« on: March 31, 2013, 04:43:32 PM »
so there's booboy (fr chic's), boknoy (lollopalooza's), and lorenz's dog (bismarck?  sorry i'm not so sure about the name now.  all i know is that it is a german name.) 

56 years ago, there was also a dog whose name is tied with a philippine president who met a fiery death in a plane crash.

CEBU, Philippines - Exactly 56 years ago today, a C-47 army plane named "Mt. Pinatubo," carrying President Ramon Magsaysay crashed in Mt. Manunggal, Barangay Sunog, Balamban town killing its 27 passengers including the President.

Francisco Nuya was 19 then, when the incident happened. Francisco, son of Marcelino Nuya—the farmer who discovered the burning airplane-said it was 1 a.m. of March 17, 1957. They were still awake after a late-night trip from Talamban's market to sell onions, when they heard the sound of the coming plane.

He was aroused from sleep early the next morning by a neighbor crying that the mountain top was on fire. Nuya went out to look and saw that the blaze was not a kaingin. He decided to climb at once to the peak. With him were his two sons and the neighbor. They were followed by Nuya’s white dog, whom he called Serging, after the mayor of Cebu City. The press would later discreetly change the name of the dog to Avante. It was the dog’s barking that lifted Nestor Mata from despair, giving him the strength to push himself up from the ground, lean against a tree and cry out, “Tao! Tao!”

The dog ran toward the voice, followed by Nuya and his companions, who had to hack their way through the thick foliage and the undergrowth. On an old clearing now covered with cogon, huddled against a tree, they saw something that looked hardly human, hardly alive. It was black and bloated from head to foot, with monstrous ears and denuded skull and wounds that reeked of the grave’s corruption. As they stared in horror, it limply lifted one black arm and gestured toward the burning plane and from its black mouth came sounds that seemed to them gibberish. Mata was talking in English and Tagalog, strange tongues to these mountain folk.

Yet they understood when he cried: “Help me, I’m in pain!”

The crash happened on a Sunday, it was only on Tuesday when the bodies of the victims were retrieved by helicopters, Francisco recalled.

Marcelino and Avante were both awarded gold medals by the PC for their “meritorious” acts. Avante also got another medal from an animal rights group. Francisco said his father and Avante went to Manila thrice to receive appreciations from the military and some public officials. Following their heroism, Marcelino was appointed as “teñente del barrio” of Barangay Sunog, and was featured in various newspapers and television programs. Marcelino died in 1992 (Avante long before that), and was buried in a simple grave in what used to be his own property (but was sold by one of his children later on) in Mt. Manunggal, as per his request. Francis still keeps the three gold medals and a worn copy of the “One Came Back.”
