went to look for owwa pampanga. the last time I web inquired sometime beginning of school year, ang address sa Bowlodrome, san fernando p.Nasa dolores, pampanga n pl. Ang tel.number sabi e residential daw un. October and last date of filing. un pala ginawa na Sept 15. Iniupdate and website daw Aug. 28, tpos Sept.15 deadline n agad. Sa madaling sabi late n at di na makaka apply. Nagbigay daw s schools ng letter ang pampanga but to date di pa natatanggap ng school dito sa Bulacan. I recommend you extend the application. I also recommend you update the web at the start of the school year. DOST gave an extension and the school has recvd the letter. Improve your communication further. Give chance to many others. Thanks. Godbless.

Igorota Song

Help us promote this Song. Super ganda ang lyrics and the melody, nahohomesick tuloy ako! Atlast the song is finally uploaded sa youtube. Most people from Kias know this song way back 1990's because this song was introduced by DAnny Tawanna who was the composer. Jun was so lucky that Danny gave him all his compositions to record. Danny is likewise lucky to have Jun record his songs. For everybody's info Danny suffered from a stroke and is now living in Nueva Viscaya. Just don't know if Jun pushed his plan of having Danny in his audience when he launched this album. (rainne68)
