My Father's Parents:

Alfonso Abarrientos Sr. –  He works in the military as far as I can remember. He loved music and he plays the trombone. He had 14 siblings and was the 8^th from the eldest. Their father was a Chinese merchant from macau who married a Filipina and adopted the last name of his Filipino Sponsor inorder for him to expand his business. I was not close to my lolo since he rarely talks as far as I can remember;  But I learned and heard storied from my lolo's 3 sisters who did not get married because their father was so strict.

Licnesa Abarrientos – My lola was a housewife and she keeps a mini sari sari store. Even when she was already very old and up to her last breath she kept her mini sari-sari store which I thought was her happiness. During her youth she wa a beauty queen in their town and was sought after by a lot of suitors. So far that was the only story I heard about my lola.

My Mother's Parents:

Timoteo Baylin – he was a former veteran during the WW2 before he came back in Mindanao and devoted his life farming. I call him Daddy. My Lolo owned almost a few hectares of farm in Bukidnon before he sold it and transferred to another town. My lolo was very hard working, brilliant and a disciplinarian but was very kind. He even adopted a homeless kid who grew up with my mother's family. Although, after my mother's family left the town in Bukidnon and sold the lands; my lolo left him a few hectares to farm and to be able to sustain himself. That kid is now one of the town's millionaires. Going back to my lolo, after selling his farm in Bukidnon he transferred his farm of around 70 hectares to another town. He planted coffee beans, fruits like Citrus, Lanzones and coconut. It was his farming that sent my mother and siblings to Cebu for College. According to story, my lolo once exported his coffee beans to Brazil and his coconut oil to Japan. But that was before his coffee bean was burned by some envious neighbor (so they say). We still have the coconut farm and every year we still harvest the lanzones and sell to another province in Visayas.

Gertrude Refuerzo - My Lola is a mestiza. Her mother was Spanish and his father  was half-spanish and Ilocano. She was born and raised in La Union. She was 16 when she left her home to join my lolo in Mindanao. According to stories and by hearing my Lola's story about her family, her father was a haciendero and her mother was the typical aristocrat Spanish. My mother said, My lola seldom mingles with neighbors during her early days in Mindanao as she told me since she can only speak Spanish and English and Ilocano. She's also very super conservative. I remember she often get surprised by the way I behaved when I was a kid because I was quite boyish and she won't allow me to squat. She was very particular with how a woman should act. Perhaps that was brought about her training while she was a child and coming from a family with Spanish parents.

Father's side

            My father's side is from Arayat Pampanga.  They moved to Pasay City and opened a business as rice dealer. They bought a property in Taytay Rizal where they settled for good.

My grandfather is Zoilo Dungca Reyes born on  July 27, 1910. He was a businessman selling crabs, rice and groceries. He died in 1998 due to old age. I remember him as a strict father to his children( my aunts and uncles). My aunt blamed him of her misery being an old maid. No suitors can visit her otherwise they will be thrown out of the house. My aunt was a very beautiful woman.  She was even offered an acting role in a movie during her younger years but my grandfather didn't allow her. Because of his being strict, his youngest daughter( Tita Baby ) run away with her lover.

My lolo was not a family person. He did not attend a single family gatherings except the wedding of his youngest daughter ( Tita Baby). I don't recall any moment that he showed affection to his grandchildren.

He didn't want his food seasoned with MSG( ajinomoto) otherwise he would throw the plate of food served to him. He was a quick-tempered person who curse people, even his children. 

He was a devotee Iglesia ni Cristo.

A. Grandparents ( Father side)

My grandfather Aurelio originated from Loon, Bohol but migrated to Larena, Siquijor when he was young. My father told me that Lolo did not have the opportunity to finish his elementary schooling and had to work his way out of poverty. He had three other siblings, Alipyo, Vicente and Eugenio whom we have never met. My earliest recollection of Lolo was in my elementary years when were brought by my father to Larena, Siquijor to attend the fiesta celebrations during May. He was a market vendor and was often drunk when he comes home in the afternoons. It was difficult to connect and bond with for obvious reasons, but more to his being a drunkard is that he was never fond of his grandchildren. Our relationship was limited to just showing our respect by blessing from the hand, ' mano po Tatang'. We never had the chance to communicate at a deeper level with him. He passed away when I was in the 5th grade..

Lola Salud grew up in Larena, Siquijor and was fortunate to finish High school education. She married Lolo Aurelio at a young age just like many women of her time. She helped Lolo working in the market at the same time given the tough task in looking after her seven children as a dedicated housewife and mother. My recollection of Lola is that she was a very religious person. Her day starts around 4:30 am to attend the dawn mass and then comes home to prepare breakfast for the family. I could still clearly remember her telling me that she would be happy to see me become a doctor someday. She had 5 other siblings, Florentino, Marcial, Generoso, Flores,and Bienvenido. Among Lola's siblings, I was fortunate to witness and experience the kindness and Love of Lola Bienvenido. She was an Elementary school teacher and remained in single-blessedness until her demise. I was very fond of her because she never misses to give me some money and food overtime we visit her. She was the epitome of kindness and a very good role model for me growing up as a kid. She had the gift of being able to relate with children that is why she was well-loved not only by her apo's but also her students. During her passing the family felt a big loss.

To Professor Jorge, and leader classmates, Fellow Parents and Soon to be parents. , Good Morning

Have you ever heard of the Milk Code? 

Yes, there is a Philippine law on milk. Breast milk in particular. The Milk Code or Executive Order 51, signed by then president Corazon Aquino was implemented in 1986 (the first in asia), is the law that protects and promotes breastfeeding in the Philippines. It regulates the industry of formula milk and other milk products that there should be no form of advertising or promotion of milk formula to the public and medical authorities are expected to play a part in the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding in the country. 

According to the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef), the Philippines is one of the 37 countries that fully implemented this milk code, Ironically, after almost 29 years, surveys show that Filipino mothers have yet to fully grasp the benefits of feeding their infants exclusively with their breast milk. Only 34% of infants under 6 months are breastfed. Most mothers still opt to use milk formulas for various reasons such as alleged inability to produce breast milk and time constraints. Although an improvement from 2011's 27%, these findings still put the country with lowest percentage of breastfed babies.

Movie Synopsis, Analysis of JCampbell's Monomyth and My Life Story

Synopsis of the Movie Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump movie was created in Year 1994 with starring Tom Hunks is my selected film for my paper. This follows the life events of a man who shares the name as the title of the film. Gump faces many tribulations throughout his life, but he never lets any of them interfere with his happiness. From wearing braces on his legs, to having a below average IQ and even being shot, Gump continues to believe that good things will happen and goes after his dreams. While several less than ideal things occur during Gump's life, he manages to turn each setback into something good for him, such as when he finally gets his braces off he discovers that he is capable of running faster than most other people. This skill allows Gump to not only escape his bullies while he is a child in Greenbow, but also to gain a football scholarship, save many soldiers' lives and become famous for his ability. While Gump eventually achieves the majority of the things he hoped to throughout the movie, it proved a much more difficult task to win the heart of his life-long friend Jenny Curran. The movie is centered on Forrest Gump and the incidences that occur during his life, but during each period in his lifetime he thinks back of Jenny and how important she is to him. Although the two characters grew up together and shared a very close friendship, as the movie progresses they grow apart. This upsets Gump who cares immensely for the girl who had a rough start in life, and it seems the two always end up back in each other's lives, often in extraordinary ways like meeting in the Reflection Pond in D.C. Even though Gump is the main character of the film, it similarly tells the story of Curran and the hardships she faces.

The Hero is introduced in his ordinary world

"Stupid is as stupid does" is what Forrest Gump hears throughout his less than picturesque childhood. Though not as smart as the people he meets along the way, Forrest is thrust into some scary, crazy and downright incredible situations, rubbing shoulders with some great historical figures and escaping many dangers on sheer dumb-luck. His giant heart and never fading love for his lifelong friend Jenny take him on a journey where he learns what his destiny is.
