Salamat po, Ma'am and Sir

"Teachers, I believe, are the most responsible and important members of society because their professional efforts affect the fate of the earth." - Helen Caldicott

Today is World Teacher's Day, and to thank not only my/our old teachers but today's wonderful second parents too, I posted some pictures that are readily on hand.  It would have been an epic "hail to the teachers, then and now" post if only I have pictures of all our beloved teachers, but that's I think is asking too much, so. =)

 

As a caption said in one of the murals in a wall of an elementary school along the road toward Capalonga: "Be proud you're a teacher.  The future is in your hands." I say, thank you Ma'ams and Sirs for ensuring we'll have a brighter future. 

To the owners of the pictures, thank you so much =) It's always a pleasure sharing these old photos.

Our little Paradise, a photographer's haven...or heaven, whichever you prefer.

In this new age, taking picture is as easy as 123.  Now we get to snap pictures of relatively anything and show the world our work of art, whether we are a 90-year old texting lola or a huge-lenses-hanging-in-the-neck professional paparazzi or a cool backpack-clad point and shoot beauty appreciating artist.  We use pictures to tell the world how we feel and subsequently influence the world as to what they will feel.

Here is another set of pretty pictures taken in Capalonga.  I am under the impression that this is a Department of Tourism related thing, which is good (I think) because we get to see our little Paradise once again under the spotlight.

Pictures above are owned by Mr. Alex Jimenez, find more here. 

 

 

And these are from Mr. Thomas Tan III, his album is located here.

Our big Thank you! for sharing these to us.

In a related note, did you know that we (Capalonga) also have a tourism facebook page?  Let me just point out that this is under a different administration of course--more government-wise.  Please take time to pay them a visit here to see lots more of images which show how our sleepy town has begun to awake.

And maybe in your next visit home, you can take pictures of YOUR special places in Capalonga, and would share it with us too.
