I am sure that most of you remember Facoma as a tobacco vending point, while some may remember it as a military headquarter. But for me, it will be remembered as my school --- The Magsingal National High School!
Yes, The Magsingal National High School (MNHS) now stands where the Facoma (which is the acronym of Farmers Cooperative Market) used to be. And although Facoma no longer exists, people still refer to The MNHS as Facoma. But it doesn’t matter, it took me some time to realize that colgate is just another brand of a toothpaste! I used to hear kasi people saying, “pabili nga po ako ng colgate, yung close-up po ha.” O kaya, “tinto man gatangen tayo nga frigidaire ket tay Hitachi, namadi kano diay frigidaire nga Westinghouse.” hehehe… Although it is not really a big deal if people refer to MNHS as Facoma, I am sure that later on they will get used to calling MNHS as The Magsingal National High School.
