Greetings to all Gigaquitnons!

Under this Volume 9 of GOL topics compilations, the stories that we bring to you is a mixture of sadness and happiness. Sad because we know what happened to our beloved Doot Beach. Though surely this beauty can be "reclaimed" in the future, it will take years or even decades before this is realized. On the other hand, we are pleased to tell everyone how proud I am as a Gigaquitnon due to the positive responses when we sent the appeal for financial support for our Scholarship Project. As Capt. Mario Recentes fondly mention "Proud Gigaquitnon" in his write-up, I believe now that this can be more than words after we showed by our actions how great we are indeed. As I mentioned in my previous messages, there are Gigaquitnons who will rise up to the challenge. The recent events showed how true this is. I would like to specifically mention the following who unselfishly shared their hard-earned money just to get our Scholarship Project going:

Mrs. Grace Roa Gonzales
Ms. Elvie Paray
Atty. Fernando Larong
Miss Gina U
Ms. Letecia Egay
Mrs. Ophelia Esperon Lopez

But then again, i know deep in my heart that aside from the above, there are other Gigaquitnons . . . many other Gigaquitnons who will also rise up to the challenge. We will see this in the coming months or years. I am confident of that.

Mabuhay an mga Gigaquitnons!
