MERVIN RUBIO ( mg_rubio@yahoo.com ) Ak-kaw galing!

Mervin is close friend so I guess this is biased. We're friends since Menudo was hip. He's a Baler local and works in this satellite thing in Ortigas or Makati.

 

ang ganda! talagang ginastusan ang kubo este suman
festival anu?

MARYJANE CASTILLO ( maryjanecastillo@hotmail.com ) I love it! I've seen a jillion websites, this is one of the coolest.

Of course! That's also from an old friend, from whom Mervin and I borrow Menudo tapes. She's from Quirino, Maria, Aurora. She's in the USA earning jillions of dollars.

ANONYMOUS  What can I say? .... hands down... I love it...love it...love it... I just love everything in this website from the pictures to the diaries...thanks for the pictures...they're all beautiful...and the stories about Baler...hey that's Baler what can I say?

You've said it baby! If you only told who you are I would have sent you a ton of "ilas" and a bucketful of "ibobug". Congratulations for being the second person to love this site. Next to maryjane who fell in love only once, but you loved it four times.

SIENA ONG NATE.  Good Job!!! This is really a wonderful site for everyone from Baler to see... it let the citizens of Baler who are out of the country know what's up and current....Baler should be proud & thank the creator of this website for all the effort he's giving.

I'm not dreaming of becoming the Bernie Rada of the Internet. I knew Siena since she was 20 inches tall. I was an elementary friend of his Kuya Ronald and we used to climb their balimbing near the Capitol, pretending we were monkeys. It's good to meet her again through this Internet thing. She's now living in the USA.

RIC VINCENT FERNANDO ( rvsf@yahoo.com )A big WOW!!! It's great and you're really a genius. This site is much exciting than aurora.ph. I'll take a look on the book "Apocalypse Now" you're trying to have. I'm not promising but if my pocket fits on the prize of the book I'll buy that for you.

Also coming from a good friend, a former school mate, a former office mate, and a fan. Vincent is from Suklayin near the Caledian portion and now works in Singapore. It's my purpose to be more exciting than aurora.ph, in fact i made this website because i was bored of aurora.ph. And i'm still dreaming of the Apocalypse books.

 

The first time I logged here I enjoyed the pix, but I appreciate much of the articles you've written. Read it and you will say...meron pala non sa Baler? Mabuhay ka KIDLAT!!

There, you leaked my Indian name.

 

Kidlat..congrats to all the awards & applause you achieved..you deserve it mate! see you in baler this 3rd wk.april...invited ka pre sa B-day ng 2nd baby ko sa maria.Sama mo si Kolog para partner at utol metz.

Sounds like i won a nobel prize. He's talking about this website being chosen as SITE OF THE WEEK by Tanikalang Ginto, a directory website of Filipino Sites.

GILBERT P. RUBIO ( gprubio@yahoo.com )Small drink drink, small broken. The saying of your grandfather, Ka Andres Gonzales, alias labot.

That revealed my geneology. Mr. Rubio is a relative, my Uncle really. He's my father's cousin but we never really met. It's true that the Web can bring families together. Mr. Rubio is in the USA somewhere near DC.

EDISON LAPITAN ( edsl@hotmail.com ) Byutipol...bakit walang pix sa Bogno?

Vincent's high school classmate. Definitely from Buhangin since he's feeling nostalgic about Bogno. I'll probably recall who this guy is when I see him personally. Can't wait.

 

What can I say... you're a champ!!! The site is very informative and your innovative ideas certainly strenghten the spirits of Aurorans. More power and good luck.

Now i'm a Jollibee hamburger.

POPPO OLAG  ( olags@comcast.net ) This website rekindles my memories of Baler, the land of my birth, and the most beautiful spot on earth, a Shangri-La never imagined.

Baler's no.1 lover, Olag Zelasnog. This ancestor of mine remains as one of the great blessings of the Internet for me. I knew his name since high school and I never thought that he really exists. Until I found him, or he found me.

Don't forget to post the stories I gave. They were intended for the people of Aurora province to know how our province existed.

HELEN VELUZ MCLELLAN  ( helenmclellan@hotmail.com ) Wow...very nice website...like all the news. Anyway my name is Helen. I am originally from Dipaculao, Aurora. I bet you know my sister. She is one of the announcer in the radio station in Baler. Her name is Evelyn Calugtong. Say hi from me.

You bet. I used to be a DZJO tambay and I know Avet. I met her since I read this message and the HI has been forwarded.

OLIN DUASO ( olinalon_surf@yahoo.com ) Panalo!!! Maganda ang bigayan dito!!! Obra din kaya akong mag kwento ditu? Paritu na kayu at makipag oronan...

Olin is an original Buhangin boy and should be credited for keeping the surfing spirit alive in Baler and not Pres. Arroyo as she claims. If you can tell stories as good as your Uncle Olag, your "orons" are definitely welcome.

L. GONZALES  Thank you Mr. J. Gonzales for those wonderful pictures of my/our hometown.

Your welcome. I wish you can tell more about yourself. Maybe you can start with your full name, my relative.

ELLA FRIGINAL  ( no1else49@hotmail.com ) hahaha...mali pala yung una kong mail, but just the same, I want to greet my friends namely.... ha! ganda nga, c jo-an kidlat, shake hands kayo, sya yung nag-iisang amerikana sa email ko na frequent visitor daw nitong site mo na maganda nga.

Ella is my PR manager. She's responsible for directing most of the traffic in this webpage and i owe her a super supreme pizza. She's from Dilod and works in a big newspaper company, he he.

 

Oi! Kidlat, I want to tell you that I am responsible for some emails here, kaya bayad na ako sa yu! Kaw yu still owe me sumthin! Call me when you get here, ask our art director for my number, ciao.

Sige magpa-deliver ka na at ako ang magbabayad. Our art director is Metong who works at some show in GMA.

TINTIN B  ( avalanche995@yahoo.com ) Very well written articles!

Ella told me who she is but I forgot the whole name. Also stateside. I'm not really proud of my writings. But whenever you see wrong spellings and revolting grammar, blame my English teacher.

LELENG CABLING, JR  ( perzprescy@aol.com )Congratulations! This is the best means of info about our hometown. I could not compare our beautiful beaches & abundant natural resources in any place in Europe. Keep up your good work. Okey ba p're...

Thanks. OK p're. Me too, I could not compare our place to any country. Maybe because I've never been to any other country. Hell, I've never been to Obligacion.

 

Binabati ko ang bumuo/nagsikap upang mapalapit ang mga magkakababayan na nagmamahal sa Aurora. Ipagpatuloy at palawakin pa sana ito. Iwasan sana ang mga komentaryong (guest) may mapapangit at maanghang na salita. Mabuhay kayo!..

Salamat uli. Katuwaan lang talaga ang pinagsimulan nito. Siguro ang binabanggit mong masasamang salita ay yung sa Aurora.ph. Sana burahin ng webmaster. May naliligaw din na ganun dito pero binubura agad. Para masaya.

ZERLENE FERNANDO ( zerlenefernando@yahoo.com )Kumusta ka na Kidlat? Kumusta na rin ang iyong isparing partner na si Kolog? Ano na ngay-un ang pinagkakaabalahan ninyong dalawa?? Sige balitaan mo na lang kami dito.

Zerlene is the other half of Vincent and we used to live in the same house in Reten back in college. Kolog is my friend Joseph Morada and about your question, Ellyn, his answer is CHICKS!

RAYMOND ZUBIA  Ang galing mu boy. Limut ku na kung kailan ku kayu huling nakatsismisan. Dagdagan mu pa itu ha.

Another one of my long lost acquaintances. Emon, i think is somewhere in the mideast. I saw him last Christmas break but he never saw me.

REAGAN PALISPIS ( feveroti_rgz82@hotmail.com ) Am putaeres ay...ayus bok...pwede na....

Aku na naman Bob!!! ayus na ayus!!! galing bok... musta kala ka seleb, ka willy at yeh-yeh??? bok sama kami sa nxt generation ha!!! 

Announcement for freedom bar gig was deleted. Reagan is in this band of Baler and San Luis kids called Bonog Fever. They perform at Freedom Bar and Music Museum.

RAMIL BITONG  ( bitong_89@hotmail.com )It's great. Good that we now have high tech advertisement of our beloved town.

Thank you, sir! But I'm not advertising baler. I'm just telling that it exists.

LADIGRACE  AWESOME SITE!!! APPLAUSE FOR THE CREATOR!

My God, I can really hear the clapping!

MAGANDANG YMAY ( ymay69@yahoo.com )Hayop! Iba ka talaga kidlat. La akong masabi. Simple pero rock. Yaan mo ipapakita ko kay Mamang itong gawa mo. Lalo na siyang bibilib sa iyo. Gud Luck!... Merry X-mass na lang see you un Baler. I-feature mo naman yung mga pintasero at pintasera ng reten.

Magandang Ymay is Ymay Calugtong, who still lives in Reten my old street in Sampaloc.

Ayus na kidlat, sabi ko sa iyo ay bilib na naman si Mamang sa iyu. Tambay na rin siya sa aurora.ph.

NEIL FRANCISCO ( apeapox@worldnet.att.net ) blah blah.... the most impressive Baler website I've seen! great job!!!

Neil Francisco is in the US. Of course this is the most impressive because there are no other Baler website.

Sa nagset-up ng website: paano mo nagawa ito? akala ko ba walang telephone line sa Baler?

Akaw, madami nang telephone line sa Baler. May PLDT, PT&T,RCPI, Smart. Pero walang Internet. Kaya sa uway ko pinapadaan ito. Ang bilis p're, broadband.

 

I don't think this is a "chat" area but i'll leave my message anyway: joseph - i don't think i know you but you are "o-sam". I'll get you your book as much as possible. I'll email you too. Please say hi to my lola binday aragon.

Where are  my books? Sigi ka baka ka ma-kongkong! Get me "Notes on the Making of Apocalypse Now" by Eleonor Coppola. I already have  "The Apocalypse Now Book" by Peter Cowie courtesy of Poppo Olag. I deleted them on my About page. Just send it to Aurora State College of Technology, 3200 Baler, Aurora. 

 

Thank you for putting the pictures up! parang nagbakasyon ulit ako! thanks again!

Neilpogi is talking about the Aurora Suman Festival pictures.

dito na lang tayo sa walang nag-aaway! by the way

Thanks again Joseph for the new pictures. They were..umm..how do i say this...very inspiring (for their guts) and...troubling at the same time! lol :)! thanks again

about my generation 2 concert

How come there are less people here, when this site is far better than the other one. there's no fighting here to begin with.

EMIL DUASO  ( rottiemil@yahoo.com ) Keep up the good work! Nice site!

Thank you. Good work = heaven?

ENOD BUEN ( reynold.buen@phl.xerox.com ) Kidlat ayos itung ambag mo. Ipagpatuloy mo. Panalo ito.

Talagang mahilig kayong mag tong-its dyan sa project 4, ano? Subukan nyo sa gamenagame.com, may online tong-its.

DANNY KABIGTING  ( dlkabig@hqcnsg.navy.mil ) Great stuff in here. I plan to visit the Philippines in September this is a good start to get a closer look at Quezon Province. I was always fascinated about this place and yet never set foot on its soil. Looking forward to it in 8 months!!! Thank you!!

Thank you too. But Baler is not in Quezon anymore. Baler is in Aurora Province. It's been that for 23 years now.

ERIC FRIGINAL  10. Hafta be guilty, that abby award in high school was not as perfect! 9. Need to admit: Larry McMurtry! 8. When are we gonna start to get the golg about how we called us the 'grabbing hands?' 7. Hazel 6. Precy + sandcheeze et. al. didn't have sound (unlike the chickensound!) 5. Boek's blue sunvisor 4. Ms. montes' "geometry song" 3. First ever photo shoot unsuccessfully not reaching Dicasalarin with a-ha dreams and "the adventurers".

Of course we all know eric. Check his webpage in my menu. These thinga are all inside stuff. If you can relate to these things, you're a soul mate.

ROMMEL ESPINOSA  ( rgespinosa_12@yahoo.com ) Igan, isang napakaiging bagay na aku'y nagkaruun ng pagkakataung mahalungkat ang iyong website, paumanhin na laang at sa tinagal tagal mu na itung ibig kung makita ay ngay-un laang naisakatuparan.

Metz home is in Kabiran and he works as the art director of Sis and that Michael V thing on Channel 7. He he.

BFM ( rhobel2001@yahoo.com ) I'M VERY PLEASED TO SEE ALL OF THE FACTS AND PLACES ABOUT AURORA.GREAT AND FANTASTIC ESPECIALLY THE BEACHES.

Did you know that AMCO beach resort is not located on a beach. It's located near a river.

JUN OF ORLANDO FLORIDA ( rgajr@usa.net ) Good job, great work. Being a BatangBaler myself, it will keep me updated on what's happening in a place I will always go back to.. the land of my birth.

Florida is where neon go to retire. 

A KID FROM 328 GOMEZ ST. I left Baler when I was 15 yrs. old (in 1986) and never been back since then. I just want to thank you for creating
this website the pictures you've provided to your visitors are incredible the views are breathtaking! I truly miss my birth place.

For a moment there I thought Freddy Kruger visited my website. So its Gomez St. not Elm. I like Gomez St. there's a gasoline station there that didn't change looks since the seventies. I'm sad now they they closed it. 

ERROL DEL ROSARIO ( iflysolo94@aol.com ) Kamusta sa lahat ng kababayan ko. Ang galing talaga ng tiga baler. I'm so proud and overwhelmed. sa mga kakilala ko email nyo ako.

Named after a 60's Hollywood star, Errol Flynn now stays near Hollywood.

RUST ( russ79ph@yahoo.com ) Nakikiraan din. Pwede ka bang mahalin. hah, hah, hah!...

Pwede la-ang.

ED FONTANILLA (meridian gamefarm) Well, I am surprised about this. I wish my nephew Arnel Dulay tahnak you for sending this website. I will keep in touch.

Hmmm...Batangbaler....keeping you in touch (nice copy but not original).

NESTOR TE  (nestor.te@creo.com ) Baler is one of the best towns in the Philippines. It is very clean and the people are very friendly. The foods are all fresh specially the seafoods and the fruits. I enjoyed the picnic the most because of the kamayan in the banana leaves that everybody is eating....(message cut)

LONGLONG  kidlat!!!!ako to! outdoors heeeeeelooooooo!!!!!

Last words of Ron Soriao before he was impounded at the PMA.

MICHELLE QUERIJERO GUERRERO ( mayelle15@yahoo.com) This website is soooooooo goood!!!!

BADONG AT NINA  Ang galing mo! more power!

AGNES P. MAGCALAS  ( amethyst51@hotmail.com ) I enjoyed reading all emails from our townmates. I missed Baler so much.

ALAIN S. CALDERON It;s a nivce place we have here in our land. You guys have to work for more so we can bring to the world how nice Philippines is.

Kuya Joseph, ok yung My Gen 2 na gawa mo... i would never had imagined kung ano na ang itsura nila kung walang pics. Tnx.

Kuya Joseph, sana from most recent ang sequence ng guestbook mo! Ang hirap kasing dumaan pa sa lahat ng nagsign bago mo ma-view yung pinaka latest.

Galing! Sana may audio rin para napakinggan ko si Alvin...

To all Batch '73, Mt. Carmel High, this is Jimmy Bautista calling all of you for a Class Reunion in 2003 in Baler. Please reply by return email: bautista@unhcr.ch - my official e-mail at the United NAtions Office in Geneva.

Pero in fairness uli...ang ganda! lalu na ung kay duaso d surfer? galing! clap! clap! clap! pero ung audio ha. i don't just want to see or feel Baler....i want to hear Baler!

This is better than the previous one. Mas interactive. Sinusubaybayan ko to e :-) Best regards. God bless.
