Sison Website Updates

Jeanette on Apr 4th 2008

The Sison official website was down for a few days last week as you regular visitors may have noticed. It is with great relief to see that it is back up again and with new and interesting tidbits from Sison.

Mayor Kimi's B-Day Party

As announced here earlier, our honorable Mayor Kimi celebrated a birthday in March and in her truly generous manner, she celebrated it with her constituents who give her the greatest joy, the children! Read about her party, complete with the Jollibee mascot, at the Sison website.

Mayor Kimi also presided over the Day Care Graduation Rites in Sison’s Sha-La Hall. I am sure these young graduates will never forget their ascent into grade school.

Finally, an enlightening article on how Sison is viewed by returning expatriates was written by Sagunto’s very own Janet Abat Barajas, sister of James Limley (Bagtang): Sison is No Longer a Little Village in the Philippines.
