September 2003

facility that you can use!!!

Update on the World Bank/Logo Find-funded Bulabud school.

The month has just started but there is already several updates for September. In the home front, Malinao is sure busy this month. First there was the mapping of Malinao's coordinate by NAMRIA ( National Mapping Resource and Information Agency), then, there was the blessing of Sally Inuman-Thornton's fishpond in Sapi-an, Capiz. Then on September 10, Malinao conducted a seminar on Barangay Justice, an important part of justice system in the Philippines because this is the first organized body that could resolve conflict at the barangay level.

Elsewhere in the Malinao universe, a poignant article of remembrance about our kasimanwa, the late Hector Tamayo, who perished in the World Trade Center attack in New York two years ago, appeared in the September issue of Filipinas Magazine. The article was written by Debbie Yabut Rino who is the daughter of Ng Claire Yabut-Rino (who in turn is the daughter of Tay Rodul and Nay Babing Yabut). Tay Rodul used to be the supervisor (or I think he was a superintendent of the Aklan district) of the Malinao school district while Nay Babing was an elementary school teacher (I think in Tambuan).

Hector is the son of Tay Binoy and Nay Mansing Rogan. Tay Binoy used to be our Mr. Buzon, err, town postmaster. Our family is close to their family because Ng Elna (their eldest) is my mother's goddaughter. So Ng Elna is my igsoon.

Debbie on the other hand as far as I can determine (well actually, Rod Yabut gave me the information) basically is related to Hector because Hector's lola is Tay Rodul's sister. Gumankon ni Ng Claire si Hector (Hector is Ng Claire's nephew), but I am lost now how to compute the relationship betweeb Debbie and Hector by Malinao's computation. I think they're like second cousins.

At anyrate, today is September 11, and our prayers are with the family of Hector and Tay Binoy. Here's a scan of the article entitled Sad September. Debbie, if you are reading this, I know that it must have been hard for you to write the article, because of the horrible subject, but good job, nonetheless, Debbie! It's a wonderful and loving tribute to our fallen relative and also it really showed in your article how family is important in our lives, as Filipinos and as Malinaonons in the diaspora. (I just wished Malinao was mentioned in the article somewhere, but I am being petty :-)). Thank you!!!
