To Abby Garado, Santiago Tamidles, & Cesar Torres:

First, let me thank Ms. Garado for the comment she has posted early on. It is true that while Samar is in total darkness right now, Samar's youth are our only hope to get out of the pit of poverty and misery. As long as there is a free press like Samarnews.com, there's still hope. My contribution may not necessarily be on the frontlines of the battle for socio-political-economic transformation of Samar but I am voicing out my concerns so others may be enlightened. Speaking out the realities of Samar's frailties is one way to carve awareness among our people. My hope is for you to choose your own little way of changing the current situation in Samar. Thank you for your adulation!

Second, let me thank Mr. Tamidles for his deep concern of Samar. We sure need your expertise in teaching to help teachers become better teachers. The public school system in Samar is in disarray especially those in the hinterlands of Samar where classes are cut short because of the unvailability of teachers or that the teachers travel so far that most days are lost to travelling the far distances. You should probably offer scholarships to those in the hinterlands so they could go back to the mountains to teach their kababaryos. Sending a scholar to TTMIST or to Samar State University (SSU) is cheap. One sumptous meal in Bronx, NY could pay for one scholar's board & lodging for a month. Don't just come back to the Philippines during your vacations, give back. Giving back is far better than just coming back. You could even ask your American students (please clear this with the headmaster/principal or you'll be in trouble) to donate used books so these could be given to high school students in Oquendo. You will realize later that the biblical injunction "to whom much has been given, much more shall be required" is true. And the adage, "it is better to give than to receive" is correct. Again, your deep concern for Samar will allow you to do more. Start one and you'll realize that you are doing more favor to your self than to others when you share your God-given talents & resources.

Third, the panganugon and pagdayaw of Mr. Cesar Torres is both a praise and an insult. One positive point on the praise and one negative point on him calling me an "elitist" So, in a way, it was worthless. But, I thank him for the work he does in the US for the Philippines and for Samar. He is one soul we Samarnon should be proud of. His support of initiatives to alleviate the conditions of those in Samar is worthy of our gratitude. I wish that he could send more dollars to offer more scholarships to Villahanon so that schools in Villareal will be staffed by qualified teachers. I wish that he could write more letters of concern to public officials, especially that he usually brush his shoulders with powerful people, to petition the government to finish the road to Villareal. Use his connections and organizations to push for real social changes in Samar. Encourage and energize the Katbaloganon organization (I think there are chaptes in the US) or other US-based Samarnon organizations to be more social agents of change than mere social organizations showing the latest fashions. His column in a Filipino newsweekly should be used to bring more awareness of the conditions of the ordinary Johnny dela Cruz in Samar so that those Samarnons who have gained so much material blessings be touched to give back something to the place where their climb to success started.

Hello Samarnon, I'm glad to find this website. What a great job. There are other site much older than this, but you set it up nicely. Bow ako sa iyo! The sad thing though is most complains are about our complex and problems. Well, I supposed its okay because it will help resolve our sorrows. Poru na la problema an reklamo, about politics mostly. The debate of Catbalogan to be a City. I don't know what's the problem with that! If its for progress, then be it. The rest of the island will progress as well. Then there is the long problem of NPA.

Its new generation now. Its about time we come to our senses that violence is not the answer, however you think your idea is the best. Life is not like the movies. It is obviously for self satisfaction and not to serve to humanity in a humane way. It's a new world now, its time to embrace one another and forget the past and get invovled to a better one. More new knowledge and wisdom of the coming years. It's space time in fact already. Don't waste our remaining lives for an idea that's old. Have fun more in an open and clear heart without negative input. It's more uplifting when we can make a child smile in simple ways. Sorry, I did'nt mean to make sermon. I got carried away.

I just want to share my good feeling of the more closeness relationship of our people in the future because of sites like this. I was born in Calbayog and still proud of it and proud of Calbayog for its existence. It's a symbolic place, build out of love. I like to say hello to my old friends there and to stay strong. Maybe it God's fate for us in Samar that we did not progress like other places.

Now we can be the one ahead when it comes to eco-tourism and the likes of it. New ideas will be created again from scrap. Once again education is the key. Anyway, everything will be fine for all of us, our children if we keep on advocating in peaceful means. There's a new saying; Tolerance + Cooperation = PEACE! Some of you would say, sabi ko lang iyan dahil malayo ako sa atin, nasa labas ka. Hindi ko alam ang talagang nangyayari! Well, fair enough, my body maybe out, but my deeper love of our place is greater because its inside of me and very spiritual. In my daily thoughts and prayer I always include the goodwill of home. I just happen to be a hunter in a different way and one day will go home to bring what I made. No matter how humble it might be and there are millions of us outside but thinking inside. Just like the hunters in the old days, during Lapu-lapu time.. They go and sail out of Samar and go to other islands and comes back home with some goodies.

I love you all...sayawan at karanta na! If you want to see more of me and my clowning acts check this; http://www.youtube.com/royrattler If anything I can do to help please contact me and I hope old friends that remembers me will do as well.

I was so happy to find this website and kudos to Mr. Ray Gaspay for having the foresight to create Samar News and for doing such a terrific job. Damo nga salamat, Mr. Gaspay.

I was born in Catbalogan City and have very fond memories of my childhood days especially my friends in Pier Uno (remember an aton pangarigo ha pier kada Domingo labi na gud kon taob) and high school at Samar National School. I treasure my Catbalogan experience very much. For me, it was the happiest I've had - lots of fun, carefree, wonderful friends and teachers and hospitable people. I sure hope to visit Catbalogan City soon!

BRAVO!!! Ever since I have been visiting SAMAR NEWS.COM and reading comments from various and concerned kababayans about the current political conditions from our home province, I never been so impressed and felt soooooo prouuuuud until after reading Mr. Antonio Morales opinion on "people whom we should be ashamed as our fellow Samarnons". He is a straight shooter, who shoot from the hip.

For me, Mr. Morales, sounded very well verse about the political, judicial, social and economic conditions of our home province -Samar.

I have not met him (Mr. Morales) but, I hope and pray, that he will enter into political arena in the future. I can feel in him that he has that genuine concern to transform our province where its inhabitants will have a better future. "Mr. Morales, SALUDO god ako haimo".

It's really outrageous and shameful that Calbayog's Mayor Sarmiento and his ilk continue to derail Catbalogan's cityhood application. I, for one, don't buy his argument that approving Catbalogan's cityhood will violate the Philippine Constitution specifically the equal protection clause. In my book, Sarmiento's vehement opposition to Catbalogan's cityhood is pure ENVY, simple and true. Furthermore, whether Sarmiento likes it or not, he can't stop progress and Catbalogan City will move on!

Recently, there's a hightened interest from some circles on the "who's who" of Samarnons "who made a difference" that left lasting imprints in our collective memory. But while it's true that many lives have been made bearable by their propensity to follow egalitarian ideals, the misery index as defined by hard times has always been constant if not higher than ever.

I can think of two components of the misery index, namely, the tangible and as well as the intangible portions. The former consists of the visible or actual component such as dearth of jobs, neglected infrastructure, inequality of opportunity, and peace and order in towns and the countrysides. The level of sufferings among the people due to the above conditions can hardly be quantified even without considering the intangible component of the misery index.

The later components or intangible forces are; corruption, duplicity, despair, deprivation and destitution. These are part and parcel of human nature that contribute immensely to the misery index among Samarnons. They are so ingrained in society that good meaning people such as those who made a difference can't reverse the momentum; they can only minimized the cruel impact on the suffering Samarnons.

The misery index's life's cruel reality that may never end unless more citizens join forces and begin a new era of a happiness index where peace and prosperity are no longer a impossible dream. And more people who can make a difference may come to the fore since there's always room for more.

An ungod na kayamanan hiton probinsya han Samar diri an mga kakahoyan hiton iya kagugub-an, diri an mga maaani hiton iya kapatagan, diri iton mga isda hiton iya kadagatan, kundi an iya mga katawhan nga andam maghatag han ira pinakalabi para han ira igkasi. People who made a difference of doing their best above the rest are the best. Samar is not replete of those kind of people and let me cite five individuals who are making their marks in the world:

DON MABULAY. I saw him on TV defending the defenseless forests of Samar against the might of Senator Enrile's legal team. He was effective because he was perceived to be weak. But it was that perception of weakness that made him strong. His anecdotes and jokes made him more powerful than the luminary Atty. Poblador who kept on citing provisions after provisions of law while Don was simply telling stories after stories of real people. He exemplified the kindred spirit of Samarnons in general but everybody knows that he means business when the time demands for it.

FR. NOEL LABENDIA. I knew him during our high school days at the venerable Samar National School. I knew then that he could rock boats because his principles are rock solid. When he led the charge to expose the abuses in the capitol, he did not waver. Now that the case is before the Sandiganbayan, he could be one Samarnon we could be thankful for. He stood mightily against the powers that be when everybody else just kept their silence.

PAG-IBIG PRESIDENT AND CEO ROMERO F.S. QUIMBO. I am not proud of Supreme Court Associate Justice Eddie Nachura nor of GMA's political adviser Gabby Claudio but somebody in the government whom we could all be proud is another native Samarnon Atty. Romero Quimbo. He is President and CEO of Pag-IBIG Fund. As one of the awardees for the The Outstanding young Men (TOYM), his leadership skills in making Pag-IBIG alive and kicking is exemplary. Go to his website at www.pagibigfund.gov.ph to know more about this man who is trying to change the image of a government institution long known for inefficiencies and corruption. He could be one bright light in GMA's government.

RAY GASPAY. Whatever motivates this guy is simply amazing. Having to put up a news outfit in the internet for Samar is not necessarily financially rewarding. Who would advertise in the internet from Samar when majority are still fanatics of DYMS? The unholy hours spent updating the web is taxing but this guy is not complaining. For his innovative ways in connecting Samarnons from all over the globe, he is one Samarnon we could all be proud of.

CHARO NABONG-CABARDO. She is the queen of any initiatives that is non-governmental. Her love for Samar is unquestionable. She could have been the best vice mayor of Catbalogan but people in Samar choose trash over gold. Her leadership in espousing causes considered irritating to some is one example why she is above the rest. From protecting the inland forests of Samar to protesting the government for the hellish roads in Samar, her voice is always like a sound of a gong of hope and renewal.

May we have more people like them. They are Samar's true treasures. They may be few compared to the ones I've mentioned early on as simply shameful Samarnons but let their numbers increase.

Sa mga kababayan na taga-Samar ug Calbayognon,

Kumusta na kamo ngatanan? Magpapakilala ako sa iyo. Ako si Santi Tamidles who graduated from Christ the King College in 1969 - went to teach in the hinterlands (at the heart of Samar wilderness circa 70s), moved to Manila and taught in La Salle Green Hills and then Ateneo de Manila and now here in New York, USA.

Before migrating to New York, I used to teach at Calbayog Pilot School for 7 years, at La Salle Green Hills for 4 years and at the Ateneo Grade School for 23 years - at maraming mga Samareno ang nag-aral doon. Siyempre mga mayayaman - the likes of Rosales, Mabini, Nachura, Pecson, Tuazon, Lim and the other big shots from Samar. Marami rin akong naging students from the national figures - the likes of grandchildren of Cory Aquino, mga anak ng justices, government officials, etc.

Why am I sharing all these? Nakakaawa kasi ang ating Samar kung ihahambing sa accomplishments ng ibang lugar. Bakit poor na poor ang Samar hanggang ngayon? People like us who uprooted ourselves from the poverty in Samar did have better chance to succeed elsewhere. Does it mean we forget Samar? No.

In view of this, let me know what I can do to help uplift our people. I always come home (in Marikina) every summer (summer in USA is July-Aug) to recharge myself. I can be invited as speaker to teachers' conferences. I can conduct seminars about the latest trends in education which I learned in Ateneo and now here in New York. Just let me know. I can give it free of charge. Other details will follow.

I hope in my own little way, I can share the resources I acquired through years of exposure in the field of education.
