Dear Kababali,
Do you want to meet up with relatives, friends, neighbors, classmates, or townmates you have not seen or heard from for a while?..
Please join us on November 24, 2012, Saturday from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Valle Verde 1 Clubhouse, No. 1 Suha St., Valle Verde 1, Pasig City. This is our second get together as Kababali. We hope to bring together once again Zambalenos who have migrated to Metro Manila to start reconnecting with one another. The initial attempt was a successful gathering in Alabang Hills of mostly Iba residents. This time, we hope to bring together Zambalenos from other towns, specially those who speak Sambali because we are also launching on this day the second edition of " Treasuring Our Heritage..The Sambali Language", published by the Zambales High School Alumni Associationin in 2001. The second edition will include more vocabulary as well as devote some pages that will classify words according to subject..ex.. Food, Parts of the House, Events, as well as verbs and adjectives that are commonly used.
Traditionally Zambales has two official languages: Sambali, which is spoken by those who live in the northern part, ( Cabangan to Santa Cruz) and Ilocano, which is the language spoken by those who live in the southern part of the province. Unlike Sambali, Ilocano however is not an endangered language, whereas , Sambali is considered a dead language. After the generation of those born in the 40's and 50's, the number of Zambalenos who speak Sambali , has dwindled a lot. Through the second edition. we hope to contribute in the preservation of our Sambali language.
Attached is the reservation slip for the November 24, 2012 Get Together. We are requesting for a minimum contribution of Php 500.00 per person. This will cover the expenses for the caterer, the venue and other miscellaneous expenses.
We are also soliciting sponsors for the second edition. A separate donation of Php 500.00 will entitle you as a sponsor, to a copy of the second edition. Your name will appear in the pages devoted to the list of sponsors. Because it has been agreed that KABABALI will be apolitical and non-sectarian, we did not solicit from any political party or any business group. However, we will welcome their support in their individual capacities as fellow Zambalenos. This gathering is not limited to Sambali speaking Zambalenos. It is open to all Zambalenos and their friends.
We have already reserved the venue but we need your reply ASAP in order to make a more accurate headcount for the 50% downpayment required by our catarer. Please reserve not later than Oct 31, 2012 thru M. Tinio, telephone 0917-8583447, A. Vallesteros, telephone 0917-8551485, L. Lardizabal, telephone 0926-7016374. The earlier the better!
Thank you for your generosity and cooperation.
