the Asinganian, no. 2

HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED...
Our best friends are those we met during our Elementary and High School years. Remembering our town is remembering our good friends with special fondness...

....Anybody can print a newsletter, but it takes more than money and time to put out a GOOD newsletter. It demands dedication, love for the craft ( writing ) and love for what you are writing about. In this case, it is Asingan....Asingan signifies the happiest times of our lives, especially the years of our youth. Our best friends are those we met during our Elementary and High School years. Remembering our town is remembering our good friends with special fondness...To many of us, we started feeling our love for Asingan after leaving it. After getting married, Miggie and I stayed in Los Banios Laguna. It was then that I started writing about Asingan as a Correspondent for the Philippine News Service ( PNS ). My first article published was about the oldest living man in Asingan ( he is dead now, RIP ) an elder member of the Cardinez family. He claimed he saw Jose Rizal moments before he was executed in Bagumbayan ( now Luneta )...I wrote many stories about Asingan until PNS was padlocked after the declaration of Martial Law... In my opinion, if you love our town intense enough to do something for her, then you are a real Asinganian in the highest sense of the word. It is someone who feels proud and happy he/she came from that small town in the heart of Pangasinan. For smallness can become greatness and greatnes can also become smallness..It all depends on what you really are deep inside you...vdc
