  • I prepared this montage as a tribute to my Grandma Mary's house, which was built in the 1930's and will be taken apart over the next few weeks due to age and flood damage.
    I offer this as a tribute to this remarkable woman, and to the Salao-Santos family as well, with whom I share so many precious memories in this house.

    Thank you for, documenting your Lola Mary's house. I perfectly remember the house. I grew up in Malabon and I know your Tita Chona and Dandy. Nelson, your uncle, or your father? is a good friend and textmate. Yes, it is sad to see the house go. But as you said the memories will always be there. Yes it is sad to see the house go. But as you said the memories will always be there. Your Lola Mary was a beautiful and gracious lady who loved to dance.

    This was the most touching Memorial I have ever seen..it paints a picture of how good and loving your Grandmother Mary was, you could tell that she was a religious person and that it was important to her that others noticed that..her home was very Beautiful!!! And I so appreciate you sharing your memories with us..that made it even more special. Thank you again for the journey of your Grandmother Marys home...God Bless you.

    Kind of too late for me to comment. I just came across this video by accident. Never been so moved. I can relate to what you said. Definitely politics, economics and time will bring down a house. This house would have been perfect at the Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan (pre-WWII homes). My family's old homes suffered the same fate especially when Pinatubo erupted and we now only have pictures and memories of the past. No matter what kind of home, it's the family spirit that's never torn.

    From the look of the things inside this beautiful home, your grandma was the type that liked what she liked, and could care less about having everything pulled together as by a interior designer. I am very much like that myself. She had a lot of eclectic pieces that were simply beautiful. I hope the family managed to get all of these items out of the home before having to leave it completely.You have put together one of the most beautiful dedication memorial videos I have ever seen. Your love comes through the screen to affect every viewer. You are a very caring and special person. Thank you for sharing this beauty and your own with us.

    One of my favorite videos on all of You Tube! Seeing the water toward the end made me really sad. You are so blessed to have had her in your life and to have these beautiful memories to treasure for always. Like some of the other commenters, I, too, hope you were able to save some mementos of this house and this remarkable woman. So sorry for what the area has had to go through. Once a place has mold like that, though, there's nothing to do but dismantle it. I love your grandma's taste! So eclectic yet followed a theme - which, I assume, was just her preference in things. God bless you and your memories of her!

Best to your family & thank you for sharing.
