Hindi po niya matandaan ang kanyang birthday at ang birth certificate po nya ay nasunog daw po nung panahon ng Hapon. Nakikiusap po ako sa inyo na sana ay matulungan po ninyo ako.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13590592780650511924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-30759659431618406852013-05-18T13:56:57.694+08:002013-05-18T13:56:57.694+08:00they continued with the reconstruction, but then s...they continued with the reconstruction, but then saying the loan is approved but the money was not yet released, it's more than a year and people are aggravated because of the lack of improvement in the construction,.. nahahati na ang bauan nag aaway away ang mga tao,.. kanya kanyang banatan,..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10263693264077621184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-29011348724429043602013-05-18T13:53:22.427+08:002013-05-18T13:53:22.427+08:00sorry but they continued with the recostruction of...sorry but they continued with the recostruction of the municipio<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10263693264077621184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-63251452333777017382013-05-08T21:21:49.010+08:002013-05-08T21:21:49.010+08:00I grew up here, The hall is my playground, the mun...I grew up here, The hall is my playground, the municipallibrary and the people in the mayors office were my supporters and my power movers. Big Mama as we call the former leader then, was an inspiration. It's quite nostalgic and can't help but to feel so sad. I'm hoping that the town that refuses to die will be in good hands. Leadership is not a perk but a responsibility, To whom is given much is required.

Rather, we are just asking (and thanks to RA 10066, demanding) that the facade be kept as it is and better yet restored to its 1930s look. You see, 1930s may not be as old as Vigan's 1800s houses, but in a hundred years they will be. And Bauan may regret having destroyed an architectural jewel. <br /><br />Nawala na nga yung likod, sisirain mo pa yung harap.Eufemio Agbayani IIInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-85282990489132633952011-10-11T23:17:03.385+08:002011-10-11T23:17:03.385+08:00We should learn to love, respect and appreciate ou...We should learn to love, respect and appreciate our rich architectural heritage.

Contrary to what the honorable mayor claims, most of the facade is still that of the original albeit with additions, such as the post modern posts along the arms of the building as well as the concrete overhang over the main facade. But restored sympathetically can be brought back to its original look. Most likely the additions the mayor stated was done in the interiors. <br /><br />Manolo NOCHEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-68418022005947877442011-10-11T11:42:53.982+08:002011-10-11T11:42:53.982+08:00I've seen it myself.

I was born and grew up in Bauan, 87 years ago, still actively engage in the practice of law and I probably know a few things more than any of my young friends, about the community, its people, place and buildings, culture and what have you. They forgot that the original municipio was totally burned in 1945 by the Japanese soldiers and was reconstructed in 1964. Now, it is not the same structure built in 1930. Please visit us and see for yourself the necessity of a new building.<br /><br />Bienvenido C. CastilloBienvenido C.

The municipio is smack in front of a T-junction. I remember that directly across it were two corner buildings: one was my grandfather's ancestral house, and the other was the Bauan Rural Bank which he established and managed until he died. I haven't been back there for years and don't know what has happened to these buildings.
