Anak ni Bernardo
Bata pa galing ka, ning hawa na ka sa Pintuyan
9 years pa man ka ning ride na sa banka

Sa Grasya sa Ginoo,
Gi tagaan ka ug gwapang asawa
ug tagaan pood ka 7 mga anak

Ning balik bitaw ka sa Pintuyan nga daku na ka
Naka kita napood ka sa imung Amahan
Kaingoon siya namatay kono ka kai na waman diay ka
Di siya maka believe ikaw iyang anak kai nadaku naman diay ka
Ug gitagaan man ka grasya sa Ginoo sa Langit

Na kulbaan ug na kuratan si Lolo Andot ikaw man iyang anak
Gi butang galing iyang ulo sa dagat kai dili siya maka believe
Kai kaingoon gud siya namatay ka sa una

Ning balika man diay ka niya
Ning balik man diay ka sa imung papa ug imung pamilya

The Prodigal Son.
Anak taga Pintuyan.

And you were my grandfather,
Mr. Rustico Aray Lucino



I love You, Papa Titing.

Papa Titing was the middle child in the family; very pordoy kaayo iyang pamilya sa unang panahon. Ug mu kaon sila mais ra jud ikakaun kai mahal man ang luto. Isda ra pood ang i-kanun, usahay maka kaun pood ug karni, pero dili kalingaw kai mahal man. Luuy intawn.

He was Barely 9 years old when he left Pintuyan. And he was a stow-away in a banka that took him to Cebu. He found work in Cebu as a market vendor. Intawn.

Afterwards he met my Lola (Mama Luz), who was a college student in Teaching. Maistra man to si Mama Luz. Salamat sa dios gi tagaan si Papa Titing ug love of his life.
Mama Luz was also from Leyte (Taga Borgos, Leyte)

Papa Titing, salamat sa grasya sa Ginoo, became a very successful businessman, 'te.
Buy and Sell business. And he was able to send all 7 of his children to college. 3 of his sons finished Engineering (my father was a product of C.I.T Engineering College), 1 son finished Nursing, and 1 finished Medicine (product of Cebu Doctors Medical College), his 2 daughters finished; one in nursing and the other a Provincial Director.

For me, 'te, my Papa Titing is an inspiration. He went through everything, but was able to do so many things and achieved many things through God-given hard, and honest work. Hard and Honest Work.

Conservative Lifestyle. But Successful, nonetheless. If my grandfather, who did not even have a high school educaiton, can do so much and send his kids to college, and provide for them, the things that lay before me is nothing.

I owe it to my Papa Titing. For giving the basis and foundation for my father--who in turn provides for his family (and I his son).

Never forget our grandparents. And most of all never forget our roots.

For me, the Lucino Dynasty stems back to my Papa Titing. Had he not left Pintuyan on a banka when he was only 9 years old. I would not be here today.

The Good Lord truly is Great.
