I used to know a Willand Cebedo way back in Iligan City. I used to live in Consonje St. Behind the St. Michael Cathedral. I don't know if you're the same person I used to hang out with the Tabimina's family, the Paquingan's family, Pabatang's family and all of my childhood friends that live closed by St. Michael Cathedral and Actub's family. Will so much for that, I just recalling when I was young back then. I am for sure that they have their own family to look after.

Ed Lomongo		05-Nov-2008 18:41
Abner Lomongo, I don't remember if we've meet but I was born in Looc, Maria and grow up in Iligan City. I left Iligan in 1970, now resided in Oahu, Honolulu ever since. I went to Davao, Matina in 2006, I don't have time to stop by Iligan City and Siquijor because out stay is only short. I know my Auntie Margarita Lomongo is now live in Maria. She the oldest sister of my Dad (Modesto).

Pila na ko ka tuig diri sa America ug maka ingon gyud ko nga pagka lami gyud sa Iligan. Mas maklaro ang iyang beauty kung nia ka sa layo. Our festivities are memorable, comparable and may even be more presentable to those of other countries. I am a full blooded Iliganon. Hope to see more recent pictures of the city. Hello Iligan... this is Alan O!

Dwight Tablason		10-Apr-2007 19:34
Hello! First of all, this is one of the best galleries of Iligan City that I have ever seen. I have been researching around for pictures, but this tops the other ones. My name is Dwight Tablason, I used to live in Iligan City andd grew up there until I was 11. The pictures of the sinulog bring back old memories as well as the Timoga ones. I used to compete in swimming under Kuya Cecil and went to the CMRAA. Anyways, that was then and I am now here in Los Angeles and an art student. I'm doing a brochure about a place and I thought I would pick Iligan. These are really good references! Once I finish, maybe I can show it here. Thanks.

Guest		01-Apr-2007 06:49

mayen		13-Mar-2007 13:55
