Welcome to the first issue of the Bayan F amily Album. The photo on this page shows the HROD family while viewing the photographs they have taken during our recent R & R. Here at Bayan, we love to take and look at photographs. We appreciate the power of images, which makes us want to take them as well as look at them—to remember the moment. Photographs record our lives...where we’ve been, who we’ve met, how we (and others) once looked. Pictures are tangible evidence of our personal histories. As the years pass, our “photographic record” will probably become the trigger for potent feelings of nostalgia. It doesn’t matter if we use the latest DSLRs or just a crappy cellphone. It’s not always about the quality of the image, or the composition, or the lighting... Sometimes it’s just about the people in the image and the feeling that it elicits. As more people consume more photography than they ever did thanks to things like Facebook, Instagram, iPads, Flicker, and other mediums, it is safe to say that this is the golden age of photography. Everyone takes photos now, and there is inspiration all around us. History is being made, and we’re capturing it. Thus we came up with the Bayan Family Album. We solicited your photos...your memorable moments that you would like to cherish and share with others. Because at Bayan, we are family.

After a couple of operational interventions, limited funding and some six hours of road trip away from ROC, Information Technology (IT) leaders finally got this teambuilding going last May 24-25.
With the challenges we faced, we said ‘Bring IT On!’ and thus were able to explore the coast of Bolinao, Pangasinan. This blazing sunset team photo-op, the fun team bonding activities, and the camaraderie built from knowing your teammates more – we say that it was all worth the effort! – Erick M.

Snow in Summer — Me and my kids – Sunshine, Gabby, Lala and Gio went to Manila Ocean Park last April to visit the penguins and we found ourselves in this room that mimics a snowy town. Truly an unforgettable summer for us! Penguins — Summer is a special season for children. My kids specially since this is their first time living in Manila. Having transferred from Cebu, I wanted to immerse them with the culture and environ of the bustling metropolis. One of our trip was at the Manila Ocean Park and we had a chance to take photos with the penguins. This shot is unique since is quite rare for these Humboldt penguins to gather in any photo shots. – Gleendo Dasmariñas, Marketing

My husband and I were given a chance to see the future we dream about when we attended the 50th wedding anniversary of my uncle last May. If we will be given the chance, we would also like to celebrate our anniversary in the place where it all started, saan pa kung di sa University of Santo Tomas. Syempre, we also took the moment to reminisce our college days and the best ways to do it is mag-picture – picture sa giant UST. – Jenny Elman, PDM
Noong April 28, 2012, kami ng family ko ay bumiyahe ng out of town papuntang St. Benedict Church sa Silang, Cavite, para mag-attend ng wedding ng isang relative. Masaya ang lakad namin na ito dahil kumpleto kami bilang isang family, at nakabihis pa kami ng formal para sa occasion. Kahit ang 10-year-old ko na si DJ ay pinagawan ko pa ng barong na maisusuot, dahil siya ang napiling Bible bearer para sa kasal. – Dimpy Jazmines, HROD

Krus ng Sierra Madre visits Bulacan The Krus ng Sierra Madre is made of pieced-together drift woods of the mulawin tree that were found in the mountains of Ingrid-Angelo which is part of the Sierra Madre mountain range in Pantabangan, Nueva Ecija. The cross symbolizes the trees that were destroyed and that are being destroyed in Sierra Madre mountain range. The pilgrimage aims to raise awareness on Sierra Madre’s current state of forest degradation and to get full support on its protection and regeneration. The Diocesan Ecological and Environmental Program (DEEP) of the Diocese of Malolos came out with a program on the arrival of the cross in Bulacan and on its different vicariate stop over which includes a 45-km bicycle fun ride from Sta. Monica Parish of Angat to Malolos Cathedral; followed by orientation on the activity and overview of the situation of Sierra Madre and the Diocese of Malolos’ response to the challenge of Save Serra Madre Network Alliance. - Liza Ventura, Finance, Controllership & Admin
