Where We Will Be
History
The place now called San Carlos City was already a flourishing community since pre-colonial times. It was previously part of a former town called Binalatongan. Binalatongan was the capital of Luyag na Caboloan, an ancient kingdom (now comprised by the provinces of Tarlac, Zambales, Nueva Ecija, La Union, Pangasinan, and Benguet) ruled by King Ari Kasikis. The name of Binalatongan was derived from the abundance of mongo (mung bean) plants along the San Juan riverbanks.
Caboloan is the name of the primitive Pangasinense dialect, of which its purest form was spoken by the natives of Binalatongan.
In 1718, Binalatongan was renamed (the Municipality [town] of) San Carlos. During the 1960’s, the Municipality of San Carlos diversified into two precincts. In 1965, the smaller precinct became legally incorporated as the Municipality of Basista by virtue of RA 4866. In 1966, the larger precinct became legally incorporated as San Carlos City by virtue of Republic Act No. 4487.
On April 28, 2007, San Carlos City's former mayor, Julian V. Resuello, was assassinated during an event at the city's plaza. He later died after two days. Ex-Mayor "Jolly", as everyone called him, was the best mayor San Carlos City has ever produced. He engineered San Carlos City into one of the economic tigers of northern Luzon. His legacy will remain forever!

The Grandboys
Here's my most recent picture of Jacob and Jack- I thought I would load this one first since I will miss them the most. As you can see Jacob is Jack's hero.First Messgae
I'm so excited to be going on my first mission for Bridge of Life. I titled this blog after a comment that my wonderful daughter Leslie made to me once about a quote from a movie that reminded her of me. (yes I teared up when she said it) I'll try to find the exact words to post later on but it was generally about man's ability to care for more than his family and that it's possible to increase your circle and have an impact on more than your immediate family.
For those you who know me from the Sierra Terrific Division- you know I'm all about pebbles and the compelling purpose that I fought hard to keep.
So like a pebble in a pond I will join our teammates and travel to the Philippines to send forth ripples of citizen leadership.
I'll post more later- for now I just need to play with this a bit and figure out how to join the world of bloggers. Thanks Britters for telling me about Blog Spot. So far so good.
