"I know Father Tony Gomowad from Besao. My mother Mary Ann (Piluden) is a Sagadan from the Angel A. Piluden family. My grandfather Angel Piluden was one of the first teachers in St. Mary's School. Father Tony is a family friend. We all lived in Guam from 1983-2004 and Father Tony was our priest at the St. Michael's Episcopal Church in Guam. What a small world! I've viewed the beautiful pictures that you took in Sagada and Besao and it makes me homesick, I miss Sagada so much! Thanks for posting the pictures."

"Hi David. Actually I live in Sagada and have since 2003. I'm retired from the University of Cincinnati. For my first three years here I assisted at Saint James' High School in Besao. Now I'm assisting at Saint Mary's School of Sagada."

"Hi. I came across this photo album just searching for Besao. I spent two years there in the Peace Corps, and it is the most beautiful place on earth. Do you live there? How did you end up there?"

"Great pictures and well organized according to dates. Where are your pictures when you came here last time? I could forward to you some that I took. Tony"

"Kent, I think it's also where the CD Library on which hangs my Ina Odpan's portrait. Could you add a picture of hers next to this Ama or Alapo's portrait? Thank you. Tony"
