Today I received an email from a Bacongnon who said that she and her friend from Manila were so impressed by the beauty of the newly painted Our Lady of Annunciation Church. She said the Bacon Church is even more beautiful and impressive than the St. Peter and Paul Church in Sorsogon City proper.

The project on the church's edifice is still going on but fast progressing. The painting of the entrance is finished. The carpenters are concentrating on roof repairs which will take a month's time to complete.Next project is the concrete fencing of the church, with the stations of the cross.
Yes, I am a Bacongnon.

1. The Water Tank project of the Central School Alumni is already completed and ready for use once the school provide the pipes to connect to the selected school locations.
2. Mayor Dioneda's administration is seem ok with some visible improvements in Sorsogon City proper.
3. However, there are unflattering views about the Mayor's personal behaviour.
4. One shining area in the city government is Lorna Figueroa who is regarded as sincere, frank, strict, dedicated and absolutely honest.
5. The image if Our Lady of Penafrancia, Patroness of the Bicol Region was brought to selected barrios in Bacon. Two significant events happened while The Lady was in Bacon which people attributed as miraculous: A very strong typhoon supposedly destined for Sorsogon changed course. That saved the province potential devastations. The second "miracle" was in the barrio of Buenavista where the various "bunuan" were devoid of any fish for 5 months until The Lady came and suddenly all the "bunuan" were teeming with galunggong fishes.

The above was a report received Aug.9 by a delayed regular postal airmail.

The report from Bacon seem to blend the factual, political and the spiritual.
thanks, New Yorker. I assume that you are a Bacongnon residing in New York?
Any report of significant improvement in the poblacion area of Bacon?
Lorna Figueroa, Congratulations. A true daughter of beloved late governor Leopoldo Figueroa of Sorsogon.
Pabayaan na natin kung ano mang personal na ginagawa ng Mayor natin basta maayos ang ating Bayan.
Syempre maganda rin sana kung ang pinuno nating hinalal ay karapat dapat respetuhin at walang makikita o nakikitang kahalayan ang mga tao.

yes I am a Bacongnon.
Thanks for the report, New Yorker. We at least have a glimpse of some happenings in Bacon.
I wish reports of this kind will continue.
I urged readers from Sorsogon City to report any newsworthy happenings in their locale.
This is a brilliant concept! Much appreciated indeed! I couldn’t wait for more updates….and to the tireless Lorna, my sincere admiration for all her efforts and outstanding attributes! Hopefully, more of the same from others --- character!
Thanks, New Yorker, for the essential contributions. They definitely give more meaning to this site. Keep up the good work!
Bacon definitely should benefit in the present political structure.
The Mayor, and City Administrator are both Bacongnons. Vice Mayor Atutubo's parents are Bacongnons too.
I will be extremely disappointed if Bacon does not have significant improvement.
It's hard to be good looking like me & the Mayor.
Too many intrigues..

Now we are getting some glimpses of Bacon.
I like to know more about the small Bacon hospital, public market, schools. Who are now using the Municipio in Basud?
Any significant improvement/problem reports from some far-flung barrios of Bacon? All we read here are only those from Poblacion. Anything from Sto. Nino? San Vicente? Sawanga? Any contributors?
Do you know that...the road from Salvacion (if I'm not mistaken) to Buhatan is near completion. I wonder if some of the people here from abroad knows about that.
Do you know that... "kuhol" is one of the main problems of most of the farmers in San Isidro, Balete, etc.?
A big round of applause and a hurray for our City Mayor...we can now pay our amilyar through our former town hall.
Some(if not most)of our local gov't. transactions (i.e. birth, marriage, death cert.; etc.) can now be accommodated at our former townhall (municipio). No need to go to Cabid-an.
Hep-hep...hurray!
Kuhol, lowly as it may seem to a lot of people, is one of my favorite dishes, specially if cooked in coconut milk. I wonder of those Balete folks have snobbish regard for my kuhol.
