A Letter From Julie

Dear mga Tagabungtod,
How could I keep my silence here when I know every person mentioned in this site. I was also one of the tagabungtod. I finished my elementary at Nabunturan Central Elementary School and my high school at NPHS "probinsyal". Ka batch nako sila Luz Pedroso, Recto Bote, Isabelo Navales, Esterlita Lumanas, Vilma Bandong and her brother Freddie sa elementary ug HS. Luz is my best friend. I also know most of the people in Nabunturan, mga dato ug pobre. Of course I know Annie Diva and her mother Mrs. Diva, Mrs. Amatong, Mrs. Abanto, Mr. & Mrs. Paculanan, Mrs. Birondo, Mrs. Ador ( the two Cesars , Birondo and Ador are my classmates in elementary). Mrs. Tulio (among principal sa una sa HS), etc. Daghan pod ko kaila sa mga taga Assumption kay pirme ko sa simbahan ug close family friend namo ang mga Dacuno. I have a vivid memory of Nabunturan kay dinhi namatay akong papa and a younger brother.
Ako tong bata nga tig-lukdo ug saging nga dalahon sa canteen diha sa central on my way to school. Kung Sat and Sun manuroy pod ko ug nilung-ag saging diha sa palengke, sa terminal ug uban pang suok sa poblacion. Life was hard then. Maayo nalang kay nanigkamot ug mi-asenso pod gamay akong kinabuhi.
I am here in Davao City working with Del Monte Fresh Produce since 1970, after high school. Luyo sa akong mga pangingkamot kay unta maka gawas pod sa laing nasod sama sa akong mga classmates, the winds were against me at the time when I am still highly productive. Seguro mao pod akong kapalaran nga mo serbisyo gyud sa atong yutang natawhan.
I earned college degree after marriage thru hard work. Then I went thru graduate school. I am happily married to my co-employee and we are blessed with two sons now a dentist and an engineer, both are on their own. I am so happy to be able to find this site which I claimed to be a part of tagabungtod family.
I still visit Nabunturan from time to time kay naa man mi gipamaligya nga residential lots diha sa dati namong gipuy-an diha sa Veneracion property sa dili pa maka-abot sa sementeryo, duol diha sa rice mill. My husband was given the SPA by the heir of Veneracion.
Dako gyud ug kahimuan ning "tagabungtod" kay ma update man ta sa mga tao ug paghitabo sa atong pinalangga nga lungsod. Thanks to Trino Tirol who took his time and worked hard for this.

(Ed Diva was a classmate during our elementary years. He is the eldest son of our Grade II teacher, Mrs. Paz Diva. She was one gentle teacher who did not have any streak of violence in her. Buot pasabot, dili mamunal ug dili pud mangusi bisan si-aw mi kaayo. What I remember most about her is that she cried and cried the whole day when the news came out that President Ramon Magsaysay died in a plane crash in Mt. Manunggal in Cebu on March 1957. In my innocence and because of the grief she showed, I thought she was related to that someone named Magsaysay. Ed's father was also a very gentle, soft-spoken and handsome fellow who I believe was a preacher.
Ma'am Diva is shown in the class picture on the right side of this blog. Eddie is not in the picture. Tingali the school administration found it improper that Ed should be in a class which is handled by her own mother. Naa pa'y delicadeza sa unang panahon, no? Ed is one of the smartest boys in our batch. He finished high school sa "probinsyal" and completed his engineering degree from the University of San Jose-Recoletos in Cebu. --tgt)
