Bandilyo Abaknon

Here's another family reunion held at the Kowloon House in Quezon City last December 27. Photos sent by Gregory Bejar.

Let me just catch up on my blog postings. Many greetings were sent to me last Christmas but since I was in Capul enjoying my time, and of course, the internet connection was not as efficient, I was not able to attend to my Bandilyo chores. Here's one from the Mr. & Mrs. Mike Romero (nee Lorna Marzol) and their daughters, plus a pic of their house adorned with christmas lights.

The Parish Pastoral Council of St. Ignatius of Loyola Parish, Capul, N. Samar has allotted a portion of its fund for free medicines for the less fortunate brothers and sisters in the Parish.

These two guys, or "hunks" as the sender of this pic described them (he he), tour the world for free - as seafarers, of course. They are now on board the M/T Arctic and this phot0 was taken when they were docked in France. Al is an officer of the ship as 2nd Mate while Jay is an AB. Al is the son of Mr. & Mrs. Andong Manalo (wife: Tersing) while Jay's parents are Mr. & Mrs. Rustico "Tikoy" Blasquillo (wife: Mercy).

This may come a little late but allow me feature just the same the photos I took during the semi-final game between Catch 08 and EGM. Catch 08 eventually became the champions in this season's Abaknon Sports League tourney.

For the past five New Year's Eves, the residents of the Tangnga area at the Capul Poblacion consistently held street parties, as a display of their camaraderie and friendship. This year was no exception. In fact, it turned out, as most of the regular participants said, to be the liveliest and rowdiest ever. Needless to say, the entire neighborhood and their guests had a great time. See these pics as proof.
