Sonora Dodd, of Washington, first had the idea of a "father's day." She thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909.
Sonora wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. Smart, who was a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife died while giving birth to their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state.

Bantugan, Nantangalan, Maambal, Castaño, Haway. Not anymore “the overseas barangays”, but “the barangays just over the bridge”. Over the Malasin-Bantugan Bridge.
At 6:30 Saturday morning of June 5, 2010, twenty-five days before Mayor Emma Chan turns over the reign of the local government to the new administration, she fulfills a promise – a bridge to link the overseas barangays to the Poblacion.

A Tangent Course In The Realm Of Change
By "Biaza" (Real name: Blesilda dela Rosa-Salvador)
A sphere so steady in space…
A touch so light it hardly registers…
An impact so explosive it knocks out all that is dark and quiet…
And suddenly-- life so vibrant and true, it cuts through the flesh
and makes one feel brand new
The sphere:
Sometime in 1580, in the western coast of Northern Luzon, Philippines, the province of Pangasinan was created. In it a distinct town named Claris went on its daily quiet existence: folks planted, fished, and made salt and bagoong, children played, and early Chinese traders came and went.
The Spaniards who came to see and to conquer fancied the red bricks that made up the town’s well and soon were calling it the place of the red well or pozo rubio in their native tongue. Henceforth Claris came to be known as Pozorrubio. The story about the name’s origin though beloved is half a myth. The awaran or historical accounts claim that the town’s original name Claris was derived from Juan de la Cruz Palaris who led the revolution against Spain in 1762, to eventually proclaim himself king of Pangasinan.
