Abaknons in Canada

Canada is now emerging as one of the new frontiers for migration, as it offers a lot of opportunities to those who seek the good life, in an environment far friendlier than many other countries.

Here are pics of some of our brethren who have joined the bandwagon, as they took time to meet each other. There are the Jaos (who must one of the pioneer Abaknons in the area), the family of Eva Sauro and Emelyn Cascano-Ortego.

Editorial: A Future For Sale

Note: This post is the Administrator's take on how the recent elections went. Fair comments are welcome. From how I saw it, it was indeed an impressive election. It definitely was more peaceful than the most recent ones. Automation made the process exciting (or worrisome) but at the same time challenging. Truly, it was heartwarming to see people brave the punishing summer heat and the tiring wait just to be able to cast their votes. There is no doubt in my mind that the results reflected the Abaknons’  true democratic will. However, why they voted for whom is an entirely different issue.  I wish to think that in the final analysis, they did vote with the thought of what’s best for Capul. But even with that, any voter who receives money during election time still compromises his vote.  While I do not wish to rob the winners of the glory of their victory, I bet that the aftertaste of their win would have been much sweeter if they (again, i mean ALL of them) did not gi...

Fr. Cecil Lucero, RIP

Image
From the Administrator: He admittedly, was not the epitome of piety and serenity, as priests are expected to be. True enough, many of us became his adversaries, opponents as we were of his many un-endearing ways. But no matter what his flaws were, there still is no justification to murder most foul. Nothing righteous can ever be gained from a death so brutal, so inhuman. --------- I was scheduled to post today the pictures of the Bandal-Ortego reunion after the fiesta. But in deference to the same clan who now mourns the death of a member-son, I will postpone said posting to some other time. But I am taking liberty to post this pic of Fr. Lucero that very day. He was then very jolly, ecstatic that many of his family was in the gathering. I guess this should be the best image for us to remember him by. That very same day, he rode a helicopter with his brother and mother to San Roque. We met him there by night time at Ex-Congressman Wilmar Lucero's resthouse. He acted as a very gr...
