The
'80s marked also the birth of Damayan Buluseño, Inc. (DBI),
an organization of Buluseños living in Metro Manila,
which provides assistance to and development
opportunities among Buluseños, like employment
opportunities, medical assistance for the poor,
scholarship, relief and financial assistance for the
development of Bulusan.
Starting
out as a loose group out to muster support for a town
mate then undergoing trial in Manila but whom they
believed was wrongly accused, DBI went on to become a
duly registered organization which, with its heretofore
unseen zeal and popular support, became one of the
province's most active organizations, under the
leadership of its founding president, Rogelio F.
Fuentes. To date, it continues to fulfill its vision and
provides an avenue for community leadership, pride in
the hometown, brotherhood, and prosperity as ideals
worthy of pursuit.
