Quetang Lebasan ming Villa

 (Below is one of the novelty Capampañgan songs by the King of Polosa, Tatang Rodolfo "TOTOY BATO" Laxamana. It tells about a woman they wooed whose physical characteristics is beyond their expectations. Photo below was a Tagalog woman from a for-sale gallery book in todoscoleccion.net)

An indigenous Tagalog woman.
Late 1880s.

QUETANG LEBASAN MING VILLA

Ing quequeng iparamdam,
samasnan yeng uliñgiran,
‘bie pu ing quequeng lebasan,
aniang ibat que Canlubang.

Nung atin mang mesambitla
caring laguiu ring aliua,
‘bie ra sang ipanupaya
uling iti e mi seria.

Quetang lebasan ming villa,

(Acu naman pu y Totoy

Y’acu naman pu y Baby

Ing palda nang misnang bantut

Ing quequeng tibuan ing Capampañgan

tinatag mi ya iting aguman
para caring mañgailañgan!

Renacimiento 101: "At the Villa San Miguel"

Here is another photo brought back to life. I found this photo of Archbishop Alejandro Olalia, D.D. and added it in my FB album. Pictured here is the altar of the Archbishop's Palace in Villa San Miguel (Mandaluyong). It is intact even to this day, silvers and all. The Virgin Mary is an ivory image. Recently, I fondly recolored it via lip tint media of the Picmonkey.com, so here's the result. :)

On the subject's history

The Catholic Church hierarchy in the Philippines is peopled with many Kapampangan religious leaders who are noted for their pioneering spirit and missionary zeal. The first names that come to mind are Cardinal Rufino Santos of Guagua, the 1st Filipino prince of the Church and Archbishop Pedro Santos of Porac. But equally outstanding was the life of another Kapampangan priest who also rose to become an archbishop of note: Most Rev. Alejandro Olalia.
The future church leader was born on 26 February 1913 in the town of Bacolor. He studied at the Bacolor Public School and attended San Carlos Seminary (1930-36), from where he finished his priestly studies. Sent to the Gregorian University, he was ordained a priest at age 27 on 23 March 1940 at the Pio Latino American College. Two years later, he obtained a Licentiate in Canon Law. He then hied off to the United States as an exchange priest, where he served in a Georgian parish. On 18 May 1944, he earned a Doctorate in Canon Law from the Catholic University of America.Upon his return to the Philippines on 4 February 1946, he was assigned to be the Assistant Parish Priest of Tondo. In September of 1947, Fr. Olalia was named as the private secretary of the Archbishop of Manila. His leadership qualities earned him an appointment as Coadjutor Bishop of Tuguegarao and Titular Bishop of Zela on 2 June 1949 at the age of 36. A scant two months after, he was ordained as bishop on 25 July 1949. The next year, he succeeded the Dutch-born Bishop Constancio Jurgens C.I.C.M., who served Tuguegarao for 22 long years.
From Tuguegarao, the bishop was assigned to Lipa in Batangas in 1953, replacing then Bishop Rufino J. Santos, who was elected as Archbishop of Manila. The reverend was noted for being a good manager of the church, often conducting business even in full Prelate regalia. He was also noted for being an open-minded religious, “who accepted all good things that came to the Philippines, including the Cursillo”. He was the first to support the SOS Children’s Village in Lipa, a haven for abandoned and orphaned children—a revolutionary concept at that time, established in Lipa in 1967.
It was during his term that the Diocese of Lipa became the tenth Archdiocese and Ecclesiastical Province as decreed by Pope Paul VI on 20 June 1972. He was likewise elevated to the rank of an Archbishop. Archbishop Olalia would stay at the diocese for 20 years, until his death on 2 Jan. 1973, not quite 60 years old (from "Views from the Pampang".blogspot.com).

  

Renacimiento 101: "Beato Vicente Soler"

Here is the very first old photo I coloured by the online app "Picmonkey.com". I got this photo of Blessed Vicente Soler, OAR from the OAR Heritage and History blog. Seeing sepia photo is truly such a nostalgia, but bringing them back to life is even a more exciting part. So I share to you this photo, hoping you like and love it. :D

On the subject's history

At the outset of the Spanish Civil War in July of 1936, Father Vicente Soler, a poet and a friar of the Augustinian Recollects' monastery in Motril, Spain, told the nuns of the Recollects' convent in the same city, 

"Some of us will die and be martyrs, but after Good Friday comes the Resurrection." 

On July 25, five of Father Soler's fellow friars were executed, and a sixth was gunned down the next day. Father Soler evaded capture until he was betrayed to the authorities and arrested on July 29. Over the seventeen days that followed, he used his time in prison to pray with the other prisoners, leading them in a Marian novena, and hearing their confessions. He also won the conversion of an anti-religious Socialist. When at length prisoners were being singled out for execution, Father Soler offered to die in place of a father of eight children, but the exchange was refused, because Father Soler's name was already on the list of those condemned to death. On August 15, 1936, the solemnity of the Assumption, Father Soler was able to bless and absolve a number of others executed with him before his own execution (from the Catholic.org).

Fr Vicente Soler hid in the home of two young women until 29 July, but was betrayed and captured. He led prayers for his fellow prisoners, encouraged them, heard their confessions and converted the socialist Juan Antúnez. He was shot at dawn on 15 August with another 28 (from the EWTN.com).

Hola amigos! 

Due to boredom, I fondly coloured some sepia and black-&-white photos I have in my FB album. Using the Picmonkey App online, I revived some of them and posted in my timeline. Seeing the good feedback from them, I want you now to see them here in my antiquarian blog. I hope you watch out for the next photos came back into life. 

[Photos being posted here are from the worldwide websites and numerous blogs. If you recognize some of your photos and you wish to reclaim or remove them here, kindly email me at satchiea@gmail.com]

Good day! Ciao!

Old Item 101: "Colección de Cánticos Sagrados”

One of the antique collections in my list is the 2^nd Volume of the "Colección de Cánticos Sagrados” [Collection of Sacred Hymns], compiled and composed by Reverend Father Fray Domingo Carceller, O.R.S.A.* in the year 1952. It is a compilation of his exquisite musical opus, most of which are hymns sung in the Holy Mass. One of them is the Himno Oficial del 33^ra Congreso Eucarístico Internacional [Official Hymn of the 33^rd International Eucharistic Congress] held in 1937 at the city of Manila.

There he also composed: several Latin and Spanish Hymns, five Mass Settings including his very own Missa Requiem, six (6) versions of Sálve Regina, two (2) versions of Rosario Cantado [Rosarium cum Cantu], two (2) Villancícos, five (5) Letanía Lauretana, five (5) Joseph, Fili David, and some hymns to Saints Augustine of Hippo, Rita of Cascia, Anthony of Padua, and songs to the Our Lady of Consolation, Immaculate Conception, five (5) Himnos a la Virgen del Carmen, three Ave Maria, his Despedida a la Virgen del Carmen and other more hymns and chants.

Fray Carceller dedicated this compilation to his Prior General, Fray Eugenio Ayape de San Agustín. Its Nihil Obstats are Frailes Constancio Peña [who gave the “Proemio” or Foreword] and Daniel Ayúcar, O.R.S.A., the Imprimi Potest Fray Simeon Asensio de San Gregorio Ostiense, O.R.S.A., and the Imprimatur el Vicario General, Monseñor José Jovellanos, H.P. in the 9^th of April, 1952.  

The book was printed in offset by Joaquin Clavano and binded by Siongco’s Binding Shop.

The first custodians of this book are the Dominican Sisters of Saint Catherine of Siena (Philippines), in their first Generalate House at the Santa Catalína College (Calle Legarda, Sampaloc, Manila). It was discarded in the mid-2013 and I saw it included in the junks, so I saved it and kept it in my custody.

The Cover Page features one of the stain glasses of San Sebastian Church.

A glimpse of what's inside the book.

*this is the proto-title of the Augustinian Recollects (Ordinis Recolletorum Sancti Augustini), which is changed to “O.A.R.” (Ordinis Augustinianorum Recolletorum).

    

Old Item 101: "La Santa Biblia"

This is just one of the old items [and the first, actually] in my collection. It was primarily cared by Atty. Marwil "Mars" Llasos until he handed it down to me in the year 2011. This Holy Bible dates back year 1868 in Barcelona, Spain and was published and annotated by Most Rev. Felipe Scio de San Miguel, Bishop of Segovia and Ex-Provincial of the Order of Pious Schools (Escuelas Pias).

It is the fourth and last tomo (volume) of the Old Testament series. It includes the books from the prophet Jeremiah up to the Books of Maccabees.

Its provenance traces back to a certain Presbitero Diocesano Padre Vicencio Maclang of Vigan, Ilocos Sur. This year is its 146th year and 3rd year in my custody.

Here are some glimpses on this precious collection of mine.
