inspired by the theme: Saan ka man sa mundo, balik mindoro. 
i wrote this song for all mindorenos out there.. the title itself reminds us that, gaano man kalayo ang ating narating, iisang karanasan pa rin ang ating babalikan, at yun ay ang mga araw sa sarili nating bayan.
 

SAAN KA MAN SA MUNDO

Words and Music by: Louie M. Dalisay

Barcenaga, Naujan, Oriental Mindoro

SAAN KA MAN SA MUNDO… BALIK MINDORO

KUMUSTA NA MGA KAIBIGAN?

SADYA NAMANG NAIIBA

ITO’Y ISANG PAANYAYA

SA MASAYANG PAGKIKITA

IPAGPAPALIT PA BA ANG LUNTIANG PALAYAN

ANG MAYAMANG KARAGATAN, NA AKING KINALAKHAN

MALILIMUTAN BA NAMAN ANG HIMIG NG KALIKASAN

SA BUNDOK AT KAPATAGAN NA ATING KINAGISNAN

ANG PAYAPANG DAIGDIG SA PUSO NG KABUKIRAN

ANO PA ANG HINIHINTAY

MAGKAPIT KAPIT NA NG KAMAY

TAYO AY MAGPIPYESTA

DAHIL MULI NAGSAMA SAMA

BAWAT ISA’Y MAY PASALUBONG

MAKULAY NA KARANASAN

HWAG KA LANG MAHIHIYA,

My condolences to Ninfa Medina-Saunders for the demise of her mother, to Melot Santos for the death of his mom, and to the family of our classmate, the late Dante Dimayacyac. My heart went out for all of you. After the passing of my mother, Viring I was left with my Lola Kindang who just suffered a stroke yesterday morning. She's confined at the FEU-ICU Hospital here in Regalado, Fairview, Q.C. She has been with me, my family, my children and grandchildren for the last 35 plus years. We are all praying for her, but God's will be done. My sister Juliet and my brother Jun consider Lola K a great part of our lives.

Hello Mga Mangyans (I’m one of course),

I’m glad that a site like this brings Mindorenos closer again. Kudos to Juliet A.and family.

Meanwhile, let’s take this further by helping each other to protect our beloved home province. It’s time to give back (suklian) to the good things that Mindoro (your native land) gave you. I’m taking a step ahead of those who need your support. Nevertheless, it’s all up to you.

We should be concerned about the future ecosystem of Mindoro and should wish that its pristine environment is kept as it is. This is an excellent time to support the Mindorenos who are fighting for it.

Environmental damage is inevitable no matter what mining companies and their local lobbyists say otherwise. I read their agenda from http://www.crewdev.com/crew_ar06/revops_mindoro.php and personally do not trust or believe a cent about their plans or claims on how to protect and restore the land they will RAPE. It’s all about GREED. It's all going to be a disaster. Check out the Marinduque mining disaster as reported by the Joint UNEP/OCHA Environment Unit from http://www.reliefweb.int/ocha_ol/programs/response/unep/unep4.html.

Most of you know the politicians and locals who are salivating (and dreaming about $$$$$$$$$$$) on the prospect of mining operations. In their minds, it’s time to get rich or even richer. Most of you also know who are against the operations so please contact them to offer help and support they need if you can. They alone cannot fight huge corporations who have huge budgets for lining local pockets. I’ve heard and seen the letters and articles voicing protests from a large religious group (no surprise there) in Mindoro. Ask them how you can help.

Cheers

Signing in... will come back soon.
Great site. Accidentally came across the site when using google looking for an old buddy.

Di ko naman nakita.. wahhh.. 

Isang sandugo po na tubong Bongabong, currently in South Korea.

We met a Mindoreno in our recent party here in Houston, Texas who shared this website. Hello, to all.  We now live in Houston but originally, we are from Victoria.  Kumusta sa lahat ng kamag-anak namin at kapitbahay, family of Alegres. Sana makasama kami next year sa Mindoro reunion.

greetings everyone from the land of camels and dessert

Hello mga ka mangyan ko, kumusta na baga! Ako ay si Reynaldo Anonuevo na taga San Teodoro At ngayon ay nakatira sa Ottawa, Canada  kasama ng wife ko na si Melda and my 2 sons Richard and Riche.  Ako'y natutuwa at nag connect tayo through Mindoro International. Mabuhay mga kababayan ko and GOD bless.
Regards to all,
Rey

Greetings to all!  This is a great website that links all of us, mga Mindorenyos, together and in contact with each other.  Ako ay isang mangyan nakatira sa poblasyon ng Puerto Galera at ngayon sa kasalukuyan ay nakatira kasama ang pamilya sa New Jersey.  Sana magkita-kita tayong mga magkakababayan.  I give regards to my family, relatives, classmates, friends, and all the mangyans abroad. Special thanks to Vice Mayor Aristeo Atienza of Puerto Galera.  
Thank  you Mindoro International!

Happy 10th month anniversary.  Also, best wishes to Eleonor Vasquez on her birthday.

Fr. Carding Salditos forwarded this site to me. I left Bongabong in 1974 when I was 20 and have lived in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada for over 30 years now.  The rest of our family moved here in 1981. I have only been back for a visit twice so it's so nice to read about Mindoro and see pictures of kababayans although I  recognize only a few faces. What an excellent website! I know that I will be spending more nights browsing this page from now on rather than playing my favourite games of Bookworm and Texttwist. There is still so much to see but I have to get some sleep.  Thanks to all who put this together for a job well done.  I hope to get connected with people from Bongabong.

To Adel Aguilar of Toronto, Canada

I wished you could read this message.  Please contact me at my yahoo address.  I'm residing here in New York.
