MBMG National Convention

The 41 delegates from Vigan, Sinait, and Santa of the Nueva Segovia Mother Butler Mission Guild participated in the two-day MBMG National Convention held at the SMX Convention Center Clark. The gathering was filled with spiritual nourishment through the celebration of the Holy Mass, inspiring talks, and the conduct of the national elections.

As we gathered in prayer and fellowship, we could not help but miss Msgr. Roque Reyes. How wonderful it would have been to see him concelebrating the Mass with the priests and bishops, guiding us with his wisdom, sharing meals and laughter, and creating yet another cherished memory with the guild he loved so dearly. His presence was deeply felt in our hearts throughout the convention.

Of course, no visit to Pampanga would be complete without savoring its renowned cuisine. Our delegates delighted in local favorites such as sisig, tokwaโ€™t baboy, tortang alimango, buro, pinasingawang gulay, and many other Kapampangan specialties. Shopping stops at SM, Beautรฉderm, and S&R added moments of fun and fellowship to the journey. Our sincerest gratitude once again to Ms. Rei Anicoche Tan for her generosity and for the special discounts extended to our group.

Before heading home, the delegates decided to visit Bishop Nick Vaquilar at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Pedro T. Orata (Bactad), Urdaneta City, Pangasinan, where he was conducting a pastoral visit. We were warmly welcomed by the parish priest, Rev. Fr. Christopher Herrera, a former student of Bishop Nick, who graciously prepared dinner for the entire group. We were likewise in awe of the magnificent church he built in just four yearsโ€”a testament to faith, perseverance, and the generosity of a loving community.

It was the perfect finale to our journey. More than a convention, it became a pilgrimage of faith, friendship, and gratitude. We returned home with renewed spirits, strengthened bonds, and hearts overflowing with blessings. As we continue our mission , may we carry with us the lessons, encounters, and inspirations of these precious days. For in every prayer shared, every meal enjoyed, every friendship strengthened, and every act of service offered, God quietly reminds us that we are never merely traveling togetherโ€”we are journeying together toward Him.

A Tale of Two Musicals

During our recent trip to Manila to celebrate my son Carloโ€™s birthday, we took the opportunity to indulge in one of our favorite family pastimesโ€”watching live theater. On two successive evenings, we watched two very different musicals: The Notebook, based on the beloved film of the same title, and Bongga Ka โ€™Day! The Annie Batungbakal Musical.

The Notebook was fast-paced, heartwarming, and sprinkled with just the right amount of comic relief. Its minimalist yet elegant stage design allowed the story and performances to shine. While most of the songs were unfamiliar to us, they beautifully complemented the narrative. What truly stood out were the actorsโ€™ remarkable performances; their emotional depth, powerful voices, and impeccable projection drew the audience into every scene.

The following day brought us to a completely different world with Bongga Ka โ€™Day!. The storyline unfolded through a soundtrack that felt like a reunion with old friends. Songs such as Pers Lab, Annie Batungbakal, Manila, Ikaw ang Miss Universe ng Buhay Ko, Langit Na Naman, and Beh Buti Nga instantly energized the audience. You could feel the collective excitement each time the opening notes of a familiar tune filled the theater.

Atasha Muhlach did well in the lead role, although we couldnโ€™t help but imagine how someone like Kim Molina might have interpreted the character. Like The Notebook, the production boasted an impressive set design. Among the cast, KD Estrada stood out with his commanding stage presence, rich vocal timbre, and excellent voice projection.

In the end, these two musicals offered very different experiences โ€” one tugging gently at the heartstrings with a timeless love story, the other celebrating the vibrant soundtrack of a generation. Yet both reminded us of the magic of live theater: its ability to make us laugh, remember, feel, and connect. As the curtains fell on both productions, we left the theater with more than just memories of great performance; we carried home a renewed appreciation for the artistry, passion, and storytelling that keep Philippine theater alive and thriving.

The conference was organized by my friend, PCEP Head Sonny Cristobal, an adopted son of Vigan and the writer-director of Viganโ€™s celebrated zarzuelas Babae ng Digmaan, Tres Patrimonio, and Q: The Musical.

Joining the distinguished roster of speakers were National Artist for Literature Virgilio Almario, who discussed decolonization and sustainable development through the reclamation of our collective memory; Rear Admiral Jay Tristan Tarriela, spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea of the Philippine Coast Guard; Ar. Jesuben Angel S. Bongolan of the NCCA Regional Exchange Unit; and Atty. Noel R. Del Prado of the Quezon City Government.

The Capacity Building on Culture-Based Governance Working Conference brought together local leaders to explore the vital role of culture and heritage in sustainable development, governance, planning, and community development.

As Vigan has long demonstrated, culture is not merely a reminder of our past; it is a powerful guide for our future. When governance is rooted in identity, heritage, and community values, development becomes not only sustainable but also meaningful, inclusive, and enduring.

However, as often happens in life, plans changed. With Malacaรฑang declaring September 10 a special non-working day in Quezon City and Pampanga due to inclement weather, our original schedule could not push through. Yet, what could have been a disappointment turned into an equally meaningful and memorable journey for our 35 pax delegation.

We began with a visit to the Minor Basilica and Parish of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary in Angeles City. From there, we proceeded to S & R for shopping then we enjoyed a delightful lunch at Celyโ€™s Carinderia, where we feasted on authentic Kapampangan cuisine, tortang alimango, pinasingawang gulay with buro, camaro (ararawan) sautรฉed in tomatoes, onions, and garlic, fried hito, bulalo, and many other local specialties.

The rest of the afternoon was spent at SM Clark. In the evening, we shared stories, laughter, and fellowship during our bonding activities, made even more special by the birthday of Architect Ludivina Lozano and by the presence of my son Carlo and granddaughter Yuna.

The following day, we were warmly welcomed at the Beautรฉderm Headquarters, where we had a productive exchange of ideas with civil society leader Dr. Frankie Villianueva, Ms. Mina Pantig Joson from the Planning and Development office of Angeles LGU and and Vincent Catacutan of the Department of the Interior and Local Government. The discussions provided valuable insights on strengthening partnerships between local governments and civil society organizations. We are likewise deeply grateful to Ms. Rei Anicoche Tan for her generosity in hosting our lunch.

Many of our delegates, especially the ladies, delighted in browsing the bags, clothing, and other products available at the Beautรฉderm Headquarters before we began our journey back home to Vigan.

To everyone who joined this benchmarking activity, thank you for your enthusiasm, flexibility, and camaraderie.

This activity more importantly,
strengthened the unity that bind us together as members of the Vigan Peopleโ€™s Council. Sometimes, the most meaningful journeys are not defined by the destinations we reach, but by the people we travel with and the memories we create along the way.

May the lessons we learned, the partnerships we strengthened, and the friendships we deepened inspire us to continue working hand in hand for the growth of our civil society organizations, the Vigan Peopleโ€™s Council, and our beloved City of Vigan. Together, we can make a difference, and together, we can build a stronger and more compassionate community.

Happy Birthday to our son, Juan Carlo Medina!๐Ÿฅฐ

Today, we celebrate not only another year of your life, but also the many lives you have touched through your love, dedication, and service.

To me and dad Ferdi, you have always been a loving and thoughtful son. To your sisters, a caring and dependable brother. To Uno and Yuna, a devoted father whose love and guidance will forever shape their lives. To your friends, a loyal companion who remains steadfast through both joyful and difficult times.

As a leader, you led with compassion and courage, especially during the challenges of the pandemic. Your commitment to public service brought honor to Vigan through achievements in education, health, the Seal of Good Local Governance, and many other recognitions. You championed innovation through the Vigan Tourist App and helped steer the City Government toward ISO certification, leaving a legacy of excellence and progress.

But beyond the awards and accomplishments, what makes me most proud is the kind of person you have become a man of integrity, humility, and genuine concern for others.

May God continue to bless you with good health, wisdom, strength, and a heart that never grows weary of serving. Keep shining your light and inspiring those around you.

Happy Birthday, Carlo. No achievement can compare to the joy of being your mother. We love you deeply, and we thank God every day for the gift that you are to our family, to Vigan, and to all whose lives you continue to touch.

GOODBYE APO ROQUE REYES๐Ÿ™

The Balikatan sa Vigan, Inc. recently embarked on a pilgrimage to Batangasโ€”a journey that, unbeknownst to us then, would become the last pilgrimage we would share with our beloved spiritual adviser, Msgr. Roque Reyes.

Our pilgrimage brought us to many meaningful places: the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Sebastian in Lipa, Casa Segunda in Taal, the Minor Basilica of St. Martin of Tours, the Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Caysasay, and finally, the Parish and International Shrine of Padre Pio. At each sacred destination, Msgr. Roque celebrated the Holy Mass, nourishing not only our spirits but also strengthening the bonds of friendship among us.

Along the way, we enjoyed the rich culture, history, food, and hospitality of Batangasโ€”from lomi and goto to kapeng barako, putong alsa, and putong malagkit. We shared stories, laughter, meals, and moments of reflection that made the trip even more memorable.

Our return journey tested our patience and endurance as severe flooding and traffic in Pampanga turned what should have been an ordinary trip home into a grueling 26-hour journey. Yet even that challenge became part of the adventure we experienced together.

Looking back, what makes this pilgrimage truly special is not the destinations we visited but the person with whom we shared them. Msgr. Roque was more than our spiritual adviser. He was a mentor, a historian, a source of wisdom, and above all, a dear friend. His presence brought meaning to every pilgrimage, and his stories, humor, and faith made every journey richer.

Today, we treasure these memories even more, knowing they were among the last we would share with him. Though he can no longer travel beside us, his prayers, guidance, and friendship continue to accompany us wherever we go.

Thank you, Apo Rory, for walking with us in faith and friendship. The roads we traveled together may have ended, but the memories we made and the lives you touched will remain in our hearts forever.

To help ensure the success and sustainability of these endeavors, our barangay presidents have been tasked to monitor and mentor the recipients. Their guidance and support are vital in helping these livelihood projects grow and thrive. Unfortunately, some barangays were unable to submit beneficiaries who met the established requirements, limiting their participation in this batch of assistance.

As we launch our second batch of livelihood projects, we extend our warmest congratulations and best wishes to all recipients. May these humble beginnings blossom into lasting opportunities, bringing hope, dignity, and a brighter future to every family.

Together, let us continue proving that when communities unite in service and compassion, lives are transformed and dreams become possible.๐Ÿ’™

A Tale of Joanaโ€™s 2025 and 2026 Birthday Celebrations๐Ÿซฐ

Joana never fails to turn her birthday into a memorable experience for family and friends.

In 2025, she took everyone on a journey around the world with an Air Travel theme. Guests arrived dressed in their best travel attire, complete with luggage in tow. At the check-in counter, they received their boarding passes after a fun weigh-in, while chocolates and candies awaited them in the departure lounge. The younger guests were ushered to the โ€œeconomy section,โ€ where food packs were served, while the adults enjoyed a โ€œbusiness classโ€ experience with plated meals. Everyone received toiletry kits as travel souvenirs, and the night was filled with laughter, games, and wonderful memories.

This year, Joana transformed the celebration into an elegant Casino Night. Guests came dressed in black, creating a sophisticated atmosphereโ€”except for one cheerful guest who arrived in bright red and instantly became part of the nightโ€™s stories! The younger crowd enjoyed the regular gaming area, while the seniors were welcomed to the high-rollers floor. Buffet stations delighted the younger guests, while table service added a touch of luxury for the adults. Bingo, card games, and roulette kept everyone entertained. And before anyone worries, all bets were placed using play money, ensuring that the only thing at stake was fun and camaraderie. The laughter continued well past midnight as family and friends enjoyed every moment together.

Happy Birthday, our dearest Joana! More than the creative themes, beautiful decorations, and exciting games, what makes your celebrations truly special is the love, warmth, and joy you bring to everyone around you.

His milestone birthday was marked with two beautiful celebrations, both beginning with a Thanksgiving Mass. On August 9, the officers and members of the Nueva Segovia MBMG gathered to share a fellowship lunch with our dear celebrant. Then, on his actual birthday, August 16, priests, relatives, friends, and loved ones came together for a memorable merienda in his honor.

Through the years, Apo Rory has generously shared not only his time, wisdom, and spiritual reflections, but also the warmth of his home and the treasures of his faith. His steadfast guidance has helped our organization remain focused on its mission and faithful in the fulfillment of our responsibilities. We are deeply grateful for his presence in our lives and for the many ways he has nurtured our spiritual growth.

Happy 75th Birthday, Apo Rory! May the Lord continue to bless you with good health, strength, and abundant grace as you carry on His mission. Thank you for being a shepherd, mentor, and friend to us all. May the love and kindness you have so generously shared through the years return to you a hundredfold, and may your life continue to inspire generations to walk faithfully in Godโ€™s light.

It feels like only yesterday when they entered the world so tiny and fragile that they had to spend their first month in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of The Medical City before finally coming home. Looking at them nowโ€”healthy, intelligent, active, and full of lifeโ€”is nothing short of a blessing.

They have also reached that stage where birthday parties are no longer their first choice. This year, all they wanted was a family trip to Baguio City. We enjoyed discovering restaurants we had never tried before like Hiraya and Pugon , explored a strawberry farm that was sadly flooded just a few days later, and spent precious time with their twin cousins from my nephew Errol son of my first cousin Mayen. Adding to the fun was their friends Bella and her brother. The children had a wonderful time riding horses at Camp John Hay, playing at the Baguio Country Club playground, and enjoying a friendly round of mini golf.

What made this birthday even more special was that they never once remembered to ask for physical gifts. Their greatest joy came from being together with family, sharing laughter, creating memories, and simply enjoying each otherโ€™s company. Seeing their smiles, hearing their excited stories, and watching their boundless enthusiasm filled our hearts with gratitude.

As grandparents, there is no greater gift than witnessing these once-fragile little girls grow into kind, joyful, and appreciative young ladies. Nine years ago, we prayed for their strength and survival. Today, we thank God for the beautiful lives they continue to live and for the countless blessings they bring to our family. May they always treasure what truly matters, the love they share and the memories they create with those who love them most.๐Ÿฅฐ
