i come across this site while doing research about sagada.. “I am from Sagda my self” and its so funny how people dont read the WHOLE article before commenting, are they just so eager to say a word??? too bad for them that it took me two years to discover this article.. hehehe…

Ganduyan is the original name of sagada but it’s not its OFFICIAL name… the article is not about the history and how pretty the place is… geeezzzz cant you people not read….

the article is all about how the odd fact that the place we though that it’s unique is after all not unique… I love the article because it made me smile.. for how many years in my life did i think that sagada was after all just can be found in the high places of Mountain province then i came to learn that we can find it too in other places… isnt that amazing….

whew i dont think i need to go on with things… buttom line is that learn to read the WHOLE article before ranting cause it will make you just so… “bad word” in the eyes of other people who KNOW how to READ….

Take note that topnotchers in Mechanical (3000 to 4000 test takers), Civil (4000 + test takers), Electrical (2500 to 3000 test takers), and Electronics Engineering (2000 to 3000 test takers) should be more significant than those who topped in less populated fields like Mining Engineering (only 100 test takers).

Hi Ann,
Thanks for the advice and for the very valuable lesson in history. I am actually from Sagada and do not need to research to know that Ganduyan is the old name of Sagada, that old man Biag followed his dog to Demang and started the first of Sagada's dap-ays, that he is sort of considered as the founder of Sagada, that I am somewhat related to him [din alapon din alapon din alapom et si Biag], that the books you can read about Sagada's history would be primarily those written by Scott, but in the old days you can also know it by listening to old men in the dap-ays in Bilig, Matuba, Tokipa at marami pang iba.

But sadly those dap-ays are mostly empty these days because young men now sleep in their homes and so our old tradition of learning from the past generation is now a thing of the past.

Ay ngan pay ngen kayet di kanak? Thanks again Ann Quinio for your very thoughtful advice.

My apologies for the stream-of-consciousness reply.
