I would like to congratulate Mayor Coefredo "tekwa" Uy for his humble achievement of having the very first bus terminal in Catbalogan operational. We need this type of politician who talk less but act more and who applies his entrepreneurial skill to serve Catbaloganons.

Kudos to you Sir and I hope that this is just the beginning of the "big things" to come for the benefit of Catbaloganons and Samarnons in general. Of course there are many things to be done which was left unattended by  past administrations, but I believe it's  just a matter of time and sourcing out funds to realize them. First things, first.

Finally , I would like to say thank you for providing Catbaloganons this service that we have long deserved....

It's been quite a long time now and nothing has been heard about the plunder case against the provincial governor Milagrosa Tan and her cohorts in capitol. And what is the Vice-Governor of the Province, Jesus B. Redaja, together with the rest of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, doing on the situation at the capitol?  I've heard that the Lady Governor hasn't even attended or sat in the Regional Development Council since she took the reins of the Province?  Shall we allow these things to happen still?  She doesn't even attend meetings being called for by the different agencies in the Region...

Pastilan! Mag-anano nala kit nga mga Samarnon sini nga kahimtang san aton Probinsiya? Magparahulat nala kit sin waray kasiguraduhan?  Ugop gad kit san aton mahal nga tuna! Ayaw na kit pagpinangaturog! Kita nga tanan angay gumi-os na!

What the Gugma Han Samar has done is novel, truly inspiring and worthy emulating by all Filipinos here and abroad. Indeed, internet is a medium not only to post birthdays, marriages, exchange views and opinions but also to move people to work and translate dreams and great ideas into actions to better our communities.

Samarnon like Professor Ceasar Torres and many others at the Gugma han Samar are people of great strength, pride and steadfast thus no typhoons and floods can break their spirit. . .surely in their vein runs the blue blooded Lapu-lapu the Philippine hero of all time.

I salute the great children of SAMAR. . !

Haunting Mind's Eye

Indelible visions of long ago and far away
About old Catbalogan town in virtual inferno
Houses burning like match sticks, people running in wild disarray
Church bells ringing, police sirens blasting, the entire town a desperado

Red hot, orange fire raging
Dark, sulfuric smoke bellowing right behind
Turning everything on its trail to nothing
How could fire and smoke be so unkind?

Burnt bodies frightening, razed properties staggering
Survivors instantly recovering in daze and desolation
Measures taken to stop further burning
Able bodied men called to serve in fire prevention

The cause of the conflagration no one knew
Whether intentional or accidental still a mystery
Fate accepted for life to start anew
Townfolks rebuilt in quite resignation and forced misery

Lightning never strikes twice so they say
But don't hold your breath on this town's sad story
For a few moons later fire struck again and there to stray
Like the Devil's bargain to achieve someone's fame and glory

Happy Easter to my friends, neighbors and classmates.

I'm Teacher Chay Dionco, a Human Ecology grad of UPLB, I'm not actually a native of Samar but I admit , I love your place.

I fell in love with the breath taking nature and beautiful people who accommodated us when I was in Bantay Kalikasan for an ecotour coverage. The officials and local town people are indeed beautiful inside and out. Since then, I promote your place...I always pray for a come back.

Thank God, He answers our prayers. Last 2004, I met a very good friend from Catarman. He is a very humble young officer who has a lot of dreams for his hometown and Samarenios.

This coming March 28-30, 2005 I was invited by the Principal of Catarman Elem School to be their guest of honor/speaker. I am so thrilled about it. I am there to inspire them to be like you...successful and achievers in your field.

Any message for them?

I will go there for two reasons:

1. To inspire the next generation...to strive harder, continue their educ and face the challenges of life as youth.

2. To know their educational needs like infrastructure and other educational materials needed very much for teaching like the ETV because I worked din ABS CBN Foundation Inc, the ETV has an Adopt a Hometown prog providing a ETV package to the schools for $1,000 or P54T. it includes:

TV set ( for classroom size)
VHS player or DVD Player
6 subject lessons for viewing
good for a one year program
plus a Teacher training for a minimum number of packages).
Teaching Manual
and of course a tv coverage of the turnover ceremony..to be aired on TV patrol and TFC shows not to boast but to inspire others to do the same.

I had worked with this beautiful people of ETV and EMedia...

I volunteer myself to be your servant/coordinator for this to make transaction a lot easier and transparent accountability,  since I worked there and I will visit Samar next week.  I'll send you the pictures, asap.

I is with much sadness I must inform friends and loves that Maria Jacklyn Dasig-Thomason passed away Friday, March 10, 2005. She is survived by her husband, Zach Thomason, of Greenville, South Carolina, USA. After courageously fighting for few years with her illness, Jackie lost her battle with cancer. She was not only known to the “Waray Community” in Greenville, but also to the Filipino population in the local area.

After graduating college from Samar Trade School, she worked for the Agriculture Department in Tarangnan before immigrating to the United States more than ten years ago.

We have been trying to contact the family of Jackie in Canlapwas and Maulong but the phone numbers are not working. I believe her sister Aida teaches at Samar College, and a brother lives in Maulong. If the family has any questions please send a text to Clarita at 864-414-4729 and provide a phone number and Clarita will return your call. You may also email me at maria.clark@peoplesbc.com.

Kindly pass this information if you know the family by chance. Thank you so much.

Bahin hini nga sumbong nga ginpasaka ngadto ha Ombudsman, hinaut pa unta nga lamragan kita ngan masayud hini, ngan diri liwat an Ombudsman umukoy han investigacion kay basi gud lumutaw it kamatuoran.  Segun hit aton "sistema juridica" o "judicial system" (Agidaw, ano - nga perestihon, nga na di ka kinatsila kita hini!) = a person who is accused is "presumed innocent until proven guilty".  He, he, he!  Sanglit hi ako ngahaw, nag-aalang ak pagbana-bana, kay bisan pa medio may ka kiling hit aton sistema, hin-o pa man it angay tumahod hit balaud kundi hi kita ngahaw, it taghimungto.  Let the process take its due course.  If it's proven that improprieties did take place, then the law should be applied to its fullest extent.  Agi, ini - nga napaka-abogado naman kita.

Balitaw, malain gad liwat panmati-an iton ngaran nga "kurib-kutib" hit fondos de gobierno.  Asay pa daw ada kon matuod gud man nga nahitatabo ini ha Samar.  But let's see if our system of justice still works in the Philippines.  After all, it's often been said that ours is "A government of laws, not of men."  Or as that Steven Seagal movie would put it:  "No one is above the Law."  Vamos a ver, kitaon ta daw.

Ngaran ak nahahangrit basta nabati na ako hit "kurib-kutib", pastilan, di nala ak magdidinamo hin comentario, ngan di ko nala ini iikug-ikugan pa kay bangin may dumulo.  Kundi masumo na man gud iton pagpinamati hini nga mga noticia bahin hin mga fondos de gobierno nga ginkukurib-kutib - tikang ha Aparri ngat ha Jolo. Sanglit mababasol ba naton an Isog Han Samar kon mag-inisog hira ngan magbinuruka tungod hini nga waray na katapusan nga kurib-kutib hit cavan ni Juan de la Cruz?

Aadi in ak sangkay nga sige it pag-inugsong ha ak nga mag-kandidato nala kuno ako ha Samar kay basi kuno kitaon it ak abilidad.  Agidaw, ano - nga perestihon!  Bis pa seguro ak yana ofreceran hin ka presidente, di nala ak ada makarawat kay bangin waray na sulod hit tesoreria nacional.  Di asya na - waray ko na kakawaton kon hi ako naman it maka-poder.  Balitaw, entremis la ini.  Kundi asya iton it kasugad ha Pilipinas, nga natika-damo la it napakadto hin langyaw nga mga lugar, kay masyado na gud it ira kabutangan.  May pa gad intawon paglaum hit Pilipinas.  If only we would return to sanity and the rule of law.  Panahon na gad man nga bumalik na an gahum han aton mga balaud.  Kay kon diri yana, san-o pa man?  Makuri man ini kon maghihinulat la kita ngada hit pagbusag hit uwak.

Ngaran la damo ha am it aadi ha hirayo, naduyog gad man kami hit kasugad hit Samar.  Hin ka makalolooy hini nga kasakay hit aton provincia ngan hit aton minayuyo nga isla.  Kunta, angay na gad man magmata ngan manmuhay-puhay it lomolopyo, kay bisan nala tinalagudti makakatilaw gihapon kita han mga ipinanaad hin nga sinesering nga "democracia".

Amo la (sering pa ha Catbalogan - "Ansiya la"), kumusta ha iyo ngatanan.

Hello My name is Rhea Ramilo 22 yrs old currently living in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A.  I came across this site and had some troubles I suppose.  Anyways I am here to maybe have a chance to find my MOM and maybe meet someone who lives in Catbalogan, Samar that I could be penpals with.

I went to 1st and 2nd Grade in Mercedes Elementary School. Anyone here knows where it is Please contact me at Rhea21_41602@yahoo.com . Anyways, after moving out away from that area I ended up living in Barangay Sto. Niño and went to San Andres Bonifacio Elementary School.  Anyone know where that is also? Please do contact me. I am here to first of all also find a way to get a hold of my Mom. It had been 11yrs since I've not had any contact with her nor anyone from the Philippines although I remember part of her address in my head: TITO BARNOBAL, Barangay Sto. Niño, Catbalogan, Samar 6700.

If anyone could help me in any way with finding my MOM please let me know. I remember living poorly there and it would be my turn now to help out my mom and my little siblings. I'm only 22, just a U.S. High School graduate and working as a Certified Nurses Asst. Not financially well off yet but I'm sure I can help them a little bit if by means getting them proper clothes, food and maybe a place. Please HELP ME.
