Cavinti Memories
A picture is worth a thousand words and these two photos from at over 30 years ago say it all.
“Those were the Days”
The photo above was sent to me by Ador Ramos of Canada. According to him, this picture was taken sometime in 1974. I could not even recognize everyone in the photo. Epoy Bacsafra helped me to identify them. Three more are still unidentified. If there is anybody who can tell who they are, please inform me so they can be properly introduced to us.

“Leaving on a jet plane”
The photo above was taken on July 26, 1974, the day my sister Heide and I (with X) left the Philippines for the United States. Everyone in the photo (there was a whole busload of them) saw us off. They are our neighbors, friends and relatives.
A native Cavintinian who took to California like fish is to water, Sonny Belleza loves to travel in his RV with his wife Cita.
