hello to our kakailian of metro chicago.  to our classmate (rahs class 66)wilma gabanit.urayendaka no reunion tayo inton march 3, 2006 gayyem.agmalmalem tayo idiay balay da romy rayos ken mapantayo makisala no balikbayan night!

Greetings from the Philippines! I stumbled upon this while searching for familiar names under tnhs'70. This is an opportunity to say hello to kababayans, former classmates, friends (and of course, familiar names - Doris Delizo, Cip
Pastor, Arlene Santos (hi!), Noel & Jessie Goltiao, etc. You know, a handful from batch '70 based in Manila occasionally take time off to organize a get together party (a way of keeping in touch). The recent one was in December 2005,
at my place. However, instead of increasing, the number of attendees seem to have dwindled; well, it seems that even in the Philippines,  spare time for relaxation is beginning to be expensive and elusive. So far, a better  way of keeping in touch is through this medium. Congratulations, Eddong, for this well designed page - really meant to keep each and everyone connected. Happy New Year to all!!! Phoebe 

to all! anyone who can recognize  me my contact =639174833556, my email--toodskc3204@yahoo.com you are my relative....keep in touch!!!

This is great. Everyone in our Hometown can get together with this site. Well sending my regards to all the Sanchez Family out there. Miss you all. This reminds me of how this town have made all the people be a family...

great web site! I am looking for my father's family. My grandad died in'49 or'50 came to the states after WWII from somewhere in Pangansinan. My father died many years ago. Both were named Macario Ferrer. Any info would be appreciated, I think I have an aunt who may still be around - she must be over 65 now. Let her know her eldest brother never forgot her.
Salamat!

Happy New Year!

I wanted to take this opportunity to correct myself. I had originally signed the guestbook mentioning that I was the daughter of Ano Tampoya who was the first president of the San Nicolas Association of Ontario. As it turns out, my dad was actually the second president to preside. The first president was Mr. Rene Bedana. Sorry for the confusion and my apologies to Tito Rene!

Once again if you wish to contact my dad, Ano Tampoya, you can do so through my email address.

Whew... am still sleepy. This is final correction: http://www.pasoc.ca

Got it right this time. Sorry folks!

Correction please... Pangasinan Society of Calgary's website should be http://www.pasoc.cs

All the best in 2005!

i think there are several catuiza's in Toronto, Canada. They are my cousin's cousins. they're from barrio lungao, san nicolas.

Im trying to collect ilocano folk /love songs, particularly songs of Bobby Gutierrez to download. Can anyone please share his /her collections?

Many thanks.

It's really good to see this kind of site. especially one promoting our town.

well, i didn't really grew up in san nicolas, however, part of my growing up was spending my bakasyon's in lungao, yearly with my cousins. i can still remember when after each 'padanom' when we get to catch "curiats" to eat, to swim at the "carayan" and catch bunog, or just enjoy the almost-always festive atmosphere in the neighborhood especially during sunsets. i really missed those days, when after one rainy day, our lolo, we fondly call him amang, gets to tap bamboo saps for his energy local drink,and giving us half, distributing evenly to us, cousins. while our inang, who used to sell freshly picked string beans at the market would bring us her pasalubongs when she gets home, usually kankanens like rice cakes. our amang would not take his lunch without our inang. i can still remember when we call our amang, "amang manganen!" and he would reply like "umuna kayon, urayek pay ni inang yo." he usually keeps himself busy like making baskets from kawayan.

boy, those were my choldhood days in lungao, and missed them a lot, really.

Mabuhay from Chino Hills, CA.

This is a call for support from one Pinoy to another. Please help me promote my newly opened webstore. shopdrops.com at http://www.shopdrops.com. The shop offers products and opportunities for women to integrate both home and career management strategies into their daily rituals.

We will see you there!

I am appealing to all our Kailians in Metro Chicago to please join the newly organized UNITED INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF PANGASINAN. As my friend and Kailian Gorio said, four of our kailians were elected officers. Now that is a big plus for our town and we can do better than that if we are all united and join the organization. On your ULR type Pangasinan.org and you will see a big sign that says UNITED INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF PANGASINAN put you curssor on top of it and left click. When you're done signing stop by at San Nicolas message board and say a few words for everybody. and if you feel even bolder go to the main message board and type your heart out . Let us show everybody that San Nicolanians are united. Come and join us now. your membership is waiting and free and very simple. Thanks. I see you there at Pangasinan.org.

Congratulation to 4 Nicolanians elected as an officer of United International Federation of Pangasinan. They are as follow:

Ped Ramos-President-Chicago, Illinois/Rangay ti Daya, San Nicolas

Narlo Serquina-Press Relation Officer-Calgary, Alberta, Canada/Rangay ti Daya, San Nicolas

Florentino "Kuya Ardy" Acosta-Auditor-Juneau, Alaska/San Roque, San Nicolas

Roger "Gorio" Leprozo-Auditor-Ridgecrest, California/Casaratan, San Nicolas

Just surfing the web during work.
Hi! Not in Chi-town anymore, but in DC.

Someone asked me, what is " INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF PANGASINAN ASSOCIATIONS " ? Literally, as the name implies it is a union of organizations of all Pangasinan associations through out the world. No, this will not be another Pangasinan association but it will be the " mother of all Pangasinan organizations ". And who are the members? The members are the associations themselves, for example " Pangasinan Association of Toronto, San Nicolas Association of Juneau, Alaska, Tayug Association of Southern California, Tayug Association of Texas, Pangasinan Association of London, Australia, Manila , Middle East, etc., etc." As soon as your local organization becomes a member all your constituents will become members automatically. And soon as we agreed to form an alliance then that will be the time to hold a convention to elect the officers, make bylaws, constitution, mission goals and etc..And as soon as Manong Fernand is done with the chat room and everything we will have a provincial cyber meeting ( the very first of its kind). It will be very much appreciated if we can invite the governor elect of Pangasinan to participate in the meeting. And perhaps in the induction of officers we can invite the governor to be the guest speaker. Well, what do you think? That's why we have to do this right. Slowly but sure. Anyone who wants to share , you are welcome to share us your thoughts and ideas on this matter.Your opinion is important so don't hesitate my friend. Just think what we can do if we are all united . . . . endless possibilities . TRY TO IMAGINE WHAT WE CAN DO IF WE ARE UNITED. IMAGINE

We are trying to organize all the Pangasinan Associations of North america. So I'm calling the attention of all Pangasinan.org regular contributors and new comers. Well, everybody is having reunions and get together but us. So many organizations but not one united Pangasinan Front in the entire continent of North America. I would like to meet all of you in person if I can. I have talked to other people and they argeed to have a get together to form an alliance. This will be an organization to unite all the organizations around the US and Canada and every where else. Just think of the possibilities if we are all united, just think how much we can do to help our province. How about this for a name " INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF PANGASINAN ASSOCIATIONS " . I think this is a great idea to unite all the Pangasinan organizations . I'm calling the attention of all the presidents and officers of all the Pangasian associations here in North America to include this in your agenda on your next organizational meeting. Think about it. We have a year to decide on this. Take your time but hurry up. Email me or the webmaster for your opinion. I will post this message again in about a month to follow up. Thank you. Florentino Acosta of Juneau, Alaska.

Iteresting site, gave me as an swede a lot better opinion about the town from where my wife Josephine Ruiz came from.

Greetings from the Ontario Chapter!

I am the daughter of Cipriano Tampoya, the first president of the San Nicolas Association of Ontario. I know that this is an association that my dad takes great pride in. He does not currently have access to the internet but if their are any messages that I can pass along to him, please feel free to do so. I would like to send hello to Manuel Mejia & family and to my Ninong Manolo & Ninang Auring in West Virginia. I will see all of you at the Reunion Camping trip in Canada this year!

i am from cebu city philippines, i don't know any bibat here in cebu except my sister.i've come across several bibat's in this web address. i'm working right now in a law firm here in cebu. to all the bibat there, if you do have time pls. do e-mail me. I never attended any family reunions... may be we are related...

Attended Red Arrow High School 1960-62. Arrived Fresno, California 1962.

I am so overwhelmed with gladness that my research on the profiles of the different 33 barangays of our beloved town San Nicolas had landed in this website. These were a part of the San Nicolas 1999 Town Fiesta souvenir program and were featured therein as Barangay Profiles.As a member of the Sanguniang Bayan, I was the chairman of the said Program and Invitation Committee of that 1999 Town Fiesta. I made that painstaking research so as to let our Balikbayan townmates -who were our honored guests in our fiesta at that time, and the rest of our town folks, learn more about the history and culture of our town San Nicolas. And now, Manong Ed is letting the world know more about San Nicolas this time.Kudos to Manong Ed...

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL KAILIAN DITA US AND OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. THIS IS GREAT. NOW WE ARE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE. KUDOS TO ED T.

Hi,San Nicolanians. Andiyan pala kayo lahat sa States.Nagiisa ako siguro dito sa Germany.Kumusta na lang sa inyong lahat. Keep in touch, Ill be very happy!!

My Fellow San Nicolanians,

As we celebrate the christmas season and enter into a new threshold year, let us pause ourselves and evaluate the fundamental concept of humanity in which morality came from. Morality is the precept of unity- it is the convergence of feeling of respect and conscience as one family. This was the kind of belief that prevailed in my brain before I left San Nicolas 17 years ago. Now, our town is under the rule of materialistic environment wherein money and power subdued the basic moral fibre of the family. How could that it be! The basic premise is that the failure of the elders to mold and to educate the young people to act and to think in accordance with the highest moral standard of humanity impliedly it creates corrupt and selfish mind. And if we allow to persist this line of realm of comprehension,we can not regain of what we had. Let it be known that during 60's,70's and 80's San Nicolas was one of the most respected town of Pangasinan. Our fellow Pangasinanese look at our town as the most peaceful and loving town. It is logical to reflect on this subject on this ambivalent period in view of the current manifestation of divisiveness among San Nicolanians. Let us set aside our ill-feeling to anyone on this Christmas and look forward for a Happy New Year. Let us make San Nicolas a better place to live in.

Greetings to my kakailian outside the Philippines. We just hope you won't forget to visit us here in the Philippines, even once in a while. MERRY CHRISTMAS. Thanks to "Ed T", the brainshild of this website. WORLD CLASS talaga.

to all officers and members of san nicolanias of metro chicago,we want to wish you a merry christmas and happy new year!

Congratulations to the brains behind this website,especially to Mr.Tamondong.Are you a brother to my classmate Fred T.? My family and I would like to wish each San Nicolonian here in the Usa and abroad especially in the Philippines,a warm WERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

We would like to congratulate Roger
and Elizabeth Gadden on their wedding anniversary on November 13.
Your cousin and family wish all the best
and congratulations again.

what a website!

It is very informative site and exceptional undertaking. Mrs. Tamondong used to be my teacher in grade 3 at San Nicolas Elem. School. You must be the little boy who often visits our classroom during recess. Those are the good old days.

Some of your guest's last name sounds familiar to me. I grew up in Barrio Casaratan which is a farming community. And in the 70's I enlisted in the US Navy at Subic Bay. Several times I came to visit our hometown when I was on board the west coast carriers, the Ranger and Enterprise. Perhaps my last visit was way back in 1982 during my tour of duty at NAS Cubi Point, Bataan,RP. Honestly, I miss our hometown especially Ambayoan River.

Hey. omg, i was surfin the net and looked upo my name and found our association! HOw kewl!! lol i miss all of you and hope to see you soon. HAVE great summmr i love u all, my mother syas hi too good bless u all! love stephanie!

The persons that you should know: Philippine National Police Director Hermogenes Ebdane Jr is the husband of Manang Alma Cabanayan, daughter of the late Tatang Pepe Cabanayan and Nanang Santing Callanta of Barangay Casaratan of San Nicolas.

Amin nga taga San Nicolas

At this juncture, it is now a moment for me to reflect the fundamental concept of sharing of thoughtfulness in wishing you a Merry "X' Mas and Happy New Year. Being a traditional San Nicolanians, it has always been my profound belief; notwithstanding of our ideoligical, political and religious preferences, we intend to unite for a common good.And our visions for San Nicolas are guided by moral persuasion and consciousness and not by personal aggrandizement. Let us preserve the dignity and integrity of our town. Don't exploit its immaculate image for any illogical end. Let us peruse the merits and principles that anchor its foundational context as the best town of Pangasinan.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR to the Ramirez family (Tatang & Nanang, Mng Simla & family, Mng Eden & family, Meriam, Prasad and boys).

Naimbag/NARAGSAC NGA PASKUAYO AMIN nga taga San Nicolas aglalo unay ni manang Saling Urbano-Fragata and family.

To my Cousin Saling, "Hi, how are you doing now? The last thing I heard was that your kids are now here in the US. I would very much like to hear from you or your kids. I hope you get this message and that you, or your kids, reply through this website."

"Oh, and by the way, I've finally gotten in touch with your brother Toriong(Fernando Tiongson), now retired Senior Chief Petty Officer,USCG."

Salamat and God Bless,
Iday

Just wanted to say thanks for linking to our website. BTW, I like the clean look on your website. Hope to see everyone again on your next party/fund rasier/induction ball...whatever the next event may be!

Greetings to all the good and gentle people of San Nicolas, Pangasinan! I thoroughly enjoyed visiting this website, which I found while surfing the Internet, devoted to the town where I spent my indelibly pleasant and memorable boyhood years. The article by Mr. Pedronio O. Ramos in particular is very enlightening. Let me add that in the academic field, San Nicolas contributed one of her sons, Dr. Juan R. Francisco, toward the scholarly excellence of the University of the Philippines. Dr. Francisco distinguished himself as a scholar, professor and author in the field of Indology and earned in Ph.D. from the University of Madras in India. My parents, Rev. Francisco F. Bauzon and Mrs. Julita E. Bauzon, served in the United Methodist Church (UMC) of San Nicolas during the Second World War and then in 1950-1956. I have a fond memory of the overflowing love of the San Nicolas UMC members toward my parents and toward me and my sister Evelyn and younger brothers Marvin and Kenneth. The members of the San Nicolas UMC and other kindhearted townspeople took care of and protected us during the war years in particular, for which we are forever grateful. I attended and graduated from the San Nicolas Central Elementary School (1950-1956). While there I vividly recall selling "pan de sal" as a little boy walking to and from such villages like San Jose, Santa Maria, San Roque, and others. I enjoyed swimming in the Ambayoan River, searching for spiders in the "damortis" trees along the "carayan," and even participating in the "tagnawa" custom of harvesting mongo! Presently, I am a foreign professor in the Graduate School of Area Studies of the University of Tsukuba, one of the Top Ten national institutions of higher learning in Japan which has engendered and produced Nobel Prize winners in physics and chemistry. I like to re-establish contact with my childhood friends and classmates in the San Nicolas Central Elementary School. Please feel free to e-mail me. Thank you and with all my best wishes always to the people of San Nicolas. Shine where you are!

kumusta kaillian,
manang Pacing Tamundong,Orville Navarro and all.
Agyaman kami ta adda iti kastoy a website ket nakita da kayo.
more powe, and GOD BLESS

Aloha From Hawaii,

I just met a cousin here on MAUI I never knew, UDILON MEJIA AQUINO who is now residing in Los Angeles. After he told be about San Nicolas, where most of the MEJIAS came from, I can't help but be intrigued and try to rediscover my roots.

I grew up here in Hawaii and don't really know much about my mother's side of the family. I am hoping that through this web site, I will find more MEJIAS all over the world.

My mother was the late LETICIA MEJIA and my grandfather was JOHN MEJIA. If any of you knew my mother or my granfather, I would love to hear from you.

God Bless and Aloha,
Rick

To officers and members of San Nicolanians of Metro Chicago,


I was fortunate to be invited to deliver an inspirational speech during your fund raising drive and officers induction ceremony. This act of recognition serves as an inspiration to all hard-working San Nicolanians most especially those who at the outset struggled for survival. Thus,I profoundly convey my sincerest gratitude to Mr. Ed Tamondong and Mr. Orville Navarro for their super-positive attitude towards this kind of endeavor. Keep it up. Your townmates are very proud of you.

Rey and Jessie Rodrigo,

We are thinking of you and your family in the loss of your love one (Mrs. Fontanilla) with the sympathy and understanding that words can only try to express.

Hello to all!!! I just want to say "HI" to all fellow townmates!!! I am the daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Diego (EDDIE) E. Ancheta.

I used to work in pangasinan in one telecom firm and i would say that i help in providing telephone lines in san nicolas. best regards to all. and to former mayor Conrado Rodrigo.

Hi everybody. good to see your images after all these years (about 36 Yrs) although I have to admit I have a hard time recognizing each of you its still a thrill for me non-theless.

I want to inform you that Dr. Porfirio M. Gonzales passed away last year. Try to keep in touch with us here in the Philippines. I'm the grandson of Judge Enrique Gonzales. My mother Rebecca is extending her warm wishes to all of you

I'm searching for a friend named 'Kristine Nicolas'. If someone out there knows something about my friend, kindly e-mail me at wzorilla@hotmail.com.
