"Isyu Sana Man!"
By Bibi Villamora
 
Nineteen ninety-eight came and is gone, and 1999 is almost midway through, it seems that my administration went by so swiftly. I guess the old maxim that "time passes so quickly when one is having a good time" remains true to form  even to this day.
     Looking back, we can all say that our organization remains a leader in innovation as we continue to blaze the trail in many endeavors. From the award winning "harong kan pobreng parasira" to the jeepney terminal that we built last year, to the Himoragat choir that we started years back, and to the Centennial Drama tribute, remains in the forefront of innovation. Iyan an pigsasabing what we call, na pag-abot sa mga bagay na iyan, kita maoo. Bilang saindong pamayo kan nakaaging dowang taon, sakuya man na onra an makaibahan kamo sa mga bagay na iyan. Salamat tabi saindo gabos.
     In as much as I wanted to run again for the Mayorship this year, I must also think about other things that might prevent me from doing an effective job as TIASCA's top dog. Kaya, nagpahunod na ako.
     Looking at the Mayoral candidates for this year's election, maski siisay duman sa duwang ito, magiging marhay na representante kan satuyang organization. Congratulations ki Steve Abiog asin ki Gil Borja kan saindang kapangganahan bilang numero uno asin dos kan TIASCA and to the other newly elected officers. More power to all of you!
     Congratulations man ki amigong Ervin Borja na maski na ngani arog kaidto si  resulta kan eleccion, yaon man guiraray an saiyang pagdamay asin pagtabang sa organisasyon. Arog kaiyan an maorag na tawo asin marhay na panalmingan. Tataong magintiendi na an eleccion guiniguibo sanaman sa sarong aldaw asin ta paka-agui kaiyan, tapos naman an boxing. The day after, poon na an pagtarabangan bilang mga ciudadanong nagmamakolog sa organisasyon. 
     Duman sa Tinambac, haloy nang tapos an eleccion segui pa an boroksingan. Kaya kon ika an Meyor duman, dai ka pa nakakabangaan sa torno mo, lanog ka nang marhay. For once, ano ta dae magtarabangan an mga Tinambaqueños pagkatapos kan eleccion para sa karahayan kan banwaan? Sa pagheling ko, kon pigpapararaot an pamayo kan banwaan sa print media or radio, banwaan man sana an pigkakastigo kaiyan. Dae ko man pigsasabi na pabayaan na sanang mag-abuso an siisay man na opisyal kan banwaan ta bilang sarong nagmamakulog na namamanwaan, obligasyon iyan. Alagad,  kon an katuyohan magraot sana man, siguro maski saen na anggulo ini helingon, sala. Maski na ngani hababa sana an inadalan ni Meyor, dae man nangangahologan na patal siyang magpadalagan kan banwaan. Isipon ta na siya an tinawan nin onra kan mga namamanwaan na mamayo, kaya tawan man nin panahon na magpaheling kan saiyang kakayahan. Total, sincero man na tawo si Itoy Velarde kaya kon puede, ceasefire ngona.

     FLASH!! The century-old icon of San Pascual Baylon was stolen from the Tinambac Parish Church sometime in the first week of July. This was the report filed  by Rev. Fr. Mario “Yoyo” Gaite to the Philippine National Police headquarters and the National Bureau of Investigations (NBI)  in Naga City last week. Both the NBI and the PNP have launched a manhunt for the perpetuators of this dastardly act. According to Fr. Gaite, exactly one month before the patron saint’s disappearance,  San Pascual’s gold-plated  halo and  Monstrance were also stolen.
       Fr. Gaite is puzzled as to its disappearance, but he did not rule out the possibility that the icon was stolen because of its value being a century-old antique.

     Si Congressmen Sal Fortuno asin Ed Pilapil nagbisita  sa San Diego  kan Julio 8 asin inatubang ninda an nagkakapera na sanang WWII veterans sa San Diego.
  With them were Zambales Congressman James Gordon III, retired Supreme Court Justice Manuel Pamaran, Commodore Lim (retired) among others.
     According to Congressman Pilapil, they are in the US on official business to meet with their counterparts in the US Congress and to lobby for support of the Equity Bill earlier proposed by Congressman Bob Filner.
