THE HOMECOMING

Never have we imagined that it was almost two years ago on May 30, 2008 that we meet at Col. Mateo Luga's home in Fairview to talk about the Homecoming of Gen. Mateo Noriel Luga, in his place of birth in Tumauini, Isabela. Never have we encountered in our history books the life and times of a Great Leader, a hero at that, who lives by the principles of love, family, honor, country, and glory who lived a life of a leader, fighting his own war with men foreign to his culture to fight an honorable warfare against the navy of the greatest nation in this planet, the Naval Forces of the United States of America, in Cebu. He fought an honorable warfare despite rescuing his love ones made as hostage to weaken his resolve. His heroism was written by his fiercest enemy, the Americans, out of respect and admiration to his high degree of honor and candor to his enemies despite superiority in force and application of uncommon method. To the man, to whom dedicate this . . . . . (PLEASE DOUBLE CLICK HERE)

Isabela Awaits you project has gone a long way . . . it was started by Mala Jean Luga, who I accidentally stumbled upon while surfing in the net. who is this lady so bold! Shouting before the world that she is a proud Filipino because her ascendant is the Great Tribal Warrior! To support this lady who is advocacintg for a Grand Reunion of the Luga Clan to celebrate the 75th Death Anniversary of this hero, I then started to built the blogsite ALIMUKON, in the hope of advocating the spirit of nationalism that depicts the life and time of Gen. Mateo Noriel Luga, hoping that a foundation shall be established for that matter. we set a meeting at Col. Mateo Luga's place, that was on May 30, 2008.

On June 14, 2008, our first mission, we travel to Isabela to do a documentary The Isabela Awaits You Part I Project. the we laucnhed teh Ibanag Cyber Revolution Project. We then built the siteTHE LUGA CLAN. We continued advocacting for good governance and the recognition of this Ibanag Tribal Warrior, until on June 12, 2009 Gen. Mateo Noriel Luga, was honored by no less than the President of the Republic of the Philippines. We did not stopped from there and we should not stopped from there, until this resolve is not institutionalized. Toady, Fr. Angel Luga continues the struggle by building a solid foundation for the Isabelenos and the Cagayan Valley per se, which once ruled by our ancestor, in his One Barangay, One Chapel, One Community, One Church Project, complementray to the Project is the establishment of a Cooperative, the Malappo Nga Ibanag Cooperative in place of our desired Foundation in honor of this Great Leader and his descendants, which Fr. Angel Luga wanted to launched during the 75th Year Death Anniversary Celebration of en. Mateo Noriel Luga. We urged everyboy to support this porject. Please send your donations to Fr. Angel Luga, for this noble project t be realized, become a member, stockhoder, donor of this Cooperative for the spirit and advocacy of this great warrior to live on forever in hearts and mind of the Ibanag and other cultural minority groups in Cagayan Valley, which he brought along in his war for the freedom of this nation.

ABOUT THE FISHERY COMPONENT PROJECT
OF MALAPPO NGA IBANAG

The proposed fishery project of the farmers in a barrio at San Pablo, Isabela, consists of an eight hectare farm located in San Pablo. It concerns the development of fishpond with an land area of more or less than two hectares within the 8 hectare farm of Malappo Nga Ibanag Cooperative, with a spring source of water upstream. It's objective is to provide a fishery aspect component to supplement the farmers in the entire province who are members of the MALAPPO NGA IBANAG (double click here) Cooperative (A Farmer's Cooperative engaged in production of medicinal plants in the entire Isabela Province).

The objective of our Fishery Component Project are, as follows: 1.) To serve as a pilot area that shall be replicated in the entire Province of Isabela 2.) As a post harvest facility with manufacturing component, where the fish produced can be processed into by products (considering that the area have sufficient facility for food processing/manufacturing facility).

The above Projects are Sub Components of the One Barangay, One Chapel, One Community, One Church Project (1 BCCC) of FR. ANGEL LUGA and the LUGA CLAN, which started almost two years ago from ISABELA AWAITS YOU . . . PART I PROJECT, in honor of Gen. Mateo Noriel Luga, the Ibanag national hero, who, after fighting depending the freedom of his country, never made it back to his beloved land, the Cagayan Valley.

This is just a part of the entire project concept, for the benefit of the Ibanag Tribe and other cultural minority groups in Cagayan Valley.
