ReplyDeleteThank you for the info!
DeleteIts nice to see again that "walang tamad".. that place in Concepcion, Sariaya...the ancestral homes of Lontoc and Andal Family.
Delete=) I'm happy that my blog brought back old memories. =)
DeleteThe Walang Tamad Statue should be removed and change into a "Masipag ang mga taga Quezon". The statue does not depict our true identity since its the opposite.

DeleteI have to agree with that one. I hope they change it to a person who works hard.
Deleteit is the same thing. "walang tamad" means "no body are lazy" so it mean that Quezonians are hard working people. hayyzzz!
DeleteThat's what they say. =) It is up to us to believe.
DeleteHello, I'm a native of Gumaca, Quezon. There used to be two fish statues there. Too bad, the other might have reduced into pieces already.
ReplyDeleteThat's sad to hear. I only saw one during my trip. Thanks for the info. =)
