Hi, Errol & Cookie-
Missed you when we came for a brief visit in the Philippines! You still look as handsome as ever.... No wonder Cookie's looking beautiful as always!
Thought you have retired.... Petron must love you so much for not letting you go! Thanks for all the business...
Congratulations to your new nurse....
And when planning a vacation, you may want to try an OECD country - come to NZ....
Give my regards to Ronnie. And kiss your mama for me....
Abe & Chit
Congratulations to the genius that did this website!! What a great way to connect to fellow Magsingalenos!
For those kailians who don't know me, since I left the Phil. 1971...I am the daughter of Toning and Mogen Jurado..and the older sister of Mauro Jurado . Our house is infront of the public market.
Kumusta kayo amin and I hope that you are all doing great wherever you are!!

Dear Dole and Mario,
I am having a great time reading everything posted here. All the names ring a bell. The family updates and events, reunion photos, and the articles are of great interest to me. Dole, your piece MAGSINGAL, MY HEART BELONGS TO YOU touches the core of my heart.
Edgar is the only family member who has stayed in Ilocos. He works for the Department of Agriculture Provincial Office in Vigan. His wife Amelyn (nee Bueno) and his grown up sons have a thriving souverir and t-shirt business in Vigan. Brian, does the designs while Cromwell does the printing. Mama who underwent hip replacement last year lives with Franklin in his Quezon City home. Mama's being in Manila is the reason why I and my family do not travel to Magsingal as often as we used to.
Nasayaat laengen ta adda daytoy MVP nga naiyusuat. Congrats to the "geniuses" who made this a reality and to the virtual promenaders who visit the plaza tirelessly. God bless us all.
kumusta kay amin apo nga taga Magsingal. your site is so cool.
Annyeonghaseyo! Chalkayo! Bogosip oyo ! To pwayo! Modu sarangheyo!
To manong Errol and manong Ronnie ken kadakayo amin,
Greetings ! First of all, my big congratulations to Michael for passing the recent nursing board exam, same as my niece Glenda Luisa Mendoza Tomaneng,, she is the second daughter of my older brother Gregorio in DENR, Bulacan ...nice to see manong Errol and family in the site and hear something from manong Ronnie....my regards to manong Edgar, manong Junior, manong Alex, Herbert, Cynthia, Franklin, Ferdinand and their families but most to my nanang Auring.

Great to see you and your family pictures here. You are still tall and handsome as I remember you at SWI elementary. My classmate then was your younger brother Edgar.
Your brother VJR has created a masterpiece here(MVP), together with another great Vic from San Ramon for virtual reconnection of all Magsingalenos around the world. It would not been possible to virtually see you now and a lot more Kailians if not from them. I consider these two "the Two Genuises from San Ramon" hehe but it is true.They created MVP before anybody else and we are all thankful to them.

The Collado family members were in the middle of celebrating our son Michael's passing of the recent nursing board exam when my brother in law, Ronnie told me about Magsingalplaza.com. I imposed a time out and looked at the site. But because Errol and I were the hosts I couln't leave my guests that long to read everything in the website. Finally found time today. Congrats to VCjr and his namesake for this great work. Regards to Chit (Jose), Renie (Villalobos), Cherie (Tipon), Terry Robles to name just a few. For those who have asked about Errol, he is now a grandfather of 3, father to 5 and still my housemate hehe. He works for Petron Corporation. You all make me proud to be a Magsingalena by affinity.
hi to everyone.its nice to see everone on this website.
Hello to all my cousins, relatives, and friends in Magsingal and Hawaii. Its me,Marissa (Viloria) Thayer from Castaic, California, daughter of Mariano and the late Tikya Viloria. This is so awesome having a website for all Magsingalian folks. Also, kudos to my sister Lynne (Gutierrez)...We're so PROUD of all your accomplishments.
Hello Everyone! My dad Vicente Giner is from Magsingal, born 4/1/16. He wants me to contact a local lawyer based in Magsingal to transfer the deed to our lot to my name. Do any of you have anyone you can recommend? Thanks

Aloha and Mahalo to the people that made this possible for us to see and communicate to our old old frenz and see the changes of our town Magsingal.
Hello ading Pema siak ni m'g mo maritess nga gayyem ni Nila Ugalino(bakka). We used to come to ur house and play with you. I am very happy to see ur name here in the website , auncle Bert told me to go to this website and I'm loving it 'coz there are so much I missed since I left Magsingal after my third year highschool.
Guess where this place is?
Here's one beauty of the Philippines! :o)
I just want to say "A-L-O-H-A" to our many relatives and kailians in the Great State of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey!
I attended the induction of officers for the Filipino Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii (FCCH) where Lynn Viloria-Gutierrez was one of the officers. Congratulations Manang Lynn. Pls post some of your photos here as I wasn't able to get some.
On my way out, I bumped with M/M Wllliam Rol, FCCH president, 2001-2002, from Magsingal. Here's our picture.
Also, previous Vice President Eric Barsatan was there, too.
Mario and edna,
Dios iti agngina. We missed you at the park.
I am so proud of the first Santacruzan as a part of the 15th annual Hawaii Filipino Fiesta and Parade. Daytoy nanumo nga kailian yo iti coordinator kadaytoy nga event. Siasino pay ngarud iti pidutek no di dagitay pagtangtangsit tayo nga taga Magsingal. Awan iti saan ken ni Armi as long as she can. She raised the most money in the history of Mrs. Hawaii Filipina scholarship fund raising since 1988 under the administration of her own kapidua, Don Alvarez. She is very active in our own Magsingal Association of Hawaii as the second vice president and my co-chair of the Little Miss Magsingal scholarship fund raising project which will be held on Nov. 28, 2008 at Ala Moana Hotel.
Thanks, Armi.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!
Happy happy Fourth of July to everyone!
Just to remind everyone not to Drink and Drive!
Remember it is very expensive to get caught Drunk
Also, want to lay a "Happy Birthday" to
Manang Lynne gutierrez!
How young are you now cousin? Take care always!

I have read all the articles and seen all the pictures featured on magsingal plaza and thank you for starting this link so all of us magsingalenos, whether retired or not, can establish contacts to our cailians, who are in or out of the country. While looking at the pictures featured, I recognized some of my relatives that I have not contacted since I moved back here in magsingal way back 1996. Thank you and keep up the good work, I pray more cailians will send in their articles and pictures so we can follow up on their progress here in the country and abroad.
I noticed that only Mr. Vic Andallo is commentating from Australia and being a 'lost' son of Magsingal I decided to join the fun from Sydney as well.
I just discovered this site today after giving up on finding some fresh news from Magsingal from elsewhere. In fact I just wrote a lengthy comment on Vic's latest column about 'SAVINGS'.
It's refreshing to read the comments just to feel the 'pulse' of the town from people presently living there and others who consider it their hometown.
From one who visited Magsingal recently I have one complaint. Not all of us can have a Blacberry or Laptops when we visit and it's a pain to get internet access from the several internet places they have now. It's full of young ones playing games and it's booked all the time.
For sure, all visitors will find the need to access the internet at any point in their visit and I dont know if the town hall has a public access for one.
May I offer a suggestion which I found to be be very useful here in Sydney? In all public libraries here they have internet access for free. It's exclusively used only for emailing and research. But maybe they already have one.

M'g Chat, we're glad that you've found the site and enjoying it. That's mainly our objective - to have a place to go to for Magsingalenos and anyone who has a connection to Magsingal. Heard that your SWI batch had a reunion in Vegas last year. Hope you can share your photos on the photo gallery. I am sure that many Williamites will be happy to see you all. Pls keep supporting the site. Thanks

Through Lani's website(Lapoguenio Perspective), I learned about this website,which is so informative and entertaining, so to speak.
After a hard day's work, I hangout at these three sites, Lapoguenio, Magsingal Plaza, and SWI.(batch '79)

Manang Lyn, I have heard a lot about GILAS and they're doing a great job in providing PCs and internet connectivity to all public high schools in the Philippines (~5000 schools). This disqualifies SWI and TMI. We have 3 public high schools in Magsingal (MNHS, Manzante NHS and Puro NSH). Through the website, I have learned that MNHS has PCs in their school already. Their website is www.gilas.org and this initiative was started by Sen Mar Roxas, together with the Ayala Foundation. There's a site specifically for the US www.gilas-usa.org. I think this is a great initiative, hope we can get all get involved to computerise all the high schools in our town.

Good job! What place to read to when you are feeling homesick!
You are appreciated!
Mang Arthur,
Have you heard of GILAS - an Ayala educational foundation that promote and support computer literacy in public/private high schools? I attended GILAS informational meeting by Victoria Garchitorena, Vice president of Ayala Foundation at the Phil Consulate last night. I have learned that we have 2 high schools (MNHS and Manzante) that have computers but not hook up with the internet. I did not see St. Williams but maybe we can request for hook up as long as we have the funding of $2,500. For more info go to www.ayalafoundation.org.or www.gilas@ayala.com.
Fantastic website.....
Good to know about these website.I feel connected.I myself was born in Magsingal and proud of it but grew up in Pangasinan,Studied in Baguio and Manila(sort of cosmopolitan living).Presently and for the past 37 years,London is where i live,with my husband and three beautiful girls.
Keep up the good work guys..you're doing us proud.

I really appreciate the hospitality of the family Ruaburo of Magsingal Ilocos Sur( Of Bro. Norman) and the members of the Alpha and Omega International Christian Church led by Pastor Inigo for sharing their time and lots of good eats during our visit in June 2007.

You guys are doing GREAT!
It's the first week anniversary of our website today and we are so delighted for your warm reception, your active participation and your varying gestures support. We have received great email messages from many of you which are not published on the site, thanks for all your kind words.
The success of this online community will depend on you, our kailians. We can move forward only through your continuing participation, and to the extent that you find the site useful. The objective of this site is to bring Magsingal closer to all of you, so let's share every meaningful news, thought, event and dont be shy to share loads of photos.
When we conceptualised this site, we envisaged this to be a community for all Magsingalenos, regardless of age, location, perceived status in life, etc. The last thing we want to see happen, is for this online community to become the domain of only a few people or groups of people. I would like to particularly invite the young Magsingalenos. It's no secret that I am a big fan of the youth and I hope that you support this site by contributing your views, your ideas, your dreams and your aspirations.
Lastly, I know that deep in our hearts, we all love Magsingal dearly. Let's show that by looking after this site.
thanks a lot for this website!!! i am able to update news easily to my hometown MAGSINGAL. Thanks for your effort uncle VIC A. & CO. MABUHAY MAGSINGAL!!!!!!!!!!!
i miss Magsingal!
Pareng Vic and co., congratulations on this great site! As a former colleague of Vic, I can attest to his commitment to excellence and his passion for giving back to the community both here in Australia and in the Philippines.
