From St. Augustine Parish, Bay, Laguna to St. Martin de Porres Parish, Adelina I, San Pedro, Laguna, Philippines in particular. Rev. Fr. John F. Tabot replace me in St. Augustine Parish and I succeeded Rev. Fr. Elden Cabuhat. I thank all my previous parishioners who supported me and guided me through the six years of my stay as their Parish priest in St. Augustine.
