What are the Top Reasons You Love Valencia?

[Lorenzo]

Boholanos and Foreign visitors,

What are the top reasons why you Love Valencia?

[Lorenzo]

For me,

1) The warm and intelligent people
2) Badjang Springs
3) Family; Valencia is the ancestral home of my mother and her entire side of the family
4) Food; the food in Valencia is unbeatable
5) Santo Nino Church; a beautiful historical landmark
6) The Fiesta; self explanatory 

What else?

[Lorenzo]

The rice fields. Valencia's rich rice land

[lavingcare]

dong mo love jud ko  sa valencia kay  mao gud ni akong yutang natawhan  ug dugo nga valencianhon  dinhi sad ko mag dako

[lavingcare]

bitaw sad ang basak dako pirting nindota ano ug duna baya sad mi  pipila ka luwang diha  sa basak dako mag ilis ilis  lang  ug trabaho mga egsoon sa akong papa  kay kabilin pa ning basaka sa mga lolo ug lola

[Lorenzo]

haha, bitaw, 'te. I can still remember being a little boy and driving with my Lolo Ciano to the Basak to inspect my Lolo's rice lands. So vast, and so rich in fertility. I can still remember trudging through the stream that cut through his basak, and then back. Valencia is blessed with such fertility and such hard working citizens.

That makes Valencia, one of the shining stars of Bohol.
God Bless Valencia, Bohol!

[ligiah]

why i love Valencia?

[Lorenzo]

Hahaha, what about the chubby little bat that refused to fly? and instead, walked on all 4?

[ellac]

1. valencia politics is one of a kind
2. food
3. fresh air
4. sun
5. sea
6. very relaxing environment

[bolingitboy]

this certainly has nothing to do with any reason for loving valencia but as fans of valencia, you might find this valencia trivia interesting: did any of you know that valencia city in bukidnon was named after valencia in bohol?  back in the 60s, valencia was a barangay of malaybalay, the capital of bukidnon. back then, it had a different name. then, people in the area though they could stand on their own feet and decided to turn it into a town. with the barangay's conversion into a town, the inhabitants decided to call it by another name. they settled on the name valencia (as in valencia, bohol) which was the birthplace of a mr. jaime galorport, the first teacher of the first school  that opened in the place in 1911 while it was still part of southern malaybalay. interestingly, valencia, bukidnon was officially created as a town in 1961 during the tenure of the late President Carlos P. Garcia. in 2001, it became a city.

[bolingitboy]

as a post script, someone might like to suggest to the LGU of valencia, bohol to enter into a sisterhood pact with valencia, city, bukidnon.

[ellac]

ako kabalo ko ana nga ang valencia city was named after valencia, bohol kay ang son sa ex-mayor sa valencia city nakatagay nako sa cebu... hahaha

mas maayo siguro nga ang sisterhood ties would be between valencia, spain kay matod pa sa mga founding fathers sa atong lungsod, ginganlan nila ang lugar ufg valencia kay susama ka nindot ang view sa bukid sa lugar sa ilang native province/city, valencia, spain

[grazie7y]

Thanks, bolingitboy for sharing your knowledge about Valencia, Bohol and Valencia, Bukidnon.  It's interesting and so I googled to know more about the info you gave and I learned more.  Valencia, Bukidnon is one favorite hideaway place of mine when I was still based in Cagayan de Oro.  In fact, I have quite a number of close friends from Valencia, Bukidnon.

ellac, which son of ex-mayor do you have drinks with? 

[ellac]

ang anak ni mayor galario. brought him once in valencia together with our friends in cebu, nalingaw jamu syas badiang..

[bolingitboy]

grazie: you must know the places to visit and hangout in valencia city, given that you used to hang out there in the past. for about a year, i traveled to bukidnon almost every week and made valencia city my sleeping point although during the day, i'd work in malaybalay, at the philippine carabao center, the main campus of CMU and the municipal hall of maramag. i know every twist and turn of this stretch of the highway like the back of my hand... you ever been to apo lake in valancia?

[pioneer]

Thanks Bolingit boy for sharing with us the historical background of Valencia City, Bukidnon. I never knew it before until I read your post.

I worked in Davao City for more than 2 years. During that period, I had several trips to Valencia, CDO, Malaybalay, and other parts of Bukidnon.

I used to dream of living in one of Bukidnon's remote mountains. Just a payag is enough for me.

[bolingitboy]

i agree with you, mike. after countless trips to many parts in bukidnon, i too, am dreaming of having my own little payag in one of the many rolling hills that abound in the area.  if you have traveled from maramag to kalilangan, the bukidnon town that borders with lanao del sur, the scenes and vistas that you see is reminiscent of pictures that you see of new zealand especially if you pay attention to the cattle grazing on a distant hill. i'll probably try and post some bukidnon pics that i have when i get to learn how to post pics.

[pioneer]

Bolingitboy, to learn how to post pictures in Tubag Bohol, Click Here. Use Firefox as your browser. Internet Explorer doesn't have an option for choosing the image location when you right click your mouse.

Or you can post pictures manually. Just paste the image URL and attach this BBC code from end to end: [ img ]http://URL of image here[ /img ] Note: without space

I no longer dreamed of living in one of those lovely mountains of Bukidnon kay walay Internet connection.

[bolingitboy]

thanks for the tip, mike. i'll give posting pics a try soon... seems like you've become one of us technology victims :-)  can't blame you though, as i myself can't go for too long without having the need to go net surfing.

[Lorenzo]

Another reason why I love Valencia is where i grew up as a child.

It is the home of my childhood memories.
If I close my eyes, I can still see my Lola Nating outside of our house in Valencia.
If I close my eyes, I can still remember the sound of the rooster in the morning.

I can still smell the exhaust from my Lolo's truck

I can still remember driving with my Lolo, in my early youth, to Badjang, and just sitting next to him in his truck and eating pandesal and sharing a big bottle of coke with him.

That is why I love Valencia.

[buwadsanga]

why a jagnaanon like me love valencia?

kay suki man namo sila ng asion, nong molong, nong boy, rene ug nong abling!

ug gumikan usab sa badiang!

[TOPAC]

enzo, mura lagi tog naa toy ihatod hatud si nong ciano sa anas elementary school?

sa badiang ba, hapit ko makakita ug sinumbagay diha..

[buwadsanga]

ang usa sa problema sa badiang, daghag hubog! mga local man siguro ni sila mao nga ug duna tay bisita mahadlok!

[TOPAC]

yep, mga local.  ahak kau. diha pa jud koy mga bisita adto mga cebuano and swedes.  ulaw kau ko.. dapat iregulate/limitahan jud ang inum diha. i think na pud mga locals makasud nga way bayad2.. 

[buwadsanga]

lisod i regulate siguro calle kay unjag mga suko mang bato! daghan man gud ug tuba sa badiang! tan-awa ilang mga ngipon color orange na gumikas tungog! hehehe!

[TOPAC]

daan na nangasuko ang mga taga badiang kay gusto pa naman nga way bayad sila sa badiang. naunsa.. healthy kuno na ang oranga nga ngipon buwad..

[Lorenzo]

enzo, mura lagi tog naa toy ihatod hatud si nong ciano sa anas elementary school?

sa badiang ba, hapit ko makakita ug sinumbagay diha..

haha, Calle, you know my Lolo Ciano?

It was probably one of my cousins, as I did not attend Anas Elementary. I went to elementary in BWS for only 2 years before immigrating to the states.

If you know 'Nong Ciano', you probably know my parents then.

[Lorenzo]

Another thing that I love about Valencia is the drive Lolo would take me and my cousin Joseph around the town during our summer breaks.

Mo uban jud mi ni Lolo to do his rounds; Joseph would sit in the back of the truck and collect the passenger's pay and I would be sit next to Lolo because I always wanted to see how he drove, and just sit next with my Lolo.

Sometimes, Lolo would put his hand on my head or on my shoulder.

And after driving, Lolo would take Joseph and I to the mercado to get pandesal, coke, and get candy. hahaha. Mo hatag pud si lolo namo ug bainchinko if he had any extra. We would run to the local store to buy ice water hahaha.

God I miss those times..

[raldampong]

Dong Bran, I love Valencia because of
1. Badjiang Spring- when ever there a round bohol school outing. Badjiang is always a stop over. If you think of Valencia its Badjiang Spring come to my mind.

2.Jess and Niki Maca, two famous boxer from Valencia, I used to drive my pick-up truck  going to Guindulman, when ever I see this two brothers in highway doing there shadow boxing. I always stop by and watched them. Niki become a RP Champion. and Jess is a OPBF champion for fours years.

3. Atty. Milletf Adame - the former Vice President of BAMMI and President of Valencia Assocation of Metro Manila. Very active Associaton in Manila because of Attorney Adame.

4. The rice field along the way.

5. The Old Church

6. The Town Hall

7. The Seaside View

8. Our neighbors at Minoza Apartment at CPG Ave. back Holy Spirit. mga guapa na nar-s pa.
that was in 1980.

[TOPAC]

enzo: yeah, kaila ko imung lolo ciano.  pero wa ko kahinumdum nga mamasahero diay to sya. kita lang ko nia magdrive2 sa truck. daghan salvo sa anas. imu guro to mga ig-agaw ako mga classmate.  mga bright ra ba to..
ang pan de sal imu gi-mean ila ka nang tossing aupe guro na. kay bag-o ra man ng julies dihas valencia..

[Lorenzo]

enzo: yeah, kaila ko imung lolo ciano.  pero wa ko kahinumdum nga mamasahero diay to sya. kita lang ko nia magdrive2 sa truck. daghan salvo sa anas. imu guro to mga ig-agaw ako mga classmate.  mga bright ra ba to..
ang pan de sal imu gi-mean ila ka nang tossing aupe guro na. kay bag-o ra man ng julies dihas valencia..

Haha!!

Yes, yes, taga Anas man si Lolo gud. I have many many relatives there.

[Lorenzo]

enzo: yeah, kaila ko imung lolo ciano.  pero wa ko kahinumdum nga mamasahero diay to sya. kita lang ko nia magdrive2 sa truck. daghan salvo sa anas. imu guro to mga ig-agaw ako mga classmate.  mga bright ra ba to..

My beloved Lolo was a hard worker back in the day, Calle.

He owned and ran his own Trucking Service, "Salvo Lines"

With the salary of a driver and hard work, he was able to send all of his children to college. And all of them are professionals now. My two uncles are Engineers, one a Civil Engineer the other a Mechanical Engineer. My aunt and mother are both nurses here in the 'states, and another uncle who is in Government.

I draw strength from my Lolo and his family because he epitomizes the meaning of 'hard work' and the success that comes from hard and honest work.

[raldampong]

Bran, naa jud ka good breeding. And epitomized your Lolo as your role model in life. Even thought you go grow up in state you still don't forget your up bringing.

Keep that character Bran, sign of a good man.

[buwadsanga]

hinumdum pako sauna Salvo Line mo labay sa Jagna!!!

wish you luck Bran! at paalaala bilisan mo na!

[Lorenzo]

Buwad, you saw my Lolo's Salvo Lines too?

hahaha!

I cannot stop smiling in knowing that you even noticed it too.

I miss my Lolo so much, you have no ideal how much I miss him.

Whenever I see my mother, I can see my Lolo in her face.

[Lorenzo]

Bran, naa jud ka good breeding. And epitomized your Lolo as your role model in life. Even thought you go grow up in state you still don't forget your up bringing.

Keep that character Bran, sign of a good man.

Mr. Rald,

My mother and father always remind me, even during my graduation, "Ondoy, remember your roots, wherever you go in life, remember that you come from very humble beginnings."

It is the sacrifice of our parents, and our grandparents for our parents. We, the children, are but mere branches of the roots (our grandparents) and the trunk of the tree (our parents).

We must never forget our roots and the soil of our upbringing, because our successes and achievements are due to our family's sacrifices.

I cannot forget because it was my Lolo who carried me with his two hands when I was only a baby. And taught me how to swim in the waters of Valencia when I was but a little boy. I can never forget.

His Blood is My Blood.


Lolo Ciano in the center, surrounded by Family.

[TOPAC]

di ba diha sad tindahan imu lolo sa sawang?  ako mahinumduman kay dato na man mo..hehehe  dako man inyo balay sa sawang.. wa nay gapujo ana run noh? luoy ang bay..

[Lorenzo]

I want to renovate the place when I am done. Calle, it seems like you know my family, hehe.

[Lorenzo]

Another reason why I like Valencia:

The dynamics of the local people. Valencianons are a lively bunch. We had a large gathering of mga Valencianons this past June 08' to celebrate the birthday of Manong John Palaca here in New Jersey.

The entire place was filled with mga Valencianons. So many of us around the US.

The noble sons and daughters of Panangatan.

[TOPAC]

imu lolo ra ug lola.. ug inyong balay ug tindahan.. pero ako ra nakaila.. sila wa kaila nako..

[Lorenzo]

A mao ba. lol. Siguro kaila si Lolo nimo, Calle.

[TOPAC]

i doubt it.. (that's an understatement) daghan man mga bata sauna sa valencia, dili pud mi kaafford ug sakay sa salvo lines, mag baklay ra tawon mi.. basin nalabjan mi nija sa kalsada sauna.. pero di siguro ko mahinumduman.. mura mig mga umigas nga magpanon..

[Lorenzo]

Calle, you know that my Lolo would give people rides even if they could not afford the fee?

I can remember when I went out with Lolo sa una i was about 4 or 5  years of age; mo hilak man jud ko sa una ug di ko pa ubanon ninya sa iyang drive. Plus, he is my favorite Lolo, hahahaha. So mo uban ko ninja; siya mo drive ug ako iyang pasahero. Mo ingoon man jud to si Lolo Ciano nako, "Ondoy, imung responsibilidad mo count sa mga pasahero" haha.

Lolo went everywhere to sa una. He would drive to Jagna, to Garcia Hernandez, etc. And mo drive pood tu sija sa bukidnon area. Daghang tawo didto dili maka afford sa pliti, pero Lolo would give them rides.

Instead of paying him with peso, lolo would accept the payment of frutas, saging, mango, mga kanonon gud.

That is why his business was so successful because mo barter pood sija; ug maayo man sija to others who could not afford.

Imagine ka, Calle, my lolo was the eldest of 12 children. He grew up intawn luuy kaayo sa Anas. My Lolo Ciano went to Mindanao pood when he was younger as worker. Ning balik sija sa Bohol kai naka save up pood na sija. Kaning mga Salvo ug Salise, very hard working jud ni sila especialidad ni si Lolo Ciano.

He was not only a father, a husband, but was a driver, was a farmer of his own basaks and was also an avid fisherman. An all-around guy. I am so inspired by him kaayo. To me, he is the perfect father. Provider, and protector. The best grandfather in the world.

[TOPAC]

mauwaw man mi enzo.. mas lingaw pud magbaklay.. gukod-gukod,, unot-unot.. tagnatagna unsa ang sakyanan mulabay, dory ba or st. jude, bohol transit or ramjun..

Hehe, ngano ma uwaw man?

Nothing to be uwaw, be confident with yourself. Keep your head up high. Look forward.

[Lorenzo]

We are going to be celebrating the Blessed Santo Nino here in New Jersey this month. An event will be held in the place of Tito Jan Palaca and later will be held in our place a week later.

The prayer vigil of the Blessed Santo Nino will start this Saturday.

Even though we Valencianons may be far away from our precious Valencia Town, we here in The US still keep hold of our religious and cultural roots.

God Bless Valencia Town and all our mga Valencianons in Valencia and around the world!

VIVA VALENCIA!

[bolingitboy]

SAtown, naa kay mga kaila sa Valencia?  Did you mean Valencia City of Bukidnon?

[SAtown]

opps sorry for the miss post hehe trying to work and post at the same time.  Hi bolingitboy, Babaye tawon ko Gwapa kay tinood bisaya man hehehhe.  No...dia ko sa San Antonio Texas. Naa koy igagaw that I just met about 2 years ago taga Bukidnon.  Beautiful place loved it pero never again will i go using a Bus as means of transportation.  Hadlok ko kaayo sa mountain too steep for me.

[SAtown]

Hi Grazie, Wala lagi koy kaila sa Valencia Bohol, trying to search for any extended family on SALES clan. 

[grazie7y]

Ah ok, SAtown. Hello too!  I have a few friends in Bukidnon - Valencia and Malaybalay.  I will ask them if they know any Sales there.  While there,  I suggest you drop by the Monastery of Transfiguration in malaybalay.  The place is so beautiful.  By the way, what means of transportation would you take if you are not taking bus? 

[Lorenzo]

Satown,

So you're in San Antonio eh? I have an aunt  in the Houston area.
How's Texas treating you?

Regards from Jersey

[SAtown]

Hi Grazie,  I would prefer by Air if possible if not dili puwidi sa land kay hadlok kaayo hehe talawan...

[SAtown]

Hi Lorenzo, SA is good and growing fast.  I go to Houston to shop for my Restaurant  goods.  Dong Lorenzo unsa to imo last name?  Sales ka pod?

[Lorenzo]

Am part of the Lucino Clan. My paternal side is from Leyte, but my mother's side from Valencia. Mom's side is part of Salvo and Salise clan.

[SAtown]

ohh, I see kaingon ko ug Sales Ka.  Anyway its a pleasure to meet you.

[Lorenzo]

The pleasure is mine.

[bolingitboy]

hi SAtown. my hunch was wrong, i thought you were male... there's no other way going to bukidnon from either the north or southern corridor but by bus. there used to be an airport in malaybalay but they closed it down due to the runway's proximity to the mountains and the fact that there's always a fog in the area during rainy days. there used to be a time when i traveled the bukidnon stretch of road and i have began to enjoy traveling through the mountain roads especially when it's drizzling and there's a thick fog. i love sticking my head out of the car window and feel the mist and fog hit my face. such exhilirating experience. but you are right about the roads that can be dangerous though. almost always, there's a car or a semi lying on its side or back along the road... by the way, you might want to touch base with someone who may be one of your valencia, bohol relatives: <bscanlas@transco.ph>

Sir,

Good to know that our fellow Valencianons are celebrating si Senor Santo Nino also even though we are thousands of miles away. Maka humbling pood to hear that we all are thinking about the same thing

Ning ask ko sa ahong inahan unsay' nick name ni Tito Bartholomew--ingoon siya 'Oni' kono. Ooo ning sulti pood mi sa una--classmate man na si Tito Bartholomew sa ahong uncle--si Tito Alex. Haha naka smile pood ko to know that you know so much about the Salise family, sir!

I learn something new jud everyday. Taga new jersey man ni si Tito Bartholomew kono. Pero i never knew naa diay pood mga Namocatcat sa Florida. Good to know lang pood ni for future references pood, haha.

Cheers to you, Sir. I want to go back intawn for the fiesta in Valencia this coming Enero, pero dili man ko maka make it kai mo balik naman ko sa ahong skwelahan karoong 17th sa Enero. Ug mo balika ka para sa Fiesta sa Valencia, sir, please extend my warmest regards to our fellow Valencianons.

How i wish i could go back home. Pohon, lagi, maluuy ang Ginoo.


Regards lang sir,
Bran
