To my TB colleagues, am humbled sa inyong pagdayeg... if not for my quest for re-integration my persona would not have been  demystified (uncovered) ...it has never been my intention to "display the wares" but I am your long lost Boholano brother who made his dream from afar; and now envisages to return to the roots that shaped of what and where I am now....

am glad excited ang mga prospective attendees...it is something to look forward to...

HelloAsianfairy, tua na ko sa Bohol pohon sa first week sa July. Mientras nga wala pa ko mopauli, mamisita sa ko sa imong payag,  Kay inig abot nako pohon perting busyha jud... I have to prepare the ceremonial launching of my business, the debut party of my only niece where this will also serve as a reunion for my family (manguli akong family from the USA and other parts of the world for this) and for our TB Grand EB.

So thank you kay dunay mga higala diri nga maka abi-abi....

Sayang jud tong mga nakauli or makauli nga dili moattend or maka attend...that's the reason why I announced way much ahead ( since January ) aron ma-arrange ang schedule... at any rate we are optimistic that this will be one of the events to watch ...2010 would be a good alternative for the next Grand EB as it's election time aron dili sayang inyong boto...hehehehehe

Asianfairy, nagkasakit sad diay ka?  take a lot of fluid aron mahuwasan (ma drain)... sakto ng init nga sabaw- ayaw lang inom dayon ug bugnaw... take care.

Willmerit welcome back... hope you're fine and recovering... maayo kay namisita sad ka sa mapalasyong payag ni Asianfairy...full of exciting guests permi.  Take care, get well very soon.

Kinahanglan madisplay sad usahay ang best nato... that is why this would be video documented...invited baya ang mga lifestyle writers for the news...plan to commission the services of Bohol Cable TV for this..

Ms da Binsi, kmusta ka na?  Thanks in advance for your words of encouragement... and for your letter / notes of recommendation to be sent to the Labor Attache, Ambassador and Awards Secretariat.

Am certain, a simple hearty testimonial will make a difference...thank you so much ( please convey too to your beloved husband ). magkita ba ta sa Grand EB?

Hello Asianfairy... am so touched of your profound admiration, trust and respect. With our cohesive efforts... we could make that elusive CHANGE a reality.  Let us multiply... be that change.

Nice passage.... playing the mind... feet on the ground...

Bitaw, kon dili man god mosunod sa dress code, ma-out of place unya. so to avoid gi-sulti nalang nako in advance aron makaprepare.

Thank you Bran Lorenz.

Paul (Sigbin), okay ra bisan dili designer barong...basta formal ang dating.

Teng, you're welcome to join.

Sorry po for the typographical error.  The email address should read as: filembry@sbm.net.sa

Bambi, it will a "Night to Remember" bayle / sayaw (ballroom ug disco), kanta..I may ask a response message (representation from TB)...I've invited guest performers in the evening... basta, i-announce ni nako kon duol-duol na; basta dunay dress code.


Gelyan, I would really need your assistance inig abot nako pohon kay naa naman ka dinha. okay ba? My flight is already set on June 30 pohon..

Grazie,  what I meant is the draft after infusing all the comments, then I could prepare the pre-final version.

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen,

Aside from sending your testimonials and/or recommendations to the Labor Attache and Awards Secretariat emails, you may send too to :

The Hon. Antonio P. Villamor
Ambassador
Philippine Embassy in Saudi Arabia
email: fikembry@sbm.net.sa

Thank you.

Grazie,
Would like to infuse my inputs...would you mind sending the "integrated one" in my email add (junayag@jalinternatonal.com.sa).  Will review and enhance... thanks.

Asianfairy, nindot kaayo pagka hanay ang imong pagtuki sa aspect ng " falling in love " and what is love. Toast to that !

Yes... excited na ko mag-tan-aw ninyo nga mag gown.  About the men, it is planned to be coat & tie / tuxedo ( but probably I would permit a long sleeve or short sleeve with a tie ) and/or a formal barong or designer barong tagalog.

I have already bought the glass trophy for the award here in Saudi..ready na. About the jury (board of jurors), I will ask some of my celebrity guests to cast their votes of who will be the "Star Of The Night".

Bran Lorenz, you're welcome...much more, am glad with your achievements, aspirations, outlook in life... wishing you more success too..

Orchids,
Naglaway jud ko naghinomdom sa bibingka nga sagulan ug tuba... lamian gyod ni. I remember sa bata pa ko nga akong Mama magluto man ug mga kakanin " puto, bingka, siopao, balikotsa, suman, dinumugan, shakoy, mariposa, ug uban pa ... mao tawon amo ibaligya tabang tabang sa mga galastuhon...

Pohon kon mouli ka sa Grand EB patilawon ka any of these.. kay mouli man sad akong Mama from the USA... this will be a grand reunion for our family for the other 2 events to coincide with the Grand EB.

Yes, it's really fun!  anything goes basta gown / evening or cocktail dress... to make it like an Award's Night, I will hand / give a throphy (crystal/glass) for the "STAR OF THE NIGHT AWARD", how about it?

Happy, Edelweiss and all, salamat sa inyong suporta ug mga prayers.

Akong nahibaloan dili man sila particular sa English composition, they are more particular on the substance... bisan simple lang (mas maayo ng very understable and down-to-earth pagka estorya kay mas tuhuan ).

I believe that they count more on the sincerity of the testimonials and recommendations rather than the aesthetic value of how it is written.  So, dako akong pasalamat sa inyong pagtoo nga I deserved for such an award.

Hi Asianfairy,
Nalipay ko nga duna na kay panahon karon...na miss jud na ta ka -- sa imong warm reception sa mga tawo dinhi sa TB as manifested in your humble way of entertaining in our exchanges here in the forum... am sorry nga wala pa nato maformalize ang consultative discussion for future interventions...and also your project on charity...when I get home in July pohon for the Grand EB, I will have to find time in seeing to it to attend any queries and to establish a rewarding personal and business relationship...maayong pag-amping...

Happy...ready na ba ang imong gown? hehehe... excited na ko for the Grand EB (on other thread)...

Daghang salamat.

To all beautiful (at heart) men and women in TB... really, it would be my pleasure to meet you during the Grand EB which am organizing...there are 2 more events to happen that would coincide with our EB, that is why I called it a Grand EB...

Believing in the same values and advocacies is enough for me to be on the same club...the great Tubag Bohol...all I wish is that, wea all must be an agent of change.. we must embed that culture of " quality " in everything we do... and without doubt... a positive change will not be a far cry...

The coming grand TB-EB will be an opportunity, a venue to express, share and translate these into concrete plans for our families and communities... am looking forward to that day.

To Asian Fairy, Edelweiss, Bran Lorenz, Happy and all... am so touched with your profound felicitations.. and am glad for having you on the same boat... we can make that elusive change to happen if we are determined to be so...let us join efforts in spreading the values that we believed in...through TB and in all opportunities that may come our way...all the best!

Pohon magkahimamat ra ta sa TB Grand EB sa July 27, 2008.  And this will be a two-day affair.

We will meet for the evening socials and to be followed with a tour of Bohol in the following day...

Thank you Glo and Dong for giving me the opportunity to work together in spreading positive values and advocacies in the organizations we're involved with...

Hi Benellyne,

Glad that you'll definitely be back on July... thought, we'll never get the chance to meet one of the respected names in TB pohon sa Grand EB as you've just returned from Bohol... looking forward to have you again in Bohol this July.

Thank you so much Ginger... I am humbled with all your words of admiration...these would give me more motivations to uphold what is noble and meet your expectations... Daghang Salamat.

Hello Bambi & Marcus.. Wishing you a long lasting togetherness... HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!  All the best...

To All... Daghang salamat sa inyong mainiton nga pagdawat sa maong balita...ug sa inyong umaabot nga suporta... Am always praying nga I would always meet and not fail your expectations...  Thank you.

Happy, Ginger, Bulak, Ms B:, dili lagi mo maglisod ug sayaw sa atong Grand EB kay dili man semento inig bale unya.... sa dance floor ni siya in a resort...could just imagine all your get-up....

Thank you all.... for believing in my values, advocacies... without each one of you ( the people I've encountered, known and relate with ), the essence of "existence" would have been in a different dimension / perspective... YOU all made a part of me...

Thank you Macky (for posting) and all (for your support)...

It has never been my prime goal to be recognized for a service or assistance much more to those who are in need...in congruence to my passion and advocacy that man can experience true fulfillment through selfless contribution...but was convinced after more than 2 decades that the recognition is not for self-gratification but a realization and manifestation coming from people whose lives have been touched... in one way or another... with my time, values, advocacies and so on...

Recently, I significantly got involved in the government's banner program - the Reintegration Program for Filipinos Overseas...Reintegration is not only on economic liberation but also social re-integraton.

It is acknowledged that the most important component of "Re-integration" is about Values... hence, I've developed a course module on Values Orientation and Redirection.  This focused on Self-Empowerment and Emotional Intelligence... discovering oneself.. your potentials and how we relate with the demanding and dynamic environment...  when we know ourselves... we will know how to capitalize our positive values and available resources; learn how to embed quality align with your values, emotions and of others... it is how you prepare yourself for any given situations..." Life does not exist for itself " "  Success is not measured of who you are, what you have but how you brought joy to the people you've encountered"... it requires a skill of developing your own potentials with others... ( more to share on this... )

Thank you for listening in your heart... and hoping that by having touched you this will be translated into a support for my nomination...

Sige.. sa grand EB duna tay SEAL OR REVEAL?  so... lot of surprises!

Thank you Swakee... and thank you for believing on my advocacies as manifested in your warm impression and wishes... may the life story enjoin and touch others ...and make a difference...

Hi Willmerit, happy birthday... bisan layo pa man kaha... sagdi lang, at least nakauna na mi ug greet nimo... hehehe... All the best !

ako sad... excited na ko makita mo...looking forward to that...

Hello Lindy,

Kumusta? Were you able to meet Mr. Ralph Baladjay and family recently... please extend my warm regards and would appreciate if you could pass on their contact address... thanks.

Hi Mike, pwede pa ba ma-accommodate ang junayag@tubagbohol.com? Daghang salamat...

okay lang wellmerit, sa kanunay kami mapasalamaton sa inyong kaayo....

Mga taga Mabini ug mga devotees ni Sta. Monica, maayong fiesta! karong adlawa ang fiesta sa Mabini.  Hope na mabungahon ang pagsaulog sa selebrasyon.

Ms B, Grazie, Welmerit.. and all... napahibalo na nako ang school Principal, they were enthusiastic of your responses to the call... Thanks so much.

Ms B: I will keep you inform about the response of our school administration in HIA kon niabot na imong padala for the library... lipay kaayo ko sa imong effort and good heart...

Am sure naay daghan diha nga naghilomhilom lang nga nagpadala o naghatag og mga libro / magazines for the library project... DAKO ug DAGHAN jud nga SALAMAT sa injung tanan.

Keep counting on HIS blessings and HE will give you more.

Kahit papaano, we have something to look forward to if we've initiated activities in self-sufficiency.. and hope kadtong mga walay enough resources to augment their spending habit would venture into this... ang sa atoa man gud kon kinsa noon toy maka afford mao man nooy kugihan... kadaghanan mga tapulan man...

Nindot baya gyod ning self-sufficient ta, di ba?

Hi Lee, all the best on your special day and throughout the year.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Hello All,

Sorry karon lang ko nagjoin ani nga thread because am thinking on how to relate and participate on this project as my family for the past years have supported free tuition fees for not less than 6 to 10 students every school year sa high school sa Anda, Bohol.

Aside from this, kahuman lang sa akong scholar in BS Dentistry who successfully passed last year's Board Exam; and have another who is a graduating student in Nursing this October.

So akong gipaminaw kong kaya pa ba kay magsugod raba ko to launch a business on my passion.

As this would be a concerted efforts among TB members, for the one who initiated this project, please let me know on how I could help in my own little way.

Rest assured I will put my hands in enhanching this project when I get home this year.

Thank you to all those with benevolent hearts. Keep up the good work TBs.

To be able to convene, we have to update kon asa ta macontact..., thanks.

Janjan, I'll be home pohon by mid June or last week of June... when I get home kadtong dili maka attend sa Grand EB, mag arrange ta og Pre-Grand EB sa mga niuli nga mobalikay na sa gawas...

Happy Fiesta to All Sanos...Really missed the season...of fiestas in Bohol.

Yes Bambi, welcome kaayo kon kinsa mo-attend sa Grand TB EB.

Janjan ayaw ug kaulaw oi, we would be pleased to meet you on that occasion. As you would be home, please dont fail to get in touch with me or you could leave your whereabouts so I will be the one to reach you.

Hi Bran Lorenz, am so proud of having known a person of your caliber!!! may you be an inspiration for others to excel in their quest for life...I could see a very bright future for you and your eventual offsprings...my Congratulations!!!

Bambi,
With your list... star studded talaga, hehehe... bitaw...am expecting more guests as you imagine... this will not be in my residence (probably the farewell smaller get together) but the evening social - the opener of the EB will be in a resort ( that I have to announce later, but the date is already reserved ), exciting.... and more exciting when I will announce the itinerary...

Mondark welcome to TB club... if pohon madayon inyong plano for a reunion or visit in Talibon, I would be pleased to arrange and make that gathering a meaningful and enjoyable event...you could reach me at Options & Concepts...

Bambi tinood gyod bisan gani ako... excited na kaayo.  At the rate the preparation is going... I would say... this is a one of a kind affair to happen ... basta surprise....

Bran,
Feel free to convey special requirements for your guests during your vacation in Bohol and elsewhere...I am more than willing to assist you.

Yes dear...the evening social will be a night to remember...formal ang dating... kay in the following day... sa tour of Bohol... jeans or casual naman....outdoor attire....

okay lang Gelyan... panagsa ra bitaw.... aron masul-ot ang mga tinaguan nga party / cocktail dress... hehehe

Okay Mike, will review the site...and pledge to support the scholarship program of the organization...

aron mawala ang thrill ... akong isulti kon duol-duol na....basta prepare your evening dress kay dunay dress code... sa evening socials...

Congratulations and More Power to Tubag Bohol...the man behind... no other than Mr. Mike Ligalig and to all who subscribed to TB... Happy Anniversary!

All the Best!!!

Bambi, ma-miss gyod ta ka... but anyway, am working to document the affair with the local cable tv ... basta.... surprise ang preparation nga gihimo... thrill da....hehehe

Nawala man si St. Agnes niining thread? looking forward to have you as part of the support team pohon sa EB...with Gelyan...

Bran, looking forward to meet your father pohon sa EB.  Do you have any changes (i.e. addition ) to the number of who will participate in the tour and our evening socials... I've taken down notes of your submitted list...

In my personal assessment, ICM is at par with other prominent malls in terms of facilities / amenities; where in fact, ICM was an awardee as one of the Best Malls in the Visayas & Mindanao in the past years.

On the cinema...I had an encounter wherein one of the viewers was carrying a firearm inside the cinema... I don't think this is permissible for civilians...the look of the guy was suspicious for me as he's a bit chubby, wearing short... I was supposed to report to the management... but since I was on my few days of my remaining vacation period... I let this go without intervention... if he were a military watching movie, then probably this incident would not come to my attention...

I second the motion...as said in the past... Bran Lorenzo is on the making of a great persona...

You're welcome Ms B:. with your benevolent heart... you deserve all the thanks and best wishes...

Dear All... let us pray nga walay kakulian o smooth ang atong mga plano...with God's blessings and the noble vision we have...am optimistic that this event would be rewarding to all...

On behalf of the HIA Alumni Association and of the school administration... Daghan og Dako namong pasalamat... May God give you more blessings and your family... good health, peace, happiness and prosperity.

Ms B: I will get in touch with the School Principal for this... God Bless.

What a poor taste! on the part of the medical provider and its staff... they should know the ethical standards... regardless of what gender... they have to respect and restraint disclosures... should the patient have signed a waiver... he must know the consequences...there is something wrong ... justice must be served...

yeah.... alegre gyod..

Maayo kay daghan ta... mabibo gyod...

Hi Bran,  I believe it would just be fine...but now my nephew is in the Philippines.  He will return to Chicago ( Rush Hospital ) by June.. will check on his email so I could pass on to you...

Sorry nalimutan ko ang tubag sa Why or ngano man "Awaken The Giant Within",  the book says that there are a lot of hidden potentials deep in the inner most of our being which are untapped... it needs some motivation and discipline to unleash that power...

Whether the manifestations are big or small.... the important thing is... the SUBSTANCE....a hearty small has bigger impact than a big without meaning...

Any other July celebrants / celebrators among TB members?

One book to recommend " Awaken The Giant Within by Anthony Robbins ".

Hello Everyone in TB... am still in the look out for more applicants...your referrals would be most appreciated... thanks.

Yes, mabuhi gyod bisan wala kwarta... mag-andam nalang ug pamilite from one town to another.... hehehe....but what I am trying to convey...dili gyod tinuod ang ija ija aho aho sa Bohol... kay kon tinuod pa, dili makakaon ang mga tawo bisan dili kaila even during fiesta... does the logic tell?

Bran,

We must not forget where we came from... our roots.  One will value more of its success when it is achieved in a hard way...

Kiamoy,

Ayaw ug kaulaw kon fiesta... kay bisan dili ka kaila makakaon gyod ka... maybe, it is only in Bohol where you can find this special trait during fiestas... blessing man god ni kon magpakaon ka ug tawo... siempre.... mas maayo kon kaila aron maatiman og maayo... hehehe

Bran Lorenzo,

What a compliment for being " an idol for Pinoy students ".  But it is real that "poverty is not a hindrance to success"... never thought that there is a bright life after the death of my father at a very tender age...'but with the scholarship programs, I was able to obtain a degree..." so for you students who are priveleged, the more you should be motivated to attain peaks... heights...and must treasure and make the best of the blessings...

Gelyan,

Let your hubby call on the provided cell number of Mr. Rome...he could define the details.

I admire on the guy's persistence...am sure, he is a happy person...and grateful.

On salsa, mosukol ko.... basta ballroom dancing... kahibalo sad no ana... hehehe, pohon manayaw ta during sa upcoming nga Grand TB EB.

Macky,

Wala nako kalimti mga anak ni Rey, I've sent them text messages ( si Jay-R og si John ), hope they will get in touch Rome...

Gelyan,

Kaila diay mo ni Rey Ompad?  He used to be my player in the basketball team I'd organized among Bisayans here in Saudi in the past... until now am recommending basketball players who like to work here and at the same time play basketball in his past time... being the Adviser of the largest basketball league in the EP, the United Filipino Basketball Federation.

Bitaw Vits... maayo ning nakauna na ug greet kay tingalig makalimtan... but will ensure ka dili ta ka makalimtan pagrecognize during our EB for July celebrants...

Grazie and all,

Recognizing positive values and embedding them in ourselves and in our dispositions with others would certainly bring changes in our surroundings...hoping we could bring this change in our very own communities...

Advance happy birthday Vits... nindot icelebrate with the TB members... hehe

Define?, here it is: DIOS - GOD AND CORO- CHOIR

DIOSCORO ( CHOIR OF GOD ).... My real name is "Dioscoro Orias Ayag Jr."

seryoso no? hehehe.... bitaw, Spanish baya akong name gikan.... hehehe

Moving and working on changes towards patriotism must start from within ... in every individuals... positive values must be aligned ... rewarding for many...if we advocate on what is good and beautiful for us... these will also be infectious to others...and be embedded as a norm... by then... a more caring and loving community will prevail....

Carolinian to ka no Mr / Ms Bol-anon? may we spread the idea to convene fellow Carolinians...and be among the prime movers of change in our province...

Yes Ginger... when I had visited some parts of Europe in the past, I've met some Filipinos and the common commentaries... maduol o masaligan gyod ang mga Bisaya labaw na ang mga Bol-anon... dili man tinood ang ija-ija aho-aho... the testimonials of many Filipinos were sufficient to support such claim...and I am proud to be a Bisaya and Boholano at large... even those expats I've made who made a visit in Tagalog area and in the Visayan region for recruitment, mas maayo gyod kuno ang mga Bisaya and when they made a side trip of Bohol, ang ilang ikasulti... IT IS REALLY PEACEFUL AND WARM LOVING PEOPLE...

In previous years, University Foundation Day celebrations were attended with contingents notably by alumni groups from Surigao and those based in the USA... because of our proximity to Cebu.... how nice to have participation from Bohol....

Bohol and/or Boholanos have a competitive edge over than... kay ang "Bol-anon buotan man gayod... magmahal kanimo [bisan kinsa ug kanus-a] sa kahangtoran... in short... sincere nga amigo... tinood ba TubagBohol?

Nganong makapungot man??? would love to help you....

Nice to have you back Mr. Bennelyne.... it's been a long time... we missed your words of wisdom...

From what you've mentioned, there is  gap as to competencies in catering to the requirements relevant to your endeavor.. we could explore on this... and hope to discuss in a more appropriate time.

Looking forward to that...
