Posting has been a bit slow here on Sagunto Star, but new topics are always cropping up in the forums. Here are a couple of new topics:
NURSES & CAREGIVERS IN JAPAN
Saguntonian Joseph Benosa along with a number of nurses and caregivers had an opportunity to visit with Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arrowo when she went to visit the training facilities at the Association for Overseas Technical Scholarship (AOTS), the first technical cooperation organization on a private basis in Japan. The main purpost of AOTS is to promote international economic cooperation and enhance mutual economic development and friendly relations between the Philippines (and other countries) and Japan.
Joseph and colleagues have been in Japan for a month now. They are presently completing a six-month Nihongo language immersion course to prepare them to work as health care providers in Japan.
Visit the forum for additional photos and videos of the visit.
SAGUNTO FARMERS IN JEOPARDY OF LOSING 2.5 MILLION LOAN
What started out as a conversation about our backyard gardens evolved into an exchange about the difficulty the Sagunto Farmers are facing in accessing the funds promised to them by Mayor Kimi. Visit the forum for the details of this story.
As of this posting, we’ve heard unconfirmed reports that the farmers now have the funds they were entitled to. Stay tuned for further developments regarding the future of the farmers when Mayor Kimi returns from her well deserved vacation.

Thanks to the most hardworking mayor of Sison, Mayor Kimi, all public schools in Sison will receive free notebooks for their students. Municipal staff are presently visiting all the schools distribute the notebooks.
In addition to notebooks, students also receive pencils from the police department, The Association of Barangay Service Point Officers in the Municipality of Sison.
The same monsoon also caused classes to be canceled in all the public schools in Sison.

Who doesn’t love a good story? Saguntonians are certainly known for their love of a good tale that, with each retelling can grow into epic proportions. Told often enough, it becomes woven into the fabric of the many myths and legends that comprise the life of Sagunto.
One such story holds the promise of being woven into that tapestry; that of the old man and the century old tree. The story is true, it’s on the Sison website, in two parts. It’s not a fairy tale exactly, but it has the makings of one.
Just beyond the gates of Pindangan Elementary school stood a hundred year old tree that has died a long time ago. Mayor Kimi gave instructions to cut down the tree at the request of school officials who wanted to clean up and beautify the school grounds.
It wasn’t long before stories about the tree seeped out and even the man in charge, Domeng, started to blur the lines between what is real and what is myth.
If you like a good story, read the story of the old man who waited for the gold inside the tree:
