Taga Sadino Ni Manang Letty

Grandma Letty is from Bauang, La Union and Bauang is a 1st municipality in the province of La Union, Philippines. It is bordered by San Fernando City to the north, Caba to the south, Naguilian to the east, and the South China Sea to the west. According to the recent census, it has a population of 63,373 people (+ or -) in about 12,500 households. McArthur Highway runs through this town junctioning with Naguilian Road, one of the mountain roads into Baguio City.

There are three versions on how Bauang was named. First, the name came from the word "bua", which in English mean beetlenut. Beetlenuts grew in abundance at the town site, now Barangay Nagrebcan where an old Spanish Church was built. Second, its name arose from the word "baoang" (garlic). The Spanish colonizers changed the letter "o" into "u";, thus its present name "Bauang". Third, it came from the word "buang", which means "river split in two" before flowing to the sea. As it is, the Bauang River is split into two by a delta.

Bauang was established as a settlement in 1590. It was recognized as a town in 1765 as a part of Pangasinan when Don Francisco de los Reyes became the first gobernadorcillo. When La Union was created in 1850, Bauang was one of the twelve towns that formed the new province.

Truly a celebration of graceful life. Happy Birthday! "Manang Letty".

Connie and I wish on your birthday that may you find treasures in familiar places, may you hear heaven’s sweet songs and may you dance in the light every day of your life and may you live in God’s love forever.

You showed us that once you fully apprehended the vacuity of life, you are certainly equipped with the basic means of salvation.  You showed us how to conquer difficult times that have helped everyone in the family understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that go worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.  Thank you also; for showing the family that character can not be developed in ease and quiet way, only through experience of perseverance, in trials and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved. Thank you for instilled true merit of caring to your family and to "Manong Ding", you certainly brought the family together with your love and anguish.
