Loudette Avelino of Calbayog and New York, granddaughter of a famous Samarnon, Senate President Jose Avelino who ran for President of the Philippines, has been "walking" in New York to raise funds for the projects of the "Building Futures Together" foundation.  The foundation has a livelihood project helping the poorest of the poor and a reading project for the children in Calbayog.
               Below is her message regarding this year's walking for a cause to help the poorest in Calbayog.  Ultimately, the Building Futures Together Foundation may operate in other parts of Samar, such as Catbalogan or Guiuan or  Borongan or Catubig.

Countdown to BUILDING FUTURES TOGETHER
Third Annual Walk For Poverty –  Sunday, September 19, 2004

We are exactly one week away to September 19, 2004. We just returned from a  “dry run” of the path the 5K walk will take in Flushing Meadows Corona  Park.  Today was beautiful day and we are anticipating that September 19th,  will be as good if not better than today.
               For our walkers, you still have time to contact your friends, family,  officemates, colleagues seeking pledges of support for your participation in  the Walk For Poverty.  Please have your registration forms already  filled out, along with the $10 registration fee, made out to Building Futures Together, Inc. when you get to Flushing Meadows Corona Park.  And if you  have pledges collected and ready to submit you may do as as well at that  time.  The last day for the submission of all pledges is October 15.
               If you are not walking for any reason, we hope nonetheless for your  active participation in the fund raising effort by making an outright tax deductible donation to:  Building Futures Together, Inc.
              Please dress comfortably, (we are asking our walkers to wear old, torn white t-shirts) bring water if you like, and wear good walking shoes.
               We are assembling at 10:30am under the Unisphere on the side of the Queens Museum of Art. The Walk will start at 11am.  It should take no more than an hour to walk 3 miles.

 If you get to the Unisphere and walk has gone ahead and you want to catch  up, this is the path we will take to complete 3.5 miles:
                We will go once around the Unisphere circle, and exit on Avenue F (this is  a beautiful tree lined wide path).  As you come to the end of Avenue F, the  path will fork – take the left.  Cross the street (Meridian Street) and  follow the path (this would be underneath the network of expressways, etc) until  you see the park again….veer left  (you should be in an area marked Lot 6)  and you will cross a small bridge. To your right you will see the lake.…just  walk along the lake: nothing could be more beautiful and serene. This is  one of the better places to commune with nature and to get in touch with  yourself.  You will see sailboats, ducks, weeping willows. This walk  will eventually take you back to the Unisphere.
              To get to the Unisphere from the Subway:  Take the No. 7 line to  Willets Point/Shea Stadium.  As you exit, follow the signs to Flushing  Meadows Corona Park (not Shea stadium unless you want to pitch some balls). You  will walk down a long wooden ramp.  At the bottom, take the Avenue A path until you get to the Unisphere.

If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call at  718-426-9471 or email us at _build2gether@aol.com or _lavelino@aol.com.
            See you on Sunday, September 19.

To Miss Muffin, the Burak Girl:
            Thank you for giving some importance to what I wrote regarding the Catholic Samarnons' penchant for too much religious parties, through fiestas, all over the world.  The point I was trying to stress was that wealth has a social responsibility.  Just because one is wealthy does not necessarily mean that one can do with his or her wealth as he or she wishes.  Flaunting one's wealth, labi na kon looted or kinawat becomes obscene.  For those who believe in the Catholic Church, this is the message of Pope Paul VI, in his Encyclical, "Populorum Progressio".  I have copied the link below, for those who are interested and who would like to substantiate their Catholicism or their Christianity. Or kon mga pade or religious people nga diri ma-aram para mahibaro.
            I have also copied some quotations from the Encyclical.
            Miss Muffin, I am not a fanatic Catholic.  When I was a student in Diliman, I barely went to Church.  But I find it so sad that we party in 5-star hotels while our fellow believers are subsisting on garbage in Payatas or selling their bodies all over the world.
            I am wondering, it seems that our Samarnon Internet users are very fond of using aliases.  Can we not stand on what we believe in? As a matter of principle and personal pride?

<http://www.osjspm.org/cst/pp.htm>  Encyclical Letter of Pope Paul VI promulgated on March 26, 1967

To the bishops, priests, religious, the faithful and to all men of good will,
            1. The development of peoples has the Church's close attention, particularly the development of those peoples who are striving to escape from hunger, misery, endemic diseases and ignorance; of those who are looking for a wider share in the benefits of civilization and a more active improvement of their human qualities; of those who are aiming purposefully at their complete fulfillment. Following on the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council a renewed consciousness of the demands of the Gospel makes it her duty to put herself at the service of all, to help them grasp their serious problem in all its dimensions, and to convince them that solidarity in action at this turning point in human history is a matter of urgency.
            49. We must repeat once more that the superfluous wealth of rich countries should be placed at the service of poor nations. The rule which up to now held good for the benefit of those nearest to us, must today be applied to all the needy of this world.
            66. The world is sick. Its illness consists less in the unproductive monopolization of resources by a small number of men than in the lack of brotherhood among individuals and peoples
            76. Excessive economic, social and cultural inequalities among peoples arouse tensions and conflicts, and are a danger to peace. As We said to the Fathers of the Council when We returned from Our journey of peace to the United Nations: "The condition of the peoples in process of development ought to be the object of our consideration; or better: our charity for the poor in the world--and there are multitudes of them--must become more considerate, more active, more generous".[64] To wage war on misery and to struggle against injustice is to promote, along with improved conditions, the human and spiritual progress of all men, and therefore the common good of humanity. Peace cannot be limited to a mere absence of war, the result of an ever precarious balance of forces. No, peace is something that is built up day after day, in the pursuit of an order intended by God, which implies a more perfect form of justice among men.[65]
            86. All of you who have heard the appeal of suffering peoples, all of you who are working to answer their cries, you are the apostles of a development which is good and genuine, which is not wealth that is self-centered and sought for its own sake, but rather an economy which is put at the service of man, the bread which is daily distributed to all, as a source of brotherhood and a sign of Providence.

I've never been to a Katbaloganon party in my 25 years of life that i feel i must be missing a lot. It would be nice to dance the kuratsa and eat litson, don't you think?
              Cesar, consider me heartless, but i find it difficult to make any connection between Katbaloganons partying at 5-star hotels and fishermen who are living in poverty. While the thought has the potential to elicit 'kaluoy', I don't think it holds water. For one thing, doesn't anyone have the right to celebrate however he wants to? I could write on and on to defend my position, but my reserve of 'english' (and waray) words is running low. Kidding aside, i wish i have the time to devote more time on this. I hear a tiny voice calling me. Bye for now. Duty calls.
               P.S. - I read your postings on the gugma and shs websites. You got humor. I have never 'met' a samarnon who is as dedicated as you. More power. Keep up the good work.

To Ms. Liezl Sumbise:

          On the history of the Church in Catbalogan, perhaps, you can get in touch with Ms. Charo Nabong Cabardo.  She wrote a very authoritative history of Catbalogan which includes the Parish of St. Bartholomew in Catbalogan. Charo works with the SIBP. You might ask Mgsr. Max also.
          And of course, another source would be the Bishopric of Calbayog.  Bishop Palma is one of the most erudite princes of the Catholic Church in the Philippines these days.
          Why not tailor your discussion on the Church in Catbalogan with Pope Paul VI's Encyclical, "Populorum Progressio" and how the Katbaloganons all over the world celebrate the Feast of St. Bartholomew, the Patron Saint of the Fishermen, sometimes in 5-star hotels.  And yet our fishermen who are also believers in St. Bartholomew, are almost groveling in abject poverty.

        There is no point in saying that Tekwa is a "Filipino-Chinese" businessman.  He is Filipino!  Period.
        We from the Land of Mai had economic and cultural relations with the Chinese long before the Spaniards got lost in Homonhon. And yet we don't refer to the mestizos in Catbalogan as "Filipino-Spanish" or to those whose ancestors belong to the American soldiers like the Motaks, etc., as "Filipino-Americans" or those who trace their ancestry to the Arab traders in Tubig Indangan as "Filipino-Arabs".
         I think a clarification by Ricky is in order.
        Thank you Ray.  Sorry Ricky.  :)

Greetings!!!
        The phenomenal economic growth within the Philippines has seen the emergence of many Filipinos specially Orason, San Policarpio per se responding to these developments thru education where one would try themselves strive for excellence thru education.  Education per se is the root for success.
        This 1st Alumni of Pampang Elementary School would encourage all Pampanganons to forego and strive excellence as this Alumnus would be the model for their children's children.
         Thank you and may God bless you all.  I, in behalf of the Madeja's clan wish you all more power and success in life.

        Hi Catbaloganons! I've been watching the ongoing Athens Olympics. I'm astound by the greatness of the rest of the world, particularly the new powerhouses China & Japan. Hope the Philippines can catch up soon. Instead of hyping on drugs & corruption, why not put our resources & selflessness into encouraging our youth on sports? Catbaloganons & Samarnons are good people; they just need good leaders to become better, or even best.

        Bravo and thanks, Dr. Saucelo, for this insightful piece touching on a very important subject matter:  diet.  Like many, I always thought that "eating rich" was the way to stay healthy, until age began catching up with me and I also began paying more attention to my health.  It's just too bad that I can't have my fill of healthy food as often as I want to, as the simple foodstuffs like cassava, camote, and tilapia are quite expensive in the U.S.  I, however, do a lot of substitution by having vegetables in my linaga, though one could only wish he had access to tinola nga isda in these parts.  My mouth began watering as soon as I saw "sarapon" in your article, this "lowly" fish (especially pinaksiw) being one of my favorites in my younger years.  Certainly, we can't find this fish variety in the U.S., but I'm sure that if it were available, I wouldn't hesitate to load up my fridge.  Of course, tilapia is a good substitute.  Perhaps it's the longing for the simpler lifestyle and simpler food that has been pushing me to seriously consider retirement in Samar.
        Again, thanks for a very informative article.  Keep up the good work!!!

        Hi everyone. This site is really cool and so astig. I have a comment particularly ha BIR Catbalogan. They are so halimaw, at least man la unta magpapahibaro hira na magtatax mapping hira on some parts of Western Samar at least a week before kay para makaprepare muna an businessmen for their books. An kuri ha ira kay bisan ada na an libro, kuruhaun la didto ha bookkeeper ira na dayun gin-mumultahan, the least is P1000...take note P1000!!! Most of the time kinikilkilan pa nira hit usa nga grossery ha Calbayog, it dapit ha may Nijaga Park ha luyo for at least P2000 per kilkil. Ka-iro man intawon han mga gudti na negosyante.. Pipirahay na la ngani hit kita lilimason pa hit mga taga BIR. Dapat talaga mawara na ito hira. I'm supporting Pres. GMA's 10 point agenda especially the dissolution of BIR. Dugang la hira han sakit ha ulo ha amon nga mga gudti nga mga negosyante. I hope this message will awaken other businessmen in our province. Let's support for the dissolution of BIR. Mabuhay an mga Samarnon!!!
