Photos taken during our brief visit to Palompon, Leyte. I couldn't provide a full detail in chronological order since it would have taken too much time and effort, but here it is. Wish to have more time with them someday.
To the viewer who sees it irrelevant, this is just a Personal Collection of Blogs and People, as stated in my YouTube Channel. You may skip the part you don't want to see.
So let's start on day one 'til we head back to Zambales. Pictures were created for a wider screen, so it might take some time to load the image. So, here we go -
This was day 1, during preparation. Everything here was just a collection of some senseless entries. Click on the pictures above to see what it was. You have to close it using the (X) button if you're on a browser.

August 14, 2025 - Palompon, Leyte. It's actually Fiesta in Barangay Tinubdan, Palompon, Leyte, and here we are with some of our relatives and some places we visit. It's fun with mixed emotions. Sa bisaya pa "Wa ko kasabot". Took some pictures with my brothers, who were with our family, and it's fun to know other family members as well.

Mangadto ta ninyo ug Dose (12 Kilometer). So another Adventure of the day. Here we took some time traveling from Main Palompon to Dose. While riding some POTPOT, we headed to the Terminal to ride a bus or a trike to get there. I grab some pictures of them, and then we make our way to the mountain, LOL. Something's telling me of the place where I remember those times my grandfather (Lolo Pino) used to have a hut and some fragments of memory where I got there (Just like 'Ho, Pino, inum ta tuba!') and learn from their experience. Actually, I never learn. While we got there, there's too much commotion happening LOL!. Daghan mga nahitabo ba. Kalisod pud uy. Such as we ate some fruit from the trees, like coconut, some others like buongon, santol, bayabas, abot kung unsa pa tong uban. Then there's my son, who has his own adventure. He did handle a huge Orb-weaver commonly in their place, which is Golden-silk; I forgot to take a picture of him handling that thing. Kapuya bataa, gigunitan man noon pwerting dakua sa damang.

Mode of Transportation. Sa Zambales almost rare na mugamit ug Sikad. Trike halos pero ang standard compare sa Leyte ay masdako or luag ang sidecar compare sa Zambales nga gamay or slim.
Here's another one. I took some pictures, remembrance lang ba.
We are in a top of a hill. Nangita ug damang, LOL! Luy-a diay para baligya sa Carbon.
Another Picture with a smile. Chris Linard was behind on the background, walay gana.
Naunsa naman ka? Stolen Moment, Perfect for MEME. LOL!
Aunte Rose's late Birthday Present. Wala man magplan gud mao chiffon cake lang usa kay pobre man ta. LOL!
Some preparations, as we celebrated a late birthday of Ante Rose, we then climbed a hill to get some Luy-a (Genger). Mao man siguro na. The uphill was too tough and we slipped. I slipped badly, and even my wrist got hurt as I made a stunning ninja movement, LOL. Dalin-as lagi, hala pagkiat pa.

Happy Fiesta to Tinubdan, Palompon, Leyte. And it will be our last gathering with the Gangs.
Right after a short celebration and picture taking, we decided to have a beach outing with them. I don't have perfect pictures, and some that I gathered were merely shots from the video, so it looks awful.

Me, and My Daughter Saraijah having a little bond in a picture taking.
This is Aunt Rose Viovicente. She used to have a resemblance to my mother's face, were we couldn't forget what our mother might look like.

And there it goes, some of our pictures. Hoy padaplin uy, kang kinsa maning anak?

This is how it is seen from a short distance, where the Legacy of Rufino and Emilia was established on this hill. The houses above are so classic as the old days that have passed in my life. LOL! Kahilakon man pud ta.
Got a view where I could take a shot. This is where we spend the rest of the day.

Right after he finished. He wanted to save it, but of course, it's just sand. I wonder if I could write a poem about this.

Good bye and we'll miss all of you. This will be the saddest goodbye since we never knew when we would be able to get together again. I't sad, but it's worth it. We will never know what will happen ahead, but perhaps we could plan to start everything all over again. It will be a lot of preparation, and a lot of things will change. I am hoping to have our family reunion with our cousins, maybe someday we'll never know. I could only guess that it would be hard. Time is precious since we grow older, and we may never know if we could still make it. But it's a good start, where my children knew that they had a family in a distant place. They will soon realize that.
Anyways, here's the finale of our Journey to Leyte, morning at 8-9 am we gather with Aunty Emily, Aunty Liza, and Uncle Endoy to visit our Lolo and Lola, the one who made their Legacy and we're the result (Drama). So here we dagkot kandila ug unya istorya gamay para makaila pa nila. Naa pud uban amo pud gidagkutan kay basin dahan lamok, LOL. I took some Pictures with some others na nakita nako nga pareho apelyedo, pero wa' gyud ko kaila kung si kinsa mani sila. Ang nakanindot sa cemetery kay organized ug luag ang dalan, ug dili samok, kay sa Cebu, labi na public cemetery mura man ug eskwater na noon.

We hugged and said goodbye to them, hoping we could see our faces again. Then we head to the port to travel to Cebu. And we will be having our new Story on the other side. Part 2 is coming soon.

Si Nympha and kauban ni Mama kaniadto para mutabang-tabang sa tindahan ug. But unfurtunately, naapil sa disgrasya with my Mother nga nadakdakan ug crane. Tragic moment sa among kinabuhi, and I remember Nympha who before sya namatay.
Eventhough gamay pa ko ato nga time, nakita nako si Nympha nga usa ka buotan ug dali ra duolon.
Aside sa ako nakita ni Nympha nga Buotan. Mahinhin pud sya ug dili kiringking.
This is the Legacy of all time, Lolo Rufino M. Nuñez, the legend. LOL! The story that completes the day. On the same Grave were his Family members, Demetria Nuñez and Ambrosio Nuñez. Haven't heard their story yet, hopefully I can tell some of it in this blog sometime.
This one here, as they'd told us that was one of our relatives who died of breast cancer, as I recall. We haven't heard much about her, and yet her life story was remembered.
It may be related to Aunt Emily's husband. I don't know about it, and just in case, I took a picture for a reference.
