Wala. Tubig lang. Gilaming nako ang akong kaugalingon kay kombirang way sama na sa Loon ugma!

Pasensya na mo kay pirting bisiha jud. Sigi lang og tampo kay maatiman lagi na nako, starting September 9 or 10. Salamat sa pagsabot. Misabot bitaw ko ninyo nga dili mo mamayad (ha ha ha! namoyboy). Ipadayon nato ning atong lingaw-lingaw inig ka hilis na sa akong pangan-on karong pista sa Loon.

"Ligalig", not TB's Ligalig but cable TV's. Well-made, mora'g Hollywood suspense thriller. And surprise . . . it stars and is directed by Cesar Montano. Playing cameo roles are his wife and Panglao lass Rebecca Lusterio, who played that small girl disguised as a boy just so she could go with the "panagatan" of Cesar in "Muro-Ami".

Nakasal ba tuod ni sila ni Pilarnon?

Pwede sad lending pero dapat naay collateral aron dili ma TY imong capital.

Kuyaw ning lending karon diri sa Bohol kay pang tulison ang mga collector. Or kontsaba ba pud kaha.

I think "bangga" is eskina in Iloilo. "Para sa bangga."
Pubic hair in Iloilo is "sabot". So kon Ininsik ang pagka sulti as in "Wa ko sabot", instead nga "Wala ako makasabot", mangatawa jud ang mga Ilonggo.  

Haaay, joke time na lang sa ta: "Nganong ibalhin pa man gud na nga ang Bilar naa naman sa center sa TagBILARan!"

I just can't find a very good reason why CVSCAFT Tagbilaran should be the main capus.

Most of the advanced state universities in the Philippines are located in rural areas where they have turned the latter into urban centers. Expansion is their advantage, especially as regards research and infrastucture development. Also, they can be accessed easily by communities that they are mandated to serve, like the marginalized sectors of sociey. CVSCAFT Tagbilaran does not possess these advantages.

Loon: Bohol's emerging prime tourist destination
Source: Municipal Tourism Council of Loon, Bohol

Turn back the hands of time and walk through a profusion of built heritage and a community steeped in a wealth of traditions in culture and the arts.

Explore an underwater paradise in one of the world's most amazing dive sites, sunbathe on white beaches and sand bars, come face to face with mangrove monkeys and myriad birds that fly in wild abandon in sylvan surroundings, and marvel at the biodiversity of Bohol's only island lake.

Give yourself an adrenaline rush as you paddle through a labyrinth of mangrove thickets, cross a winding river that reveals a secret paradise, scale mountains and craggy cliffs, and discover mystical caves that have remained unexplored for many years.

Finally, soothe your weary body by immersing in nature's spas complete with springs and waterfalls.

Experience all of these in Bohol's westernmost town where 67 barangays are evenly spread in beautiful plateaus, lofty mountains and two karst islands.

Named after a crystal-clear spring that gushes from the bosom of the earth, Loon is blessed with plenty of natural resources and built heritage complemented by warm-hearted people whose folkways and beliefs have been nurtured by family and religion.
      
Built heritage

Loon is almost always associated with its imposing church. Completed in 1855, the church of the Nuestra Señora de la Luz, more popularly known as Birhen sa Kasilak, is considered the "Crowning Glory of Recollect Architecture" and "Queen of All Heritage Churches in Bohol".

The extremely elegant Baroque facade of this biggest church edifice in the Visayas is highlighted by delicate bas relief carving nowhere found in the province.

Visitors are awed by the Corinthian columns and fine details of the lace-like capitals on the façade and the main altar.

The painted ceiling of the interior, done by Reynante Francia in the 1930s, complements the turn-of-the-century tiles on the floor, while the faux dome depicts popular saints venerated by Catholics.

Serving as main gate of the fortress-like church is a four-column platform called Hugosan. It is the venue of the annual Easter Sunday rites observed by the local Catholic population.

Behind the huge church is Inang-angan, a grand stairway of four flights and 174 steps made of coral stone blocks.  It leads down to the coastal village of Napo, Loon's original settlement. This grand structure was constructed between 1847 and 1849 to improve contact with the present sawang or town center.  

A fifth flight of 38 steps leads to the convent, now Sacred Heart Academy. The promenade concludes in the old wharf popularly called Tulay where a visitor gets a majestic view of the sea, the mangrove clumps on white sand, and the mountains of Loon and Cebu.

Directly facing the church is a hexagonal two-storey stone structure made of coral stone blocks or tinableya put together by a mixture of sand, lime and water.  In olden times, mass was not celebrated for the remains of the dead.  Instead, they were brought to this mortuary chapel for final blessing before they were buried at the foot of the hills of Cogon Sur where the ruins of a Spanish colonial cemetery still exist.  

The circular layout of the burial place is unique in Bohol. The stone walls called kuta are also made of coral. The internal layout of its small chapel, which has six burial chambers, is cruciform with a transept or pair of arms across the nave.  

A stone bridge in Sombria near the municipal hall has been identified by the Sites and Monuments Division of the Bohol Arts and Cultural Heritage (BACH) Council as one of the most imposing and having the highest elevation among colonial bridges in the province.  

The public plaza serves as the centerpiece of the town. Completed in 1929, it features an impressive monument dedicated to the national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal. Of particular interest is a miniature Statue of Liberty atop the monument attesting to the era it was constructed.

Another highlight of the public park is a big fountain that features four caryatids forming a column that supports a disk. Evenly spaced on the rim of this circular platform are four gargoyles that serve as water spouts.  Figures of two women, one carrying an urn and the other drinking water from her scooped hand, complete the whole structure.  

Monumental art

The town is also a haven of visual artists one of whom is the late painter and sculptor Zosimo P. Relampagos. A master of huge art pieces, he created the monument of the risen Christ standing on a three-sided column at the center of an ornate and multi-layered circular base.  

Another masterpiece of his is a replica of the grotto in Lourdes, France where Mary appeared to a girl named Bernadette. It is a favorite backdrop for the annual reenactment of the Last Supper and many other photo opportunities.  

In Barangay Cabug one finds the Big Cross, a pilgrimage site that offers a majestic view of Cebu Strait. A road leading to the place features replicas of the 14 Stations of the Cross.

Historical sites

The abundant source of spring water found north of Napo after which the town is named is also located below the municipal hall. This spring and the nearby fish ponds and mangrove areas are frequented by quite a large number of birds.  

Farther north a river and a bluff overlooking the wide expanse of mangrove are mute witnesses to the most successful ambush staged by the Boholano guerillas led by Capt. Francisco Salazar against the Japanese aggressors during the Second World War.  

On this site the local government unit commemorates the Battle of Moalong River every year and hopes to develop a Philippines-Japan Friendship and Peace Park.  

A few kilometers upstream is Barangay Cantaongon, a major supply camp of the guerrillas, where Salazar captivated the locals with his agility astride a galloping horse.

Most heritage houses in Loon have been replaced many years before heritage conservation became an advocacy. Being a premier town of adventurers and professionals, Loon experienced economic progress earlier than most other towns. As a result, a construction boom ensued that required tearing down the old houses built of wood.

One family, however, has withstood the temptation to let go of their ancestral abode. The children of Pio B. Ferandos, former Loon mayor and Cebu RTC judge, have retained the town's finest example of a chalet built during the American period.

This white-painted house located opposite the big acacia tree on the churchyard allegedly served as residence and office of the Japanese during the war.

Nature's bounty

The Loonanons have been known as the most itinerant among Boholanos, engaging in the retail business in Samar, Leyte, Negros, Palawan, Siquijor and most provinces in Mindanao. On the other hand many of those who graduate from its seven high schools opt to go to college and practice their professions elsewhere. These cultural aspects are compounded by the rugged topography that deters large-scale agriculture from doing well. As a result, much of what Mother Nature has blessed Loon with has retained its pristine state.  

Around the island of Cabilao divers are drawn to the hammerhead shark, coral gardens, and pygmy seahorses. A tourist can swim, dive, snorkel, take underwater photographs, jet-ski or fish.  

The island has two enclosed bodies of water. The bigger one, Cabilao Island Lake, is frequented by migratory birds and fringed with trees growing below slopes of solid rock marked with fossils of marine organisms.  The other one, called Green Footprint Lagoon, has a lakebed where the seaweed latu (Caulerpa sp.) grows in abundance. The lagoon is also home to a species of red shrimp.  

Marine protected areas also abound. Those in Basdacu and Cabacungan are frequented by divers because of its rich flora and fauna. Suggested activities at the buffer zones of these MPAs include swimming, diving, snorkeling, underwater photography, hook-and-line fishing, and gleaning for seaweeds and shellfish.

The white beaches on the mainland, the Rock Island Cove on Sandingan, and the sand bars of Cabilao are attracting picnickers from nearby municipalities.

During high tide, the interlinked passageways on Tajang Pass seem to separate the mangrove thickets into small islands. The mangrove gardens that line the coastal villages of Cantomucad and Pondol are inhabited by macaque monkeys.

The Moalong River serves as the main catchment for the water coming from all springs, streams and waterfalls of Loon's uplands. The watershed to which the river belongs is also a habitat of diverse species of plants and animals that include endemic birds, mamag (tarsier), kagwang (a lemur-like species), and tinggawong (bearcat).

Caves of karst origin are found almost everywhere. In the village of Cantam-is Baslay alone, a spelunker can explore at least 30 caves.  These subterranean niches are home to thousands of bats and nocturnal birds.

The mountains of Canmanoc and Tan-awan are prominent landmarks that offer a commanding view of the sea, town center and neighboring mountains.  They are also ideal venues for trekking and mountain biking.

Water flows from the fringes of the hidden valley of Danicop in Barangay Ticugan where there are lagoons and a diving platform of solid rock. The raging waters that soothe a trekker's aching back must have gouged the softer parts of the rocky cliff above the riverbank and created huge pockmark-like holes on it.

The Pi-ong Falls situated between Nagtuang and Canmaag drops like a bride's veil onto a lagoon. Nearby the Kabantian Falls found between Nagtuang and Bongco seems like a water stairway as it drops six times before reaching a pool of water.  

Festival of Lights

Every September 8, Loon celebrates its annual fiesta in honor of its patroness, the Birhen sa Kasilak. The ten-day celebration is highlighted by nightly cultural activities the most awaited of which is the culmination of SidlaKasilak, the town’s festival of lights.

Two days before the fiesta, the image of the Kasilak is brought to Napo via a fluvial procession that starts in Sandingan Island. Kasilak devotees, with parol on hand, meet the entourage in Napo and the whole congregation ascend the Inang-angan creating a magical scene of dancing lights in mesmerizing colors.  

At the church plaza, hand-held lanterns of varied colors gracefully float in the dark as the Loonanons pay homage to the Kasilak through a dance of lights offered to the Lady.  

Sleeping giant no more

As Loon braces for the opening in 2010 of the country's first and only international cruise ship port at Catagbacan wharf, the LGU, with Mayor Lloyd Peter M. Lopez, MD at the helm, initiated the drafting of a municipal tourism master plan, now for implementation.

People’s organizations like the Cabilao Romblon Weavers Network (CROWN) and Pundok nga Nag-ugmad sa Kabiling Loonanon (PABILO) have been strengthened to become frontliners of a craft village within a tourism zone and as interpreters and service providers of a heritage walk tour package, respectively.  

To be established very soon is a center of Loonanon craftsmanship at the public market where all products made locally are displayed and sold.  Now in full operation is the Center for Developments in Culture, Heritage and the Arts (CHARTS), a venue for the training of artists and for research on and promotion of Loonanon heritage.  

Realizing that some tourists have the habit of exploring local stores, the LGU is currently renovating the public market. It also identified parking spaces for vehicles to promote order and smooth flow of traffic.

To increase food production in response to the need of the tourism sector, the LGU established plant nurseries in strategic barangays to enhance access to planting materials of crops and ornamental plants. It also organized the farmers and sustained a farmer-scientists training program and a fertilizer subsidy scheme.

Meanwhile, coastal law enforcement has been intensified to protect the town's marine biodiversity. The enforcement of the user's fee ordinance has been sustained in the diving areas around Cabilao.

Launched last year is Buhay Dagat, a project that aims to train qualified members of fishing households in sustaining their marine protected areas where they can charge fees for diving and snorkeling.

Meanwhile, necessary legislative support has been provided by the Sangguniang Bayan especially as regards protecting the marine and terrestrial resources of Loon for its communities to manage in a sustainable manner through tourism-based livelihood projects and activities.
 
Bohol's sleeping giant as regards tourism potential has indeed opened its eyes, albeit gradually, to face the challenges and opportunities that the tourism industry offers now and in the future.

      The image of the “Birhen sa Kasilak”, patroness of the entire island of Mindanao, was reported to have been originally enthroned in a church in Butuan, Agusan del Norte on September 8, 1597.  When the bandits of the southern seas (i.e., Magindanao, Balangingi, Iranon or Illanon, and Laut) attacked the coastal villages of Mindanao, concerned Butuanons sailed north towards Bohol bringing with them the wooden statue of Our Lady.

      Unfortunately, the attackers were also wreaking havoc on some communities on the island.  The group was determined to sail towards Cebu but, caught in a storm, the Marian devotees opted to sail towards the western rim of Bohol, dropping anchor in Sandingan, a tranquil island near mainland Loon.

      Upon knowing that a well-established community existed in Napo, the group led by Rev. Fr. Pedro Lopez, SJ brought the image to the latter where it was warmly received and enthroned.  This allegedly happened in 1610.  For several years, the Birhen sa Kasilak was venerated by the Loonanon faithful in this old poblacion.

      In 1753, Fray Manuel de Elizalde of the Jesuit Mission became the first parish priest of the Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Luz (Our Lady of Light).  In 1768, the Jesuits ceded administration of the parish to the Recollects.  The image of the Kasilak has since been permanently enthroned in the present church of Loon which was completed in 1855.

      The first miracle attributed to the Kasilak happened in the 18th century when a band of pirates sailed towards Napo to loot its houses of valuables.  Our Lady allegedly appeared atop the steps of Inang-angan (4-flight stairway of 174 steps, made of coral-stone blocks or tinableya) in her most radiant glory.  The blinding lights radiating from her forced the intruders to sail away.  Since then, countless untold miracles have been experienced by the Loonanon faithful.

      Today, SidlaKasilak, Loon’s Festival of Lights, brings back the memory of those days when Our Lady journeyed to Loon from Mindanao. Every year, a symbolic reenactment is staged on September 6 to commemorate the arrival of her image from Butuan via Sandingan.

      The “Birhen sa Kasilak” exhorts all of us to seek the True Light, Jesus Christ, especially in these times when selfishness, corruption, indifference and deceit seem to eclipse the real essence of life and living.  She also encourages everyone to pass on this Light to all families and communities so that all will live in unity in a much better and enlightened world.

No offense sa mga taga Bohol, I am really looking forward of seeing that place.Ray and Koddi, unsa man na casual place lang? kay di ko ganahan ug dagko nga resorts nga pormal na kaayo.

Camotes has its own rustic charm. But it's much much smaller compared to Bohol. Dili nato ma compare ang duha kay lahi na man ang level sa tourism sa Bohol. Camotes actually has two islands. One is the island town of Pilar which is nearer Ormoc. The bigger one has 3 towns: Tudela, San Francisco and Poro. Daghan pud Bol-anon niining dapita.

Camotes is beautiful. I have been there several times.

Maayo unta nga ibalik ang BSAT aron daghang nga kabataan nga makaenroll sa high school with the basic trade courses.

Sukad nahimo nga CVSCAFT, gamay na lang kaayo naka enroll sa high kay limited ang enrolment. Dili pareha sa among panahon in the early 1960 nga way limit. BSAT is accessible especially to all the poor students.

Basta gani ang usa ka public school mahimo na nga state college or state university, ang high school department mahimo na lang nga laboratory high school alang sa Education students in college. Ma-city man o ma-rural area, mao jud ni ang mahitabo kay mandated man, sugo sa balaod. So, tungod sa kadaghan nga buot mopa-enrol sa high school sa state college or university, mandated pud nga aduna gyuy entrance/scholarship exam. It will never happen nga mas daghan ang maka enrol sa high school sa CVSCAFT Tagbilaran kon ma state university na kini. In some state colleges tag-25 ra man gani ka estudyante ang dawaton para first year high school. Usually tag-100 ra jud like the state universities that were patterned after the land grant colleges in the U.S.       

1. Binagow - steamed grated cassava; plain, with brown sugar, or with brown sugar and strips of young coconut

About the author:

Cebu-based Boboi Costas is a Department of Tourism's Kalakbay Award recipient as best travel writer. His family owns the Santiago Bay Garden Resort in Camotes Island (I think it has a website). About two years ago I became his tour guide in Bohol as he was tracing his Coquilla roots which are in either Antequera, Maribojoc or Loon. The latter is the most probable origin. His great great grandfather who was on his way to Eastern Samar to join his relatives as ambulant vendors was waylaid and allegedly persuaded to proceed instead to Camotes. He brought with him an image of the Birhen sa Kasilak, Loon's patroness, which he enthroned in a chapel he made for her and is still venerated today in Boboi's barangay in Camotes. The Birhen sa Kasilak is not venerated elsewhere in Bohol. Currently Eastern Samar's lone district Cogressman is a Coquilla from Loon. Bol-anon pud diay ni si Boboi. By the way, Boboi's search for his great great grandfather's name on the pages of Loon's baptistry records yielded eleven names that matched.  

Very well made. I love it. That old guy who plays the other main character is Junix Inocian. His credentials, especially as regards appearances in foreign videos and films, are quite impressive. He is Bisaya, from Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental.   

Duga sa ahos, gitambal sa ap-ap sa nawong.

Mr. Koddi, so you're an analyst by profession and a drink afficionado in the side eh? hehe, very classy.

Maayo unta, pero dili man tawon Dong Lorenz, uy. My undergrad is Agriculture major in Plant Protection (with Entomology as specialization). My grad course is Media Management and a diploma in Journalism. Unya migraduate pud ko og Law, wala lang mo bar kay di pa ko ready. In between, I took up short-term courses. Pero karon I work with the government, jack of all trades, master of many things, he he, sa diri ra pud nga level.

Kanang pagka analyst, Dong Lorenz, we all are; although sa mga damgo, pwede ko, he he he. Kon moingon ka'g drink afficionado, wala pud ko ana kay gamay ra man kog choices tungod sa akong ka kabus. Pero hubganay hinoon hangtud mabuntagan ug magsuka na, kana hinoon, nakaagi ko ana sa makadaghan. 

Nasulod na.

Pamahaw: Wala. Nag oversleep kay 4:30 AM na natulog ganiha after nagTB. Nagsalig kay National Heroes Day karon.

Paniudto: Instant noodles, gisabwan og daghan kay gisubakan og beef strips ug gisagolan og pechay; usa ka buok buwad potpot (salin sa ilang pamahaw)

Panihapon: Inun-onang mulmul

Mabuhi kaayo ang soybeans sa atua kay mas moangay ni sila ug warm climate.(sagdi ra ug makauli ko magdala ko ug liso i sneak in nato kay bawal raba)Mas taas ang yield sa soybeans ug warm ang climate. Nag produce sad mi ug soybeans diri unya mao ni among i import sa japan.

Ang American Soybean Association baya ang nakapatay sa atong coconut industry in the 1990s ug 1990s. Diha silay official statement nga makadaot kuno ang tropical palm oil (referring to copra oil), mao to nga mihinay ang pag-import sa ubang coutries sa atong copra oil. Karon mimahal na pud ang copra tungod sa Virgin Coconut Oil.

hahaha Sige lang bisan di na kinahanglan, i will bake you cakes when we get there.  ikaw pa'y pili sa flavor!

You won't have time for that when you're in Bohol after staying there for so long. There are so many things to do here for a balikbayan, and baking cakes should not be one of them. Manginhas pa gud ka sa Manga. Moadto pa ka sa Canigao Island. Mag suisliding pa ka sa Danao. Ug daghan pa.

Oryza sativa, by the way, is the scientific name of rice.

We have a new TV commercial here that shows Manny Pacquiao ordering from a menu list and he chose fried upland legume seeds. Ug nakurat silang tanan nga kainuman niya kay usa ka platitong mani ra man diay ang ilang order. Nahitabo ni nako sa mao pay pag introduce diri sa French fries in the early '80s nga mi order kog French fries kay abi man nako og susama ra na sa fried chicken, fried fish, etc. Pag pangutana sa waitress kon unsa pay akong order, confident kaayo kong mitubag nga, "Siyempre, kan-on!" Ug tuod man, gihatagan jud hinoon ko og kan-on ug patatas. Ha ha ha!

Naklaro na ang mga crispy pata kay nakapanungkab na man ko og bahaw nga gibahugan og sabaw sa Pinoy beefsteak. Ala-una:13 na diri sa kaadlawon.

Nearby are Sandingan, Cabilao and Pangangan Islands that protect the port from strong winds and waves. These islands have potentials for tourism. Presently they have a good number of resorts and dive centers.  Cabilao, especially, is a very beautiful island.

Gisugdan na ang civil works sa port. Matinuod na jud ni. I don't know kon nasugdan na ba ang Panglao airport. Ang Bohol-Cebu bridge nag survey pa. Kining cruise ship port maoy kinauwahian nga gi propose sa tulo, pero maoy nauna og sugod sa actual nga pagtrabaho. Tingali kay maoy kinabaratohan, dali ra magahinan og pondo. Ang sa uban, ga compute pa tingali sa ma kickback, he he he.

Aguuuuy, abi nako'g mga French bread! Gigutom na man gud ko. Naglain na ning akong panan-aw.

kung di madayon ang Panglao Int'l Airport, i propose nga adto ibutang ang Bohol State University....ujon?

Dili. Kulang gihapon sa space. Mas daku og gasto kay magsugod pa man og tukod sa mga facilities. Mo increase ang traffic sa hagip-ot nga kalsada. Another, kon way kwarta ang mga estudyante, tingalig mamaligyag karne sa mga resorts. This is possible.

Tan-aw nimo Bay Kods commercially viable ang production sa soya beans sa atoa? Mabuhi ba ni sa atong soil?

Okay man ang soybean diri sa RP. Pareha ra man na og management requirement sa munggos. I think it is grown in large farms somewhere because there are local producers of soya-based beverages like Nesvita.

ah ngiga ug Snacks 2 nimo Sir Kods - maglaway man pod ta whoa !

Lami kaayo ang linugaw using the regular rice mixed with sticky rice. Lawut kaayo! Order to nako sa akong working student nga graduate na unya dia miuli kay mitabang pagpanglimpyo sa balay. Wa gyuy nasalin kay gilamian ang tanan. Naglaway pa man gani ko nga naghinumdum. 

Naay tofu or tokwa baligya sa ICM ra. Di ko tigpalit kay lagom unya mahal. It must be imported from Manila or abroad. Ang akong nahibaw-an, naay tighimo og taho sa Cebu. Wa koy nahibaw-an kon naa bay tig-tokwa didto,although some restaurants in Cebu, including ChowKing, have tofu in their menus. 

Pamahaw: Natulog pa
Paniudto: ngo hiong, linat-ang baka with pechay
Snacks 1: mamon ug honeymansi
Snacks 2: linugaw bugas with pilit, giparesan og buwad nga mulmul
Panihapon: beefsteak Pinoy style, buwad potpot
Midnight panungkab kay gaTB pa: bahaw gibahogan og sabaw sa Pinoy beefsteak

Okay friends, here is a recent dream;  I dream of my boss in green with one sleeve longer than the other. In reality he suffered a mild stroke and he is in the hospital, hope he will recuperate soon.

A mutual dissatisfaction will occur between husband and wife. It could refer to either the dreamer or his dream's subject.

tai means money Koddi.  It is some financial welcome. Barko is a trip or you are on a decision point.

Yes, dreaming of "tae" is a good omen. Much good, not just money, will occur following the dream. Material possessions will increase.

Dreaming of a ship means that the dreamer will reap unexpected honor. Molambo pud ang iyang estado sa kinabuhi.   

Sinuka siguro na sa Amerikano nga gipugos sa iyang Pilipina nga asawa og patilaw og atis!

A'ang-a'ang nga kaming mga lalaki nagpa sinsilyo man og tag singko sentabos aron kadaghan makabayle niya. Di man tan-awon kon pilay isulod. Basta sudlan ang alkansiya, pulihan gyud dayon ang mibayle sa gwapa. Pastilan ang gwapa, nabiktima sa "gakus for a cause".

I had a roommate in college who graduated cum laude sa Statistics. Taga Albur. Kina pobrehan jud. Nalipay ko nga naka graduate na sija kay makatabang na man sa iyang pamilya. He reported for an interview to a research center director nga, at that time of the interview, busy og basa then tan-aw sa computer, etc. So he just told the applicant, "Now tell me about yourself", without looking at him in the eye.

Ug tungod sa iyang ka eager nga makatrabaho, nagpaka-paka og tubag ang applicant (read pinaspas): "I am Aldiano Nograles, Sir. Eldest in a family of eight. My father is a farmer and my mother is a plain housewife. We are very poor, Sir. In fact, most of my brothers and sisters are out of school. If not for my college ful scholarship I would not have finished a degree in Statistics. It is my fervent wish that I be taken in by your prestigious research center because I really have to work hard now to support my parents and the other members of my family because I am their only hope."

Sa kahikurat ug pagka amuse sa center director, he told the applicant, especially nga wala niya maklaro ang iyang ngalan, "Taym pa, taym pa. Kapaspas gud nimo. Hinay-hinay lang gud. Ayawg kulba-kulba diha. Sige . . . you are . . . ?"    

"The only hope, Sir!", maoy tubag sa applicant.

And the rest is history. Na-employ gyud siya.

Sad to know lang nga na-convert siya sa religion sa iyang boss og nag full-time pagka pastor, ug wala gyud siya makatabang sa iyang mga ginikanan ug mga igsoon.  

Nganong naa may mga Koreans sa likod? Diin man ni?

Sakto jud si Dong Renz: 1) academic preparation, 2) personal qualifications and work ethics, and, above all 3) Divine Providence  

I was lucky I did not have to go through the application process. I was hired by the president of my school as his research assistant even before I graduated.  In later years, when I applied in foreign-funded projects, practical knowledge worked for me. I was recommended in most of my more recent work engagements mainly because of my work ethics.

Shortly after I graduated from college, many companies required their job applicants to have graduated from either my alma mater or UP in Los Baños only. Disqualified na ang uban. Karon wala na ko makadungog nga ingon niini. This shows nga naa puy influence ang ngalan sa eskwelahan.
