Lita Mercado-Quintos
Scarborough, Ontario, Canada

(We remember Lita in high school - tall, slim, charming, very pretty, fun to be with and honest. Now a pharmacist, it seems she has not changed a bit - except, perhaps, her eyesight, he, he, he! Lit, thanks for writing and for your check. Ang imong hangyo - wala nila itugot, alakanse kono!)

That debonair from Pancil

I am an Ilongga from Bacolod, but had worked in SUMC for a couple of years, and there a big catastrophe happened - I fell in love with a dashing debonair Tanjayanon! He was a fast hardworker and before long we got married - whew! I am therefore now a Tanjayanon and I demand for my rights: In your listing of members, you have to include my name together with that of my husband - because as far as I know I am his only wife! (Oh, sorry I almost forgot. My husband's name is Dr Mario S. Mercader, apo ning Tia Luciano nimo.) (P.S. See, I even act and speak and joke like a Tanjayanon now!)

Ming Abay-Mercader
Witchita, Kansas

(Ming, tho' we've not met yet, we like you already! The Tanjayanons everywhere wholeheartedly welcome you to their tribe!)

Tanjay Joketionary

With apologies to its original author, Angelica@aol.com who e-mailed it to us requesting that we supply a Tanjayanon's translatation of the following Iningles words:

1. Persuading - Primerong kasal               6. Predicate - Buhi-i ng iring
2. Caucasian - Baka, haloki si Ann           7. Deposit - Ang gripo (Deposit is leaking, call Diploma) 
3. Protestant - Tindahan sa prutas           8. City - Sa dili pa siya ocho
4. Statue? - Ikaw ba na?                           9. It depends - Kan-a ng alad

From time to time, we get all sorts of comments, communications, and inevitably, some of them get mixed up. One of them is reproduced here. It is a fax which is self explanatory. Cora, pasayluha mi kay na misplace to namo tong imong original email. But, as they say, better late than never. This acknowlegement, that is:

Fax To: (310) 402-1890
Fax From: (909) 946-6784

Enjoyed reading, as always, the ANG TANJAYANON. However, you owe me an apology - I was the first to guess your last issue’s (Ed: issue 6) mystery picture as Jean Piñero by email and you acknowledged that I won the extra copy of the Newsletter good for using in the "Banyo", heh, heh.

Anyway, to this Newsletter's mystery picture, that's Anesio Piñero hiding behind the young boy's face. This time, I am faxing it to you.

Cora Utzurrum - Regards to all, kibitz ni Frank.
