Dear Kabaleyans,

With all the political rumblings and excitements going on in Iowa and New Hampshire, I do have something more exciting or definitively better for our fellow pangasinenses to enjoy and look forward to this Sunday, February 7, 2015, at 1:00 p.m.  That’s with a guarantee  !!!

Make this Sunday a leisure day for you.  Come and  “CAUCUS” with us.  Witness the new and enhanced image of Pangasinan Brotherhood-USA, Inc.  Be part and freely participate in the new forum of discussions as carefully formulated and planned by our dynamic officers.  President Lino Caringal Jr. in full tandem with his EVP Neil Estrada and Hospitality Chairman Bong Soriano will make sure that the meeting will run & finish the course as envisioned.

Call me an “old guard” or a ” senior member” but coming from a long time member, this is the first time that I truly feel and foresee where our organization is going with the collective and cooperative efforts of our members now.  Our NextGen’s are coming up beyond expectations and undoubtedly they are the “shakers and movers” of PB-USA.  This aura really gives me the feeling of youthfulness.

I certainly want to rejuvenate myself and the best secret pill for that is right here with us.  I am a case study for this fountain of youth secret because I am feeling much better, I can think clearly, and I can freely say and share the good things about our organization without reservations or doubt feelings.  How about that for a change after so many years with the organization ?  Take a quick  glimpse of my photo for this column and you will see I can now throw a good smile for you all !!!

Or, would you prefer to stay stagnant or simply stay the way you are – nice and easy. I will respect that. Setting aside camaraderie (because we all have that), I think you will agree with me, at a certain point, that keeping glued within the confines of our age levels will put us in a stand still also within our social surroundings just talking about the good and bad old days, ” how our friends are doing or not doing”, ” he said-she said”, ” pitiful health conditions and body aches”, and often times, a lot of negative and speculative impressions about basically anything that comes along in mind. This, as we all know and experience, will just wind down to what we consciously and unconsciously experience as plain “Tsismis” ( hearsays)  Not really healthy and may lead to possible depressions.

Let’s get out of this cocoon and with a firm resolution let’s accentuate the negative into a positive.  The cure is here.  Come and join us this Sunday , February 7, ar 1:00 p.m.  The meeting will promptly start at 1:00 p.m. and close by 3:00 p.m. to proceed to the next session – THE SUPERBOWL”.  Keep in mind that our NextGens are all football aficionados and will be there in the meeting.  This is something that they planned well with our president, Lino Caringal Jr.  They will make sure that this time frame will be followed. Also, there is an open arena to view the Superbowl at our meeting venue. ( Marriot Courtyard)

Please pass on this message and invitation to our general membership however best you can via Facebook , phone calls, and other social media outlets.

See you all this Sunday – Smile !!!!

Sincerely,

Nieves Coquia
Chairman of the Board
