i tried incorporating all segments of my Video, and I found out it worked seamlessly without any degradation of its image. I did not place the link anymore into the Asingan Website. Anyway, this video was automatically downloaded into FaceBook and most Asinganians are using the Face Book...

Lots of Yuletide memories are wrapped in the 4 video segments I made. The soundtrack came from an NBC Christmas Special broadcasted decades ago. My sis Aurora was still in Port Arthur Texas then, working as an exchange student. She received her training here as a Medical Technologist. Very frequently she would send us records and other US goodies. One of them was this vinyl of the soundtrack. The narrator is Tennese Ernie Ford, and the carols were done by Eric Rogers Chorale and Orchestra. On my first year as a teacher at the DWA,(1969) I handled the Christmas program in this school. I used this soundtrack and the participants were all students from my First Year, section A class..It was an all-girl section. Virgin Mary was played by Julieta Marquez, the veledictorian then of the class. I made all the props, background sceneries, the whole shebang. The participants were dressed in gaudy costumes from the Biblical times..It was a one man work, but it paid off because I received at the end of the program, a bundle of Christmas cards. Each card came from one student of that class..Each one was thanking me for being their teacher...The same Christmas '69, on a different evening, the Guest speaker of ASAT was the DWA Director, Fr. Georg Harwardt. At the same program, the same Pageant which I showed at the DWA, was also shown in ASAT. I played the record backstage and the participants ( led by Jenny Isaac and her 3 friends, plus other members of her class ) acted out their parts in pantomine. Fr. Harwardt, my boss then was so impressed with my abilities in stage presentations....The photos of the slide show came from various books in my house here at 19 Dixon. The porcelain and glass figures too depicting the Nativity are found in my basement...The live shots during the JOY TO THE WORLD song were all shot in Manila in 2005, mostly in Ayala Blvd, Makati and in the residence of former Nympha Salom and family in Magallanes Village. The nativity scene on top of an arch was at the entrance of Magallanes Village. Nympha owns those jumbo sized porcelain Nativity figures near a staircase...It is a very expensive nativity set, but nothing seems to be too expensive for the residents of Magallanes Village..The cluster of lights ( much prettier than our Xmas lights in Toronto ) are shot in Ayala Blvd. Makati..Only 1 photo is from Cambria, the Christmas plant. This shot was taken by Archie's daughter in front of Ricky's house...When you travel at night from Manila to Asingan during December, you will find nothing but lights in front of houses. Then one wonders where is the electricity is coming from?..But I am not complaining because it's a festive treat for one's eyes..Even Asingan's municipal hall looks like a Disneyland building with all of those Christmas lights sprucing up its facade..Several houses in Asingan are also decked with gorgeous lights at night during the Christmas season..
