Esteban Home Destroyed by Halong
Jeanette on May 21st 2008
One of the oldest families in Sagunto, headed by our Barangay Kapitan Manuel Esteban Sr., lived in one of the oldest and grandest homes in Sagunto. Sadly, that landmark was badly damaged by typhoon Halong as we posted previously.
The Esteban Family expresses their profound gratitude for the generosity and benevolence they received from their neighbors and friends who came to the aid of their mom and dad in their time of need.
From Xander:
We would like to express our deepest thanks to all of you who helped us with everything from that devastating typhoon that ruined our house. To Mng Jun who was there immediately that night helping dad from moving stuffs. To Mng Huling and Mng Pabling for being there all day everyday. the tanods, neighbors, friends and relatives, I can’t name you all. Agyaman kami la unay! To Mng Merida Campos, manang thank you so much for letting us stay in your house for the mean time, we really appreciate it.
Saan mi nga malipatan ti daytoy nga tiempo nga panagdanggay yo kadakami ket ipateg mi la unay ti ayat yo nga inkay inparikna. God bless to all!
From Paz & Vic:
ROMANS 8:28 ” AND WE KNOW THAT IN ALL THINGS GOD WORKS FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM, WHO HAVE BEEN CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. ” It was a distressful news ti immay kaniak sunday a.m plus MMS from my mng Elmer & mng Pong. Aye! ti rikna ti adda ti addayo… Praise & thank GOD ta pulos piman nga awan ti napasamak ken Dad & Mom with little Zaru. Inspite iti napasamak saan mi nga ma-contain ti ragsak ti puso mi ti grace ni LORD ta inaramat na dakayo amin nga timmulong ken nakipagrikna kadakami. To our beloved Kabarrioans, Mga Tanods, Relatives, Friends, Mng Jun Castillo, Mng Huling, Mng Pabling, Ayyang, Mng Merida Campos nga addaan ti nagimbag nga puso nga nang-open ti balay na nga pagyanan ni Dad ken Mom, amin..amin kayo nga awan labas. Aye nga talaga… in behalf of Dad, Mom, dagiti kakabsat ko ” AGYAMAYAMAN KAMI APO KADAKAYO AMIN. DIYOS TI BUMALIS TI AYAT YO A NAPIGGIS… ” TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Babot, you are asking the roving reporter to take shots around…he said yes, when he gets special batteries for the camera today. He was still fuming at the damages done on his crops, and he can’t work coz his job requires electricity–electronics repair…poor guy. He said that lots of crops in the fruiting stage have been damaged including the tomatoes of the tribal org.; good they had returns already in their ampalaya. There are just selected few to be given assistance on roofing, and the big majority won’t be receiving what is required for repairs. We’ll see what we could do, won’t we? I toured the recycle stores here yesterday hoping I could find any working generator to send, but there’s nothing cheap around. You know that even my student Gen co. manager tells of diesel engine shortage even in Japan that’s why they can’t meet the high demand of generators anymore. A lot were supplied to China and other countries recently experiencing calamities. I think a generator would cost around 28 K pesos? Gee!
Anyway, let’s wait for the pics.

And you know, it’s enrolment season soon. Artacho Elem kids enrolment is from June 2 to 5, opening on June 9. With all these damages and now come education expenses and uniforms, OMG , I wonder how parents could cope with these challenges. Rolly will be going around later to take pics especially of the damages on houses and crops, and will interview as well how much those affected families would need to repair some of the damages. Just maybe, generous hearts here could be moved to drop some of their casino budgets to Sagunto folks? hakhakhak! As for my sushi funds, I’ll just eat bread for breakfast for months to be able to buy a mini generator for them , arrrgh! Or else, life wont go on …hay buhay!
