Remebering Dad 2

April 2, 2007

Fathers have an important role in the family, According to our Filipino values; they are the “haligi ng tahanan”. I cannot help but remember him after reading Animated me: Father’s Treasure (Dec. 28, 2003). I cried so much that I wanted to visit him and hug him tight. As I am writing my thoughts, tears fall as I remember the last time I saw him. I miss him.

 

When my sister and I were younger (early 80’s), my mom said that he would gather sayote at our backyard to sell so that he could buy our milk. He just finished his BS Forestry and was job hunting at that time. He was eventually taken to work in DENR and promoted because he was dedicated to his job. Dad loved what he did.

Remebering Dad 1

It’s almost nine years since the last time I saw my dad. I miss having him around from time to time. My dad worked as a forester so he was out in the field most of the time. My dad would have been 48 years old if he was here right now.

When I was younger, I did not really understand why my dad had to be away from home at times. He had to see the projects implemented by DENR in far flung areas.

Ferdinand Marcos in Benguet

Here's a picture of Former President Ferdinand Marcos when he came to visit Benguet. I guess this was in the 70s or early 80s. You will see Former Governer Ben Palispis (left side of pic) and our handsome lolo Andres A. Cosalan (right side of pic) with some ladies in the Benguet eten. (click on the pic for a bigger view)

(Please help me name the people who are in the photo, thanks)
