AN LUBI : Samar-Leyte Folk Song

In my opinion, the 800 million Pesos can be better used to allow the recruitment and hiring of more nurses and doctors in the severely undermanned hospitals in the Philippines. Instead of buying condoms, they should buy soaps, tissue papers, and hire janitors that can efficiently clean the government hospitals in the Philippines.

When I was in Bohol, I visited a government hospital and even the private owned hospitals. The conditions of the bathrooms are disgusting.

And as a medical intern, i had complained to the attending doctors of this situation. There was no soap, nothing, besides water that filled to the brim. This is the setting of a medical catastrophe and the spread of MRSA , and VRSA (methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus; vancomycin ressistant staphylococcus aureus). I visted Gallares, Ramiro and Tagbilaran Community.

A hospital that has no good cleaning facility, here in the United States, would be closed immediately for fear of transmitting disease.

It is unbelievable; the medical situation in the Philippines!

Perhaps he is in Dimiao. And enjoying the dimiaonon-style ginamos nga lami iparis sa kamote.

I must say, to share, that I left the Philippines when I was 4 turning 5 (just about). I was raised in the United States, assimilated completely, yet, the only string that attached me to the Philippines (Bohol, in particular) were my parents and my aunt and uncle. I was raised to speak Binisaya when I was at home or when amongst Filipinos (not so much Tagalog for I had no purpose of tagalog. I am not a tagalog to begin with, but a Visayan).

But I always, in my heart, even when amongst my American friends and buddies, wanted to share more about my roots. To discover it.

Visiting the Philippines this year in 2010 was life changing. It really did change my outlook on life, on the world. In fact, my joining Tubag Bohol Dot Com in the summer of 2007 was because i was interested about Bohol. This forum allowed me to absorb bisaya-style balaks (which were foreign to me). The poems of Michael Ligalig, for example, were the basis in my amateur attempt in binisaya poems. So it started here. And it progressed, until my eventual visit in 2010.

I think God made it that i was to visit only after my Medical Boards. And in the height of my medical studies. For only in seeing the medical situation in the Philippines and to see with my own eyes the level of destitution in some parts of Bohol, Cebu and parts of Leyte, did I see what being 'poor' really is. Uncompared to the American description of 'poor', this was beyond.

I would like to, someday God-Willing, to open a medical hospital in the Philippines.
This is a long-term enterprise that I realized that was calling within me when i touched down in Leyte.
And further strengthned when I returned to Bohol prior to my departure for the United States in August 2010.


Again, by HIS Grace....for everything accords itself according to HIS time, HIS Will..

Julius, there is no describing the feeling of finding one's identity. The history of it all concerning.

Here I was traveling back to Bohol , Philippines for the first time in 12 years. And this trip was a much-needed one after taking my United States Medical Licensing Examinations (USMLE). The goal of the trip to the Philippines was to visit my family in Bohol (my mother's side and also my father's immediate family). Traveling around Bohol by myself and driving from my beloved Valencia to Jagna, Garcia Hernandez, Guindulman, Ubay, Loon etc, I was able to witness the landscape of the island and meet the people. Why i even experienced my first 'Sabong Derby' in Maribojoc (which i stayed for 12 hours. My uncle, Dr. Renee Lucino, was the guest of honor and brought with him 3 of our family's fighting cocks--which we won 2 out of 3 fights; not bad).

Traveling around Cebu and Bohol opened an idea within me. 'Why not visit Leyte?'

So at this thought, I followed through, which I usually do (considering my personality of planning things out and regimentally following through.  with the plan). While I was in Bohol, I contacted my father and mother (both in the 'states) as well as my aunt and uncle (both of in the united states) and told them of my recent epiphane. TO VISIT LEYTE. They were all escstatic at it, my father and aunt especially considering they grew up with relatives from Leyte. In fact, my late grandfather, anhing Mr. Rustico Aray Lucino, who was from Panaon Island, Southern Leyte, would do business all over Leyte, Samar, Negros, Cebu, Bohol, Mindanao. And he used to bring my father with him along (many of the stories were relayed to me when i was in Leyte by way of my grand-uncle, my aunts, extended cousins and distant relatives (yet all who knew of me). lol.
The plan was organized and the trip consisted of myself, my auntie wella, uncle ray, uncle roger, cousin jing, and our house helper, aurora. We took with us our Isuzu Crosswind.

Our journey to Leyte started in the wee mornings and drove from Tagbilaran to Ubay. From Ubay we borded a barge (which also brought my Isuzu Crosswind)  that took us to Maasin, Southern Leyte. When we arrived in Maasin, Southern Leyte we had to take a little detour. It was noticed that our left rear tire needed changing, so we made the necessity plans to replace all the tires there.

I remember the man who was some sort of manager of the enterprise. We both talked and he asked about where we were from. Bohol. I told him. However I told him that i was here to visit my Leyte as well. Its always interesting to see the reaction of people when I switch from speaking in Americanized-style English to fluent Binisaya. His facial reaction was priceless. "Kahibalo diay ka binisaya?", and I responded with the assertive, "Kai bao gud!". We laughed and exchanged familiar stories. I shared with him the story of how my grandfather, Papa Titing, left Pintuyan on a banka (he was a stow-away, luoy kaay..) when he was only 8 years old. He survived and worked as an aide in Cebu, then started a business (due to his strong business practices and efficiency in networking) which blossomed. I told him how he then moved to Bohol with my Mama Luz (my grandmother, who was also from Padre Burgos, Leyte).

This man, whom I've never met before responded in such a way that made me want to cry. I had to hold back my tears for I was laughing with him (i was so happy just to be in Leyte. This was my first time in my island. and he was the first Leyteno in Leyte that i had talked to face to face in my life). He said to me, "Na pasalamat gyud ka naka balik ka dinhi sa Leyte. Leyteno man diay pood ka dong! Ahong ngalan ay...." He extended his hand for a handshake. I gave mine back. Firm. Memorable. His eyes were light brown, his shirt covered in mechanical grease, and his smile was resilient and beautiful. His face is forever imprinted in my mind. A hospitable man, religious man, and a welcoming one. A True Leyteno, indeed.

We then drove from Maasin and passed Bato, Sugod, and a plethora of other barangays and towns. Until we made it way to my grandmother's hometown of Padre Burgos. A quiet yet productive town.

There I was greeted by my extended paternal side (my father's mother's side). Over 30 of them. Many of the little children when seeing me came to give me the amen-bless. To my surprise! These were my younger cousins, all of whom had the resemblance of my Mama Luz's face. Ebuenga and Torrerro beauty. Leyteno beauty. I then was introduced to my aging Lolo Nono (my late grandmother's younger brother; to whom he shared the same smile as my mama luz). I was reduced to tears in seeing him. I felt that I was seeing the face of my mama luz (who passed away in 1995). He came to me , nay, he ran to me. He took his two hands and brushed my face, my beard multiple times and said, "Rico kaayo!Rico kaayo!" we were both laughing. Apparently , as he would tell me, i reminded him of my father when he was my age. When my father came back from Saudi (he worked there as a civil engineer) when he came to visit them in Leyte he also had a beard just like mine. Katawa jud ko. Being introduced to family, friends, distant relatives at that so short time was very shocking, warming, and heartfelt. I really felt like being in this situation was akin to Jesus CHrist's parable of the Prodigal Son.

I felt that I was the prodigal son, who was lost, but was found again. And the Father in this case was my family from Leyte. There was so much food , so much nokos, fish, kinilaw, lechon, pancit etc.

I don't even know how they knew that I was coming to visit them, since we only gave them a day's notice that we would 'maybe' be visiting. I guess word spread like wildfire. LOL!!

Leyte is so Beautiful. So Beautiful. I cannot believe that I did not visit this wonderful island before. I felt really at home there.

The sun rose on fields
snow blown and misted
ghostly swirls and dervishes.
No fog this---
for fog simply lies.
No---this was living
as it arched and twisted,
fingering out to the road
and reaching for me
like the shade of a beloved friend.
There was white inside,
trying to seep out of pores,
I felt it strain
trying to mesh and meld
with this sentient wraith
fingers touching
joining
and suddenly
I am the morning mist
dancing in the crystal air.

hmmm, for those who are already totally bald, i don't think aromatherapy can be of help.

surgical implants of hair follicles can, however, prove more effective.

Tawa-tawa in conjunction with medical treatment can be beneficial.

Being the explorer that I am, I requested to my Uncle Ray to make stops along the road on our drive around Leyte. The reasons for this was so that I could take pictures of the towns in Leyte. The town names in Leyte have unique and distinct names, per se: Sugod, Bato, Maasin, Palompon etc.

Our house helper who accompanied me during my tours around the different markets in Leyte, would tell me later that alot of people asked her if I was 'Arabo' lol. The reason for this, apparently, was because I was speaking in English and because of the beard that I had. Hilarious.

Can not a fellow Leyteno-Bolanon have a beard? lol. I found it funny and shared it with my extended family in Padre Burgos. My lolo nono's response was, "dong, bungoton man ka , pariho sa imohang papa rico!" palamuut kaayo si lolo nono. At his age, to see him active , laughing so hard at our jokes and exchanges of stories, i could not help but cry from time to time. But these were not tears of sadness, but rather, extreme joy.

Lolo nono's accent (which carried the sorsogon accent; my father's maternal grandfather was originally from Sorsogon and settled in Leyte; my great grandfather in my paternal side) was a cross between leyteno and sorsogonon. He inherited the sorsogonon accent from his father (my great-grandfather) as he spoke to his children in both sorsogonon and bisaya).

Lolo nono would later share with me some memorable stories involving my paternal grandparents: the anhing Mama Luz and anhing Papa Titing. I was reduced to tears at the stories. All joyous and involving their many adventures together with their children.

It was at that moment that I realized that I was not only Bolanon, no, as being Bolanon only constituted 50% of my identity. But, there was another side of me that was undiscovered, uncharted, so to say, which was my Leyteno side. It was only after visiting my lolo nono that I even found out that my great-grandfather, the late Mr. Teodolo Ebuenga, who was the school master (principal) of Padre Burgos High School, was originally from Sorsogon, Luzon. He was transferred to Leyte for a teaching job and there met my great-grandmother, the late Mrs. Hermogena Torrero Ebuenga (who was also a school-teacher). So i find out that besides having roots to Valencia, Bohol ( my mother's home town), I also have roots to Leyte and Sorsogon.

Isn't it amazing how much you discover when you visit family, and new lands?

Buwad, Ginamos, and more. A view of the local fish market in Bato, Southern Leyte.
The entire time i was being followed by women who were convinced that I would buy everything they had, lol.






Ginamos! 

One thing that I appreciate about Leyte are its almost virgin-like landscape. The provinces of Leyte and Southern Leyte are rich in natural resources, much like Bohol in many ways, and developing rapidly.

The people of Leyte are very kind, hospitable, and industrious sea-folk. It was beautiful to wake up in the morning to the sound of roosters' call, and then walking to the banks of the sea to see the fishermen coming back from their night trips on their fishing boats and bankas. Most notable in Leyte's waters are its squid / giant squid catches. Most excellent when eaten in 'Leyteno-style kinilaw'.

Leytenos have a different way of preparing kinilaw to that seen in Bohol. My father's family (who are originally based in Padre Burgos, Leyte; and i still do have relatives that are in padre burgos, panaon, tacloban, samar) prepared nokos and tuna rather uniquely. Instead of using suka/vinegar, they used green mangoes diced and mingled it with coconut juice. The acidity and low pH of the green mangoes substituted as vinegar , however, added a very different taste to the meat, which, when mingled with coconut juice (fresh as can be!) was an effervescent taste that coalesced in one's mouth. It was wonderful, indeed. The kinilaw in Leyte is rather different to the ones I tried in Bohol and Cebu. It is more similar to the ones prepared in Iloilo.

The humay in Leyte are also wonderful. The island's rich green rice land dotted the entire landscape, in fact, seeing rural Leyte (main and southern) allowed me to appreciate the true beauty of Eastern Visayas.

'twas an experience of a lifetime, and the beginning of future visitations and expeditions to Leyte and its many towns and cities. Next time, I plan on crossing onto Samar and visit some of my relatives there. I do have relatives that are Waray-Waray.

Pohon. Maluuy ang Ginoo..pohon.

The cold winter weather sucks. How I wish i was back in the warm weather.


lol

Our condolences to the bereaved family. May God comfort them during this difficult and trying time, most importantly, may God allow justice to be properly served for this heinous crime.

Happy Birthday Jenneth! God Bless you and your entire family.

Gods and Generals


The film centers mostly on the personal and professional life of Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, a brilliant if eccentric Confederate general, from the outbreak of the American Civil War until its halfway point when Jackson is accidentally mortally shot by his own soldiers in May 1863 while commanding the Battle of Chancellorsville. It also follows Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, a Maine college professor who is appointed a Lieutenant Colonel and becomes second-in-command of the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment. The film prominently features the Battles of First Bull Run, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville. The film's original running time clocked in at nearly 6 hours (much like the original running time of the already-produced-sequel "Gettysburg"). The longer version featured the Battle of Antietam, as well as an entire plot following the American actor and future presidential assassin John Wilkes Booth and his colleague Henry Harrison (from the already-mentioned "Gettysburg").

Pagka taasa lang jud ning salidaa...

A most excellent film!

I would also recommend 'Gettysburg', which came out in 1993. Martin Sheen's performance of Gen. Robert E. Lee was stunning.
The hairs on my back rose when Stephen Lang, who played as Maj. General George Pickett, responded to Gen. Lee's question of, "General, tend to your division and reform, where is your division?" with, "General Lee, what division?" (in reference to the infamous Pickett's Charge where Gen. Pickett's division was ordered to storm across the field, resulting in the Confederate Division's total annihilation)

It was a glorious film! Glorious..

Agreed on the latter point.

Not to mention Filipinos have better mastery of the English Language than Indians. It is hard to understand Indians with their accent and I believe that Filipinos have a more softer tonation of English. Good Job Pilipinas!

-R. Frost



All out of doors looked darkly in at him
Through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
That gathers on the pane in empty rooms.
What kept his eyes from giving back the gaze
Was the lamp tilted near them in his hand.
What kept him from remembering what it was
That brought him to that creaking room was age.
He stood with barrels round him -- at a loss.
And having scared the cellar under him
In clomping there, he scared it once again
In clomping off; -- and scared the outer night,
Which has its sounds, familiar, like the roar
Of trees and crack of branches, common things,
But nothing so like beating on a box.
A light he was to no one but himself
Where now he sat, concerned with he knew what,
A quiet light, and then not even that.
He consigned to the moon, such as she was,
So late-arising, to the broken moon
As better than the sun in any case
For such a charge, his snow upon the roof,
His icicles along the wall to keep;
And slept. The log that shifted with a jolt
Once in the stove, disturbed him and he shifted,
And eased his heavy breathing, but still slept.
One aged man -- one man -- can't keep a house,
A farm, a countryside, or if he can,
It's thus he does it of a winter night.

It has begun to snow here in Chicago. Lake effect. Being so close to Uptown, Chicago, the lake front is literally 2 blocks down. I hope it doesn't get too 'bad' this winter.

Luckily i was able to purchase some new winter gloves.

Tito Ben,

They say that as one accumulates years, the wiser one gets. We are glad to have you as a friend, colleague, and contributor to our forum. God Willing, we will be able to meet in the future. How sweet it is to have a birthday so close to Christmas Season!

i was only dumped one time. this was during high school. i was annoyed how quickly she moved on from me and will admit that i was quite affected bit. i was jealous. the thought that another man was kissing the woman whom i had given my lips to kiss, and my heart to share, really irked me.

'twas a good life lesson.

Amazing!! Father, do you have these songs on itunes? id like to buy them/download them.

the best part is in slide 18, "but only God keeps you going.."

it goes in line with Matthew 6:33, "man cannot live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD that comes from the mouth of GOD."

beautiful bitaw.

hope to see you bro! to see all of us there and make warm friendly memories with friends and family!

its okay mikey. mag moderation na lang.

the first time i tried ginamos was this summer. I went to the mercado in valencia , and ordered some. my goodness, the ginamos in valencia is so good. the ginamos is so good because its different from other town ginamos bcuz its small. the way they ferment the ginamos in valencia is different. naa jud difference. ive tried the ones in loay, lila, garcia h, jagna and even dimiao. naa jud differensya.

ginamos is so good with rice and fried eggs. especially in the morning. sus!

or when i was in valencia, when i visited anas and manga, i ate ginamos with kamote. sus lami'a.

now i am hungry thinking of ginamos from valencia...

sure ko they will dance. as soon as the cha cha music is played, they get up. ma bibo jud mikey if you come.

hahaha, basta maka testing testing pood ta ug ginamos kai lami iparis ug kamote.

bro, dont worry then i will prescribe you colchicine and allopurinol. 

--

lami'a imong plano bro. that is what i call a very simple yet relaxing plan. ubay is a beautiful town..

haha. if i see other people dancing, mo join ko. if wala jamo, di ko mo join. puahahaha!

lol. at your young age, you are already considering retirement? haha dili pa uy!

the ginamos in ubay is pretty good too.

concerning ginamos, i will only eat ginamos if it is from bohol. and specifically if they are from: Valencia, Tagbilaran (manga fish market has great ones), Ubay.

hahaha! i will also be flying in from Chicago. See you soon man!

good price, btw.

wow! i love the taste of fresh juice from a recently opened lubi. when i was in valencia, i became familiar with the sundang and its use in opening a lubi.

Mikey, when I drove across Bohol, i was amazed at the beauty of Northern Bohol. Especially when i drove through Ubay, Inabanga, Candijay etc. Inabanga and Ubay, in particular, caught my attention. Considering the breadth of their agrarian rice lands!

Great pictures!

haha. it would be great if you could honor us with your line dancing techniques, Mikey! Maybe you can lead the post-eating festival when the people start doing their cha-cha dances and more. 

i do look forward to seeing you there. didn't you say your lola was from Valencia?

Yes. Quite similar. Since we are expecting over 40 families, we have made the arrangements to ensure there is enough space. Linwood is also 5 minutes away from Atlantic City, Ocean City.

You should truly try to make it, Mikey. We have friends coming from Michigan, Florida etc.

this is last year's Fiesta for Senor Santo Nino 2010.
Hosted in North Jersey.

I will be attending the 2011 Fiesta for Senor Santo Nino , which will be hosted by the Lucino-Salvo Family (my family) of Valencia , Bohol. We are expecting the attendance of 40+ Valencianon Families based in the United States. Pictures will be posted. The event will be in Linwood, New Jersey.

Divulge your fond memories of Christmas. Do you have any fond memories of Christmas worth sharing?

What is your wish for this coming Christmas?

Christmas is explained in John 3:16. It's importance is essential in all things. He came down from Heaven , born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified was buried and rose again in Glory. So that all sins may be forgiven. And so that those who believe in Him would not have the wrath of God.

Jesus Christ.

He Is the Reason for the Season.

Hence, Christmas

Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

-Matthew 4:4

Seek ye first the kingdom of God
And His righteousness,
And all these things shall be added unto you.
Hallelu! Hallelujah!

Man shall not live by bread alone,
But by every word
That proceeds from the mouth of God.
Hallelu! hallelujah!

Ask and it shall be given unto you.
Seel and ye shall find.
Knock and the door shall be opened unto you.
Hallelu! hallelujah!

Wonderful, so wonderful
Is your unfailing love
Your cross has spoken mercy over me
No eye has seen no ear has heard
No heart could fully know
How glorious, how beautiful you are.

Beautiful one I love you
Beautiful one I adore
Beautiful one my soul must sing.

Powerful so powerful
Your glory fills the skies
Your mighty works displayed for all to see
The beauty of your majesty
Awakes my heart to see
How marvelous how wonderful you are.

Beautiful one I love you
Beautiful one I adore
Beautiful one my soul must sing.
Beautiful one I love you
Beautiful one I adore
Beautiful one my soul must sing.

You opened my eyes to your wonders anew
You captured my heart with this love
Because nothing on Earth is as beautiful as you
You opened my eyes to your wonders anew
You captured my heart with this love
Because nothing on Earth is as beautiful as you are.

Beautiful one I love you
Beautiful one I adore
Beautiful one my soul must sing.
Beautiful one I love you
Beautiful one I adore
Beautiful one my soul must sing.

And you opened my eyes to your wonders anew
You captured my heart with this love
Because nothing on earth is as beautiful as you are.
