I am sharing with you a letter from Van, who reads my Blog regularly...
Vic,
The Asingan church is huge with its tall bellfry.I could hear the chirpings of the birds with that choral rendition in the background. Ah !! again a very Filipino scenery with the church as focal point.It reminds me of the baptism of my kids and of course my hometown, sweet hometown.
Thank you again for sharing, Vic.Regards to your family.

The old Catholic Church as shown in the old video is already gone. During the great earthquake of 1990, much of the interior and exterior of this church, toppled to the ground like a deck of cards. It took several years and several thousands of dollars before this new edifice rose up from the ruins.
The new church is now something to be proud of. It shows the unity of the Asingan people, both local and those staying in other countries when they are involved in a worthwhile project...
I remember seeing the Mass celebrated outside of the church everyday while the church is being cleaned up and reconstructed. I spent several years in the old church. It was in there that I learned my music reading and writing, and also my keyboard and writing harmony for easy songs..
I am still using these skills helping out a Senior's home near my house..
Below is another e-mail...
What you are doing is giving PEACE.It is for the glory of GOD.It is a precious time of your life spent for sharing joys. God delights in all your email.I love listening to music.My dad always say "Music is the language of the soul".
He loves music.I attempted to hire thepianist who always play in our clubhouse to perform in our house last Father's day but too bad he was fully booked.You must be a very brotherly and friendly person!!!!You seem to be into music and nature.
It is OK for you to share my responses to our dearest Pangasinense in Asingan.Belated Happy Father's day to you with warmest kumusta.
Van
