75 YEARS HENCE

by Fel Gorospe

Last August 6, 2011, I celebrated my 75th birthday.   Consistent with my vow of three years ago to celebrate my birthday in my hometown of Magsingal, Ilocos Sur, I opted to share my diamond anniversary of life in Barangay Miramar together with the homecoming party of our 2011 Fragaria Cup players & delegates, awarding of VGent Foundation, Inc. scholarship grants and the 3rd medical and dental mission empowering a healthy Ilocano community.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FPG

Looking back, 75 years hence, I am happy and fulfilled of what Magsingal has become and is becoming.  In less than a year, we were able to facilitate and inspire the establishment of cemented roads and bridge infrastructure, expand our scholarship programs, create a football field and even send two (2) football teams in Europe to compete. It is indeed rewarding.

Every year is a blessing and opportunity to help.  With the remaining years of my life, my only wish is that we be remembered by the lives we have touched, and I sincerely hope that I have touched enough lives to justify this long years of my existence.
