I am proud of your work in preserving your identity and roots in a town like yours. It is indeed a very noble project not all towns in the Philipines has it. I believe in preservation of history, be it a town, a family name or anything that will remind our connection to our heritage. my only comment you miss is a Coat of Arm of the Del Gallegos, someone should trace your genealogy and I’m sure it is available. I have been to Spain and they can check your family name and your Coat of Arm diagram is produced in a click of the computer. Congratulations.

Thank you, ML! Your compliment is much appreciated.

On the coat of arms: unfortunately, unlike the Del Gallegos who have actually documented their roots to a Spaniard, I still have not done the same for the Veluz’s. I did find the family name’ coats of arms on-line but we don’t have the right to use them unless I have proof of lineage. I am diligently working on that though.

I am happy to hear from other veluz Clan. I am also Veluz and we are from quezon province in Lucena city. i hope to hear from u more…

i was trying to simply validate “danawin” at yahoo network! and gotcha! danawin is indeed at this gigantic WORLD WIDE WEB!

i’m a native of del gallego anyway! hope u could advertise more deeply this beautiful town of ours!

God bless!

I was born in Del Gallego but grew up travelling to different parts of the country. I am proud to be part of the town.

Greetings to the Veluz Clan !!! As a child, I lived in Del Gallego with my parents. I still remember going to Quilbay with my siblings. We also used to play near the water where the was a sunken ship. I plan to visit the town in the future, but don’t know for sure what type of accomodations are available. I look forward to revisiting my childhood town.

hi louis - my husband’s father grew up in del gallego but he didn’t. the last time we went on a roadtrip for dg, we had to go to naga for accommodations. although i heard that now, there are some houses of rent.

hi, nice to know that there is a site dedicated for the town of del gallego camarines sur, and for all the people who are in one way or another find affinity and good memories to this beautiful town. i came from the family of rodejos, my grandma in my mother’s side is a rodejo, and i have visited and have fond memories of del gallego since i was a child. it is only thru this site that i have known that my great2x grandfather once served as a mayor of del gallego (1947), and thinking of it makes me more closer to the town. kudos to everybody who made this site possible and may all our angkan increased!

I enjoyed your blog and appreciate the time and effort that went into the creation of it.
I am a native of Tagkawayan, currently residing away from my hometown. Last time I was back there was March 2008 to sever the last remaining link I have with the town. Even if Tagkawayan was but just a brief mention in your creation, it gave me chills up my spine and brought back childhood memories.

I recognize the Veluz last name - are you part of the family who owns a property atop a small hill between Our Lady of Lourdes Parish and the Municipal Hall?

Again, thank you for the work you do.

I agree with all the comments. I never thought that there is site like this for Del gallego. My family is still there. My family’s surname is Ubante and I am relative to Del gallego’s. Right at this very moment i feel so home and so proud that not only me is seeing the beuty of our town.
