(Dec 10 2006) - Mon (Ramon) Orap who is based in Sydney, NSW, Australia sent this response to my email. ---Djoma
"Vicente Orap is my uncle.
My family lived near the crossing (Dizon, Macatlang ). Rene Magno - son of Atty Loduvico Magno, was our neighbour. Our house is in the corner of the roads going to Mapandan and Landas/David. I used to sit outside my house when I was a teenager waiting for the trucks and pull some of the sugar canes. That was my life... Nothing much to do then but surely we miss those little adventures. As you know it takes a good practice before you can pull around 10 "onas" to share among your little friends. You were considered to be a hero and provider then.
Dont know much of the Oraps in Macayug but I am sure they were under the spell of the local power at the time.
By the way, would it be ok if we can put our coming class re union in the site? Details are:
Grand Re union of the Mangaldan High School Class 1972.
Dates July 6-8 2007.
We are expectig many attendees from New York, Cali, England, Italy,the Saudis, India. Hongkong , and of course our local classmates in Mangaldan whose efforts and assistance are endless in organising the coming gig."
Thanks mate
Cherio...
