Tanjayanons brace for a
glorious 20th!

Fiesta
Coordinating Council Formed
With
time and cash running short on them, Tanjayanons in this host area have
now come
to what they themselves term as an
“anxious
excitement” over preparations for this year’s 20th
Anniversary celebration of the Tanjay Association, USA. However
in a meeting, of the Fiesta
Coordinating Council held at the Placentia home of Peping and Tita Gorospe, the duo prime
movers Fern Cruz and Quirining
Sandiego
assured the jittery Council that despite paucity of
time and funds, everything
was under control.
We will have the traditional 3-day affair, although this time, bonga! gyud ni ‘Day, they said. “In fact, our Anniversary Ball will be at the swanky 300-capacity International Ballroom of the Pasadena Hilton.” To everyone, it was a pleasing jaw-dropping revelation. “And, uy paminaw mo, ni-a pa gyud”, Quirining announced, “the Princess MZR has once again offered her entire 6-acre sprawling Bradbury Estate to Tanjayanons (Cont’d on pg 9)
Breaking news . . . Ssssh, ato ra ni
Ako man
gud ni siyang gi-ingnan nga ang mga
babaye sa ato sa Tanjay, mga alegre, sadya, edukada, areglada sa
panimalay. “Our
women,” ako gyung gi-pakatalan,, “are very pretty. They are comfortably
proud of
their femininity. The typical Tanjay woman is demure and deeply
religious, affectionate,
obedient - and is sensuously
adoring and very passionate, especially
with the man she
truly loves.”

Fr Jun-jun Q. Limbaga ordained
a priest
forver. A great-grandson of one of Tanjay’s most
loved and most
respected priests, Fr. Carmelito Quinit Limbaga,
Jr. received the sacred orders to the priesthood on November 3,
2004,
significantly in the same church where his great-grandfather, Padre Baldomero Villareal, presided
over as the parish priest over a
century ago. Highest diocesan church
dignitaries and top government officials joined the people of Tanjay as
they
rejoiced and thanked the Lord for
giving them another precious blessing. (A research recently made and posted in the tanjay@yahoogroups.com
reveals that
Tanjayanons have now seen 16 of their
beloved sons ordained to the priesthoo. Let
us pray that they remain faithful to their vows.)
La Residencia Tanjay inaugurated Another landmark Tanjayanons could be very well proud of is the new and much improved hotel de Tanjay. Located in heart of the City overlooking the legendary Osmena Park, La Residencia Tanjay is owned and operated by Baby Villegas Hilado and winsome wife, Olet G. Hilado of the Don Atilano fame. The sparkling Residencia boasts of spacious air-conditioned rooms, European-style restaurant, alluring party rooms, and other distinctive ambiences in reverential harmony and union with the oriental fengshui. “Tanjayanos do not always have the best of everything, but we make the best of everything we have, any time” said Olet with a twinkle in her eye.
Tanjay Association claims honor for books published. With unabashed pride, members of the Association claimed “glory” and, as it were, “high-fived” themselves for the publication of two among the most intriguing and extra-ordinarily significant books ever published in recent years. “A Country Of Our Own…” written by multi-award-winning poet, author and patriot, David C Martinez, and “Cases and Issues for Philippine Comparative Study” authored by the low-profile genius doctor of laws, Marcelino C. Maxino, have been receiving rave reviews and, ever since their publications, have been the talk of the Filipino communities all over the United States and Canada. (Gi-angkon ug gipang-hambug sila sa mga Tanjayanon diri, kay Danny’s mom, Carmen Cabello, and Mars’ grandma, Petra de la Torre, hail from Tanjay, and both Danny and Mars are members of the Tanjay Association USA. (Besides, wala na tingali’y makalupig sa ka-katalan ug ka-hambuguero i-ning mga taga-Tanjay!)
