TO AWARD SPONSORS
As a token of appreciation and recognition of their
concern for the future and welfare of poor Buluseño youths, the
sponsors of the four scholars who have just graduated from
college this year will be the major awardees during the Pista sa
Maynila celebration of Damayan-Buluseño, Inc. on July 13, 2003
at the Knights of Columbus Clubhouse.
Among the recipients of the award is the family of the
late Mayor Bernardo R. Sayarot of Mabitac, Laguna, who was
killed in an ambush along the highway in Teresa, Rizal, more
than a year ago. Mayor
Sayarot was the sponsor of Lea Balderama of Barangay San
Bernardo who graduated with the degree in Architectural Drafting
from the Sorsogon State College.
Mayor Sayarot was also the sponsor of Evelyn Diño, a
graduate in education from the Philippine Normal University in
Manila and now teaching in Texas, USA.
He also sponsored Luzviminda Fragio-Ballesteros who is
now a public school teacher in Bulusan.
Aside from being a scholarship sponsor, the late Mayor
Sayarot had been very supportive of the various civic and
humanitarian projects of Damayan-Buluseño, Inc. and had
employed a number of Buluseños in his business establishments.
To be awarded also is La Tondeña Foundation, Inc. which
sponsored the scholarship of Marlon Rabulan who took up
Electrical Engineering at the Technological University of the
Philippines. His
scholarship was made possible by Maj. General Cesar F. Fortuno
who was then a top executive of La Tondeña Distellers, Inc.
Another awardee is Mr. Reynaldo Labrador.
He sponsored the scholarship of Cesar L Gacosta who
finished Computer Science at the AMA Computer College in Legaspi
City.
The fourth awardee is the anonymous sponsor of Salvacion
Gardon who is now a graduate in Elementary Education from the
Bicol University in Legaspi City.
The sponsor who remains incognito for the past four years
has decided to come out in the open during the program, receive
the award and extend his personal felicitations to Salvacion for
successfully finishing her course.
ANOTHER
SCHOLAR GRADUATES
Another
scholar, Marlon A. Rabulan, graduated this year from
Technological University of the Philippines (TUP) with an
Electrical Engineering degree.
Marlon’s
scholarship was sponsored by La Tondeña Foundation, Inc. which
was made possible by retired Maj. Gen. Cesar F. Fortuno who was
then a top executive of the said company.
A
valedictorian when he graduated in 1998 at the Bulusan National
Vocational and Technical School, Marlon is the son of Mr. &
Mrs. Santiago Rabulan of Barangay Madlawon.
BULUSEÑA
PLACES 7TH IN GEODETIC ENG'G BOARD EXAMS
Edelyn
G. Fortes, the fifth child of Ruben Fortes of Barangays San
Isidro and Looban, and the late Salvacion Guevarra of Barangay
San Roque – ranked 7th among the 76 out of 187
examinees who took and successfully passed the Board
Examinations for Geodetic Engineers last January 16, 2003 in
Manila.
It was indeed a close fight that with a general rating of
85.40, Edelyn was just 1.40 points behind the 1st
placer.
A
consistent achiever since her elementary days at the Bulusan
Central School where she graduated with the top honors in 1991,
Edelyn has been bringing home honors not only for herself but
also for her family, friends, school, and to her hometown.
She continued her winning streak at the Ramon Magsaysay
High School – Cubao where she eventually graduated
Valedictorian in 1995, and at the University of the Philippines
in Diliman, Quezon City where she finished her undergraduate
studies.

BULUSAN
HAS NEW LADY LAWYER
After
thirteen years, Bulusan has produced a second lady lawyer,
Marissa Españo-Magpusao, the twenty-seven year old daughter of
Mr. & Mrs. Galicano F. Españo of Barangay San Isidro,
Bulusan.
The
first was Atty. Genie Gapas-Agbada, daughter of Mr. & Mrs.
Geronimo Gapas of Barangay Sabang.
She became a lawyer in 1990 and is now a Solicitor III at
the Office of the Solicitor General.
Having been with the OSG for more than ten years, she is
now ripe to become a judge, a position she expects to be given
her by the appointing lawyer.
Marissa
or Atty. Magpusao is now the Legislative Staff Officer at the
office of Quezon City Councilor Cyrus Lanot.
To
become a certified public accountant (CPA) was her first dream.
But her father wanted her to become a lawyer.
To please him, she enrolled in Political Science at the
University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City where she
graduated in 1997.
She
quit for a year when she got married to Engr. Michael Magpusao
after her graduation.
The following year, she took up law at the San Sebastian
College and graduated in year 2002.
Before the end of the same year, she took up the bar
examinations the result of which was released last February
where her name was among the successful examinees.
Isang
as she is fondly called by her family and friends, was an active
youth leader during her student days.
In fact, she was elected to the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK)
in 1992 at Barangay South Triangle, Quezon City.
In 1996, she became the SK Chairman when Mr. Lanot was
elected Barangay Captain of the same area.
When Captain Lanot was elected president of the League of
Barangay Captains of Quezon City and eventually became a City
Councilor, he took with him Atty. Magpusao to his office at the
City Hall.
Now
that her father’s dream for her has been realized, she intends
to work in another government agency where she can get a
permanent position.
That way, she can pursue her course in accountancy and
fulfill her own dream of becoming a CPA.
In
a few more years, God willing, she will be the first Buluseña
CPA-lawyer.
