HeRo leaves 'with his boots on'
For many Mangaldanians, HeRo (Herminio Romero) is better known as the accomplished people-centered politician. To me, Tio Hermie is held affectionately as HeRo, the journalist, despite becoming a politician, a man who sought to inform the people and wake them up to the possibility of fulfilling dreams of a Mangaldan as a community of people willing to work together and bring about a more equal distribution of opportunities for a better life.
Acting in swift military precision, newly chosen MIO3 Executive Chairman Fred Visperas Martinez, who hails from Barangay Gueguesangen and is now a long time resident of Honolulu, Hawaii, has set about to start the preparations for the 3rd grand reunion of Mangaldanians to be held on Oct 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
He is solidly supported by the previous leadership teams of MIO1 and MIO2 as well as the very active members of MNHS59ers.
Fred is married to the former Susan Mamenta of Tayug , Pangasinan and is a retired nurse . They are blessed with one son , Melord ( and wife Eloisa ) and two grandsons , Brooks who is 13 years old and Kelsen , 8 years old.
