habit during January. In February, you'll want to tend to money matters -- which may be a bit tricky to navigate. Keep an open mind, and don't hesitate to explore unconventional possibilities. The full Moon of March 25th will bring attention to a family situation -- one you've been worried about for some time. Let go and let your emotions show. The solar eclipse in April will help to bring closure to the matter.
For the rest of spring, you'll be intent on getting closer to someone you've only been thinking of casually for some time now. It's time to put intimacy on the front burner. Whether it's emotional, physical or intellectual doesn't matter. Bare your soul with confidence. In particular, the full Moon of June 22nd will arrive just in time to help you be brave and bold, personally speaking. Take advantage of it.
The urge to get close won't be going anywhere soon, either. All during summer, you'll be focused on a certain person -- but fortunately, they'll be just as focused on you! This could mean -- once again -- that you're due to either end a relationship or take a casual encounter to a whole new level. Just don't let your work slide. You have your reputation to think of.
A voice from the past could arrive early in fall. Before you allow them back into your life, be sure you're ready for a committed relationship -- because that's exactly what they'll have in mind. During October, two eclipses will help you to turn toward career matters and think less about personal things. By the time the holidays roll around, you'll be quite ready to relax -- and you'll certainly have earned it. Some new family members may be along to help you enjoy your time together -- but don't forget about that mistletoe!
  AQUARIUS ..... January 20 - February 18
OVERVIEW: You've been dealing with intensity and passion in all your communications for years now, Aquarius, which means you're probably quite skilled in that department now. Still, as 2005 rolls around, you may find that you're even more prone to speak your mind and let your opinions be known. That goes double for the first nine months of the year, which outgoing Jupiter will spend in easygoing but assertive Libra and your solar house of opinions.
You may be willing to keep quiet for a few weeks, especially after the holidays, so January will be quiet. You'll also need some alone time during this month, especially around the 10th, when a new Moon will inspire you to get to know yourself better. After the 24th of February, you'll need to be careful with money -- in particular, watch out for being taken advantage of by someone. And from the 20th of March on, you won't mince words -- not at all -- when it comes to speaking your mind. Go easy on anyone less well-armed.
That strong-willed trend will continue throughout April, and well past the lunar eclipse of the 24th, when it will be even harder for you to contain yourself. Come May and June, however, you'll be far more sensitive to the needs and feelings of others, and more willing to stifle yourself -- just a touch -- to be sociable. By the end of June, even if you feel swamped by responsibilities and not all that happy about it, you'll keep your nose to the grindstone and your comments to a minimum.
During summer, you'll be more focused on work than on play -- much to the chagrin of your dear ones, who'll be trying to talk you into getting out of town for at least the weekend. Explain to them about how diligent you're feeling, and put off any travel plans until after the 17th of August. At that point, you'll be quite ready for a break in the action.
During fall, you may be so ready for a break, in fact, that you'll be looking longingly at your passport. The solar eclipse of the 3rd of October may put you in the mood to travel overseas -- but if you don't have to go alone, don't, and make sure you're home in time to enjoy the holidays with dear ones.
  PISCES ..... February 19 - March 20
OVERVIEW: As the New Year arrives, Pisces, you'll be quite intent on making a name for yourself within a group situation. You'll do a fine job of it, and you'll be remembered for some time to come for your efforts. During January, you'll be focused on joint financial situations and intimate relationships, all of which will work out quite well as long as you're not afraid to ask for -- and take -- the advice of an elder. The new Moon in your own sign on March 10th will call your attention to your physical self -- and while you in particular should never ignore your emotions, you might want to pay attention to the outer you, just for a while.
During spring, and most especially in April, monetary changes could be en route. Does that mean you'll be pinching pennies? Not at all. In fact, if you're smart about it, you may have more money to spend frivolously than you've had in some time. After the 15th of April, thanks to Venus in steadfast Taurus and your house of communications, you'll be especially persuasive, too. Don't even think about giving up on any argument. You're ready to make constructive changes, and to make them quickly. You go!
Once summer arrives, you can rest assured that you'll be entertained -- and quite amused! At least one new suitor will come your way after the 21st of July -- someone who's as home- and family-oriented as yourself. You'll also be willing to apply yourself completely to getting the job done at work, but with family issues so pleasant, who'd blame you if you were late -- or even absent -- for a few days?
As the year draws to a close, one-on-one relationships will still keep you busy, but with the solar eclipse of October 3rd, and the lunar eclipse of the 17th, you'll shift to money matters -- joint financial issues in particular. If you're not happy with the way your half of the money is being handled, take back control of the checkbook and don't apologize for it. Be careful with finances during the holidays, but do enjoy yourself.

Negative comments about Tagudin Seaside Message Board -- Liz, 12/29/04 5:07pm [23]
I was going through the new messages at the municipality of Tagudin Guest Book, and I came across a message from "Tagudin" dated the 28th. He/She said this messageboard (Tagudin Seaside) is mainly used by agkakabagyan (relatives).

In fairness, I don't think this is the case at all. And I'm sure a lot of us who post on this board feel the same way. When it comes to contacting long-lost friends and acquaintances (and relatives!), this board has been, and continue to be a trusted medium.

RCLL (message dated 12/29) did come to this message board's defense and had some good things to say. He did a little chiding on the side by saying 'narigat no puro tayo negatibo'.

He did say something about some of the messages being too personalized (did he mean personal?) and bastos.
I say - Take it with a grain of salt and move on.

By observation, we, Tagudinians are a hard-working group, but when we play and joke around, we REALLY do it to the extreme. The jokes and messages being passed back and forth on the board are all normal, as far as I'm concerned, among FRIENDS. It might be a little vulgar (ok, a lot!), to the uncommon reader, but if you were a real Tagudinian, you would know there is truth to what I just said. It can get worse!

But when all is said and done, it all boils down to our Tagudinian ways - the humor,the quirks and practices that continually prove to help in our everyday survival, wherever part of the globe we might be at the moment.

Mr. Moderator, all the sweat and sleepless nights you put in on this message board, believe me, they are all recognized and greatly appreciated.

Nagbalin met nga commentary daytoyen. Sorry.. Logging off now.

- Thank you Liz. I am not surprised I know it�s going to happen sooner or later that there would be negative comments circulating out there about this site. With the Internet being so big and with the freedom of speech that everyone has, these things are inevitable. That is why I don�t venture out as much as I want to in the net because of the negative things that I read. In regards to what is being said that this board/site is just for relatives only, I think they are mistaken. The board is for all Tagudinians who would want to participate in the discussion related to our town. Everyone is welcomed here whether they are relatives of Seaside Park or anyone's relatives, from the town or from the barrios, alumni of SAS or alumni of TGCHS or from any other school in Tagudin. This board also welcomes non-Tagudinians especially the people from the neighboring towns and people from all parts of the world. (NT) -- CONTINUED BELOW, 12/30/04 2:17am
- The way the conversations are being carried here in this board is what makes this forum alive and fun otherwise it would be a dead forum and I agree with you Liz that these kind of conversations are normal for most of us who are familiar with the traits and practices of the people of Tagudin. We just have to make sure that we know the difference between a bad and a good message and not to allow messages considered to be inappropriate to make this board as homely and friendly as possible. Maintaining this mb is a breeze for me and the only difficult part is when I have to disapprove a message for I feel bad that I�ve disappointed the person posting. I will continue to maintain this board/site for as long as people are interested and people visit the site. (NT) -- CONTINUED BELOW, 12/30/04 2:17am
- I�d like to invite everyone once again to post and bring all your relatives and friends with you to this meeting place in the Internet for Tagudinians. Everyone is welcomed. The more the merrier. Don�t get intimidated by the messages that you see. Post what you feel and don�t worry about grammar or typo errors. Agilocano kayo apo no dayta iti nasaysayaat nga panakaybigkas dayta kayat yo nga ibaga. I hope that this board is doing its job in entertaining us and our fellow kakailians and in bringing us closer together and a little closer to our beloved town of Tagudin. I thank all the posters and contributors to the mb especially the following people: Elena Lodia Macagba, Nomencia Canosa Aragon, Deacon Tom Buenavista, Aloysius Valencia, Ely Visque, Lorna Alay-ay Labitoria, Mary Legaspina and also to you Liz. Agbiag iti ili tayo a Tagudin and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! (NT) -- mod, 12/30/04 2:18am
  - This site is not as easy to maintain as what Mr. Moderator portray. You need a lot of talents and valuable times to maintain this site. I believe that all of us, even the ones who have negative things to say, appreciate this site what it gives/does to all of us. I am a full blooded Tagudinian and I love all the jokes. I am worried about the kids reading (very) few double meaning jokes. . . but negligible! Isu nga ituloyyo latta Apo ti agiinangaw! Bay-antay lattan dagiti sidunget.

If you don't join in then you are missing a lot. Keep on going Mr. Mod. This site had made my life here abroad more meaningful and every day full of eagerness to open this website.

- To all, well said and done. I like your comments. I never thought that my posting in the Tagudin website on 12/28/04 will generate all these comments. I was just sharing the news that we also have one more website in Tagudin. If it happens that I am related to whoever shouldn't be an issue. I love to share news, jokes and pleasantries to friends, classmates, shipmates, relatives and to fellow Tagudinians as a whole. We should feel fortunate and proud instead that we have both of these website available to us. Both sites are great and I admire and appreciate those people who developed and keeped them running.

- HAPPY, HEALTHY AND A PROSREROUS NEW YEAR TO ALL TAGUDINIANS! Larry, you are wonderful in creating a web where tagudinians are able to communicate and found relatives and friends that they haven't talked or seen for a long time. i am grateful to you because i found some good friends and relatives through this web site and as of now we continued to replenish the relationship that we used to have when we were in tagudin.....that is priceless and it's all because of you. you created this web site with a good intention and that you believed in your heart that you can make your kakailians to remember where they came from and to reminisce the good old days. sometimes, negative thoughts come and try to mess up what is good but the positive ones will make it prevail. you are doing a great job. i believe that you made something that came from your heart . thank you and i hope that you will continue what you had started. thank you.

I am actually thinking of writing a mb program catered just for this site but that will be for the future since there's still a lot to learn on how to do it and I think it's not a good idea to put too much restictions in the mb.

Meaning of Names -- Evangeline Valdez Kelly, 01/ 4/05 12:02am [4]

Larry and Manang Elena,

It's nice of you to share the meanings and origin of your name. I could see that you are all having wonderful time in sharing and communicating with one another thru this message board.
Well,I guess it's my turn to share my story. My name is Evangeline which means the "one who brings good news and good blessings" I was born on Oct.18.My Mom and Dad was expecting their first born to be a baby boy.There was no Ultrasound yet at that time to tell the sex of the baby. To their surprise came a baby girl.They were not prepared for a name of a baby girl.Using their resources and thru the recommendation of a priest,they look in the catholic calendar.It was the feast of St Luke,the Evangelist,so they named me Evangeline.I was just recently that I learned that St.Luke was a physician who is the Patron Saint of Health care workers. Here I am......I became a nurse.....

- Hey guys we did great. Here are some of the names that are waiting to be listed. The ones we are not sure about: Dolores (?), Mario (? Section 2), Victorina (?), Diomedes (?) and Romeo(?) Manzo. Jojo is not sure about his name. One of the question mark is Jesus but I believe his last name is Cortes but not sure if it with the z or s. Pls. correct me if I am wrong. Also, is it Dominga Laza or Lazo? Dolores that I am referring to is the Dolores who used to live with the Mina family. I am not sure if it is the same Dolores that is already in the list. I also added Marcelino Laplana. I am not sure if he graduated with you guys. He was a classmate in the third year. Doing this list has been a truly a blessing for me. It made me cherish more of the time when we had high school together and made me remember our classmates. We are almost there in completing the list. Thank you again. (NT) -- Larry, 11/20/04 9:28pm
  - Larry, got nothing to contribute today. I just happen to read your mail here and I find it funny (I'm all smiles here). Coincidentally, we have both Domingo Lazo and Dominga Laza. No kidding, swear to God! If those two got married, introducing them would always be funny. DGs, forgive me - just can't help wondering...and by the way, it's Marcelina Laplana, she boarded nearby us. Aren't we so obsessed of finding out the family name of Dolores??? I wish I could help...she's that 'plumpish' one (sorry to use the word), isn't it? . I really can't thank you enough for giving your time...if there's something I gained in this, it's 'friends' re-discovered. I'll always keep in touch. Sometimes my messages merit some corrections. My hands are faster than my eyes can't keep up with- please feel free to edit. .... Masalam! (NT) -- Mary Anne Pagaduan, 11/21/04 5:30am
    - Uray siak, umisisemak ditoy sangwanan iti computer no makitak dagitory nagnagan. Adda Marcelino Laplana. He was a sectionmate in second or third year. Karruba da Elnida ken Mildred dita daya. Yes, that is the Dolores that we are not sure about. She was a elem classmate in Las-ud. No adda malagip mo ipost mo latta ta iyadda ditoy listaan. This has been great and it is worth more than my efforts. (NT) -- Larry, 11/21/04 1:21pm
- Larry, I think it's Mario Libao, Norberto?(sec 2), Adelia Aquino, Rosemarie Lacasandile and guys anyone remember the names of those ladies used to live in the convent? Marivic Lapitan. (NT) -- JOJO, 11/21/04 5:41pm
  - Jojo, baka ni Sister Wievenne ken ni Sister Clara iti kunkunam(angaw laeng). I am grateful and appreciate those missionary nuns for they dedicated their lives to serving the town of Tagudin. Keep posting the names and I'll will add them. Sooner or later maybe we might be able to complete the list. (NT) -- Larry, 11/23/04 12:40am
- Batch 78 -- Assumpta, 11/22/04 9:28am
  - Hi Assumpta, that is ok. Komusta. I know a lot of people don't remember me since my high school days in SAS were brief. I was in a section in third year called "yellow" or I think it was sec 6 under Ms. Visperas. My sectionmates were Fe Domingo, Jaime Castro, Evangeline Pulanco and Valdez to name a few. I am glad you've found this site. Mary Anne, Jojo, Arnold have been helping me with the names. If you remember names from our batch, please post them so we can add them to the list. I believe your parents were mahjong buddies of my parents back in the old days as well. I remember you very well but we probably never had a chance to speak to one another in high school since you are from a different section. This probably why I why I misspelled your name, and pls accept my apology. Regards to your family. (NT) -- Larry, 11/22/04 1:00pm

- Class 1978 List add-ons -- Evelyn Jove-Flores, 11/22/04 8:32pm
  - Dear Evelyn, It is great to hear from you. Wow! You are a registered nurse and to top it a president of Fil-Am group in Texas. I'm very happy for you. I knew you were going to do well since you were one of the brightest in our class section. Every now and then I think of our classmates. Remember when we had a classroom contest and we were going to change the color of the floor of our classroom so it would look nice in third year high? What a joke that was but I had a lot of fun and have lots of good memories from that. It was almost funny because it turned out we made the floor uglier. Say hello to your husband Robert and to your kids. It is nice that both of you in the same class batch ended up being married. Take care. We did have Bernardo Labayne in our class. I believe he was from Sudipen. (NT) -- Larry (Plaridel), 11/23/04 2:48am

She is an active official of the Alumniana Augustiniana. I used to keep the lists when I was still at SAS but I handed them all to ma'am loret when i came to HK. She'll be glad to furnish you a copy of your batch list. (NT) -- lorna labitoria alay-ay, 11/24/04 11:30pm

ATA-ATA -- Moderator, 11/ 5/04 3:23pm [5]

Here's an article for those visitors who are not Ilocanos or Ilocanos who are not familiar with this Ilocano delicacy called "ata-ata".
COURTESY OF THE MANILA TIMES

If Japanese savor raw fish, Ilocos devour 'ata-ata'
(July 21, 2003)
SAN FERNANDO CITY, La Union�The Ilocanos have always been vegetarians. Whatever edible vegetation is found in and out of their backyards is turned into food.

Take the lowly saluyot, for instance. Before it was widely introduced to Filipinos as an edible dinengdeng ingredient, people considered it a backyard weed. It grew relentlessly in every corner of an Ilocano backyard.

Ilocanos also relish raw food. If the Japanese and the Visayans savor raw fish, Ilocanos devour ata-ata, with an urge akin to biological instinct.

�Yang sushi-sushi at sashimi-sashimi, na yan wala yan sa ata-ata[Sushi and sashimi are nothing compared to ata-ata],� said a devoted ata-ata eater in San Fernando City as he dared, �Kumain nga sila ng ata-ata kung kaya nila [Let them eat ata-ata if they can].�

But what is ata-ata?

It is a recipe originally for the macho Ilocano, comprising a mixture of raw beef and liver, onions, leeks, salt, chili pepper and the special papait, a greenish bitter fluid contained in cows� small intestines.

Other regions in the country mistake the pinapaitan for beef and entrails cooked in cow�s bile.

Staunch ata-ata eaters consider it almost a sacrilege when one uses cow�s bile to make it bitter. Purists among these eaters use the small intestines with bits of undigested grass.

First-timers always find ata-ata unsanitary. Aside from the quickly heated papait, eating raw beef and raw cow liver is frowned upon by most health buffs. But Ilocanos insist it always perks up one�s adrenalin particularly when one is suffering from a hangover from last night�s drinking spree.

Ata-ata is best eaten at breakfast. Eating it at nighttime is taboo.

A day in the life of an ata-ata eater starts at 4:00 a.m. as he goes straight to the slaughterhouse and orders as much as a kilo for one meal alone.

A kilo in San Fernando City costs P150 and the earlier this is bought the better, as the freshly slaughtered cow is best.

Then you ask for the pinapaitan. It is placed in the small intestines, which are tightly knotted at the end to prevent it from seeping.

The devout eater gets as many as three to four pouches of pinapaitan. Often, a latecomer has to make do with a small pouch containing a mixture of bile and water or pes-pes, juice extracted from undigested grass in the cow�s stomach.

Straight from this purchase, the eater washes the meat thoroughly and slices it as thinly as possible, across its grain. Over a small pot, he empties the contents of the small intestines and heats these very quickly.

When the liquid boils, he removes the pot immediately from the fire.

He slices onion leaves or leaks, onions, puts in salt and mono-sodium glutamate and mixes the heated papait with the meat.

He adds crushed chili peppers to the reddish fresh meat and eats it with rice, using his hands.

  - Hi Pia, yes you are right about the wet and cold part for I remember even in the summer it can be cold and rainy. Germany is also where I first saw snow. I remember Reeperhahn in the St. Pauli District. It reminded me of those places in Amsterdam. I remember there was also a nice garden and a zoo but what I remember the most is the bahnhof since I spent lot of time around train stations when I was travelling around. There were also a lot of cheaper hostels around the train stations since I was poor and travelling on a very limited budget. I found Hamburg a convenient city for it was faster to go to Berlin through Hamburg if your are coming from Frankfurt/Cologne(Koln) area one of my favorite cities. (NT) -- CONTINUED BELOW, 12/24/04 12:30pm
  - I was fortunate enough to get a chance to stay in one of the small towns in the Rhein area for several months. It is a beautiful place and very clean and same goes with the whole Germany and Germans are very punctual. Everything is on time which could be a problem for first time visitors. No ammok la koma idi nga adda taga Tagudin dita Hamburg, It would have been a joy to see someone from our town since I was a stranger and didn't know anybody there. Thank you for making me reminisce about my travels in Germany and thank you for your invite. Perhaps someday I'd be able to see Germany again. Hello to all the Germans and to all the Tagudinians over there. I know that there are a number of Tagudinians living and working over there mostly in the medical field. God bless and Happy Holidays to you and your family. (NT) -- Larry, 12/24/04 12:31pm
- Hello Larry, I am wishing you too, and the whole family a peaceful,healthy and a very successful New Year!! You have a very good memory and it is really a pity that we didnot get to know sooner.
