Ayos, invite pa po kayo rito ng mga taga brgy. D para marami tayo.

Rosario, Batangas rocks! The web site is really cool.

I would just like to note that the Macatangay clan of Ireneo 'Ka Niyong' and Barbara 'Ka Barang' Macatangay (aside from Basilia Macatangay), are also pioneer residents of the Barangay D community even as early as the 1930's, and could even be earlier than the families mentioned in the profile. The Mindanaos, Calderons, Moradas, Gutierrezes, Katigbaks and Contis are kapitbahays, as in kalapit bahay. Prominent cousins are the Macatangays and Cuarteros of Barangay B, the Magtibays of Barangay C, and the Zuños of Barangay D.

The better known grandchildren are Noel and Joselito Castro, the former being the Principal of St. James High School in Ibaan and the latter, an employee of the Provincial Government of Batangas.

Thank you and more power.
