On Attracting more people to the site: A page about the famous and notorious people of Argao would be an interesting addition to the site.
We have scientists, legal luminaries, great programmers and innovators. A slice of who and what they are would be interesting – the people interest factor for the site.

my mother just turned 94 june 2 this year and she is a native of talaga, argao
when i was in my early pre teen my mother would take me to argao and it was so wonderful….i always have a good time and i can still recall the townsfolk are very friendly and probably the most hospitable of all.
maybe i will come home and retire in argao in the near future.
my mother’s name is marina marson miranda and is presently being taken care of by my sister in cebu city

Good day! How about featuring the Riverstone Castle here in this site…? (sorry, I’m not not a professional photographer but I do have some photos taken about 2years ago. I would love to share them!)

CONGRATULATIONS! My husband, Henry and I are very happy and proud to see the progressive vision for the Argawanons being implemented in Argao. Your use of cutting-edge technology and modern innovation in city governance is a model that should be applied in all of the Philippines. Again, an individual with the proper vision and determination is necessary for such programs to be successful. Kudos to our first cousin, ‘DA MAYOR.’

My dad has always been proud of his hometown, Tulic Argao. He still is. I remember the times when I visited Argao during my chidhood days … playing by the beach & going to the “mercado” for halo-halo or just hanging out with my cousins. I still remember the old house my great grandmother had. It was facing the beach & had a “hablonan” under the house. She would use a “budyong” shell to summon us when she needed us. I love Argao & I definitely love the torta. So now that I have kids of my own, I make every effort to tell them about Argao. I have finally had the chance to show them the place during our last visit to the Philippines last 2006. We hope to be back soon!
Congratulations to the Mayor & his staff for keeping our beloved Argao a place to be proud of!

I’m very proud & happy that tourism & free internet connection are
are being implemented in Argao. When me & my family came back
to the Philippines for a visit in 2006, we went to Argao to visit
my relatives. We had a good time over there & they served us the
famous torta which I haven’t eaten for years. I’m looking forward
to go to Argao again on my next visit to the Philippines.
Congratulations to my first cousin Mayor Edsel & his staff
for a great job promoting Argao.

Hi All,

I’m more than happy knowing and seeing Argao started its forward march. Mayor Edsel is just an instrument to this. He can not stay forever to finish it all, although he is the ice breaker. The greatest challenge is aimed to us all, Argawanons, who for years have fallen asleep and just let those people in authority(of the town) took care of all the actions… and the result is lousy growth of the town. It’s time to take part and give what we have to offer in whatever field of experties we have.

But the most important of it all is to guard against those corrupt individuals from sucking the precious blood of the town. Magpakabana tang tanan, di na nato usbon ang nangagi, KAYA NATO NI…MAGTINABANGAY TA BATOK SA MGA TRADITIONAL POLITICIANS.

You can count on me…I’m counting on you too. Mayor Edsel, I salute you!!!

Happy Fiesta to all…Torta, Tablea ug uban pa…ayaw apila ang shabu ug marijuana.

May God Bless Argao and its people.

Sige mag bisaya lang ko kay ang tanan nag-ininglis man. Pagkanindot diay sa Argao noh? Wala ni naku masuroy katong naa pa ko diha sa Pilipinas. Nag bridesmaid ko sa akong cousin sa iyang kasal. Iyang asawa ang inyong Family Doctor pero wala na siguro siya diha, dugay naman toh gud, wala na sad mi magkita. Kudos to the mayor!

hi congratulations to all argawanons for supporting mayor edsel galeos.
Vivien Egos Patrick Nov 26th, 2008 at 6:23 am

This is a leap of faith for all the Argawanons. Having public Wifi access, looking at all the pictures of the kanyun being repainted, history and heritage being preserved, it seems like there is hope in my motherland. I always ask my parents how is Argao doing everytime I chat with them. My mom and dad always say ‘Ops Argao is nice right now’ they say there are stations of barbecue stands in Tulic which used to be the boulevard, not much shabu because Edsel provided more work. Well I thought they just made this up, indeed it seems like they are telling the truth. I grew up in Argao and most of my relatives are still there so this is great news and hopefully Mayor Edsel will keep up the good work and the Argawanons will be grateful for this unconventional politician and will do their share as well. Looking forward to be back in Argao and visit my family and relatives.. And hey I am the oldest Vivien Egos…

Its nice to be as one of the Argawanons. They say that Argao is a place of intilligent and diligent personalities and I am proud to hear that even if I am not an intilligent one (hehehe). Kindly post photos of the first Pitlagong Festival.( Specially-Miss Pitlagong 2006)
Patrick M. Canonigo May 28th, 2009 at 8:29 am

Good job Alex and Mayor! God is always watching and he sees what good is being done all over the world! Keep up the great attitude and love that you have for the world is in need for it! I’m planning to visit Argao in January 2011. This will be the first for me! My mission is to pay respect to my grandmother and grandfather’s grave. Perhaps I will stop by to say hello and have some great Argao meal! Aloha and may God bless all of you!

Argao is known for great people but not much about its place until lately when our good mayor pooled the needed resources where it could serve best. Congrats to mayor galeos. But pls take a look at the mountain road in tulang and argao. morag giagian og agta sa kweba. morag darohan ang dan. kusog ang panghilot sa bukid kay mapiang man gyod human sa byahe.
