OLD PIX





I just unearth some pictures of my people back in the 60s. I can't believe we used to look like this... :)

pehed tep inblogmoya! I have been thinking of doing it pero... yea, what a metamorphosis:) kaya tuloy kung minsan eh yung mga "ignorante" tungkol sa atin 'pag nakita tayo, hindi sila naniniwala na sa tribo tayo:) tatanungin pa kung taga-bundok nga ba tayo!:(

Hmmm... Good pictures, sis!

Progress has made us what we are now. But the barrios would still look like these old pictures. Nothing wrong with that though.

The pictures remind me of my visit to Lagawe once upon a time.

Was there for a week and lived in one of the huts there, ate their food and had fund with them. Made friends with many of the locals. I wish I could go back and visit them again one day.

Welcome, any day. :)
