Talkback: Mibalik-Tambayan Day
It was like going back home after many years of not being at the tambayan. Glad to see interaction between alumni and residents. I’m impressed with the enthusiasm of the residents. The org is in good hands. Hope the applicants will be inspired to become part of a lasting legacy. Thanks for the CD kahit hindi ko panahon ung mga kanta.

It was definitely tiring, kasi a-exhaust ku talaga reng egana-ganang stock kung icebreaker questions, haha, para mu alang dead air keng pamag-entertain tamu karela. More than the free food and the generous donation they gave us, ing peka-maka-overwhelm were the shared stories. Lalu na itang part na kabang mag-kwentu la reng alumni, sabe turu pa kareng pictures ketang yearbook tamu. Tsaka retang unsolicited but meaningful advices da, eku rin akalingwan ita, atsu kasi itang ‘been-there-done-that’ factor. Masanting kasi itang makipag-kwentuhan ka tas atin kang apupulut a makabuluan keng pisasabyan. At syempre, I can't help but feel prouder of my Aguman family, as if eku pa super proud as it is, haha!

Mibalik Tambayan was like coming home and going to the future all at the same time. These residents are an inspiration to me.
~Claire Navarro Espina, Alumna, 1979A
I enjoyed our get-together and had a great time. I have been getting positive feedback about the current batch of residents, so when this invitation came, I didn’t let it pass. I'm glad I met all of you. Keep up the good work for Aguman’s continuing activities and projects are our legacy to our kabalen. Regards to all.

‘Nang kasaya ing mibalik tambayan. Kasi mekapagbonding tamu kareng alumni. Pati masaya ing kwentuhan and kumustahan, pinakamasaya pa rin ing food! Haha!
~Justin Dungca, Lakatan 2006A
Kakaibang experience. Parang may kapamilya na nagbabalik bayan. Maraming preparations tapos marami ring pasalubong. Hehe! Masaya na we get to mingle with other AguPips and actually have conversations with them. Sana ganun pa rin when it’s our time to go back to UP and our beloved tambayan.
~Jean Dimabuyu, Kaputul 2004
It was nice seeing how successful the UP aguman alumni have become. As an applicant, I was inspired by them. We can reach places if we just believe in our capabilities and work hard on them.. at agyang marayu na disnan, emu pa din dapat kalingwan ing kekang penibatan, pagmaragul tamu na kapampangan tamu! :D ~Jewel dela Cruz, Applicant, Baskal 2007A
Mig-kaswelu ku keng Mibalik-Tambayan ayni. Akilala ku la deng aliwa pang alumni a megbalikbayan. Pero enaman sa ela star deng aliwa karela, pero ing peyborit alumni ku yang excited kung akit eh. Though me-hot seat ku mu ping bagya. Matindi ya talaga i atching Claire. Ing buri ku pa, she texted me that night na somehow made me realize na I'm doing the right thing.. Ha! Love ku ne! Emu peyborit!
~Argel Casupanan, Alumnus, Salagpi 2001A
Makainspire. It makes you want to achieve more with life while listening to their stories and personal achievements. Mipapaisip ka talaga eh. Sasabihin mu sa sarili mo: “I want to be successful too...”
~Jowie Garcia, Kadaya 2005A
Maka-amaze ing Mibalik-Tambayan. Eku aimagine na makanta kadakal tao tambayan, biglang migka-traffic keng left wing ning AS. Kaybat meg-order la pang madakal a foods. Hehe! Makabilib la rin deng distinguished alumni ning Agu. Maka-inspire pag manakit kang successful individuals from the org you’re applying for. Masaya kasi you get the chance to meet them and have their signatures on my sigsheet.
~Diogenes Dy, Applicant, Baskal 2007A
Makatula kasi finally a-meet ku na la rin sa wakas deng aliwa kareng minunang agupips.
~Lea Dizon, Langgotsi 2006B
Mainit! Pero nakakatuwang makita ang mga alumni na may nararating sa kani-kanilang buhay. When you think about it, tinahak nila ang daang tinatahak or tatahakin palang natin. They could serve as inspiration for all of us,, ung thought rin na nagbalik sila sa kanilang pinanggalingan proves na worth remembering talaga ing org.
~Romina Goce, Applicant, Baskal 2007A
Me-shock ku anyang kadakal alumni keng tambayan pero simap maganaka la kasi mekanikwa kami for alumni page, hehe! Tsaka galante la grabe, kaya madakal foods and drinks the whole event. ‘Mibalik Tambayan’ is a huge success for having interactions between alumni and the org with its mems and apps.
~Anjelica Herico, Applicant, Baskal 2007A
Mibalik Tambayan? Sana mas mapadalas, mas madami makapunta, mas maganda kung sa gabi may inuman (hehe!), para mas masaya! Tapos madaming madami food! Para kain lang ng kain habang nagkukwentuhan! Hehe! Thanks!
~Alvin Bongcodin, Alumnus, Salagpi 2001A
Makatulang mibalik tambayan (agyang aliwa ita ing disnan kung tambayan). My short visit introduced me to fellow oldies (alumni, ikatamu ini) and the residents. It was a testament of the moving force that was and is behind our beloved org. It was a nostalgic moment. Sana mu mas marakal tamu next time. Thanks!
~Natasha Tabucal, Alumna, Tuglung 1998A
Masaya ing mibalik tambayan, afeel mu talaga ing legacy ning org. Asabi ku din na maragul ing pamilya ning Aguman at dapat na abalu tamu ing pegdaanan ning org king kabuuan, greetings to all!
~Buduy Mallari, Lakatan 2006A
Anyang sinabi ng Daph na ating Mibalik Tambayan by the alumni, I felt excited and at the same time nervous. Ali ku balu kung bakit. Anyang ikit ku la, sobrang ali ku balu nanu ing sabyan. Bigla kung merine keng sarili kung teritoryu kasi aisip ku na deng tau na kaharap ku deng reason kung bakit ating Aguman ngeni. Overwhelming pa kasi ali la hesitant sumaup at baski malawut la, isipan da pa rin ing welfare na ning org. Ing visit da inspired me to love the org more and at the same time to strive harder kasi puru la ngan successful in their respective fields. Congrats kareng alumni and residents!
~Jerome Caylao, Kadaya 2005A
Astig ing ‘Mibalik Tambayan’, ikit tamu ing lugud da reng alumni keng kekatamung organisasyun, it was nice seeing successful alumni go back to the realm where we currently are, making us wonder if someday we could reach the orbit of success where they are. That’s what I like about UP Aguman, because we get to rub elbows with people who made and still makes history. That’s why we should all be proud, dahil manalete kareng uyat tamu ing dayang Capampangan! Rock on!
~Michael Gulapa, Lakatan 2006A
The presence of the alumni gave us a sense of deep connection again with them. The support they give is overwhelming. Like Kuya Gerry (Batch 80) said “Kahit saan and location ng tambayan there is the same warmth of people”. No matter what the org looks like, as long as there is kinship there will always be the UP Aguman that we will all love. Dacal salamat kareng alumni na dinting. Keep coming back.
