Hello, I check into your website quite
often, but get a bit disappointed as there is usually no new news or
letters on the site. I think that you have a wonderful site, and am
happy that it is on the web, but sure wish that more people of Siquijor
would write in from time to time, and let us, that have gone to other
countries know what is happening back there. It would be nice if some
"regular contributors", whether living on Siquijor or other
places would write an article ever so often informing others of what is
happening back there. I love the island of Siquijor, and have many
wonderful friends there. To me, it is so interesting just to hear of
familiar names and places from back there now that I have been away for
over a year. If someone reads this, I would really like to see some responses
the next time that I check in to Siquijor Online, probably the best
website on the web from our little island. Thank you, and God bless all
the nice folks from Siquijor. Gene Kallberg
It's a relief to have finally found a place to call my home
even if I am far away from it. Whenever I click on the site fond memories
overwhelm me. I feel like going back there and re-live once again my lost days
of innocence. Congratulations for taking advantage of the internet to bring
Siquijudnons back to the small mystical island -- SIQUIJOR-- that which they
have fondly called home. I'm very happy and thankful to the designer of this website, Thank u for
creating this! This will be a big help for the Siquijorians specially in this
very fast technology changes that happends everyday. I'm a native Siquijorian,
residing recently here in Angeles City and working as Computer Engineer here. I
wanted to contribute and add my link to this link if given a chance. Thank you
again and MORE POWER!!! DAGHANG SALAMAT sa website for siquijor! i very much appreciate the superb job! i don't care much if the news or events aren't that updated coz all i care is that i am able to see our beautiful island on the web, much that i miss being there terribly! i also would like to thank specifically to Mr. James Uy for the pix of the Siquijor Provincial Hospital where i used to work. Hmmm... but the laboratory was mislabelled (as info desk)! pero salamat gyud! i have now an easier way of telling my friends about my hometown, which i'm soooo proud of! GOD BLESS SIQUIJOR! Dr. Mayen M. Ambalong Congratulations to all of you who did a great job. Keep up the good work. Greetings from China. The website is pretty cool in design perspective but only the news and
events information is not updated and localized. Sometimes, being away from
home we always wanted to know even a little things of whats going on locally
without spending on LD. It's kind of a link to anywhere in the world as we all
know Siquijodnon where everywhere. Hope i can help. August 10, 2002 I just recently found your fine website, and click into it almost every time I use the computer. I lived in Lazi for ten years, along with my family and the 3 Filipino children that we adopted there. The 3 kids, my wife and I are now living in Vancouver, Washington, USA. My heart is always in the Philippines, and I am so happy to be able to read of our small island of Siquijor, and recognize the names and places mentioned there. We have been back in the states for ten months now, and it sort of feels like a foreign country here after living on Siquijor for so long. I have so many nice remembrances of Siquijor, and will visit there every chance I get. There are so many good friends there, and the beauty of the island still lingers in my mind. Siquijor will always be a part of my life no matter how long I am away from there. I have been reading on your website, about the differances of opinion of the things done by the officials and differant ones there. It makes me sad to read these things, but differances is just a part of living, whether it be in Siquijor or any other part of the world. The main thing is that we all do what is BEST FOR ALL, and not for the few that hold a particular view or belief. I hope and pray that this view will prevail in the leaders as well as the followers of Siquijor. Siquijor can be a great island, should jealosy, greed, dishonesty and like things be put out of each person, and that we all look to do the best for others. That is what is lacking in so many cases. I pray that somehow God will be allowed to do this, and have His way in the lives of ALL concerned on Siquijor island. I love the people living there, and wish the best to all of you that may read this commentary. I would be happy to hear from any of you that may remember me. My mailing address is: Gene Kallberg 612 W 28th St. Thank you, and I pray the best for all the fine people of Siquijor. Gene Kallberg PS..the 3 boys that we adopted are doing just fine here in the US, and love it here. They are such good boys, and I always get comments even from strangers on what good boys they are. My family and I love the boys just like we had born them ourselves, and are happy and proud that they are now legally our sons. Thank God July 25,2002 To: Hon. Gov. Orlando B. Fua Sr. Office Of the Governor Lone District,Siquijor Province Your Excellency: Peace of God be with you... Before i am going further, I would like first to introduce my own behalf. I am Olympio Perez- Balangitao, of legal age, a senior college student here in Foundation University , taking-up AB Public Service and a natural born of Cangmahanlod ,Tebjong Siquijor, Siq. Sir, I am very privilege upon finding our very own enticing web-site of the Siquijodnon .I was not expecting that we have it. That's why,I am very much proud for making it, because it definitely helps many peoples around the world to have a smoother access on information about our Island. It likewise helps increasing our local ,national and international tourists to know what really Siquijor is ,because through enter-net online they can find out news, events, forums ,archives,directory and most especially the totality of Siquijor Provence. Sir, i know that this web-site serves as a springboard for the promotion of our tourists that can help our island to earn more incomes. Salamat... Your constituent, Olympio P. Balangitao I am a purebred Siquijodnon having been born and raised in
Lazi, Siquijor. Graduated at Lazi High School class 1966. Got commissioned
in the Philippine Navy 1974. Experience includes works in supply,
administration, operations and training, finance and management. graduated
at PAL aviation school 1976 and worked as naval aviator up to 1981, then
1987 to 89. Been to all over from Batanes to Sibuto, and Kalayaan chain of
islands (the Spartley Sparatleys) in the western front. I established the
Coast Guard Aviation Group in 1998 and was its first Commander. At present
the Asst Director, Phil Coast Guard Project Management Office, managing
multi-million dollar foreign assisted projects coming from Japan,
Australia and Spain. Am looking for proponents of patrol boats, aids to
navigation equipment, marine pollution control and search and rescue
vessels and equipment. Currently, I head the Association of Siquijorians
in Metro Manila. Would like to establish a provincial, national and
international directory of Siquijorians. Would be grateful if you can help
me in this regard. I'd like to come up with a Siquijorian foundation that
will serve as a vehicle of all Siquijorians in carrying out reforms and
progress for Siquijor. My battlecry: Cooperation and Unity for Progress
of Siquijor (CUPS). Its very informative! congratulations.. I suggest the following items to be supplied with details from those who know to make this web more attractive: 1.Lets talk about "the rape of Siquijor's Natural resources" which is unknown to almost all young siquijorian. Did you know that trees were truncated in the forests of siquijor before the world war II? ...and now what happened to the "lazi mine"?...another ecological destruction for us to forget? 2. Growing number of female Siquijodnon who are now married to foreigners. this is "not because of Love but because of Poverty"... is this not alarming? 3. Most of our beaches are now owned by foreigners or
Siquijodnons who are in business tandems with the former. This is alarming
because some local fishermen are finding it difficult to land in their own
"painted" coasts (once upon a time "tagboanan sa labasira") A job well done for all the people behind
this website.... this is another way to promote Siquijor.....keep
updating!!!! Regards to all Larenians!!!!!! HeLLo!! i have just checked out our web
page and i'm so glad that there are people who have spent their time and
effort just to promote our small but beautiful island, siquijor... hoping
all of us will be united for the betterment of our island... Let's be
PROUD to say " i am a SIQUIJODNON!!! "....:) I am browsing today and found this website. I think you did a good job. So keep up the good work. I saw the pictures of the Siquijor Hospital with Auntie Emer, Auntie Glory and Ann. I don't think she knew me but her mom was my teacher before. Again it is great. Aloha,Debie Flora Miquiabas Maddock show d best of the place...discriminate voodoo as
possible......make it a topic to be forgotten.....
