"It maybe the REALITY but not the TRUTH"

Dr. Emil Abad Europa

February 14, 2009

It’s my first time to browse over the SE Website. It’s interesting to note that many San Estebanians have found their individual piece of sky.

“Afterthought” is a timely piece for meditation, pondering, soul-searching, and, most of all, nostalgia. There’s one point though, that I’d like to underscore.

We, humans, exist and live in a secondary level of society, subjugated to that of God’s Primary Level under His Natural Law. Unfortunately, it’s in this secondary level where we are in, everything becomes relative and appears to be an optical illusion. What we see… hear…and or feel are Real; but is the Truth? Kaya maraming nag-aaway sa web dahil sa iba’t ibang pananaw ng tao tungkol sa mga bagay-bagay. When someone tells you, I love You, it’s very real because you Hear it; but is it the truth? Talaga bang iniibig ka niya?

Be on your guard, mga mahal kong kababayan. Don’t merely exist…Live!

Dr. Emil Europa is my Tito. I call him that way maybe because I call his brothers, Noli and Frank the same way. Or  perhaps for the reason that I call his sister Emma, Tita. But then I call Aides, Kulas.

I am egotistic if we confer about my Tito Emil before. I want him to focus on me alone when he visits SE. Otherwise, I just need to be with him. The last time we’ve been together was on the fiesta I organized in Barangay Cappa-cappa in May 2005. Tita Emma was the main sponsor of the event. He came to grace the occasion.

Tito Emil and I deliberate many ideas. He is a multi-degreed persona. He is my psychologist, artist, lawyer but not my dentist. We discuss things in our own terms. A lot of jargons in the English language mostly poetic. I cannot forget his lines about reality and truth. Furthermore, about memoirs and vendetta  in painful remembering. I still have those lines in my secret notes in SE, now, partly in atonement. I did not publish it because those lines completes his poem in the making. More to the point that it indoctrinated me in the fullest sense of the word.


Hi Tito Emil! Thanks for the email. Extend my regard to Rhex. I read your discussions in the web forum. It is really a surplus ever to ponder. I reserved my lines of reasoning for you and Rhex. Pantalan was a postulated project listed under Tourism of  my platform of government when I joined the SB race in the 2007 election.  Hello to Tita Emma Kongsilp, Tito Noli, Tito Frank and my TG friend Aides Europa. I miss you like crazy!

I’M PROUD TO BE A SAN ESTEBANIAN! EBAN NAK! EBAN TAYO! AGBIAG!
