If you found yourself
ending up in this site by
accident, here are a few
tips to help you not to get
out:
- Tacloban City is the
capital city of the
province of Leyte,
Philippines. - Denizens of the city
are called
"Taclobanons." - Ergo, An
Taclobanon
Association of
Southern California
are Southern
Californians based
in Tacloban.
Correct? Wrong! :)

A long time ago, it was never a thought. A few years back, it was a wish. Now, it’s a
reality. With the help of Ludette Ruiz, private sector representative for Tourism of the RDC
(Regional Development Council), Region 8, Leyte, Philippines, the wish was granted.
Our Miss An Maglipayon 2010, Lucille Mae Pelayo Oandasan, daughter of Luz Pelayo-
Oandasan, found her way to the Pintados Kasadyaan Festival 2010. From Fresno,
California, she took the trip half-way around the world primarily for the ATASC medical
mission. But at the last minute, she readily accepted a request to be part of the Pintados-
Kasadyaan parade held in Tacloban City on June 27, 2010.
On the parade float, she was flanked to her right by her brother, Jeff, and the reigning Miss
Philippines-World.

ATASC Officers Hold Strategic
Planning Workshop
Taking time out of their busy schedules, current officers and three past presidents of
An Taclobanon Association of Southern California (ATASC) recently met in a one-day
strategic planning workshop.
Held at the Doubletree Hotel boardroom in the city of Norwalk, California, the
workskhop covered varied topics leading to the setting of action goals for the service
years 2011 and 2012. Incumbent president Robert “Bobby” Aguilos welcomed the
group to the day’s activities and set the tone for the day’s deliberations.
Among other things, the topic on Leadership Guidance was extensively discussed by
Mr. Rafael “Raffy” Lagado, followed by a continuing discourse on Parliamentary
Procedure and its unequivocal importance to the organization ably explored by Mr.
Eric Cordeta. In the afternoon session, past ATASC president and current vice
president Peter Caludac presented a compelling subject matter for the day: SWOT
(Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) Analysis that provided all
attendees a broadened perspective and approach to organizational problems and
opportunities for ATASC advancement. A review of the ATASC Mission, Vision and
Values was laid out by Nonong Agner late in the afternoon. Last but not least, Mr.
Edwin Tiu, a founding member and first elected ATASC president, shared his
viewpoints on ATASC: a Historical Perspective, where he stated that looking back
allows us to get a clear plan of action and forward-looking view of what lies ahead for
ATASC and its members.
At the end of the sessions, the officers laid out in concrete terms the identification,
implementation, logistics and the appropriate committees to put into action projects
for 2011 and 2012.
Present during the whole-day officers’ retreat were: ATASC officers Bobby Aguilos,
Baby Esperas-Cui, Peter Caludac, Tanny Sano, Neil Colinayo, Marla Sabarre, Mae
Delgado, Recto Abellanosa, Dulce Caludac, Sammie Serrano, Yaya Banez-Vergara
and Nonong Agner;
Past ATASC presidents Edwin Tiu, Raffy Lagado and Eric Cordeta served as
resource speakers for the event. It made the day more special having gathered these
past leaders with the current officers in the continuing process of revitalizing the
organization. Active ATASC members Cecile Aguilos and Al Vergara provided as
facilitators of the event. (N. Agner).
