Sagunto Library Up and Running

Jeanette — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:46:17 +0000

Back in January 2009, the Sagunto Library officially opened as officials from its chief benefactor, the Sagunto Friendship Association of London (SFAL), dedicated this new library to the whole barangay of Sagunto. A year since it opened, it is reported that the people of Sagunto have been taking full advantage of the library. Everyone, young and old have been enjoying being able to borrow books and have the beautiful space to read them in.

Ms. Erna San Miguel, librarian, said that when they come to return a book, they always ask if new books have arrived.

Mr. and Mrs. Robinson Digay donated a brand new printer and a box full of books for the library during their brief vacation in Sagunto last year. Slowly, other Saguntonians are also donating books to the library. If you would also like to contribute, here are some items that are still needed:

1. STORY BOOKS FOR CHILDREN’s
2. COLORING BOOKS
3. DICTIONARY
4. NURSING/SCIENCE BOOKS
+ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
+MICROBIOLOGY
+BIOETHICS
+FUNDAMENTALS OF NURSING
+MEDICAL-SURGICAL NURSING
+ MAGAZINES AND JOURNALS ABOUT NURSING…
5. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY BOOKS
6. POLITICAL SCIENCE/LAW BOOKS
7. COOK BOOKS FOR THE HRM STUDENTS
AND ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DONATE LIKE CRAYONS, BOND PAPERS, PENCILS and other books…..

THANK YOU, GODBLESS…..

That’s an amazing achievement considering there were 94,462 who attempted the test.

Amity is the granddaughter Sagunto’s barangay captain, Manuel Esteban, Sr. and daughter of Grace and Marcelo Repollo; Cyril Joy is the daughter of Rod & Eva Santillano Eisma and Leodell Pascua is the daughter of Leo & Delia Pascua. All are daughters of Sagunto. Congratulations to Sagunto’s newest nurses and their families. We are all proud of you!

Congressman Cojuangco Melts Down

Jeanette — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 02:59:55 +0000

Congressman Mark O. Cojuangco is a man of many passions. When he decides to advocate a cause, he pursues it relentlessly and takes it to heart. That’s how he is with the many initiatives he’s created to benefit the constituents in his district in Pangasinan.

As his term in congress nears its end, the congressman was still tirelessly lobbying to get his bill regarding the recommissioning of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) passed.

Whether you agree with the congressman’s vision of recommissioning the BNPP or not, his persistent advocacy and dogged determination is admirable; his passion beyond compare of the run of the mill politician. You can see how he literally takes these interests to heart as he is emotionally overcome by the failure of his bill to pass.

Pangasinan’s 5th district has been lucky to have him represent their interests in Congress. So to the outgoing Congressman, we express a heartfelt THANK YOU for a service well done. I doubt that many will argue that you left your district in a better state than you found it.
