I Love Taruc

I never liked people who gossip ALL THE TIME. Or the ones who have nothing better to do than watch out for people to screw up then talk about it. Or the ones who made talking about other people their lifetime job.

The statement above is totally unrelated with my post. Or is it?

Anyway, I love Taruc. I love where I came from and I am proud to be Tarucanon. No matter where I go, I will always come back here. This is HOME.

Sometime back in 2011, after so much pondering, I decided to make a page for Taruc where all the Tarucanons can interact no matter where they are in the world. My goal is to keep them updated about everything. Just like NOKIA, Connecting People. Hihihi. I know, I'm so funny, right? Pwede nako mag-apply sa 22nd St.? Bwahahaha

So before I made it official, I had to make sure that I can fully work on this page, update it regularly, so on and so forth. At first, I was the only administrator of the page and later on, I realized that I can not do it on my own. I need help from people who are actually IN Taruc. Kahibaw na man mo, NPA (No Permanent Address) baya ko. bwahaha So I asked some people if they are willing to be admins and that if they can do the responsibilities it entails. Despite their busy school schedules and household chores, they were able to update the page every now and then. We have a few activities up our sleeves and we're slowly trying to  work on them. God-willing, it will take place within this year.

One project we have done successfully is the Sto. Nino Feeding Program spearheaded by my cousin, Ate Jenjen (cousin-in-law, hihihi). Without the support of our fellow Tarucanons here and abroad, the two feeding programs we had in Taruc Proper and Lower Calingatnan would not have been possible. So once again, from the deepest recesses of my hypothalamus, A VERY BIG THANK YOU!

I am proud to say that we didn't use a single centavo for personal gains. We have proper liquidation posted and we did our program with a very honest heart and with the sole purpose of feeding the children living in our barangay. So with that, I hope we gained the trust of the people to help us again with yet another feeding program next year. We are all thinking of making it an annual activity. We are accepting volunteers to do the survey and for helping in the preparation of the said project. Whatever's left of the money we had, we donated it for the children's snacks during the Sinulog dance contest in Albuera. So not a single centavo was wasted.

In relation to this, we are also accepting orders for t-shirt printing. We have three designs now, one being the "I <3 Taruc" design and the other two are still on the works. If you have inquiries regarding the orders and printing, please don't hesitate to send me a message in Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr, and if you do have my number, just text me. :D

Forgive my fat-face. hihihi And my very existent eyebags.
