Aside from the sorry state of the Samar Provincial Hospital where I said the hospital should be run by a competent physician not just an administrator who's only stint in the medical field is administering Philhealth before being made as the HEALTH SECRETARY look what is happening to the hospitals in the entire country. Dengue lang ang alam. Dr Margarita Galon should replace him/her. Another thing that I discover is the road from Paranas to Catbalogan and Catbalogan to Gandara. Puro Catbalogan Samar iton. Hino man iton Congressman yana ngan hino man iton Governador. Nanay Anak puro KAWAT. When are we going to effect the necessary change in the province of Samar? Its about time that we learn how to play politics. Kay puro KAWATAN MAN pag pumalit hiton iyo boto karawta it kuwarta pero iboto iton aadi ha aton kasingkasing an matadong. Every time I visit the City of Catbalogan naagi ako pirme ha Tacloban kay waray man airport an Catbalogan. Maiha na ini nga airport pero naundang kay an pera para diyan ay ninanakaw? pati para sa daan, pati pondo para sa school, sa hospital NINANAKAW. Gahaman ang tawag diyan. PURO MAGNANAKAW PAGMATA NA KITA. IBOTO AN MATADONG NGAN MALALAUMAN. SUNTOK SA BUWAN BUT WE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE. Its about time if in the US they have Barack Ubama in Catbalogan City Samar we have to elect a new face who will save us from thieves. WAKE UP LETS ALL WAKE UP and fight corruption. An Governor suspended tungod hin corruption ayaw na gud naton iboto pa ulit. Madalagan kono ka Mayor ha Catbalogan City Samar kay tapos naman an iya termino. An governor kuno an iya anak nga babaye nga muhogon pa pero kawatan na kay Congresswoman naman. Diyos ko lets save Catbalogan City Samar and the entire Samar Province. Basilio A. Balasbas | balasbas.basilio@yahoo.com | 539 Ricarte Ext., San Antonio, San Pedro, Laguna Tuesday, August 19, 2008 at 09:59:42 PM PST I just came from my four (4) days vacation leave in Brgy Guinsorongan, Catbalogan City, Samar. As I've announced I will wait for my classmates and my loved one's in our fiesta but sad to say nobody came except my brother and a chum, anyway I enjoyed and I love every bit of my stint and hope to come back soon to fulfill my promise of permanently relocating in the place where I was born. I am planning of putting up a business when I settled permanently, by the way my condolences to the Brgy Chairman of Bgy Bunuanan for the passing of his better half I came to learn about it during my visit to Bgy. Guinsorongan. I also found out during my visit to the hospital the sorry state of our General Hospital. Diyos na maunawain ano ba ang ginagawa ng mga namumuno ng ating mga hospital. Ano itong Health Secretary natin dito lang ba siya sa Maynila? Dapat ang tawag sa kaniya ay Health Secretary ng Maynila. Saan ka nakakita na hospital nagkalat ang basura sa loob mismo ng hospital sa daraanan mo pa patungong pay ward o free ward. Only in Catbalogan City Samar. Please Mr. Secretary pay an unannounced visit to Samar General Hospital in Catbalogan City Samar and discover for yourself the sorry state of the hospital. My mother recently passed away in the same hospital and I am really concerned of the health of the already afflicted and are receiving medication, they might be contaminated with another disease because of the poor hygiene and sanitation of a supposed hospital charged with the health of the entire population of Samar province. Dapat Doctor talaga ang Health Secretary si Doctor Margarita Galon imbes na administrator lamang na ang alam lamang ay ang Dengue. Basilio A. Balasbas | balasbas.basilio@yahoo.com | 539 Ricarte Ext., San Antonio, San Pedro, Laguna Tuesday, August 19, 2008 at 05:26:17 PM PST my purpose was just to research about catbalogan, fortunately i ended up here in this informative website. though i'm a newbie in catbalogan city having been newly assigned just last week, i can say that the city has great potential. the place is attractive for investors- accessible, ready facilities, a supportive mayor... u can't go wrong actually... to all those from here, congratulations and keep it up. happy fiesta soon! ted | teps_cp@yahoo.com | tacloban city Monday, August 18, 2008 at 07:59:50 AM PST Howdy! My mom is from Calbiga, Samar and my dad is a Frenchman. We visited the Philippines a couple of years ago and had a great time in Calbiga and Catbalogan City. Your province is beautiful and has lots of potential for eco-tourism and spelunking. Maqueda Bay's sunsets in Catbalogan City were also spectacular and the islets, caves and coves we explored were fascinating. Please keep Samar green and eco-friendly. Hopefully the airport in Catbalogan City will also be finished soon to make travel from Manila much easier. Lastly, but not the least, thanks for the photos. Great job!

I read from Samar News that Samar's provincial government is initiating the completion of Catbalogan City's domestic airport. It's a wonderful piece of news. I'd love to visit Catbalogan City again after being away for almost twenty years. I sure hope they finish this project soon for the benefit of all Samareños, Catbaloganons included. I miss all my family and friends in Mercedes. To Tatay and Nanay, Gigi, Ria, Dayday and D.V.P. - I love you all! Ciao!

Since we are all planning to spend the rest of our lives in this beautiful part of the country I would like to see you in person so that we can interact in whatever social undertaking that we'll be having in the near future. When you visit the country again please passby our place in Laguna, its near the airport if you will be passing Sucat road. I have my email address or you may address it to my place of work at basilio.balasbas@fedex.com thanks and regards. Basilio A.

Nostalgia or past memories seeths in the reason why I would like to come home and mingle once more with my classmates in SSAT but everytime I am in Catbalogan everybody seems to hide. Balitaw bisan usa dire ko makita. This blog brings tears to my eyes even more kay an amon balay ha Guinsorongan nakita man tuloy naisip ko ang mga parents ko na pareho wala na all the more that I am emotional tears flowing freely while making this notes. My brother is now in Guinsorongan to finally reside back after so many years of stint in Cavite where his family resides. I'd like to follow suit since my children are already permanently settled in Laguna and my youngest will finish her studies this year. See you and lets help Catbalogan prosper. Basilio A. Balasbas | balasbas.basilio@yahoo.com | 539 Gen. Ricarte Ext., San Antonio, San Pedro, Laguna Saturday, July 05, 2008 at 02:49:44 PM PST An Kapitan ha Brgy Bunuanan is one of the well respected Brgy Chairman in the town of Catbalogan. We always complain of having a crook politician in our midst. Pwes Hi Kapitan Enteng Dacaynos is one of those who's upright. Dire Corrupt, hiya iton dapat nasa puesto para makabulig ha aton ngatanan, I mean he should be a Mayor or a Congressman para maayos na iton aton mga dalan. You know why he will not tinker with the public funds? Manager hiya hit PAFCIFIC Cooperative not to mention that he is already receiving his pension. Buligan ta hiya nga maiboto ka Mayor or Congressman, I guarantee you public funds will be in good hands and it will be spent where it is needed, road concreting, renovation of the school houses, monitoring the sea where dynamite fishing proliferates and what have you. If these crook politicians buy your votes take the money but vote for Enteng Dacaynos for the sake of our children and the future of our beloved Catbalogan and Samar province. God bless us all.

It certainly has changed a lot since my high school days at Samar National School in the '80's. Hope to visit Catbalogan City soon. Thank you Loida and Phil for having this website. You guys are amazing and need to be commended. All the best. Maria Lourdes Manguera-Madden | Toronto, Ontario, Canada Wednesday, April 16, 2008 at 10:08:55 AM PST I have not been to Catbalogan since I lived there in 1972-3. It really looks different. I wish I could come back for a visit Richard Dietzel | rndietzel@gmail.com | Washington City, Utah, USA Tuesday, April 15, 2008 at 04:01:24 PM PST I've been longing to see my classmates during my high school days at SSAT Class 1966. I saw on TV Manuel Uy being interviewed he was such a changed man. A great transformation. He was already sporting a mustache and a long hair. He can be a CEO of a very big company in Mindanao. He was a working student who passed the entrance test in UP Los Banos after our high school graduation in 1966, that was the last time I've heared about him. In my case I produced Jimmy Yangzon now a Colonel in the Army in my short stint in the Army ROTC in Catbalogan. Maybe we can help pull our resources together in improving Catbalogan. We can ask the help of our politicians in improving the streets and installing street lights just like what the Mayor of Muntinlupa City did on the first 60 days of his tenure. He defeated a very rich and influential clan. He just continued his libreng tubig all over the barangays. This simple gesture catapulted him to the seat of power in Muntinlupa City. Ayala Alabang and other big shopping centers in the country are under the City of Muntinlupa. It can be considered next to Makati City in a couple of years. And Catbalogan City will be in the mold of Makati City if only our leaders will have the same vision of a Jojo Binay or Aldrin San Pedro of Muntinlupa City. Mabuhay an Catbalogan City. Basilio A.

If you want picture other that what you see, make your own web site, that no problem. Don't preach your personal beliefs on government, politics and global warming, this is not the right platform.

Gina Cojuangco Gionta | Rochester, NewYork, U.S.A. Thursday, January 03, 2008 at 12:53:03 PM PST WOW!!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SITE. I WAS IN AWE LOOKING AT ALL THE PICTURES. AMAZING. I WAS HOME LAST JULY THROUGH AUGUST OF LAST YEAR BUT WHEN I WAS BROWSING THROUGH THESE PICTURES, I WAS HOMESICK AND I HAD A LONGING TO GO BACK AGAIN. I ORIGINALLY GREW UP IN MERCEDES AND LEFT SAMAR AFTER GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL. I DO HAVE A LOT OF FOND MEMORIES OF CATBALOGAN. I WAS KIND OF DISAPPOINTED THOUGH THE LAST TIME I WAS HOME BECAUSE SAMAR HAS OR HAD A BAD ROAD FROM ALLEN TO CATBALOGAN (I HOPE THE ROAD IS BETTER NOW). WE STAYED IN THE ROLET HOTEL ACROSS FROM SAMAR COLLEGE AND I THINK THAT PLACE IS THE BEST HOTEL IN CATBALOGAN. I HOPE THE NEXT TIME THAT YOU POST MORE PICTURES, YOU WILL HAVE MORE PICTURES OF MERCEDES, ESPECIALLY THE MERCEDES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL INSIDE AND OUT, AND THE SAMAR REGIONAL SCHOOL OF FISHERIES INSIDE AND OUT ALSO, AS WELL AS THE LITTLE MARKET MERCEDES HAS. YOUR EFFORT IS TRULY AND WONDERFULLY APPRECIATED. BY POSTING PICTURES OF AND AROUND CATBALOGAN EASES THE LONGINGS,EMPTINESS AND HOMESICKNESS OUR FELLOW KABABAYAN FEELS. YOUR SITE MADE A LOT OF CATBALOGANONS HAPPY AND BROUGHT THEM CLOSER TO HOME. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, I THANK YOU FOR A JOB WELL DONE.

It was just sad seeing the same old road which wasn't improved. My mom told me that, catbalogan is even more beautiful when she was a child. Maybe because politicians were less corrupt?!
