THRU WEBSITE:
Ladies and gentlemen…. Good evening. Tonight is the night. We will rock your neighborhood ..and fill your senses with Ursos music … Lend me your ears and we will sing the song that we have prepared for you…the ursos families of Taglikid…..In front of you is the so called the URSOS BAND, the AJ Band …. This was my introduction during the launching of the Ursos Band we have organized two years ago…at Taglikid.
Then the drums excelled fast after my intro..… the drummer is an Ursos - Cyrus ursos Ladera…
Then entered the chinito…our Lead guitar… Mr. Ah Ah Ursos, son of Inday ursos
The bass guitar…another chinito… Russel Ursos Maandig
Our vocalist were Lalay, daughter of Yoyo Boy Ursos and Cila & alic both the grandchildren of Concesa ursos..
“Before we proceed to the music of the new genra… let us hear how the ursos sing long time ago”…. I announced again
The people went nearer the stage and the great applause came when the favorite of the people came to the stage… vice mayor Loloy ursos….
He was assisted by Gideon ursos and Rodulfo ursos,
Together..the trio sung their favorite song…
I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me …..
This was happened during the summer when Uncle Loloy run for mayor of san Francisco agusan del sur… and we organized the ursos band
The sound of the old guitar and the voice of Tiyo dodong Ursos reminds me of how the ursos trio captured the hearts of the people of san Francisco . Their voices were appreciated but went unnoticed for most - those voices are exclusively dedicated in the service of worship
The night in taglikid is romantic… nature over the man made lights.. you can still appreciate the moonlight The shadow of the trees are fading as the moon went up further from the thick brushes from far eastern side of taglikid where the benjamen Ursos lands were located.
Most Ursos are singing for the choir. I was always appreciating them because I personally heared them and I know that those voices are so fine.. …
This talent is something within the ursos blood…
Within my clan ..those voices were heared by many…
Amando ursos..won..the singing contest of davao city in the early 1950s…
Auntie baby (Lilia ursos) was the golden voice of the Governor’s Music Band of the Capitol, Agusan del sur in the 1970s..
Tiyo dodong , captured it first..on an amateur singing contest in butuan city
Yaya inday Luzminda ursos…was the champion of the singing contest in Cavite city… the first woman there who sung while she played her own guitar..
those are the ursos performers in the past...
presently there are so many that we dont know and we want to discover
such as Merlindo ursos Jr. who made their concert at the mall of cebu
aldin ursos who have their music band at makati today
NEIL CYRUS URSOS LIPIO of san carlos, negros
jovan ursos of manila who was famous of his golden voice..
……….
I went further to discoverl why this happened?
This was the beginning of ursos at Tagaluahan long time ago… all ursos cousins were trained to sing as members of the choir…
My mother concesa ursos was in tagaluahan
My mother recalled… her barkada at tagaluahan was esther penaso… some cousins that personally known to her were nang bidang Guzman, Feliciano Ursos, NOng Kune, Tiyo Tinoy, NOng toring ursos, Dapal, Nang Ursing ursos timaan, nang Fe Ursos Amoren, NOng Arsing Ursos, Nang Enriqueta Ursos Dinero, Auntie Rosalina ursos, Elizabeth Ursos daughter of Mano cadong, Rodney ursos son of Sergio…and she recalled that she was in Calatraba when Grace ursos Camado was an infant….
When she was in Tagaluahan Bohol…
She was personally under the cares of Itay Iyong and inay Juana… My mother and esther penaso were playmates… then during the choir..practice , they were obliged to sing… Inay Juana is a silent beautiful old woman…. Her beautiful blue eyes just stared on them both of Concesa and esther when they were playing around the ancient house of Tagaluahan…
MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE CHILDREN OF BENJAMEN URSOS:
My impression to the children of Benjamen….. they are a happy people
They are so good to me..and they are always smiling to me
Very honest in their stares…. They love me
I don’t know why……
So I tried to discover why?
I never have any personal experience with the families of Nong Arsing ursos ( now in general santos city) and Nang Doring ursos Diolata ( now in Tagum city) because when I came to taglikid… they have already settled in Dadiangas and Tagum..
The Family of Rev. Ramon Ursos , son of Benjamen Ursos
Brother of Nang Doring of tagum, Nong Arsing Ursos of General Santos
Nang Enriqueta Ursos Dinero, auntie Rosalina ursos Macanim of Cagayan de oro
My first impression with them started when I was still a boy…
I encountered Rev Ramon ursos and his wife Auntie dora Daman when they came to taglikid in a motor cycle from dadiangas around 1971.. I was in grade 1 in my elementary during those times…
My mother upon seeing them rush to the scene…leaving me behind just to hug those two beautiful ursos….
: your son ? “ asked auntie dora
: yes.. his name rey” , the other three bobong and tata and leni.. replied my mother
Auntie dora was so smiling and she hugged us all…
Momentarily…there came rushing several cousins from inside the church .
Rev Margarito ursos , UCCP pastor ,son of dikoy was there
Nang Carmen ursos Niog daughter of Tatong ursos was there, , Marciano Ursos Sr., Joel Ursos both children of Dikoy were also there, Amando ursos & his wife Juliana, Noy Benjamen, and several beautiful Ursos cousins came rushing to greet the two in a motorcycle..
I saw in their faces the happiness of seeing their loveone who came from dadiangas just to visit them… Dadiangas ( the old name of General santos city) is a far away place from taglikid.. it’s a one day travel by a car..
Some smiling and laughing with the tears in their eyes… Is it common to all ursos ? the kind of smile and laughing in tears ? but I believe how happy they were because its my own attitude too…. When I am very happy.. I laugh with the tears in my eyes…
Both Rev Ramon Ursos and Rev. Margarito Ursos and their families have devoted their lives in the service of speading the word of God.
//////////////////////////
The night in taglikid is cold and scenic .. tempting to feel romantic, the ecstacy of singing the beautiful love songs while you don’t care if nobody will hear it…
Again..tiyo dodong ursos finds his voice… hala bira…
Wise men say..it looks like rain today
It crackled on the speakers and tricked down the sleepy subway train…
For heavy eyes could hardly hold us aching legs that often told us
Its all worth it….we all fall in love sometimes….
Upon the beat of the strums , auntie baby joined Tiyo dodong with her golden voice, Some people who pass by would stop and listen….
They thought it was a radio in the evening … but the guitar had made a pause..
Auntie baby was teased by Tiyo dodong.. so nabulabog..so it was a real voice not just a radio
Wow !!!!! what a voice…
Yaya inday…grabbed the guitar from the hands of tiyo dodong…
And she tried her own style… a kind of picking
So a duet ….goes..
The full moon’s bright…. And starlight filled the evening
We wrote it and I played it…. Something happened its so strange this feeling
Naïve notions that were childish…simple tunes that tried to hide it
But when it comes… We all fall in love sometimes
//////////////////////////
The children of benjamen ursos were simple and happy people…
The story goes that.. when Lolo Sergio Ursos came back from the US…his first mission was to find his brother. Benjamen was missing for many years…
At home..the family was intact except Benjamen and amando.
The decade of the 1950s…..after the great war..there was peace in everywhere
Bino and his family became established in the market of ubay,
Inay minay was already married and settled with Melecio Lungay
Manding tua also married with Rosendo Sente
Dikoy Ursos and his family settled in the farms around ubay
Inko dorot and his family found fishing as a good souce of income
Persida ursos married with timoteo Galo..but remained at tagaluahan
to take good care of itay and inay
Mano cadong..settled in Dumaguete and later on became a moderator
In the negros conference
Esperanza ursos married elpedio puracan and settled at surigao sur
Rosita ursos became a teacher and married Cesar Penaso
Nothing to worry about amando..because he settled with Manong Marciano Ursos in taglikid…. The only problem now is about Benjamen ? where he is now?
Tracing the learnings of Benjamen with the things he have also learned from his father – the missionary work was the clue. He went as far as calatraba… until he settled as a family man with lola tonya at calatraba, negros occidental..
So Lolo Sergio came….. but like his father..( kalit ra ma in love – but its forever ) ; his eyes went to lola nena villaflor…
Lola Nena villaflor told us during the Ursos committee meeting last may 5, 2012… “
Every ursos there were listening …ligaya Daniel, zandro and his wife, kuya dodong, conneels and his husband, inday sague, marianito ursos and elsylle, roliver Amoren from tagum city, Jeaness Penaso from bohol, Nang Gloria galo and vesa both grandchildren of Lola persida, Joy Villapaz and Lilibeth Guzman ritardo both the grandchildren of manding tua, merlindo ursos from the family of Toring ursos…and me ( REY U LADERA)
“maayu nga tawo si Sergio Ursos “… said lola nena
“Minyuan teka “ said lolo Sergio
Lola nena was shocked…. Here comes a stranger saying he will marry her…
Lola nena was ecstatic…. She likes that ursos too!!!! He he he he..every ursos there were smiling
To make the story short….they were married
WHILE BENJAMEN URSOS WAS STILL IN CALATRABA
SERGIO AND AMANDO WERE WRITING W EACH OTHER
FINDING SOME OPTIONS HOW TO HELP THEIR BROTHER
BENJAMEN TO ESTABLISH HIS FAMILY...
CALATRABA HAVE NO MORE LANDS TO OCCUPY FOR BENJAMEN
SO... AMANDO PROPOSED TO OFFER A PART OF HIS LAND TO BENJAMEN.. THEN SERGIO WENT TO AGUSAN TO FIND LANDS FOR BENJAMEN..AND FOUNDED ONE..IN BAYUGAN 1....
DURING THOSE TIMES..ALL COUSINS OF THE URSOS FAMILY ARE HELPING WITH EACH OTHER...
The new opportunity at taglikid..when amando offered a share of land for benjamen prompted the family of benjamen ursos to come to taglikid.
My mother recalled how intimate they were with the children of Benjamen ursos because they live in one house since Lolo benjamen are still constructing their house immdediately after they came to agusan.
This explains how close the first generations of ursos… between the family of amando and benjamen during those times…
After that...the family went everywhere....
Nong Arsing with his family found their destiny at Dadiangas
new name is General Santos city
