(Mini-Thoughts) Pozorrubio will always be the idyllic town I will remember and treasure all my life. It was here where I spent much of my thrilling, adventuresome, memorable and exciting childhood years. This is always that exhilarating feeling whenever I go to or pass through this 5th district municipality which is now under the stewardship of the charming Emma Chan. Very recently, it marked its Town Fiesta 2009. I was there not only for the fiesta alone but also for another nostalgic purpose which suddenly cropped up while I was there! It was the reason for my rare chance to again meet with my batch mates at the town’s old but sturdy St. Philomena’s Academy, my alma mater. Were it not for the fiesta celebration, I would not have seen my former classmates a new after some, uh, 40 years. I was in Pozorrubio to see Mayor Emma, a dear friend of mine, last January 5. She was then busy having a conference with certain balikbayans. In their conversations with the mayor while having lunch inside the office, I heard my name mentioned, plus the name of my class president during my SPA senior year in 19… oh, never mind! It was indeed a pleasant surprise for me when I realized that these balikbayans were actually my SPA classmates manaya! Oh my God! They were there older but still friendly and gregarious! Expectedly, many things happened among us after that. I was assigned by our class president and class valedictorian then, Ginofreo “Gin” Quesada (now based in Saudi Arabia) to lead in the organizing work for an SPA class reunion. We started to schedule meetings and had a truly jolly time reminiscing our happy past. Incidentally, we also had certain balikbayan classmates who supported Ms. Pozorrubio Town Fiesta 2009 candidates for the big celebration. Californian candidate Vivien Ritualo Marquez, who eventually garnered; while Hawaii – based Gamaliel Eleno Jr. went for Hawaiin candidate Noemi Banda Laguit, who eventually annexed the crown and reigned as Mrs. Pozorrubio 2009. These people joined other Pozorrubians abroad who deliberately came home precisely to be part of the fiesta celebration. It was a worthy and much – needed visit from you, indeed, my dear batchmates! It’s nice to note that, although we have all grown older, the warm camaraderie still exists and persists! Tangay – tangayen da tayo! |

“The Pozorrubio Hymn, as with the other symbols of the municipality, should enthuse each and everyone of us to be forever proud of being Pozorrubians wherever we find ourselves, and should inspire us to dream, to plan and to work together for the progress of our town and our people.” Per Resolution No. 38 – 030209 approved unanimously on March 2, 2009 during the regular session of the Sangguniang Bayan, the revised Pozorubio hymn has been adopted as the official municipal hymn of the town. The original hymn was composed and conceptualized by Mel Jovellanos in the year 2006. Since then, it had undergone a series of refinements in its melody and composition. Its lyrics were revised in tandem by SBM Dennis C. Uy, District II Supervisor Dr. Rolando Amansec and municipal resident writer Jing Villamil. Musical arrangement was contracted to Gere Domingo. On January 9, 2009, at the opening program of the Community and Balikbayan Night in celebration of the 139th Founding Anniversary and Town Fiesta, the hymn was first officially heard in public. By virtue of the resolution, Mayor Emma Chan instructed all schools and other government and semi-government offices to include the singing of the Pozorrubio Hymn during Flag-Raising rites and before the start of any significant occasion wherein the various sectors or members of the community are one in solidarity and purpose. In her letter of instruction, the mayor writes: the Pozorrubio Hymn, as with the other symbols of the municipality, should enthuse each and everyone of us to be forever proud of being Pozorrubians wherever we find ourselves, and should inspire us to dream, to plan and to work together for the progress of our town and our people. Below is a printout of the lyrics of Pozorrubio Hymn. The CD copy of the Pozorrubio Hymn is available upon request. |
