Jalaud Norte inspired from the River of Jalaur

Before, Jalaud is the official name of our barangay which was taken from the river name. But due to the increasing population and wide location, Jalaud was divided into two, the Jalaud Norte and Jalaud Sur. Economy wise, Jalaud Norte having a strategic location is more progressive of the two. We are thankful not only because of our current name but our progress is brought by this majestic and famous river of Panay - the JALAUR RIVER.

Jalaur River is the second largest river in island of Panay and the 17th largest river system in the Philippines in terms of drainage basin size. It has and estimated drainage area of 1,503 square kilometers and travels 123 kilometers from its source to its mouth in the Guimaras Strait. The river has an annual average discharge of 40.29 m³/second.

Be a Lourdesian & Let Your Faith Grows

Last Sunday, according to my Lola, a group of ladies pledge their loyalty and devotion to become part of the devotee of Our Lady of Lourdes.  Good to know that we have this group which symbolizes our faith and devotion to Mother Mary.

Father Villases the current parish priest of Our Lady of Lourdes in Bga. Bante – Bonco, Pototan, Iloilo inducted the said ceremony, which was hold after the first Mass celebration.

Being a devotee has a lot of responsibilities as it was read by Father.   Some of the duties include praying the rosary, going to church every Sunday and fiesta, recruiting other person to become part of the group and a lot more which I believe very important especially now-a-days we are encountering a lot of temptation and of course for our own soul survival. (Part of a Roman Catholic beliefs.)

Pero  if we check the members who pledge their devotion, puro sila mga babaye… Suno pa kay father indi lang in ulubrahon sng sang mga babayi kundi sng kadam-an man.  Siguro ini na guid man ang pagpanugod sng bag-o kag mas aktibo nga myembro.  Hopefully damo ang mainganyo nga mag-intra indi lamang tungod sa personal nga intension kundi ang pagpabaskog sang pagtuo- kag pagbulig sng mga tawo nga nadula sa ila esoerituhanon nga banas.
