Happy Mothers Day to all Mamas.  From the Ramilo family in Darwin, Australia. 

For some reason The Fernan clan website is quiet tonight. No visits, nothing on my Yahoo mail and thank goodness Bong put a stop to the viagra, sedatives and other drugs spam notices on the guestbook. Those notices kept me on my toes and agitated since it appeared four days ago. No new e-mails so I revisited the 1999 e-mails when the Fernan website was created.

Tuesday, 28 March 2000 entry from Cynthia Fernan Taasan,
'Well, I hope this piece of info is going to help you. I'm glad this website has been established so we can track relatives and exchange info. Hopefully we'll get accurate and complete info about the family one of these days. Someone hopefully will be able to remember bits and pieces from what we've been told from childhood and maybe get corroboration from the rest of the family members.'

Pinoy rock musician and poet, Dong Abay considers Bong as one of the best Filipino poets, singer/songwriters of all time:

He wrote these progressive songs during the Martial Law years in the Philippines. He's now based in Darwin, Australia and living as a cultural community development practitioner.

Dr Jose Velayo Abelardo was the son of the famous painter, Juan Henson Abelardo and Cecilia Pengson Velayo. His cousin was Nicanor Abelardo, the 'Father of Philippine Sonata' and the uncle of another famous Abelardo family member, Benjamin Abelardo Resella, 'A Filipino American Hollywood Luminary'.
