My grandfather immigrated to the US about 50 years ago.  He married an
Irish women and a few years later my father was born.

My grandfather died while my father was still young and he doesn't  
remember very much.

My question is very simple.  Is the last name _Guapo_ very common? My
grandfathers name was Corneliuos Guapo?  When he came to America, it was
changed in spelling to gaupo.  I know he worked in Astoria Oregon for
many years, but I have no idea where he first settled down in Oregon.
I would be curious to know how common the last name is, and if anyone
has any idea how I might learn more information.  (My grandmother is out
of the question.)

Thanks,

Cathy

    Isang Mama na may kasamang palay,isang manok,at isang kambing ay tatawid
 sa ilog. Pwedeng laman ng bangka ay dalawa lang. Papaano niya itatawid ang
 lahat ng mga ito ? May kasilanan ito dahil kung una niyang itatawid ang
 kambing, ang manok ay kakainin niya yung palay.

As far as I know, Freddie Aguilar's "Anak" won a certain international song 
writing/singing contest.  And it became so popular that it was translated to
seven different languages -- sort of like "Saigo No Iwake" which was mentioned
by Kage in a previous posting (but of course, saigo is no match for anak's
brilliant lyrics and superior melody).

Does anybody like The Dawn?  I really like "Enveloped Ideas" (although it's
written in english), "Isang Banka Tayo", "Salamat", etc.  Also, I really liked
the After Image song, "Next in Line" from the album Touch the Sun.  Does anybody
know where to buy new OPM (original pinoy music) in the Boston area?

Freddie Aguilar's "Anak" was exported to several countries
(including Hong Kong, singapore, Holland, Germany and U.A.E.),
appeared in several countries' Top 100 and spawned numerous 
versions. I guess you can safely say that "Anak" was the first
Pinoy song to achieve international success. I have friends
from Kuwait and Norway who know the song. Every once in a while
you'll hear it on Muzak.

Speaking of Muzak, I was in an elevator once when I heard 
"Kahit Konting Pagtingin" being played. That was a surprise
since I swear that song was O.P.M. I wonder how they got hold
of it?

Ok, I am learning to play with my daughter so here goes...

With our  month old daughter we hold her arms while singing 
so that we can hold her hands up and clap them ...

I have two hands, a left and a right
hold them up high, so clean and bright
clap them softly, 1 2 3
clean little hands are good to see.

It is a great brain washing as my daughter will now
hold her hands out and turn them from palm to back.

I think I got it right.

Article-I.D.: microlab.-111192121248
Followup-To: soc.culture.filipino
Organization: University of Pennsylvania


	MANILA, Philippines (UPI) -- President Fidel Ramos urged Congress
Tuesday to pass a bill to impose the death penalty on kidnappers who
have turned the crime into a multi-million dollar industry in the
Philippines.
	Presidential spokeswoman Annabelle Abaya said Ramos certified as
urgent a Senate bill classifying kidnapping as a ``heinous crime''
punishable by death.
	Authors of the bill, including Ramos' sister, Sen. Leticia Ramos-
Shahani, warned that kidnapping has ``grown into alarming proportions''
and has scared off potential foreign investors.
	Ramos' move came as soldiers exhumed a corpse believed to be that of
a Chinese-Filipino drugstore owner abducted by gunmen last month in the
southern city of Cotabato.
	Army Col. Herminio Limon said the body, which was dug from a shallow
grave outside the city, 550 miles south of Manila, ``resembled the
physical features'' of Francisco Chin, who as abducted Oct. 19.
	Limon said the 55-year-old businessman might have been killed after
his family failed to produce a $60,000 ransom demanded by his abductors.
	Chin would be at least the third ethnic Chinese kidnap victim to be
killed in the past eight weeks. Two college students were tortured and
killed in Manila in September despite their families having paid ransom.
	Limon said Chin's wife declined requests by authorities for the
businessman's dental records and documents which contain his
fingerprints in order to scientifically prove the corpse's identity.
	Abaya said the proposed legislation ``pointed out that lives have
been lost and extensive'' government resources have been diverted to
hunt down the kidnappers, many of them rogue police and military
officers.
	``The imposition of the death penalty,'' she added, is ``intended to
deter possible perpetrators of the crime.''
	Kidnapping has become a lucrative industry, preying mostly on the
closely knit and influential Chinese community which controls a large
portion of the country's economy.
	Officials say more than 25 ethnic Chinese have been kidnapped since
August and are believed to have paid at least $2 million in ransom.
	But legislators and officials of the powerful Catholic Church say the
figure could be more since many of the victims refused to report to the
authorities because of evidence policemen and soldiers were involved.

Organization: University of Pennsylvania


	MANILA, Philippines (UPI) -- Communist guerrillas, in one of their
most daring attacks this year, raided an air base in the northern
Philippines, destroying two fighter planes and a helicopter and killing
one soldier, officials said Friday.
	President Fidel Ramos ordered troops to track down the 100 rebels who
sneaked into the base in the town of Cauayan, Isabela province, 180
miles north of the capital, shortly before midnight Thursday.
	But Ramos said the attack, which also left two soldiers wounded,
would not derail his efforts to forge peace with the 13,500-strong
communist New People's Army. The NPA has been fighting the government
for 23 years.
	Military reports said guerrillas attacked the base with assault
weapons and rifle-propelled grenades, destroying two U.S.-supplied OV-
Bronco light attack planes and a Sikorsky helicopter of the Philippine
Air Force.
	Air Force Maj. Odi Mora, chief of the composite air support force at
the base, and one of his men were wounded. One soldier was killed.
	The attack was one of the boldest guerrilla operations against the
government this year and came on the heels of efforts by Manila to
convince the insurgents to negotiate a peaceful end to the rebellion.
	Government emissaries and rebel negotiators met for exploratory talks
in the Netherlands two months ago and agreed to hold formal discussions.
	The peace process, however, has been stymied by rebel demands to hold
the talks in a third country.
	Ramos, who has insisted that discussions take place in the
Philippines, called Thursday's attack as a ``desperate move'' by the
rebels to project a ``false sense of strength'' before the proposed
talks.
	``However, this will not in any way affect the government's resolve
to pursue the peace process nor derail the National Unification
Commission's peace efforts,'' the president said.
	He ordered armed forces chief Gen. Lisandro Abadia to raise alert
levels in military camps nationwide to prevent similar raids.
	Defense Secretary Renato de Villa warned earlier this week the
insurgents would step up violence against security forces to gain
leverage in formal peace negotiations.
	Ramos also has initiated peace with right-wing military rebels and
Muslim separatist guerrillas in the southern island of Mindanao.
