Notes on the Negros Oriental High School

2011-02-05T01:26:00.001-08:00

An eminent alumnus of this School, Dr. T. Valentino Sitoy, Jr., chronicles that Negros Oriental High School opened in Dumaguete on September 1, 1902 with Miss Rebecca E. Berry as Teacher-in-Charge. Simply referred to as the "Provincial School," it started with an enrollment of some 40 pupils, mostly from Dumaguete and the rest from the various towns. At that time, the Negros Oriental "Provincial School" was one of the 23 high schools in the country.

NOHS was established during the American occupation of the Philippines, a year after the first American school, Silliman Institute (now Silliman University), was founded in the Philippines. It is no wonder that its first teachers were Americans from the batch of educators called "The Thomasites". Here are some of the pioneering principals of the NOHS:

Si Amabelle tua nagtikaw-tikaw sa San Antonio, Texas. Si Alice naa connected sa Namei Polytechnic Institute, a maritime academy. Si Amabelle, ayaw ra ug katingala anang iyang picture kay tag-iya na ug beauty salon sa Texas. (Taym pa mo-salute 'sa ta sa ang atong Corps Commander nga kumander na ni Mr. Smith karon.)

Inday Marrah's Love

2011-02-02T01:15:00.000-08:00

Kini si Marrah Tijamo wala ni nagpahibalo nato nga mitugpa na diay siya sa salag sa kaminyoon. Gikasal na sila si Marrah ug ang iyang long-time nga palalab nga si Dr. Dale Butler niadtong ika-18 sa Disyembre 2010. Usa ka dakong tawo sa politika sa Bermuda si Dale Butler, astig kaayo nga tawo pero diri ra siya nisurender sa usa ka maanyag nga binuhat gikan sa Dumaguete. Tan-awa di ba gipasol-ob gyud ni Marrah ug Barong Pilipino ang iyang bana; wala ka ik ang taga-Bermuda.

Mahimo na unya ning official first lady si Marrah Tijamo-Butler sa nasud sa Bermuda pila ka adlaw gikan karon. Sud-ong lamang mo ug unsa ka malipayon ning atong batchmate sa dihang gihiusa na ang ilang duha ka kasing-kasing. Boss Marrah, manganha unya mi diha.

Hello Kanatong Mga 79ers!

2011-02-01T20:06:00.000-08:00

Ayaw baya ingna nga gumikan kay wala malihok ning atong blog nga wala na ta magka-bonding ha. Ang Facebook ang sad-an ug nganong, kun sa tagay pa, nigamot na kining atong blog. Sukad nauso ang Facebook, tua na ta tanan didto nagistambay, manglili ug pictures, magtabi, magplano ug gimik --- hasta na ang magkuhitanay.

Pero ubay-ubay na baya atong kalihokan sukad atong kataposan ta nga nagtapok diri. Morag inauguration pa man to ni Pnoy ang last nato nga post. Ayaw kabalaka kay nitunga na pud ang tigpanalipud sa mga dinaugdaug sa valentine. Nia na sad ang mga balita kabahin sa gugma gikan sa gawas ug sa sulod ning ating pinalanggang Pilipinas nga gisibya sa inyong kabos nga reporter sa kahanginan.

"Kung Hei Fat Choi!" matud pa ni Venus Yongco. "Pong Choi La!" matud pa ni Yoyoy Villame.

Yehey Welcome, Evangeline Pepico-Odeyemi!

2010-07-31T04:28:00.000-07:00

"Mga Ga, Ra, Dear, Ging, Honeydear, nia na usab ang inyong higala sa kahanginan si Manong Mar nga nagsibya niining radyo DYRM dinhi sa dakbayan sa Dumaguete. Pagtimba na ug kahoy, pagbugha na ug tubig... kay nia na niabot ang atong klasmeyt nga sekret agent sa amerika... si Evangeline "Femi" Pepico."

Vangie, kaila kaayo mi nimo, ma'am.

Atong gipatapot diri ang iyang email para naa gyud ebidensya. Kamo na la'y tugkad ug unsa ang iyang gipangyamyam diha kay iningles na. Kaila ni silang Venus Yongco nga mao ang atong majorette sa NOHS band atong first year. Pero ang dako gyud ug katawa ani mao si Joel Dayao nga nalipayan kay naay information nga gihatag si Evangeline kabahin sa iyang expalalab nga si ... hehe... basa lang diha mga, boss.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hi Tim! How are you? I am not so sure if you can remember me. We were in the same freshman class at NOHS and the glee club until our senior year. My name is Evangeline Pepico. I was also with the band playing the drum. I just happen to stumble into the site that you have started. That was very nice of you trying to bring everybody together."

"I left Dumaguete almost 26 years ago. I went to Northwestern U and completed 2 BS degrees and a masters. I should have proceeded to law school instead of graduate school. Anyway, no regrets. I still have accomplished my goals in life. I am currently here in Los Angeles. Prior to that I was in Houston, Louisiana, and North Carolina."

"Well, I have heard a lot about you from other classmates. You are a big time attorney now...... That is great! I work with attorneys all the time on job as a federal agent."

"Anyways, when is the next reunion? I would love to come home. I still have families in Daro. By the way, do you remember Amabelle? I later found out through my Mom that she is my cousin. She always visit my parents in Houston. She currently lives in San Antonio, Texas."

Congratulations Mayor Marcella!

2010-05-22T23:14:00.000-07:00

Wala na'y makapugong pa. Mayor na g'yud atong klasmeyt sa lungsod sa Sibulan, Negros Oriental. Ang atong klasmeyt nga konsehal sa dugay nga panahon ang nakadughit sa pinakataas nga posisyon sa lungsod niadtong niaging piniliay. Giunsa kaha to niya? Sigurado nga ang pagkakugihan niya ug ang dako niyang pagsalig sa Diyos mao ang nituboy kaniya. Congratulations, Mayor Marcella Grampon-Bartoces. We are so proud of you.

Welcome Beth Abrio!

Tua ang pictures sa atong site sa facebook. Pahimo kuno diha sa imong anak ug account nimo sa facebook. Tua pud didto ang atong mga classmates nga puro kahibalong mo-chat. Just search NOHS-Batch79. Basa-basa lang 'sa, sa mga articles diri. (Thanks to your bro, who wrote about you in the Comments section of this blog.)

Welcome Amalia Obligado!

High School	Karon

Dia pa'y laing nasakpan nga nagpahipi ra diri sa Manila. Usa sa mga matahom nga mga angeles nga daghang layhan mosikop apan wala'y makaduol. Ang uban moingon nga snob siya pero wala lang sila kahibalo nga Ms. Tubod, Dumaguete ni siya. He he, welcome diri sa atong blog, Ming.

Welcome Raquel Panuela!

2010-04-20T00:55:00.000-07:00

Kinsa pa man diay lain? Si Raquel ang katunga sa Panuela twins, nag-comment siya dinhi pero wala magbilin ug email address; nagpahibalo nga motambong ang iyang twin bro nga Ariel sa atong reunion-dalang pamista.

Paki-email kuno sa imong bulubag-ong hulagway diha ma'am Raquel kay ang dia namo kato pang diha mo sa Pepsi katong gatapad mo ni Tina Turner. Email sa timcalumpong@gmail.com or pwede pud mag-abri ka ug account sa Facebook kay tua ta didto; i-search lang ang NOHS Batch 79 sa facebook.

Marcela Grampon 4 Mayor!

2010-02-08T03:08:00.000-08:00

Dili unta nako butangan ug politika kining atong blog pero ato pud kini nga ibandilyo kay dili baya sayon ang gitaak pagka-karon niining atong batchmate. Si Marcela Grampon-Bartoces nga wala kaayo mailhi niadtong high school pa 'ta, mopalawig na sa dagat sa politika. Siya ang natuboy sa iyang partido sa pagka-mayor sa lungsod sa Sibulan. Dili tanan gihatagan ug higayon nga mosalmot sa ingon niining kalihokan ug dili tanan adunay lig-on nga dugokan aron molahutay niining bugnong lugaynon.

Sa three terms, consistent si Marcela sa pagka-No. 1 nga konsehal sa Sibulan. Maingon nato nga hinog na siya para sa pinakataas nga posisyon sa maong lungsod. Ug madayon, siya na sa atong tanang batchmate ang nakakab-ot sa pinakataas nga ranggo sa gobyerno pinaagi sa piniliay. Mao nga dako natong garbo kay siya usa kanato: si Marcela Grampon-Bartoces, pagka-mayor sa Lungsod sa Sibulan karong ika-10 sa Mayo 2010.

Mars, sa imong pagpakli sa bag-ong panid niining kinabuhi, hinaut giyahan ka kanunay sa atong Labaw nga Makagagahom.

Hello Ug Usab

2010-01-31T03:53:00.000-08:00

Sa atong pagbaktas niining dalan sa kinabuhi, usahay dili ta makabantay nga nitipas na diay ta ug nisohot sa kakugnan nga mao ang kalimot. Bisa'g asa na lang nahasiril-siril kining atong lapoy nga lawas; nagsalimuang nga nagbugtaw sa mga damgo; usahay moampo na sa pagdani sa mga butang sa kalibutan...

Apan may panumduman nga kanunay mokablit ug mobutad. Dili diay 'ta makabalibad ug ang kamingaw na ang moagda. Sama sa ambongang ulitawo nga miagda sa mapahiyomong dalaga aron sila mosayaw sa bayle sa pagsaulog. Sa walay pagukon-ukon, atong hinumduman ug tagamtamon ang kagahapon.

Wehehe, intro ra na, parts... pahinumdum ra nga sa Mayo 15, 2010 sa lapyahan sa Zamboanguita, mag reunion ta. Andam daan mo ha, especially mga taga-abroad. Suggest daan ug unsa'y mga potahe nga lutuon, unsa'y kolor sa bikini ang dad-on. Mora'g sinaw atong simod ani kay pista kaayo sa Zamboanguita. Magplano dagway ta ug overnite didto sa bisperas, noh?

NOHS '79 High School Reunion 30 Years After

2009-09-15T16:51:00.000-07:00

I could think of a thousand reasons not to attend the reunion last August 29, 2009. My days are always busy with very important concerns in family, business and community, but my conscience tells me to go because this event may not repeat again (it is my prayer that is will but with a different but happy circumstance) so I canceled all my "other important" assignments and bought my ticket and went. And I am truly grateful that I did, the joy and happy feeling experienced cannot be expressed words and images but stick to your heart for the rest of your life.

High school was a transition and a formation, preparing you for something challenging and serious college and the real world. It was a time of firsts, (you know what were your firsts) a time of loving a lot of things (music, dancing, girls, etc.) , trying something new and many other energies we focused ourselves to. The memories of those years are still vivid and clear, from the banana cue to the many escapades and adventures taken in the course.

I am so grateful of the friendships that developed during those days which still continues and grows even today. Though we thread different paths in our life journeys we are connected by a common bond of experience nurtured in the four corners of our beloved high school alma mater.

The reunion reminded me that happiness and success is not measured in how much wealth you have or how accomplished you are in your profession but by the satisfaction of what you are today and how God and your past has molded you as a person.

The reunion will be etched eternally in my mind and heart and I already long for the next gathering/s, may it be joyful and fruitful as we extend beyond ourselves,beyond the boundaries of our homes and classmates to those whose needs we can fulfill.

May the Lord grant good health, wisdom, resources, graces and mercy to all of our batch mates, may we glorify Him in our efforts individually and as a group.

See you May 15, 2010.

Joel

The Journey

2009-09-11T01:21:00.000-07:00

*Pakigpulong ni Lourdes Nga Wala Mahatag Niadtong Reunion Kay Nagkaguliyang ta sa Kasadya.

"Perhaps a stable order can only be established on earth if man always remains accurately conscious that his condition is that of a traveler”, one author says in his essay.

Salamat sa Dios! We made it today! With grateful hearts, we have come to stop for a while after 30 years! We just heard the introduction of batchmates, the memoir and the account of our journey. Indeed, there is reason to be grateful and to celebrate what the Lord has done for all of us in these 30 years.

Looking at your faces, I can tell that everybody is happy to be here. But, I don’t know how you felt before coming here. I don’t know the situations of your homes, your marriage, your families, your job, your business, etc. Are you in crisis? I don’t know. Are you in good health? Some of us, maybe, sakit na ang tuhod ug payod. I don’t know. But, I know German (Infante), our classmate, has one year to live because of cancer. He would have wanted to come but he is unfit to travel. And we, who are present, who can tell how long will we live? Some of us here, maybe, are afraid about tomorrow, when the 30 years anniversary celebration is over, when we continue the journey. We are thinking that, perhaps, everything that we have now will not mean a whole lot in the future with too many uncertainties we are facing.

Despite this, I am still very excited about the future, not because, maybe, I will find a husband. I invite you to be excited also. I will tell you why, but why? It is because there is God. I believe that here on earth man does not have a lasting city, that his stability and security consist in being rooted in God. That here, we are just travelers.

Looking back, we went through the ups and downs in life. Without knowing it, the “down” moments were the best times of my life and yours because we became mature and better persons. We learned that there is Someone stronger than us. We came to know the Lord in a most profound way.

Classmates, we live in hope and we do not get discouraged in present situations, trials and difficulties. From the knowledge of the present gifts: the gift of life, that fact that we are still here, the gift of families, children and loved ones, the gift of friendship, for widows and singles, like me, though we are alone, yet we are not lonely, the gift of our work, professions, the many, many graces which cannot be counted, and most of all the gift of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, our true treasure and source of joy, the certainty of the future can be deduced.

In the meantime, therefore, let us pray that we may be able to do the will of God. If you are a teacher, teach well; if you are an engineer, an entertainer, a doctor, a lawyer, a traffic officer, a housewife, a businessman, a public servant, etc. do your share for love of God. According to St. John of the Cross, “In the evening of our lives, we shall only be judged on love”. Let us be faithful servants then, even if it entails sacrifice. Let us not be impatient or focused on immediate rewards. One can be truly happy if he accepts and enters into the will of God.

There was a story of three friends who started a journey. The three heard the church bell rang. The two wanted to go to church for they know that the trip would be long. So they asked the other one to join them. But the other one replied: “What is the point of going to church when we should be traveling and what gain God has if we do go? You two may go if you like but I will not go. While you are there I will have gone a long way and I am in a hurry to get home.”

One of them said, “Look, don’t predict how God will arrange things!”

The two went to church and the other one headed for the road. After the Liturgy, the one who went ahead came back running, all out of breath. “What happened?” the two asked. He said that he went to a store to get some change and a drink. After he walked a few kilometers away, he decided to count his money to see whether he had all of it. He found it all there, but he discovered that his passport was gone. He almost lost his head. But then it occurred to him that he probably had dropped it while he was getting the change. So he ran back, he found it on the floor of the store, still folded. He was very happy. He came back to tell them what happened and to ask for some ointment for his foot. With so much running he rubbed his foot, he could hardly walk.

The friend said: “No doubt it happened because you refused to come to church with us to pray before beginning your journey. You wanted to be ahead of us but you came back, and disabled at that. I warned you about your prediction, and you see how things turned out”.

Of course, God does not need prayer from us sinners, but in His love for us He likes to see us pray. God, in His love, rewards man a thousand times more than his actions deserve. If you will only decide to go to the Father, He will come to meet you.

One of my favorite Psalm is Psalm 127. It says: “If the Lord does not build the house, in vain do the builders toil. If the Lord does not watch over the city, in vain do the watchmen keep vigil. In vain is your early rising, your going late to rest to earn your daily bread. God gives it to His friends while they sleep. xxx”

Classmates, our journey must continue. Be not afraid because we do not travel alone! The Lord is with us every step of the way! He loves you and me!

See you again soon! God bless us all!

Reunion Beach Activities

...Ug sa takulahaw lamang niagi ang katloan ka tuig. Nipakgang sa atong pagtadlas niining hagip-ot nga dalan sa kinabuhi ang pagplano ug unsa'y buhaton sa atong High School Reunion.

Iwakli usa nang inyong FHM ug Maxim diha kay dia ra ang among mga angels. Wala ninyo makit-i 'ning among mga dalaga sa ilang batan-ong pagkaputot hangtod sa ilang pagbuskad na sa hingpit nga pagkabulak. Karon na mao ang panahon: ang mga na-apil aning pictorial, mas nisexy, mas nilab-as ug mas kuyaw na ang mga hairdo karon... Kinsa pa kaha ang dili matental aning atong mga models nga giparada sa inyong atubangan? Adto mo sa Reunion para inyong masaksihan ang ilang ikaduhang pictorial. Photo shoot beside-the-beach! Asa pa man diay nga Cangmating Beach man ta. Unya unsa may isul-ob ug naa sa beach? Syempre... kanang original uniform ra gihapon.

Ang Mo-Absent sa Reunion, BANG!

2009-08-22T16:39:00.000-07:00

Ang mga ngalan sa mga batchmates, kanang naa nalista diha sa ubos, gipasibya sa DYWC, DYRM, DYSR ug sa ABS-CBN ug GMA7 ni Julieto --- kada 10 minutes. Naa pud sa easyride nga may trompa na gabulobordahe sa kadalanan gipangbandilyo ang mga ngalan sa kada batchmate. Wala na'y eskapo ani. Dili na pud pwede na molighot sa sinehan kay sirado na ang Goldie ug Dove. Ang duha ra ka rason nga pwede excuse nga dili makatambong kana rang nipanaw na o magpakasal. Wala na'y lain excuse nga dawaton.

Ang ma-late pahulaton sa gate, pasudlon ra pagkahuman sa kanta sa Lupang Hinirang, NOHS Song ug May Bagong Silang. Ang magbantay sa gate si Manong Ananias ug si Manong Temyong Tarotot.

Just show your face. NO ID, OK ENTRY.

Absalon: Mhaaag-ulat! Miguel Baldado: Unang tilap, naritong lahat!: Pastor Bobby, Arnel, Mildred, Mayor Marcella, Joji, Mila, Menchu, Gina O., Odette, Tess, Nennen.

Preparing for the grand ladies nite out on the 29th. (Posing kaayo ka Gina, unya ikaw Mildred, project kaayo.)

Unsa gud nang gilili nimo diha, Ji? Morag issue man na sa "The Horn" 30 years ago. Nahipatik pa ba diha ang atong mga kagahapon? Marites, asa ka nga skul nag teach, Maam?

For the whole wide world to see, here are the pieces of documentary evidence that prove NOHS Batch '79 is in a frenzy of preparations for the batch reunion. Taken at the San Jext residence of Gina Ozoa, the organizers are enjoying every bit of it. For the unbelievers, repent. We will rock the whole of Dumaguete City come 29 to 30 of August.

We Are These

2009-08-15T19:14:00.000-07:00

Check out these cool designs done by Matt, the son of Joelito. Not a bad design for the cool guys of batch '79.

And while you're at it, you might want to answer Mila's question: which song is our theme for this years reunion: "Through the Years" - Kenny Rogers, "If We Hold On Together"- Diana Ross, "Heal The World"- Michael Jackson or "Journey"- Lea Salonga.

Dear All

2009-07-29T20:46:00.000-07:00

Mao nga paghimo na mo ug account sa facebook 'bi. Pwede mo magpatapot didto ug mga hulagway, ilabi na katong naa sa album sa inyong sala.

About German Infante

2009-06-24T02:30:00.000-07:00

Let us please pray for another batchmate, German "Gerry" Infante, who is battling the big "C". German (see his pics in the previous posts) is my confidante then and now as we toil in this big city of Manila. He is now the president of Vintex Shipping (Phils.) Corp., a big ship manning company giving opportunities to our seafarers. I was his only guest from our high school batch during his wedding way back 1985. He confided to me of his ailment in the second week of this month.

Bay Gerry, knowing your will power and love for life we know you will wither this storm.

Guys, you may reach Gerry at 09175746381.

A Sad Month for Our Batch

2009-06-24T02:10:00.000-07:00

'Twas a sad time for a our batch. Lourdes A., texted me about the demise of our dear classmate Lou Valencia, the diminutive athlete who used to don the national colors for soccer. He died last 9 June 2009 and buried on the 11th. (I was at Dumaguete last 12th to 14th and not was able to make it to his wake.)

To our beloved Lou who added color to our four years of high school life as he did us proud, you will always be in our hearts forever, our batchmate and our friend.

Those who don't look at the past, can't reach the future

2008-12-05T18:16:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! I am actually apprehensive to share and contribute in this blog because I feel I don’t belong to the smart and intelligent Section-A class. We have in this group, the Honorable Atty. Calumpong whose life is dedicated to serving the less fortunate (sounds true no!!!) and the ever dazzling and successful businessman Joel Dayao who is now a big shot in Makati. Naa sila Lourdes, Joji, Leah, Marlene, of course Roxanne, all have flourishing careers and all others nga wa nako kabalo asa na, I am sure successful sad 'to sila. You know, I and Absalon, maybe Orlene if anyone remembered us belong to Section-D. Presenting man lang gani ko sa mga Section-A para matak-dan sad sa ila ka bright. Although dili tanan nga Section-A na amigo namo, pero most of them are truly true and reliable friends.

There are wonderful memories that flash in my mind in our last days in our high school life. Remember our bivouac in Camanjac man kaha to. We had the chance to be responsible and resourceful on that event. Nag-walking man lang gani ta ato, wala pa hinu-on to insurgents at that time. Enjoy kaayo ta tanan ato. Also remember kato pong Home Economics nga dating lesson so everyone has the change to be aware what it takes to be a gentleman or a lady. Naa pud ta ato disco.

Let’s reminisce those moments to brighten our day. It will never come again so mag reflections na lang ta. We will just strive to do the best we can in everything we do. As the saying goes:

“I expect to pass through this world but once;

any good thing therefore that I can do,

or any kindness that I can show to any fellow-creature,

let me do it now;

let me not defer or neglect it,

for I shall not pass this way again"

My friends, let’s put this in our minds and in our hearts. Let this be our guiding spirit in our journey to our future.

May God bless us all.

Leo Euraoba

PS:

This opportunity given to us to connect each other through digital means should be exploited. The more nga maka communicate ta sa ato mga friends, the more we become younger and vibrant at the same time conscientious for others.

I humbly share my Friendster and Facebook accounts. Just type leoeuraoba@yahoo.com for contact person. Hope to see you there.

I hope we all have the chance to attend our next class reunion. We should try to open our line of communication through digital means. We should share our wonderful memories of our past life. Let’s pray that God will bless us all.

To All Folks Born in the 50's, 60's and 70's...

2008-11-18T03:37:00.000-08:00

Hi Guys, Got this from my email and had a great time laughing. Naigo gyud, right straight to the apapangig. Share lang nako ha. (Thanks to the original sender, whoever you are.)

===================================================

First, some of us survived being born to mothers who did not have an ob-gyne and drank San Miguel Beer while they carried us.

While pregnant, they took cold or cough medicine, ate linunod, balikutsa, bukhayo and didn't worry about diabetes.

Then after all that trauma, our baby cribs were made of hard wood covered with lead-based paints. Ang uban kay duyan nga habol gihigtan ug pisi nga inigtabyog ug kusog mapakong intawon ‘ta sa bongbong.

We had no soft cushy cribs that play music, no disposable diapers. Lampin lang sa General Milling nga naa'y faded picture nga nag-salute. And when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, no kneepads, wala pa gyu'y brake ang bisikleta.

As children, we would ride in hot un-airconditioned buses with wooden seats (Bisaya Bus nga pultahan puros ang kilid, Corominas Bus nga senimana ang brake), or cars with no airconditioning & no seat belts. Karon kay minibus na nga nindot kaayo ug sounds or Ceres bus nga bugnaw ug aircon.

Riding on the back of a carabao on a breezy summer day was considered a treat. Karon, ang mga bata wala na kaila ug kalabaw.

We drank water from the garden hose and not bottled mineral water sa Nature Spring or Viva, or Absolute Mineral water. Usahay gani, straight from the faucet or poso or atabay!

We shared one soft drink bottle with four of our friends, and no one actually died from this or contacted hepatitis.

We ate rice with Star margarine, bahaw nga gibutangan ug asin ug mantika sa baboy, drank raw eggs straight from the shell, and drank sofdrinks with real sugar in it, dili diet coke or Pepsi Max but we weren't sick or overweight kay... WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day and, tago-tago, ngita'g kaka.

No one was able to reach us all day (wala pa'y uso ang cellphone). And yes, we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our wooden trolleys (katong bearing ang ligid) or karitong kawayan nga karaang tsinilas ang giporma nga ligid and then ride down the street. Wala ma'y gidungog nga naligsan ato! After hitting the sidewalk or falling into a canal (sewage channel) a few times, we learned to solve the problem ourselves with our bare & dirty hands .

We did not have Playstation's, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 100-channel cable, no DVD movies, no surround stereo, no ipod's, no cell phones, no computers, no internet, no chat rooms, and no friendsters. ...WE HAD REAL FRIENDS. And we went outside to actually talk and play with them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no stupid lawsuits from these accidents. The only rubbing we get is from our friends with the words, “Sakit bai?” Pero kung kontra gani nimo ang imong kadula,,,,singgitan lang dayon ug, ”May’ra, 'gabaan!”

We played marbles (jolen) in the dirt, washed our hands just a little and ate pan bahug-bahug & bagumbayan (recycled bread man diay to kay wala mahalin!) We were not afraid of getting germs in our stomachs.

We had to live with homemade guns (giporma nga kahoy, gihigtan ug garter ug lastiko), saplong, tirador ug uban pa nga pwedeng magkasakitay. Pero lingaw gihapon kaayo ang tanan.

We made up games with sticks (syatong), and cans (bato-lata) and although we were told they were dangerous, wala man gyud to'y actual nga nabuta ba, bukol lang nuon sa agtang naa.

We walked, rode bikes, or took tricycles to a friend's house and knocked on the door or batoon ug gagmay nga bato ang bungbong, or just yelled for them to jump out the window!

Mini basketball teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't pass had to learn to deal with the disappointment. Wala pa nang mga childhood depression ug damaged self esteem, ek-ek ra na. Ang maglagot, pildi.

Ang mga ginikanan naa ra sa daplin para motan-aw ra sa dula sa mga bata, dili para manghilabot ug makig-away sa ubang parents.

That generation of ours has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers, creative thinkers and successful professionals ever! They are the CEO's, Engineers, Doctors and Military Generals of today.

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had failure, success, and responsibility. We learned from our mistakes the hard way.

You might want to share this with others who've had the luck to grow up as real kids. We were lucky indeed.

And if you like, forward this to your kids too, so they will know how brave their parents were.

It kind of makes you wanna go out and climb a tree, doesn't it?

NOHS Canteen

2008-09-01T03:05:00.000-07:00

Wala nako kapugngi nga dili imantala ug ipaambit dinhi kining usa ka sugilagbay bisan ug wala pa makapananghid sa iyang manunulat (my apologies). Dako ang akong pagkahisagmuyo kay para baya nato yano ra man ang canteen sa NOHS pero sa pagkahubit sa nagsulat mao ang nakahatag ug pagka-interesante sa niining atong kan-anan nga sa daghan nang panahon atong gisalohan sa atomg mga kaagi. Ug dili pud madale kini nga article kay sumala sa editor sa Asian Journal kini nga essay usa sa mga finalist sa 2005 "Doreen Gamboa Fernandez Food Writing Awards." Padungang sa pagka-miss nato sa atong pinalanggang high school. Basa lang. Naa pud diha ang iyang numero sa sa telepono mao nga order dayon.

kinutlo gikan sa: http://www.asianjournal.com/?c=55&a=9583&sid=94fb24e0c0072931ff0d2ba1a61cfc37

The Sweetness of Dumaguete

“IN a sea of dust-colored buildings, the school-owned canteen of the Negros Oriental High School (NOHS) in Dumaguete City stands out as a gleaming white beacon to the school's 4,000 students. Above its entrance is a white sign with a pink border. It reads "Speak English.”

“The white-and-pink faux marble tile floor is glossy and polished despite constant foot traffic. The canteen's front, left and rear are open to provide ventilation but delimited with white bars. Girls and boys hunch over white tables and chairs. The right walled side of the room is occupied by a showcase of rice, hot meals, desserts, candies and biscuits. Baskets of V-Cut, Piatos, and other chips hang from the white lintels. To the back of the room, the kitchen is abuzz with staff cutting, mixing, boiling, steaming or frying the next meal or snack.

“The canteen is managed by Wilfreda Villalon. It has three principal cooks. A wizened Mang Tonio is responsible for the hot meals. Youthful Jo-an does the baking. Sixty-year-old Auntie Flora Oira is the canteen's equivalent of a pastry chef.

“From Mondays to Fridays, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Auntie Flora is dressed in an apron and a hairnet as she prepares the day's sweets: puto maya (a sweet rice cake eaten with hot chocolate), champorado (chocolate rice pudding), and dinuldog (sweet coconut milk pudding, ginataan in Tagalog), among others.

No bigger than a forefinger

“One of her culinary treats is budbud kabog, a sweet cake the size of an adult's forefinger. There are different kinds of budbud. Some are made, for example, of malagkit (glutinous rice). But what distinguishes this budbud is the use of millet, kabog. Hence, it is generally only available in Dumaguete, Bayawan, and other localities where millet is grown.

“Auntie Flora does not speak Tagalog or English. With the help of her colleague, Isabel Romano, Auntie Flora explains that she only learned how to cook three years ago, when she joined the NOHS canteen. She cooked at home, but her dishes were limited to "mga ordinaryo lang (the ordinary ones)." Working in the canteen required her to expand her repertoire. Mang Tonio and Villalon mentored her on new dishes and food preparations.

“To make budbud kabog, Auntie Flora soaks the kabog one hour prior to cooking. She squeezes the milk from five coconuts and combines it with sugar. She boils the solution until it is thick and adds the kabog, cooking until it is tender. She then forms the budbud kabog by wrapping cooked kabog in young banana leaves and steaming them for one hour.

Smell of banana

“Whether freshly steamed or reheated (it freezes beautifully), budbud kabog smells of sweet banana leaves and rich coconut milk. It is soft without being mushy and firm enough to hold its shape. The individual millet grains meld into a unified whole. Budbud kabog is sweet but not satiating. The coconut oil gives it a buttery texture that allows it to slide almost unperceptively down your throat. You can easily gulp down five or six pieces and still want for more. Villalon recommends eating budbud kabog with thick, native chocolate and ripe mangoes. The combination is divine.

“Auntie Flora says that, for budbud kabog to be good, "Kailangan eksakto ang timpla (the combination of ingredients must be precise)." Is there bad budbud kabog out there? Yes, there is, Villalon says, "Yung kulang sa gata (Those that do not have enough coconut milk)." Some budbud kabog-makers, she says, are too commercial. The NOHS canteen, on the other hand, emphasizes service and not profit, so their food's prices are low while quality is high.

“The emphasis on service also leads to a full disclosure attitude towards recipes. Both Auntie Flora and Villalon are surprisingly forthcoming with their formulations. "There are no trade secrets," Villalon says. A teacher of Technology and Livelihood Education, she says, "These are the same recipes I give to my students." Although she has not taught them budbud kabog this year, she is thinking of including it in her November syllabus, when she teaches native delicacies.

“The canteen caters primarily to NOHS students. However, it accepts orders for budbud kabog and other products. The staff routinely entertains requests from teachers, the Department of Education Division of Dumaguete City, government workers from City Hall, friends, and visitors. To order budbud kabog from the NOHS canteen, please call Villalon through the principal's office at (035) 2252684 or (035) 4220326. Villalon also recommends their empanadas, but that is another story.

Ang Sugilanon sa Pagpamakak sa mga Lalaki

2008-08-29T03:40:00.000-07:00

Mao kini ang sugilanon kun nganong mamakak ang mga lalaki.

Karpintero si Jojo ug usa ka adlaw may giayo siya nga balay sa kilid sa dakong suba. Wala tuyoa nahulog ang iyang martilyo sa suba. Dili na niya mahuman ang iyang gitrabaho ug wala pa siya’y sweldo nga mauli sa ilaha. Nakahilak siya… Pero nitunga ang iyang guardian angel, "Tabangan tikaw, Jojo".. ug dayong lukso sa lawom nga suba.

Pagtunga sa guardian angel may dala na nga gold hammer, "Mao ba kini ang imong martilyo?"... "Dili," ang tubag ni Jojo. Ug mi-dive na pud ang anghel… pagtunga niini may dala na nga silver hammer. "Mao ba ni?”… “Dili gihapon." Mi-dive ug usab sa suba ang anghel; pagtunga niini may dala na nga ordinary hammer.

"Mao ba ni?"

“…Oo."

Napuno sa kalipay ang anghel: "Tungod kay honest man ka, gawas sa imong martilyo, imoha na sad kining gold ug kining silver hammer.”

Niagi ang pipila ka adlaw, naglakaw si Jojo sa may kilid sa suba uban ang iyang misis. Pastilan, dude, nahulog man si misis sa dakong suba ... Puwerteng hinilak ni Jojo... Apan nitunga ug usab si guardian angel, "Tabangan tikaw...” ug dayon dive sa suba ug pagtunga gikan sa ilalom kauban na si Marian Rivera, "Siya ba ang imong misis?"

Tubag ni Jojo: "Oo."

Haskang sukoa sa anghel: "Bakakon ka. Abi g'yud nako ug honest ka!”

Mirason si Jojo: "Sorry kaayo, angel ... ug miingon ko nga ‘Dili,' mo-dive na pud ka sa suba unya pagkawas nimo ikuyog na pud nimo si Anne Curtis, unya sa imong pangutana, motubag ko nga ‘Dili nako siya asawa.’ Mo-dive na pud ka ug usab ug ang tinuod na nako nga misis ang imo ikuyog. Ug tungod kay honest man ko ihatag nimo nako sila Marian Rivera ug Anne Curtis. Pastilan, pobre ra man ko, dili man ko kasarang ug tulo ka buok misis, mao nga ‘Oo’ na lang ang akong gitubag sa una pa lang nimong pagpangutana.

Moral of the story: Mao nga namakak ang mga lalaki for a good and noble reason.

Pasalamat

WORDS OF THANKS

To you who made JAF’s life comfortable when he was still alive…
To you who shared our grief and sorrow …
To you who led the memorial services, offered songs, prayers, kept vigil,
gave flowers, food, messages of sympathy & financial
assistance…
To you who attended the necrological service & funeral rites…
To you our relatives who stayed with us all the way…
And to you who in countless other ways helped and comforted us when
our way seemed so dark and empty…

DAGHANG SALAMAT !!!

This time sa Dumaguete City na gyud nipasundayag ang atong klasmeyt, a star in his own right, si Joey A. (related to Joey Albert only in age). "Laff Out Loud" sa El Camino, Agosto 23, 2008, mao ni ang gabii nga nisakit ang mga tiyan sa onse nato ka klasmeyt sa wala'y undang nga pagkatawa. Mao pud ni ang gabii nga pers taym nag-wild ang mga mahinhin natong mga dalaga sukad nigradweyt ta. Joey A., kadtong diha ka sa stage unsa man imong giangga sa atong mga kadalagahan --- ug mga feeling dalaga --- nga nanambong sa inyong kalingawan ni Inday Garutay? Akong tag-an kay: "I would like to greet my klasmeyts nga usa ka barriohan ang niabot, kay kun wala pa sila wala'y tawo ang El Camino..." Kidding aside, reports say it was a superhit show, nagsugwak ang mga tawo. Tan-awa lamang, sulayi ug mamay-ongan ba ninyo ug kinsay dili hubog diha, hehehe... (Si Mila D. ang wala sa mga hulagway kay siya mao ang maniniyot adtong gabhiona.)

Ang first love team sa atong batch... ay balo lamang ug kinsa ang Jesusa ug Julieto ana kay pareho sila ug uniform, pareho silang performers, that night.

Ay usa ra ang buot ipasabot anang paghalog... dili na labs... nagpalakas lang na si Julieto ka Joji, ang First Lady sa Sibulan... Dalakpon man gud na si Joey kay iyang gi.. (nyaha my lips are sealed)

Group picture ni... gi-batch by batch kay dili maluon sa kadaghan sa atong klasmeyts. Kini ang First Batch according to age...hehehe, from left Vangie D. (ikaw ba na, gaw?), Nenen B.

Pepsi Jingle of Our Time

2008-03-25T05:41:00.000-07:00

Kinsa pa ang nakahinumdum niining jingle sa Pepsi, circa 1977? Usa sa mga unang kanta nga akong nakat-onan sa gitara. Pero karon nakalimot na ko sa chords (memory gap, he he).

Nahinumdum ko sa atong klameyts nga Panuela twins, si Ariel ug si Raquel, kay ang ilang father didto nagtrabaho sa Pepsi unya sila may housing didto sa Pepsi warehouse. Si Ariel officer to sa atong CAT unya si Raquel, gwapahon (kinsa kaha'y nagpadoding ani niadtong high skul pa ta...)

Have a Pepsi Day

A smile can wake the sun up
To what your world could be,
And with every brand new moment
You're alive, you're feeling free.

Make this day a celebration
Come and taste the Pepsi way
Life is what it should be
When you have a Pepsi day...

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon and make a Pepsi way.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon and have a Pepsi day.
Wrap a thirsty smile around it,
Raise a Pepsi up and down it,
C'mon, c'mon and have a Pepsi day.

C'mon, c'mon and make this day a celebration.
C'mon, c'mon and join the Pepsi generation.
C'mon, c'mon... (drums) C'mon, c'mon... (drums)
Have a Pepsi day.

Nagkita-kita na Pud...

2008-03-18T07:19:00.000-07:00

Nagkita-kita na pud ang mga banggiitan. March 11, 2008, SM Megamall, pag-ingon ni Milavida Dorado nga moabot siya sa Manila gikan Dumaguete, wala'y ukon-ukon tagbo dayon si Temyong sa airport. Pastilan pagka-labs gayud sa atong Admin niining iyang silingan sa Sibulan, nga sige ra nilang haranahon ni Rommel Tan niadtong mga panahon nga sikat pa ang bayle. Pag-text pud ka Joel Dayao, wala gihapo'y ukon-ukon nga miagda ug panihapon sa Megamall (pero wise ning bataa kay gipili niya SM Megamall kay naa man didto iyang computer software ug book shop, ang "Macromind".) Gidala pud ni Joel iya kamagulangan nga si Michael Vincent (passport niya para tugotan ni Mrs. nga molaag). First year college na diay ning akong kinugos sa bunyag nga guapo boy kaayo (maayo na lang kay niliwat ni Mrs. Dayao.) Niabot pud si Ms. Bebedel Fabe, igsoon ni Joji, nga ig-agaw ni Mila. Si Bebedel ang valedictorian sa ilang batch two years lower sa ato, karon high officer sa Asian Development Bank.

Pwerte namong istorya ilabi na kabahin sa mga sikreto ni ....(oops, censored).... niadtong mga nanlabay nga kagahapon ug naunsa na ang atong pagkakaron. Ang mga wala didto, mao'y gitsismisan, unsa pa man diay! Info lang mga guys, Mila is very much available, tan-awa unsa ka seksiha gihapon sa picture. Maayo pa gyud mogalam kay nurse kaayo. Adto lang unya mo pangharana ug pamisita niya sa Texas, USA.

Kami maoy pinakakataposan nga customer nga migawas sa restaurant kay sige ra mi gatabi, nakalimtan ang oras. Sa sunod wala nay pakalit ug abiso para daghang makatambong sa panagkita... (Thanks to Mila for uploading and posting the pictures.)

Kini mao'y picture! Mila Dorado, sexy yummy sandwich sa mga matinee idols.

Magkumpare sa mga maayong binuhatan (ug sa ginagmay nga mga binugoy) Joel Dayao ug Tim Calumpong. Sa mga hinapay ra daugon, parts.

Wow Pare Bad Trip!

2008-03-05T16:41:00.000-08:00

Maayo gani kay wala ta maabti aning demonyong methampetamine hydrochloride nga mao'y nakaguba sa daghang kaugmaon. "Shabu" ang ngalan ini karon, gidanggaan pud ug "poor man's coccaine" kay barato ra. Pero grabe, daghan na kaayo ang krimen nga makapakitbi sa atay ang nahitabo gumikan ani.

Niadtong panahon nato, ang nihawod cough syrup sama pananglit sa "ornacol" ug "ornex". Ubanan ra ni ug yarok sa royal tru-orange. Diha na pud ang cannabis sativa o marijuana nga ang tawag niadto "hit-hit" ug "habak". Food trip or laughing trip ang sangpotan para sa uban. Common nga epekto sa paghabak nga ang panan-aw morag buak tanan or "basag" (as in "Basag kaayo ka parts!").

S'yempre ang pares aning mga trip kadtong mga kanta sa Led Zeppelin ("Stairway to Heaven" ug "Moby Dick") Aerosmith, Grand Funk Railroad, Juan De La Cruz Band ("Himig Natin" ug "Rock n Roll sa Ulan"), Maria Capra ("Kumusta Mga Kaibigan") ug daghan pang mga acid rock. Wala pa man ang FM radio niadto unya ang AM pud dili man motugtog aning mga kantaha. Dili pud dagway bagay si "Everdearest Manong Mar" sa DYRM o DJ Glenda Descuatan sa DYSR aning mga kantaha. Mao nga ug rakista gyud ka kinahanglang naa kay mga long playing albums o mga 45 records. Da bes ni paminawon sa quadrosonic nga stereo. Ug ikaw laagan, ang imong version sa ipod karon mao ang good old cassette tape player. Magbalon lang ka ug daghang cassette tapes.

Katong mga uban nga way budget para aning mga binuhata mantenir ra ug "padrax." Kami, igo ra sa katsubong, solb na. (Organic matud pa.)

Asa na kaha to ato klasmet nga maoy master rocker nato, si Jerome Billones? Na pastor na ba pud kaha to pareho ni Giovanni...

Peace mga pare.

Hala Linya na Atubang sa Flagpole

May bagong silang,
May bago nang buhay,
Bagong bansa,
Bagong galaw,
Sa bagong Lipunan.

Magbabago ang lahat
Tungo sa pag-unlad.
At ating itanghal
Bagong lipunan. (toink!)

Maora ug kini ang pinakabag-ong picture sa NOHS. Nindot baya ang main building pero dili maayo ang color combination: blue gate in cream fence. Unya ang pangalan pud sa atong pinalanggang school sa pinakataas sa building maora ug grafitti natabunan pa ug mga dahon. Naa pa gyud hanging sign nga puti, gawas nga natabunan gihapon ug mga dahon, maora ug hinalayhay nga habol. Yikes!

Excerpts from What's in a Date?
by Cecile M. Genove
from "Orient Express"

http://www.visayandailystar.com/2007/Starlife/2007/September/30/orientexpress.htm

...In an effort to inquire or verify the founding date of NOrSU, the retired faculty and staff wrote Dr. Sojor last May, expressing their knowledge based on historical documents to establish the fact that the school long existed before 1927 and, thus, concluded with an appeal that NOrSU will have a grand centennial celebration this year. It would follow on the heels of two other universities in Dumaguete that have commemorated their centennial anniversaries - Silliman University in 2001 and St. Paul University in 2004. The Negros Oriental High School, a public secondary school, turned a century old in 2002.

The retirees - led by Dr. Romula Loreta S. Aleta, Dr. Florencia P. Dagudag, Dr. Rosalina C. Tan, and Dr. Ruth L. Velasco - did extensive research to gather information about the history of the school, with sources coming from NOrSU's website information itself; from the book, Central Visayas Polytechnic College: A Brief History, by Dr. Henry A. Sojor and Dr. T. Valentino Sitoy Jr. published in 1997; from an article written by Dr. Sitoy for the Pylon 2003, the school's yearbook; and, excerpts from one of four books about Negros Oriental written by SU Professor Emeritus Caridad Aldecoa Rodriguez, Negros Oriental, From American Rule to the Present: A History, published in 1989.

The discussions have gravitated to the National Historical Institute through its chair, Ambeth Ocampo, who also writes a column for the Philippine Daily Inquirer, who is of the opinion "that the Negros Oriental State University should base its origin from its earliest precursor which is the Negros Oriental High School." Ocampo continues to add that "many universities trace their founding dates from humble schools, examples of which are Silliman University and St. Paul University, where the latter began as a small school for girls in Dumaguete."

In fact, Ocampo admitted that "given the illustrious history of the institution, a historical marker from the National Historical Institute may be installed in the premises of the Negros Oriental State University." But, this cannot be done yet until the exact date of the birth of the then Negros Oriental Provincial School, the forerunner of the present Negros Oriental High School, is given.

To quote from the NOrSU System's website, it says: "The beginnings of what is now the Negros Oriental State University date back to 1907, from a single woodworking class at what was then the Negros Oriental Provincial School, the forerunner of the present Negros Oriental High School. As more industrial arts subjects were added, a separate arts and trade school on the secondary level called the Negros Oriental Trade School was established in 1927. This was the provincial trade school which became the East Visayas School of Arts and Trades in 1956 and the Central Visayas Polytechnic College in 1983. On June 25, 2004, it became the Negros Oriental State University."

However, while the establishment of the Negros Oriental High School, formerly the Provincial High School, was on September 1, 1902, the documents and research materials did not provide an exact date in 1907 when the first woodworking class started. This information should complete the historical data to establish whether, indeed, this year is the school's centennial anniversary.

Huwaw! Interesting Family.

Nasindulan nako ning article sa internet. Di' ba nagreunion ta last time para pagsaulog sa NOHS Centennial niadtong 2002? Atol sa Centennial, gipasidunggan pod ang Maxino Family isip pinaka-astig nga pamilya nga product sa NOHS. Pito ka magsoon nga Maxino nieskwela sa NOHS, unom ang valedictorian unya ang ilang blacksheep sa pamilya, salutatorian. Basaha naa sa ubos ang kompletong article. Very inspiring.

Family gets rare award from Negros high school

From Philippine Daily Inquirer By: Alex V. Pal, PDI Visayas Bureau

DUMAGUETE CITY - The Negros Oriental High School (NOHS) has extended a rare award to a family whose members, spanning two generations, topped their respective classes.

The Maxino family of Ayungon, Negros Oriental, received the Centennial Award, a first of its kind in the history of the NOHS, during the 100th Founding Anniversary of the school last Sept. 1.

Seven Maxino siblings graduated from the Negros Oriental High School from 1941 to 1967, with six of them graduating as valedictorian and one graduating as salutatorian.

Six of the siblings, now in their 50s to 70s who all have curved successful careers, were present during the awarding rite. Their mother, Raymunda Chua Maxino, who will turn 100 in January 2003, was also around to receive the family award. Their father, Hermenegildo, passed away in 1970.

The eldest of the siblings, Dominador, was valedictorian of Class 1941. He was followed by Luciano, who graduated valedictorian of Class 1948, then by Lorenzo, who graduated salutatorian of Class 1950.

In 1954, Vicente graduated valedictorian, followed by Marcelino who was also valedictorian of Class 1955, and then by Gerardo, who graduated valedictorian of Class 1958.

The youngest in the family, Hope, graduated valedictorian of Class 1967.

The cycle was repeated by the succeeding generation when, in 1994, the daughter of Gerardo, Clare Cabahug Maxino, also graduated valedictorian from the NOHS.

Other grandchildren also kept the tradition of graduating as valedictorian, although they studied in other schools.

The outstanding academic performance of the siblings did not end there. In college, they also topped their respective classes and all earned magna cum laude ratings.

Aside from Dominador, who survived the Death March but died at the age of 19 in a Tarlac concentration camp, the other Maxino siblings went on to become leaders in their own fields.

Luciano, now 76, a Fulbright-Hayes scholar in the US, became a lawyer and was dean of the College of Law and president of Foundation University. He also served as manager of the Dumaguete Central Savings and Loans Association.

Lorenzo, now 74, became mayor of Dumaguete City in the 1980s. He also served as manager of Dumaguete Rural Bank.

Vicente, 67, also a lawyer, was immigration chief of Dumaguete City for a long time and eventually became the Regional Director of the Commission on Immigration and Deportation for Region VII.

Marcelino, 64, another lawyer and a Mc Dewitt scholar in Michigan, USA, became dean of the College of Law of Foundation University at 27 years old and later became its president. Immigrating to the United States in the middle 1980's, he passed the California Bar and later became Lead Attorney of the California Court of Appeal. He was also a bar examiner for the State of California, USA.

Marcelino has since retired and is now back in Dumaguete City to enjoy his retirement years. Gerardo, now 61, a physicist and a doctorate degree holder, now works with his physicist wife, Vicenta Cabahug, at the Physics Department of Silliman University where he is professor.

He served as department chairperson for sometime and was also dean of the College of Arts and Sciences of Silliman University. He is the president of the Philippine Physics Society.

Hope, now 52, also a physicist and a doctorate degree holder, is married to Regional Trial Court Judge Rosendo B. Bandal, Jr. and is presently professor and chair of the Silliman Physics Department.

She previously taught college Physics at the University of San Carlos, Foundation University, University of Santo Tomas and De La Salle University in Manila.

Two sisters, Nicerata, now 71, and Hospicia, now 57, did not study at the Negros Oriental High School but they also graduated with honors from their respective schools.

Ironically, the parents of the Maxino siblings, Hermenegildo Dy Maxino, now deceased, and Raymunda Chua Maxino, only reached grades one and two, respectively.

But they still stood tall in the eyes of their townmates as Hermenegildo could solve mathematical problems orally, while Raymunda earned the distinction of having been accelerated to second grade while studying first grade.

At that tender age, she got first honors in her class, but had to stop studying to help her father in his small business.

Finally Here It Is - NOHS Hymn

2008-01-29T04:01:00.000-08:00

Faithful and true-hearted
Let us sing for Negros High
We will love her and defend her
While her colors proudly fly
We will fight for her united
On the tracks or on the fields
Our hearts are singing
Our voices ringing
Negros Oriental High will never yield
True blue and ever loyal
Let us sing for Negros High
Let every heart sing
Let every voice ring
There's no cause to doubt or sigh
'Tis ever onward our course pursuing
Let doubt never our valor rule
And united we will all stand by
Our own High School.
