Please be notified that the Bacon Central School Alumni Homecoming as decided by the members in a meeting held last Dec. 5, 2007, will be held on May 17, 2008 and NOT ON MARCH 24, 2008. This was due to several factors being considered and beside school children will be having their last grading exam on the week immediately after Easter.We are expecting you and your batch members usual cooperation to have our reunion be a success.
By that time we may have finished our project ( Elevated water tank with electric pump machine). This is to provide pupils with potable water any time and supply to their toilets for proper hygiene. We expext to inaugurate the said project simultaneously during the reunion to show to members where their contributions were spent.

Great.
Thanks for the announcement.
Isn't May 17 close to Bacon fiesta?
Is it still observe?
I had wanted to be at that homecoming at the originally scheduled date (March 24). It would have dovetailed my high school golden jubilee celebrations (March 22-23). Unfortunately, I could not extend my stay that long due to a seasonal business that needs my presence. I could not go in May either due to prior commitments.
And yes, May 17 is close to the Bacon Fiesta, which is on May 21. It is still observed, as far as I know.
I am heartened by the noble project for the school kids. Is there also a project for provinding the kids with sanitary soaps, toilet paper, etc. or toothbushes and toothpastes?
I like to donate if there's such a project. I need an answer(where & to whom to send.)
yhanks.
I hope this Alumni Homecoming is not just an opportunity to show off one's success but a great, noble chance to help those who unfortunately did not make it.
Thanks.
Makikiraan lang po Atty. Morato.
Ang aking komentaryo ay hindi tungkol sa Homecoming kundi para sa awiting "Bayan Ko."
Napakaraming kahulugan ang awiting ito.
Napakaganda.
Salamat Annie. Itong awitin lang ito ang nagustuhan ko sa mga nailagay mo na sa Blog.
Juan dela Cruz mabuti naman at bumisita ka uli sa website na ito.
Ang awiting iyan ‘Bayan Ko’ ay isa sa mga paborito kong pambansang awitin sapul pa ng kabataan ko.
Ang katunayan narinig ko uli ang awiting ito sa Philippine Airlines sa unang pag-uwi ko sa Pilipinas pagkalipas nang maraming taon na pagkawala.
Ito ay pinatugtog pagkatapos ianunsyo nang piloto na ang eroplano ay pumasok na sa teritoryo nang Pilipinas.
At habang pinatutugtog ang awiting ito, nadungawan ko ang maliliit na isla ng Pilipinas.
Nabagbag ang kalooban ko kasabay nang matinding kaligayahan na makita ulit ang ‘Bayan ko’.
Nang dumating na ako sa airport nawawala ang mga bagahe ko, nakuha pala nang kargador para sa ibang pasahero at para ibalik sa akin nagbigay ako ng pera.
May tumulong naman sa akin na ibang kargador na humingi nang pangmeryenda at pagdating sa check point para hindi na buksan ang mga bagahe ko nag-abot ulit ako nang pang meryenda.
Nang papalabas na may lumapit na iba namang kargador at sa himig ng pananalita n’ya siya ay nagkakawang-gawa. Tinulungan ako hanggang sa makalabas. Nang abutan ko ng pangmeryenda, ito daw ay kulang.
Naisip ko na lang, nasa Pilipinas na nga ako, ‘Ang Bayan Ko’.
How exciting. I wish I could go!
Familiar places, familiar gestures, primordial characteristics, connecting familiar names to time-touched faces, re-discovering, re-acquainting…..all to rekindle the distinct warmth and comfort of simpler life; all to revive bygone years of youthful enthusiasm, replaced by another with the wisdom of senescence…..all under an atmosphere of joyful celebration --- very enticing!
it would be really interesting to join the fun. also, the project is something to be proud of. for the sake of the pupils, hopefully, everything is moving with the delight of everybody. the secret to this is dropping all egos. celebrate the pleasure of meeting everybody, not the pleasure of finding what’s wrong with anybody so that tomorrow will be filled with happy recollection not “tsimis”. hep, just sayin’! these things happen. pilipino baga. ehem!
The Alumni Homecoming event will definitely be worth the money anyone will spend. Tolong-Gapo, bucolic locale, delicious native dishes, simple ordinary folks, people of your youth whom you wish to see again, the smell and sound and scenes of long ago will again overwhelm your senses.
Ako’y makikiraan na rin, medyo tataliwas ng kaunti sa ukol na pahayag, tulad ni Juan dela Cruz at ni Annie. Tutuong maganda ang awiting “Ang Bayan Ko”. Maaaring ikapangunot-noo ng iba, nguni’t hindi ko ito maiwasang pakinggan tuwing ako’y napapadalaw sa pulong-pulong na ito. Sadyang maayos ang pagtugma ng mga kataga at himig ng awit upang maihayag sa maikli at madamdaming pamamaraan, ang kapurian at kasaysayan ng Pilipinas. Magandang dinala at nilahad ni Kuh Ledesma ang awitin, subali’t hindi matutumbasan ang orihinal. Pinupuri ko rin ang mapaghiwatig na pagpinta ni Fernando Amorsolo.
Bagama’t ang awit ay angkop sa unang panahon ng pagparuot-parito ng mga dayuhang may mapagsamantalang layunin, tila naaangkop pa rin ito sa ibang bahagi ng kasalukuyang pamumuhay ng ating mga kababayan. Ang ibig kung tukuyin ay ang mga suliranin na sumira na sa mga kahanga-hangang pag-uugali na umiral noong kapanahunang ang mga ito’y bukod-tanging tinatangkilik. Maaaring ang kapabayaang ito na rin ang tumutulong sa mabagal na pag-unlad o pag-ahon sa maraming kasawian o pagdurusang dinaranas. Humantong din ito sa panibagong layunin ng mga dayuhang mangangalakal na nakatuon sa mayamang kalikasan ng Pilipinas. Akala ng iba nating kababayan ay “bulag” ang mga dayuhang ito at hindi napapansin ang “kapansanan” ng bagong ugaling Pilipino. “Pugad” pa rin ng “luha’t dalita” ang bayan ko.
I wonder if it is possible for Juan De La Cruz, Annie and Jenny to send their comments in the Bicol/Bacon dialect.
medio homesick na aco macabasa or macahemate can sadireng taramon lalo na an bicol. Caya ngane' nagsigurado na aco na mag ole sa Mayo tanganeng macacaon aco can mgaluto ta nan macamate naman can sadereng taramon.
I like the project for the school kids by the Alumni Homecoming.
I like to come home and attend the event. In case, I can't come for any reason, whom can I send my donation for the project?
To Re:
You have translated my Tagalog comments erroneously. Nothing in my comments, by any word, phrase, or sentence equate to your translation (1st sentence). The Tagalog version of “poverty” is not specific in my comment either. However, it could be included in the words, “kasawian” and “pagdurusa”, both of which are encompassing. Due to time constraints, I will deal with the correct translation and implied meaning of some phrases or sentences later today. I hope you’ll enjoy its entirety.
I know that children are our concern..the reason for the project.
But why change the date?
This affair is for the Alumni Homecoming.
Its project is for the children.
Hello, Re.
In fairness to the purposes of the Alumni Homecoming and efforts of Atty. Morato toward these, I will not utilize this section to elaborate further on my Tagalog comments regarding the song, “Ang Bayan Ko”. The subject you want explored demands details, and I have them, but they are lengthy. I am however, considering an article that may include your concerns. Please do not expect this to be posted anytime soon because there are other contributors and I have just submitted two articles within a short period of time; or, I may completely forego the subject matter I have in mind and pursue others. Also, my schedule may prevent me from visiting this site. Meantime, you might want to focus your remarks on other posted articles and comments. Have fun with the others as well.
By the way, have you considered submitting an article? Or have you done it already, but for some reasons, would just prefer not to be identified when posting your remarks. If not, and you decide to submit one, you would have no choice but to identify yourself to Annie, the blog administrator. I am not sure if you want that. I still hope you will consider writing an article and not limit yourself to posting comments. Diversity, variety is interesting.
Hello Annie,
thanks a lot for deleting my comments. I thought you like America because in America they give you freedom, lots of freedom like freedom of speech. On the other hand you do not practice it and you just censor critical comments to those American quotations you are proud to present to the visitors of your blog.
In this website, you may invoke your freedom of speech if you are not cloaked in annonymity, if you are not also afraid to give your name and take the responsibility of your words. If you are annonymous, you forfeited that responsibility to the website administrator's who deems it wise not to publish it.
re & anonymous are one & the same.
give it up re or anonymous, whoever you are. freedom requires responsibility w/c i think you do not get. responsible comments and/or applicable, related quotations are posted to apply to certain events that may be covered by or related to essays posted in this site & to give more emphasis to principles behind these events. the quotations do not have to be about the person quoting the words, or your much hated nationality. but then again all these require a person with better understanding & definitely a polite personality.
