What's your sweetest memories or most unforgettable experience during High School and college days?  I have a lot of sweetest memories during those days specially in my College days most of my friends ask me "WHY" college and not high school baliktad daw aq usually kc high school dw ang the best, well not for me. I think one thing that i can share to you which i value most, is meeting and having true friends through thick and thin.I really miss my friends "PNM".

What's your saddest memories or worst experience during High School and college days?   Saddest memories are parts of our lives, coz if we don't have one, were not going to live a normal life diba. I also believe that these things made you even more stronger than you are before. Dami kong cnabi no pero the truth is hnd ko n matandaan ung saddest memories ko, kc aq I just want to remember only those things which can help me to move on. Then, that's it! Bkit ko b papahrapan ang sarili ko in thinking those bad things. At cyempre ang pinak dabest don't forget to thank and ask guidance to the one and only bestfriend nating lahat, " GOD ".

What's your sweetest memories or most unforgettable experience during High School and college days? The most memorable by far... What else could it be but our very own graduation day!!! (batch '88) just imagine after all our heavy rehearsals and practices, we ended up staging our commencement exercise inside the Nuestra Senora de Aranzazu church, it was because of the unexpected heavy storm that prompted the school management to transfer venue. We were wet all throughout the ceremony, most of our lady batchmates were all made-up, i could still recall how dissapointed we were as well as our parents who attended, but then as a whole it was fine,... a classic year that was. On the lighter side, High school life brings a lot of precious and priceless memories of our youth. Friends, teachers, songs of the eighties, petty quarrels,those puberty stuffs, parties, problems in paying tuition fees, crammings, reviews, hundreds of class exams to be passed, meeting deadlines for projects, the excitement in the pronouncement of who made it and who were not eligible to graduate that year, and a lot more that were instrumentals into molding us to what we had become today. I'm just wondering if most of my contemporaries are still around, some may have passed away without us knowing who among them, but i hope most of them are still very much alive and kicking just like me. Hope to hear from them, and maybe see them by chance or in some future events, Wherever they are, i just wish them the best of everything

Can you share to us your most unforgettable experience in San Mateo.  I have spent half of my life in san mateo, my younger years up to the time i graduated in college and got my first job. I may be away for sometime now, but most of my family and loved ones are still there. It's good to know that San mateo is soaring high. Hope to see more progress as it is happening today. Godspeed to all who are in authority, may they be of help and instrument in uplifting the lives of all san mateans.

Hello everyone esp to Mr. Sibulo,

Tama ka Tom, marami ng pagbabago sa ating bayan, unang-una ay yung munisipyo at mganda n sya, kala ko dati magiging antik n lang sya, hehehe. Maganda pama2lakad ngayon ni Mayor Diaz, sna ma-reach din ntin n tulad ng M'kina. Pero alam mo msrap buhay dati, n malaya kang nka2pag-saranggola s nkpalawak n rice-field, pero ngayon puros Subd na. Na-miss ko rin yung outdoor party dati, pero ngayon wla n cgurong ga2wa non at delikado n buhay ngayon, baka ma2ya nyan habang nagpa-party ka, eh hagisan k n lang ng granada. Madalas kc nagmu2ni-muni n lang ako, esp d2 s Saudi n trabaho lang ipinunta nmin d2, d tulad dyan s S'pore, although nkpag-S'pore n rin ako, way back 1995-1997. Msaya dyan 'tol, wla lang kc akong maipon dyan kya balik Saudi...he3.

Just wanna say tnxs to Mr. Slazh, d Webmaster, for having this site. This is really a great website for all San Matean's.

Cool site.

Naalala ko tuloy yung kabataan ko. Wala pang cover yung plaza. Yung Dona old-skool looks pa. 2 pa bridge sa Banaba pero giba yung isa. Yung Nuestra 2 palapag pa lang, at ang munisipyo, primitibo hehehe... as in... Roxas era, yung simbahan di pa ganong kagandahan at pwede ko pang akyatin yung tore na umuuga at lumalangitngit ang hagdang kahoy habang pumapanhik kami. Wala pang Max's, Jollibee, McDo, Viva City ba yon? Walang traffic sa ampid, bukid pa yung mercury drug, wala pang grocery sa balante. Nasan na si "Ngiti"?, sa tapat ng Jollibee, yung official fotog ng Dona at other schools hahaha... yung Jollibee dating imbakan ng yelo ni ngiti, yelong balot sa  ipa ng palay.

Yung sikat na tindahan ni Victoria na naging Max's, saka yung kainan ni Patchie na ngayon ay digitel na yata o SSS...hahaha. Well at least as years goes by, masasabi kong malaki na ang naging progreso ng bayan kong kinalakihan. Specially the bridge linking Santayo & QC.

Imagine, 16 years pa lang akong wala sa Santayo pero laki na ng pinagbago. Ilan lang ang di naiba... yung mga patok pa ring Jeep (: at yung ga-pagong na dmtc buses.

Those were the days... Sarap mag-reminisce.

Me and my family moved to San Mateo in 1991 after the tragic earthquake in 1990, we were residents then of Baguio City, one of the hardest hit by the earthquake. San Mateo became our beloved hometown, although Baguio City still remains in our hearts since we grew up, studied and started our family in Baguio City.

My youngest child is now a student in one of the schools in San Mateo, my 2 other children graduated in St. Matthew College, San Mateo.

What's your sweetest memories or most unforgettable experience during High School days?  Nang makapasa sa UPCAT at makapasok sa UP Diliman; Nang makatanggap ako ng mga academic awards sa loob at labas ng paaralan; Maging salutatorian nang gumradweyt nung highschool; Mga field trip lalo na nung 4th year sa baguio (retreat din yun, 3 days 2 nights); Mga klase sa araw-araw na puno ng katatawanan kasama ang mga kaklase; Mga paggala kung saan-saan at pamamahay kasama ang mga kaklase; At marami pang iba, hehehe^_^

What's your saddest memories or worst experience during High School and college days?  Syempre nung nagkahiwa-hiwalay na kami nung gumradweyt sa high school; Pagalitan ng ilang teachers dahil sa kalokohan namin; Paghihirap sa summer training sa CAT, pati ROTC sa UP Diliman; Malulupit na problem sets at exams tungkol sa Physics na minsan ay dala pa rin sa pagtulog at panaginip...

Can you share to us your most unforgettable experience in San Mateo, Rizal? 

Marami na rin ang mga pagbabago at pag-usad ang nasaksihan ko mula nang lumipat kami dito sa San Mateo nung mga October 1996. Ilan dito ay ang pagdami ng mga subdivision, business establishments, schools, at iba pa. Ngunit, para sa akin, at sa aking obserbasyon, masyado pa itong mabagal. Sa dumadaming mga taga-San Mateo, panahon na para sa tulong-tulong na pagkilos tungo sa mabilis na pag-unlad ng San Mateo. Panahon na rin, para sa akin, na maging lungsod ang ating bayan.

Ako kasi ay ipinanganak sa Quezon City, kaya mulat ako sa kaunlaran ng isang lungsod at mga nagtatayugang gusali. Isa pa sa naging aking inspirasyon ay ang Marikina City na dati rin naman ay isang bayan at kabilang pa sa lalawigan ng Rizal. Sa mabilis na panahon, sila ay umunlad na may disiplina sa mga sarili na gaya ng alam natin ngayon. Ano ba naman ang maging katabi ng Quezon City, Antipolo City, at Marikina City na napakabilis at patuloy na umuunlad sa kasalukuyan, kung hindi pa rin tayo maging isang lungsod?!

Sa katunayan ay napakaganda ng ating lokasyon kung heyograpiya ang pag-uusapan, dahil isang sakay lamang ay nasa Cubao ka na, at Philcoa, na mabilis na access sa iba pang bahagi ng Metro Manila. Kaya dapat ay mabilis din na maisulong ang pagiging lungsod ng San Mateo. Isa ito sa aking mga pangarap dahil sa mahal ko ang San Mateo na kinalakhan ko. Dito kasi ay napakatahimik, masaya, at malapit sa kalikasan (sa kabundukan). Sana ay maging little Baguio ang bundok ng San Mateo ngunit dapat ay panatilihin ang magandang kapaligiran. Hiling ko rin na may maitayong SM mall, o iba pang malls, at iba pang pasyalan dito sa atin upang hindi na tayo lumayo pa sa pamamasyal at hindi na maging pasikip sa Metro Manila.

Dahil dito ay kailangan na ng mga road-widening projects lalo na ang main road natin na Gen. Luna Road, dahil sa ngayon pa lamang ay napakasikip na ng trapiko lalo na sa may Ampid at Guitnangbayan. Maaari rin na magdagdag pa ng mga bagong kalsada para naman sa mas malawak na pagpipilian at paglalakbay o paglilibot sa San Mateo. Isa na dito ang kasalukuyang paggawa sa C-6 na dadaan sa bundok ng San Mateo kung saan marami ang maaaring magtayo ng mga establisyemento sa tabi nito. Bantayan natin itong mabuti dahil maraming magbubukas na oportunidad sa proyekto na ito... Kaagapay nito ay ang pagtatayo ng mga karagdagang paaralan at pamantasan dahil sa dumadami ngang populasyon sa atin. Mga bago at magagandang resorts (sa mountain at sa plains) ay mainam din na mas makakahatak pa sa mas maraming turista papunta rito. Ang kalinisan ay dapat ding pairalin sa kapaligiran ng San Mateo.

Mabuti ang isang lungsod na malinis at may disiplina. Makakatulong sa mga ito ang paggawa at pagpapatupad ng mga mahihigpit na batas na kailangan nating irespeto at sundin. Higit sa lahat ay dapat na panatilihin at mas pa-engrandehin ang mga pyesta at mga pagdiriwang ng mga barangay at ng mismong San Mateo. Maganda kasing maging tatak din ang San Mateo pagdating sa mga ganito lalo na sa relihiyon at simbahan gaya ng ngayon ay dambana na ng Nuestra Senora de Aranzazu, upang hindi tayo malayo sa Panginoon sa kabila ng pag-unlad. Sa madaling salita, isang matinding overhaul ang kailangan sa San Mateo.

Ilan pa nga lang ito sa mga gusto kong mangyari sa San Mateo, mas hahaba pa itong salaysay kung ilalagay ko pati ang mga specific na hiling ko para sa San Mateo. Sa tingin ko ay kayang-kaya natin gawin ito sa lalong madaling panahon kung magtutulungan lamang at ang pamahalaan ng San Mateo ay maging bukas para dito at huwag na ang paggawa ng katiwalian dahil para rin naman ito sa kapakanan ng mga taga-San Mateo. Nawa'y maging magandang bukana rin ang San Mateo sa lalawigan ng Rizal tulad ng sa Cainta at Taytay na ngayon ay umuungos din sa kaunlaran. Hindi pa huli ang lahat... At kapag naisakatuparan na ang mga ito, ito lamang ang magiging mga hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan na pangyayari sa San Mateo.

Mabuhay tayong mga taga-San Mateo!!!
