Mahal kong mga Philippines-Pacific team members,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful semester. I meet some of you one campus once in a while. I am always happy to give and get a hug particularly since the temperature is getting less and less like Maui's.
Lucy Peros continues to inform us about some of our favorite people in Maui. Mr. Cabalce passed on three weeks ago. His best buddies, Mr. Arreola and Mr. Baggao, were much affected by this event. I was too. I wonder whether Puno, who interviewed him, had a visitation from Maui lately.
Fortunately, the DVDs of their oral history interviews as well as the transcripts were already mailed to each of them. I hope that Mr. Cabalce was able to view his together with his family before he got sick.
Uring and Laro will be working on preparing copies of the oral history interviews for distribution to academic institutions with thriving programs on Asian and Pacific studies soon. Eventually there will be other students and researchers who will be doing what we sang in "Gapu kadakayo" : agsursuro kam ta naadal yo.
