Ninong Johnny did another wonderful job.I had just spoken to his wife on Dec.31 and she was so happy to hear that I was out of our country and having a good life. I call them Ninong/Ninang since they are among our principal sponsors during my wedding to Bonifacio Torio's son Eddie. Also the late Col.Paulino C Piso, Polly Bautista ( resort owner in Baro) and some other couples that I really want to bang my head whose names I am trying to remember. But I am not going to forget their faces if ever I will see them or someone will mention their name. Regards and hope you had a wonderful New Year.
Respectfully,
Annie C Cano

Johnny really did a good job on this opus and I salute him for it. Lots of research went into this one so I guess a big congratulations is in order. I could never had read it if it was not sent to me by his son Anni. This would be a big addition to the stories written by Samuel Soloria, Francisco Malala, Glen Calderon et. al ( these historical accounts can be read in the sub-menu page of the Pang.Org right after you click the town of Asingan ). I would also like to say thanks a million to Ferdinand Marinas the webmaster of Pang. Org. He is the one in control over the existence of this commendable website. It has done a lot to many Asinganians putting names and links to faces which we have never seen but to whom we share a common denominator:being an Asinganian..!If you multiply this factor by the number of towns in Pangasinan, it will give you an idea of how much work he is doing everyday on his computer!
Of course history is changing everyday. Since Johnny wrote this story years ago, some names have changed. One I noticed is the name of Rizal Academy. It is now COLEGIO DE SAN LUIS BELTRAN, according to the current owner Mrs. Susan Delmendo Santos. I hope my townmates would e-mail me if there is anything they would like to add, modify or delete in this history of our town. Don't worry Annie, I myself could never remember all my wedding sponsors names even if these would bite me in the ______!!!!
