Kastoy kayatko mangyari sana kumpleto rikado. I salute the President of Tribal Womens for a job well done. Kastoy a koma di nagmayat nga kitaen. Ala nabaliwanen ti panunot ko. Let’s do it again next year. Namaymayat to manen ta aga-awid dagiti adu nga balikbayan.
Thank you soooo much to the Sagunto Tribal Women’s Association and their President, Mrs. Estella Q. Santillano and all the people who assisted you in making this Fiesta a successful one and having a hefty surplus left over for the river cleaning. Kudos to Captain Esteban and his council members for his leadership in choosing the STWA to head this important task. Of course we couldn’t have raised all the funds without the kabarangayans abroad, all whose names are listed on the donors page. The people of Sagunto will reap the benefits of your generosity and sacrifices.
Now let’s roll-up our sleeves and start the RIVER CLEANING and BEAUTIFICATION project! God Bless to all…
this would be the POIN…when it comes to money we should be transparent and the amt. should be at the oppsite of the donor’s name, PARA ALA LUSOT!
jo, we (saguntostar.com) thought it prudent to not disclose the amount of individual donations as those individuals were not consulted prior.
If the individual amounts are important to you, let me know which donations/donors are pertinent to you and I will send you that information only. Thanks for understanding. (please email your request at saguntophotos@gmail.com)
Some of us would rather not disclose the amount we were able to donate
Wen aya ta basit met laeng gamin ti naited ko ket mabainakon kadagiti miembros ti SUKA ken SFAL nga minbabaknang da gayam ken naayayat da ti nangited ti baknang da dyay bario tayo. Isu met la a#1 da a kuna ni Elmer. Ngem ti naited ko nagapu ti puso saan yon a nga uyawen tapno addan to man ti ganas ko nga mangted no nakaobertime ak to dyay talabako.
haha! igidyo, agpadpada ta. Diak met kayat ibroadcast ti kinabassit nga naited ko
ngem syempre, from the heart nga talaga met ti pinagited ko……..urayen saan da ikabil ti nagan ko nga inikkat da idiay abong.
just kidding!!!
(it’s an inside joke referring to beth’s comment on http://saguntostar.com/?p=238#comment-5561)
Aminadoak dayta kunam Jo tapnon awan lusot. Bwaahahahha! Kitaen yo ti Artacho uray bassit laeng ket ikabil da uray lima no maurnong dakkel. But still not bad for the solicitors because they made history for the highest ever amount solicited. Long live Sagunto!!!
TIMMANAAW
sige garuden kakadwa ipatulod yon dagiti dolyares yo para ti sound system ti barangay! tapno adda napintas nga mausar
dakkel man wenno bassit pagyamananen a..
Ket no kunak man no iso nga inala ti consehales ti kuarta ta isu ti usaren da nga para ti sound system ta isun sa met ti kayet yo dita London, haan aya Mng. Judee?
Kunak a no naansweran dayta nga sound system idi naited ti STWA ti kuarta nga apan kuma manglines ti waig tayo…ibagayo met gamin a no anya a klase dayta nga sound system ken mano ti dapat nga kailangan tapno saan nga umatidog mannen. Aye! Ta no siak ti damagen yo apo, dispensaren dak laeng no pranka ak, ngem mas-importante kenyak nga malinesan ti waig ta dayta danum nga maawawan ti tubog na gapo ti kina rugit nan ti dapat tayo nga asikasoen kuma. Syempre a, sabali ti panunut ko, sabali met ti panunut yo, it’s ok…it’s what makes the world go round. But the water can feed the people, irrigate the farms and livestock, the sound system…well…anya ngarud.
Namaymayat met laeng Apo no malinisan daytoy waig tapno no agsasangpaet kayo ditoy ket addan to ti lugar nga pagtataripnongan yo (just like the good, old days, eh?). Ta ti panggep dagiti Tribal Women para iti waig ket saan la nga agpatingga iti pannakalinis na. Pamulaan da pay kadagiti kaykayo tapno paruaren na dagiti ubbog tapno adda latta danum na uray kalgaw. Kasta met nga masapul nga ma-improve dagiti salep, mapaaramid nga kasla natural nga paglalangoyan ken mapaikkan iti picnic area na. Tapno no agsasangpet kayo ket adda ditoy nga pagsangbayan yo, isu daytoy Apo tay kunkunada nga “Tourist Destination”. Daytoy ket naidakamat ken naitaratar amin idiay Project Proposal ken Feasibility Study nga mai-submit Apo idiay NCIP – NCR. Isu nga total ket nawatiwat pay met ti panawen, isagsagana yon Apo tay siping yo ta no umay kami manen sumangbay, sipapalubos kayo latta nga agited.
Such a great plan and purpose STWA! we are concentrating more on electronics/ cemented projects and everything that will last for a while and we have neglected the Nature/ our sorroundings that was abused by us human being and now that Miss Nida presented to us an overview of their proposed program/ project for the GREENing Program of the WAIG whom we dearly love since if we are from Sagunto we raised there or just visited the place we have a story about that remarkable place. we here in SS are part of your dreams and plans I know that it will take time in fulfilling your/ our dreams in the restoration of the place but you have started it now and plans are being laid and from there we could move and fulfill that dream. The Barangay Council/ STWA/ KALIPI /Sr. Citizens/ and all NGO’s both Local and people abroad let’s work hand in hand.
Again my salute and Thanks to the STWA for all the things you have done.
Kasano ngalud mula ka kayo waig dumakkel pukanen pala uging ulay tebbeg ken malunggay alamiden pay uging. Wakanga lugi tayo dito. No adda koma lipitan abong ta lipit tayo tao pukan kayo. Mas gusto ko sound system para sayaw tayo disyemle abong.
Small or big amount is Great and well appreciated whent it is used for its purpose no isu ngarud ti adda basta si aayat ka nga mangted apay ketdin ngay nga ibain mo, nagasat kapay ah ta adda maited mo, I hope you don’t get me wrong my idea is to avoid issues as one of your subscriber said kababain because anyone can read your articles, transparency make the leaders to be honest, and isn’t it we cry that and shout that to our govt. Hope you can get my point and not to laugh at it!
Jo, I do get your point and I wasn’t laughing at it. I apologize if you felt like I was laughing at you. No, I wasn’t. Just trying to add lightness to a sensitive situation. If you review my answer to your first request, I gave it with seriousness and respect. I was laughing at igidyo’s comment and not yours, let’s be clear on that.
However, I stand by my decision to not publish donated amounts here without the consent of the donors. It wouldn’t be fair to those who value their privacy just to satisfy a few.
If you would like to check whether they got your donation correctly, please contact the SWTA administrators at saguntotribalwomen@gmail.com. They also provided me with this list so if you trust me to give you the information you need, you can also contact me.
NOT ONLY FEW BUT MOST OF US…INFACT IF THIS WAS PUBLISHED BEFORE ( I don’t mean the delay of your publication but what I mean is that it should come to the knowledge of the people) MY IDEA IS COMPLIMENTS ARE DONE BEFORE CLOSING THE CURTAIN ,PARANG SINE, BAH! IF SANA, WE DO NOT HAVE THE ISSUE…TNX………WELL, I DON’T MEAN TO GRAB ANYBODY’S PRIVACY
BUT JUST TO BUILD THE TRUST OF THE PEOPLE TO THEIR LEADERS….THAT IS ALL I NEED. .. But I would luv to let u nu that I appreciate your efforts all the things we are enjoying now in SS. PLS. TAKE MY THOUGHT AS A CONTRIBUTION, NOTHING MORE…
wen nga agpayso ya watusi mayat ta palpaliiw mo apay mauging ya ti malunggay di ba no napuuran ket dapo nga sigud daytan? Isu nga mayat ngarud nga adda linteg nga aramiden to no awan pay a ti Barangay council nga mamulta ti agibelleng ti lugit ken amin nga rugit dita waig ken agpukan ti kaykayo ta isu met ti obra da garud ngem adda siguron kasta nga Barangay ordinance di laeng maipatpatungpal.
