Family Reunion
.jpg)
Odionganon’s were hospitable. Family is important to them, like all Filipinos.Odionganon’s Love to Play
D’ WORKERS TEAM [They are called D’WORKERS because all of the players were workers (carpentry)]
People of Pato-o
This is a championship game between D’WORKERS and HARDCOURT. Played in an open field along the barangay road.
This game ends questionable. D’WORKERS was the defending champion, and in this championship game they need to beat the opponent twice. According to the volleyball rule championship played five sets, but this game was played only four sets that made the D’WORKERS 1st placer and not the champion.
Questions were given to the management, but he just said twice to beat. Aha, sponsoring a game without knowing the rules? Too bad! As if he don’t know way back 2008 they also sponsor the same game where D’WORKERS compete five sets.
What i don’t like to other people is the way they act, some were too boastful. As if you have to bow for them, their highness!
Palay Drying in Odiongan
You can see this stuff in some barangay in Odiongan, making the rice grain to dry to bring them to rice milling station. They were placed roadside.
Farming 2
After planting you have to continue weeding the rice field.
Farming in Odiongan
This a small field my father had started farming, his family owned this. This is a field of stones. My father started planting here last year.In eight siblings of my grandma, yearly one sibling has the right to plant rice. Before it was done by partners, two siblings in every year but because it just a two rectangle of field it is not enough, especially those time there’s no water to supply the field. No irrigation, nobody in the family used to plant rice in a two rectangle field near the pepper farm that field was pawned many times. But things changed around the middle of the year 2007 when the irrigation were finally made.
It was year 2008 when my father thought of farming, because it was his term to plow the field. With high aspirations, my father hope for a good harvest so little by little he saved some from his carpentry earnings so he can started to make the field ready.
As you can see at the above picture, after plowing you have remove the snails before you can plant rice…it is a hard job.
Boat Canteen
This is inside the boat, it is a canteen for the passengers. As you can see at the picture there is an old woman with a yellow basket, she is not one of the passengers but she is one of the boat vendors. You can see them at the Odiongan Port terminal, bringing their baskets and selling their stuffs. When the passengers where ask to board the ship they will board the ship too, to sell. They will given enough time and when the boat or ship will leave you will a voice at the speakers “Purya bisita, purya bisita” calling the attention of the vendors to move down. Before it is a call for some people who escorted their love ones at the boat, but since some escorts went to Manila without the boat ticket they were not allowed anymore to comes up the ship, they just stayed at the terminal.
Just remember you have to keep your boat ticket because it will be inspected after the boat leaves the respected port. If you cannot show your boat ticket you have to pay another ticket. Ticket will be inspected twice, before you aboard the ship and after the boat leaves the port.
No parking in Odiongan
This is the best way to park, when you saw a NO PARKING SIGN! (lol)Odiongan Photos
This pictures were taken at the rooftop of ODIONGAN LODGE, as you can see this street is part of Barangay Tabing-Dagat. For your knowing, the building with a green roof is a church (Philippine Independent Church) facing it is DPWH Office (Department of Public Works and Highways) (red roof) and beside the DPWH is the LTO (Land Transportation Office).
If you notice you can see the sea at the above picture. Just look straight ahead. This is still Barangay Tabing-dagat, located in Odiongan.
