My Grandfather Samuel Dumaran worked at Sugar Central before the Second World War.My Father Abner Dumaran, was born in Sagasa, Bago City in 1937. After the War theymoved to Bago City Proper, and He went to Manila in the 1950's and got married to Julia Paitone, who was his playmates during the War while both of their parents worked in the Sugar Mill. I was born in 1960 in Manila, and in 2006 after 46 years, I visited the hometown of my father and met my relatives in Sagasa, and attended the San Isidro Festival at the Philippine Independent Church.

  • The Ma-ao Sugar Central had its Sugar Refinery into full operation sometime in middle fifties. I can remember it well because it coincided with the operation of the jute factory, to which I spplied for a job (mostly women were employed as factory workers) but was not accepted because, aside from being too young (only 16, still a minor) as the company recruited only women aged 18 and above years of age. The recruitment head, being the vice president of the sugar company, was very careful in choosing the factory plant's workers. Why I wrote was because of the old p[hotos posted by a certain Rob Dickinson. I wanted to share copies of those photos he posted of the Ma-ao Sugar Central locomotives, sometime in 1982. Perhaps he can make those photos available for personal & posterity ourposes. Thank you Mr. Rob Robinson..By the way, your name can be found just anywhere. Thanks and regards.
  • Ma-ao Sugar Central have never been a sugar refinery; it only produced raw sugar until it closed operation recently(?).
  • The area covered by this polygon seems to be extra-ordinarily big for a sugarcane factory; the other indicated location (about 5 km away towards the west) could be more correct.
