Woww, ang dami namang activities sa Laguna. Hope to see them sooner. Good work and God Bless to all those who organized these events.
LA LAGUNA. Mi antepasado español, Francisco Felipe Gómez, era alferez de Pagsanján. Mi antepasado mexicano, José Juan Rivera, era oriundo de Pila. Así que yo tengo raíces en La Laguna. Ang aquing ninunong español na si Gómez ay naguíng alferez ng Pagsanján. Ang aquing ninunong mexicano, Rivera, tagá Pila. Sa gayón, may mga ugát acóng Tagalog mulá sa La Laguna. Naquíquisa acó sa casayahang itó ng isáng magandáng provincia ng ating bansâ. Guillermo Gómez Rivera

Oo, puro sa Capitolio. Sugod ná, chong.
