As we are right in the middle of the busy holiday season, we first and foremost want to wish you a safe and wonderful holiday. The holidays are a time when people reflect with gratitude on all they have and joyfully give to those who are in need, nearby or far away. And as we celebrate, we seek your sponsorship for the SARIAYA.net Holiday Donation Program, an annual fundraising event of Sariaya Online Community Website (www.sariaya.net) by offering an unwrapped holiday gift for a needy family. This allows them to sit down on the holidays and have a nice meal together without having to make a hard decision between buying foods for the meal or spending the money on something like bills or medicine. The SARIAYA.net webteam hosts this event, and the organizing committee is comprised of Sariayahin from various organizations.

As SARIAYA.net enjoys its 3rd year of fundraising, your financial support would be immensely appreciated to ensure continued consciousness of the needs in the underprivileged community. Honoring our mission and tradition, one hundred percent (100%) of all donations was awarded directly to locals. SARIAYA.net Holiday Donation Program success each year is made possible through generous sponsorship and donations. This year’s fundraising benefit will be held on Sunday, December 30th, 2007, at Brgy. Pantoc. Also, this year the event will also coincide with the SCBC Castañas Give-A-Gift Christmas Party.

Please join in contributing to this exceptionally worthy cause. We appreciate any donation your organization can provide towards this year’s benefit. We greatly appreciate your interest and consideration to be a part of SARIAYA.net 3rd Annual Holiday Donation Program.

Sariaya Church

The town of Sariaya had its simple beginning almost four hundred years ago in a place near the sea, what is now called the Barangay of Castañas. The first inhabitants of the place where the hardy and brown fishermen and who upon the arrival of the Franciscan Friars were the first converts. With the help of the early inhabitants, who are mostly fishermen, the Franciscan Missionaries were able to build a church, entrusted under the patronage of St. Francis of Assisi. Because the fishing village was often attacked by the Moros, the people moved northward of Castañas and settled in this place. About three kilometres from this second site, the people once again settled in another place which at present bear the name known as Barangay Tumbaga,also known as Lumang Bayan. A church and convent were erected at Tumbaga as a proof of their religious interest and filial regard to their spiritual mentors, the Franciscan friars.
