Faces - part 1

Jeanette on Mar 18th 2007

I’ll start posting the faces of Sagunto from my collection of photos. If you know these faces, leave a comment and tell us something about that person.

Photo #1 (guess by Eva Eisma)- Leo Pascua & his lovely wife, Delia. They have two children, Leodel and Leonard.
Photo #2 (guess by Emily H) - Uncle Honesto Castillo


Photo #3 (guess by Emily H) - Jonathan Castillo
Photo #4 (guess by Emily H) - Uncle Bantor

Since these photos are from my collection, they are more than likely related to me or ran into me while I was there. So, for variety’s sake, if you have photographs to contribute, please send them to saguntophotos[AT]gmail[DOT]com.

Artacho Elementary and High School

Artacho School

Artacho School

When we first moved to Sagunto to live my my lolo and lola, they suggested we attend NLA(Northern Luzon Academy), but I had a crush at this school, so I said we’ll go here instead. Was I glad I did. I attended this school only for a short time (1st year HS, 1976), but some of my best pre-teen memories happened here. Here, I met and made lifelong friends, and even met my first ‘real’ crush ;) I remember the many programs presented on the stage, the competitions, the jamborees. I remember the teachers: Mrs. Jamandre, Mrs. Gomez, Miss Quilaman, and who can forget Mr. Estolas? For some reason, everyone remembers him as being mean and loud; I remember him most for always being around when we were snacking on green mangoes and bagoong or those little, round, red, sour things (can anyone tell me what they are called again?) with salt and sili.

What do you remember about this school? Do you have old photographs to share? I’ll have to dig up some of mine. Why don’t you do the same and share it here?
