Hello Munting Nayon

Thanks for sending me this Newslettter and i am happy to read some news from our country Philippines.

Regards..

Flora

I find your articles truly informative, either articles from The Netherlands - which I have been missing since I left in 1974; articles around the globe, and in particular the articles from back home - never been back since I left in 1971 and I am sure that significant changes and improvements have occured since then.
thanks so much and greetings to all

Thank you for sharing the news about our countrymen in that part of the world. IT is always wonderful to know that Filipinos are doing wonderfully well.
Hope someday we will have an opportunity to meet.
Regards and God bless everyone.

Am so proud of you cause in your busy life in the netherlands, you really find time to connect us, the filipino people around the globe and advocates of goodwill by circulating very good , positive , inspiring, encouraging , up to date and heart -warming news about the filipinos and the Philippines. this way, Our country image is uplifted and not only those disappointing and more often "nakakasirang" balita about our country are being being by other groups. what you're doing is a very noble act cause i beleive, kung tayo na Pilipino, di magmalaki sa sariling atin, sino pa ang mag-aangat sa atin at sa ating bayan. Isang lahi lang tayo at iisa ang ating bansa.

More power and god bless all of .you

Hello there Mr. Eddie Flores of Munting Nayon Publication online, Netherlands.
I read a comments of Mr. John Van Laar of Ontario, Ca.who is married to Ms. Corazon of the Philippines.
May this note reach his attention because I needed assistance to any Rotarian for the ongoing Water and Sanitation project for the entire Barangay/community in the Philippines.
This project is funded by the Rotary Club International and USAID with the amount of Php. pesos 100,000,000.00.
I would appreciate that the community I visited will be a beneficiary of the this project, for their source of drinking water is not safe since it is taken along riverbank and potentially endangering lives for possible bacterial/varial contamination, especially during rainy season with frequent flooding.
I pray that beside's the Rotary International Water and Sanitation project we may share bountiful blessings we are having right now by sponsoring some of this children who graduated from high school to take, technical/vocational and skilled training for them to enter the workforce already equipped and tooled.
Training in: culinary; namely, cooking, baking and pastry making; sommelier/waitering and housekeeping; butchers, welders and mechanics and electricians and etc short term but effective and useful for this poor children in the hinterlands.
God bless, Mr. Eddie Flores and for Mr. John van Laar if by opportunity you may come accross on this message in behalf of the farming community in; New Ilo-ilo, Kidapukan, Pangantukan, Bukidnon, Mindanao, Southern Philippines.
Thanks

Thank you so very much for your generosity. I look forward to hearing from you.
Your publication is such a treasure.

Mr. Ed Flores

What a buffet of news. It covers all types of subjects. I like the K.I.N.A.L.A.S.A.N movement. I thought the name was appropriate, catchy with a little sense of humor.

Bonifacio Lomotan Sr. is my baptismal godfather and he is married to my auntie, Gregoria Calalang (my father's first cousin)

Bonifacio Lomotan Jr., the person you mentioned in your comment is therefore my second cousin.

Their family and our family stay close with each other.

I can tell you more, but in a more private way.

Thanks for inquiring.

dear editor,

Greeting from Houston Texas.

I'm really amazed that you have a vibrant Filipino community in northern Europe. When my wife and I took a Rhine river cruise three years ago, and we were going through these countries, I was wondering if I could meet Filipinos. All the while, you are all there. It was just a matter of good fortune to get me bumping upon any one of you. hehhhehhe

I enjoyed immensely reading the articles, including from the archives.

Thank you for sharing with me your life in the land of the Vikings.

Lope

dear editor

am very impressed with the stories you've got.

is your magazine also printed or just in the website? mine is actually just my own effort and published under the ausdpices of the polo-owwa. it is mainly for the filipinos in tripoli who i hope will open up their eyes and minds to the ideal of being filipino. i dont know if am succeeding but am trying my best. incidentally am a nurse so i hardly know anything about writing either except keeping my grammar coherent.

can i possibly use the stories you sent me?

incidentally can you include an annnouncement that the chong hua hospital school of nursing graduates 1975 would like to celebrate their alumni homecoming jan 14-18 2010.
thank you so much. id highly appreciate.

Dear Editor,


Thank you for including me in your mailing list. I find your news magazine very informative and interesting, having been a migrant myself for some time in Europe.


I am interested to do a research work about Filipino migrants in Europe and I would like to know the possibilities of working with you or your group. The research would have something to do with action research on development issues. I hope we could partner with you or with groups affiliated with you on this regard.


Once again..Congratulations for accomplishing so much good for our kababayan and our Bayang Pilipinas!


We hope that this will start a correspondence among us and the possibility of working together.

Dear editor,

My wife Corazon showed me your newspaper and I enjoyed reading it. My compliments you are doing a great service.

We are in Canada and members of the Rotary and I am a Past District Governor of a District in Canada and the U.S.A.

For a number of years I work strictly for the poor in the Philippines and specially for children in the Cebu area.

Please note my below listed website. Can you put me in touch with Carlos Arnaldo, I believe we have a common interest.

And may be we can help each other.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for including me in your list - this is the 2nd time I have received this e-newsletter.

I read with interest all the articles and marvel at how Filipinos are always at the forefront of doing great things in their "new" homes yet continue efforts to help their countrymen back home.

I am interested to offer the programs of our school and as a way of introduction, invite you to visit our website at www.saidi.edu.ph.
Should our programs be of interest, I am willing to contribute short articles, snippets of interest to our kababayans in the interest of continuing education and community efforts that you may be interested to collaborate in.

Will appreciate your feedback and hope to continue correspondence with you.

Thanks,

Aloha Mr and Mrs Flores,

We have been exchanging emails for quite sometime now and it is nice to see your photo together. What you both are doing is wonderful. I went through all the photos and seeing them made me homesick of the Philippimes .

I am here in Hawaii simce October and visited my three daughters and their family. I am not sure if there is any Filipino organization here but there are several of us who gather together often. I am going home next week to the Philippines and I will tell my daughters and their friends to have an activity together and form an organization.

My daughter Eliza May Villanueva Shumwaywas voted Young Mother of the year of 2005 and Represented the State of Hawaii,and a close friend Bennette Misalucha Evangelita was voted Mother of the Year a couple of years back represented Hawaii to the America Mothers Inc. Selection was based on their achievements as a homemaker, personal integrity,and community service.

I will ask my daughter to send some photos of such. Here in Laie, Hawaii Latter-Day Saints Filipinos come to Brigham Young University to get their Bachelor's degree as Scholars. Most of them go home to the Philippines and some get married while in school. Two of my daughters here are members of the Concert Choir of BYU-Hawaii.This Choir toured Korea and Japan ,and the Phils.But the Japan and Korea Tour was famous because they were allowed by the Japanese Religious group to sing in their temple,

Thank you for the work that you do --making us connected.

May the Lord bless you with good health,and Happy Valentine to you both.

Hello Mr. Flores,

Thank you so very much for sharing with me your web site. It made my day.

I left the Phil. when I was 22 yrs. old. From the Phil., I went to Europe, thinking I was only going to stay for a few months on vacation. I overstayed and from there, moved to New York City, then to Washington, DC and finally am now a "native" of Southern, CA. I went back home after 25+ yrs of being away.

Your website filled a big void inside me. I am so very grateful.

Always,
