Dr. Alex Pal
The following is an excerpt from the column of Dr. Alex
Pal in the Visayan Daily Star:
Whenever I am pressed for time with
deadlines, I am tempted to wish that my newspaper would adopt the
slogan of the newsletter of the Tanjayanons in the USA. This
group has the Ang Tanjayanon Newsletter which is "published when in the
mood". Apparently the last time whey were in the mood was in July
of last year because that was the last time they
updated their website (www.tanjaycity.org)
The stories which they feature are timeless....
(Ed's note: The new website
is www.tanjaycity.org and it
has since
been updated. We feel honored and flattered that Dr. Pal took the
time
to read the ATN.)

Good Job!

is my kind of website.
It amuses me and amazes me to think of the wealth of talent
Tanjayanons
have. Special mention to the Editors and the Tanjayanons who
write
and send in their contributions making this newsletter very
entertaining
and unique - perhaps the only one of its kind in the world! (PS:
What's
this I hear that, lately, the editors have been in excellent mood?
Inspiration
and love and more is in the air! Tell us about it, especially the
"love
and more" portion (heh, heh, heh and ahem!)!!!
( Ed's Note:saycon286@eudoramail.com also sent a bunch of
one-sentence
jokes, in the sylte of Bob Hope's one liners. They are being
published
in this issue's Tambal sa Kamingaw section. We thank him/her for
it
and appreciate the kind words for our website and the ATN. (PS:
Mr/Ms
Saycon - most likely a Tanjayanon, - is by nature very tabi-an, very
himantayon,
and very tsismosa! He'll/She'll make an ideal ATN correspondent!)

Your ATN, a waste of time-Al Moranas
Reading ATN is a waste of OUR time. You, too, you are
wasting
not only YOUR time, but also your effort and money publishing this
pathetic
and deplorable Tanjay Newsletter - a burlesque, cheap, dull, slapstick,
boring
compilation of works coming from Tanjayanon writers. The money you
spend
here would be put to better use if you send it to the Philippines to
help
the poor homeless displaced people who roam and beg on the
streets
of some cities in Mindanao. I've given this advice to you more than a
dozen
times already. But, oh, you are a hopeless case.

(Ed' Note: Calling the Tanjay
newsletter
burlesque, cheap, dull, etc. - well, a rose by any other name still
smells
as sweet. But Al Moranas by any other name ....!??)

Tanjay Alternate International
Airport
Braddie, kini'maoy maayong i-headline: I heard that the city of Tanjay
will
be the site of a new modem alternate international air port. My friend
told
me that he heard that Mactan Intematinal Air port sometimes cannot
handle
the air traffic, so some international flights should be diverted
somewhere.
Davao is too far, so, he heard, the choice is Tanjay. This will be
constructed
at the Lawton Beach fronting Southern Cebu. So from the
beachfront
perpendicular to the Nono Limbaga Road (which will be expanded), the
runway
will go all the way to Polo for a distance of 6 kilometers. My
friend
said that he heard that land reclamation will start as early as next
year.
My friend also heard from his other friend that he heard that the
budget
is $1 billion. Braddie, this is a dream com true!!!
Sonny Mercado
Woodland Hills, CA
(Ed's Note: Sonny, I also heard
about
this from Pedro Ramirez the other time I was in Tanjay.
Also
a Lady Barangay official there that she heard that the bordering area
of
Barrio Lomboy will be transformed into a modern metropolis, with
funding
from the United Arab Emirates. When I mentioned this to Balodoy
Banogon last January, he just laughed and said, "Dock, dinhi sa
Tanjay,
mao na'y ilang gi-ingon: sa chocolate pa na, "Hershseys"! Transilation:
these
are all hearsays. "But who knows", he quickly added, "where
ther's
smoke, there's fire!")
