Paglapaw sa Abogon, misyaggit Si Kadoy, "Para, para. Ako na--ug Ako na-ug!" The driver (si Patchito, nga ma-o poy' tag- iya) stopped, dayong onot ug dalagan Si Kadoy, while all the passengers watched him. Kadoy hid behind a coconut tree kay mangihi diay. He was very careful to hide all his body - EXCEPT, THE MOST SACRED PART OF HIS ANATOMY The passengers were now in a chaotic laughter. Somebody shouted, "Doy, tago intawon, ma-ulaw ta!" Then, perhaps wondering what the noise was all about, Kadoy, still doing his thing came out from hiding but this time he was covering his face with his other hand ...I also remember one day while my Mama Bonay was playing mahjong at the Tabique, I was causing so much disturbance and trouble that my mother pleaded to Tio Rufo Limbaga to take care of me. With a "duha ka dupang lipak", he chased me all the way to Tio Andres Oracion’s house - hampak dirt, hampak didto, bunal kay bunal gyud. Would you believe that all that was left was usa na lang ka dangaw kay nangabali ang lipak sa akong lubot. . . I am looking forward to join you during next year's fiesta celebration. . . Enclosed is a check for my membership fee... Thank you. (Editor's Note: Re that Kadoy incident, the next day gubot kaayo ang Tanjay, kay ang tanang mga babayeng pasajero atong The Flame pulos guipangbulinggit!!!)

We are very proud and flattered to share with you this letter coming from Marcelino C. Maxino, senior attorney of the Court of Appeals of the State of California: Ayaw intawon ug tangtanga ang akong ngalan from your mailing list. Kinsa pa man unya diri sa amo (Tracy, California) ang manghambug kabahin sa how great The Tanjayanon Newsletter is . . . Tanjayanons who come to the house devour them like the dickens. Elmo Lopez, for instance, who was a recent visitor could not stop laughing at the jokes -ug nadugay-dugay pa to I would have called 9-1-1. Elmo is a Tanjayanon (editor's note: Momoy Lopez was known as the Benny Goodman of the Philippines). Brad, I am a Tanjayanon by roots, too. My maternal grandmother, Petra de Ia Serna, was a pretty Tanjayanon who was uprooted - guidagit ug nabihag sa usa ka ambongan kaayo ug macho nga taga-Ayungon. A pretty demure Tanjayanon and a macho dashing Ayunganon (a match even Madonna and Toni Cruise would envy) would ultimately become my grandparents - how lucly can one get!. . . Again congratulations. You 're doing a terrfic job. Sa Tanjay tolo na mong guapo: ikaw, si Arturo (mayor) ug si Sr Santiago, nga inyong patron.
(Atty Marcelino Maxino was always a stand-out among his peers. A law professor, he was among the most brilliant practising lawyers in Dumaguete. Dr Vicente G Singco personally picked Mars to succeed him as President of Foundation University when the latter retired. And the people of Dumaguete overwhelmingly voted him to their City Council. Earning his Doctor of Laws from one of the top law schools here in the States, he took the California State Bar and passed it - inspired by his beauteous wife, the former Remedios Lasola. Mars, now the senior attorney of the Court of Appeals of the State of California, got his good looks, high intelligence, and irresistable charms from his maternal grandmother).
