from Rudy Arizala
Thanks for your email msg and for considering my stories on Infanta interesting.
Your mother "Nieva" is a good friend of my late mother (Coring). Your family lived before in"Isla" near the house of Inang Pinang and Amang Catalino Costumbrado. Inang Pinang is related to us through the Ruidera family.
I did not know that Aling "Nieva" has a daughter who joined the Benedictine sisters. Probably, you remember my youngest sister Merle. After teaching for sometime, she joined the Notre Dame de Vie Institute as lay sister. She is now in Angat, Bulacan.
After practising briefly lmy profession as a awyer, I joined the Department of Foreign Affairs. Was assigned in New Delhi, New York, Buenos Aires, Tehran, Santiago, Chile. I retired as ambassador in 1998 and since then has been residing in Santiago, Chile because our youngest and only daughter got married to a Chileno and my wife and I would like to be near our daughter.
If you do not know it yet, my other stories about Infanta were published in a book called "Labong ng Kawayan" in 2000. Also, there is a coffee table book published called "Infanta, Passage to the Pacific." It was published by BPI Foundation, Inc. The Bank of the Philippine Islands Bldg. Ayala Avenue, corner Paseo de Roxas, Makati City. It contains articles and pictures about Infanta.
The book "Labong ng Kawayan" was published through the Metro Infanta Foundation of which Mila Glodava is the President.
With best wishes and prayers,
Rudy A. Arizala
