ELENA SAMPAYAN GABOT VDA DE MADLAING:
One of oldest natives of Binalonan, Pangasinan
passes away in San Francisco, California at 103

BINALONAN/SAN FRANCISCO, California - One of the oldest Binalonians (native of Binalonan, Pangasinan), Elena Sampayan Gabot vda de Madlaing, died in her sleep in the Bay Area the other day. She was 103.
She was one of the daughters of the late Candido Asuncion Gabot whose roots were in Ilocos Norte and Cecilia Mabini Sampayan, known as Bai Sil-lit in Barangay Sto. Nino in Binalonan, who died at 113 years ago in Binalonan.
More than three years ago, Elena, Nanang Elen to many, celebrated her 100th birthday still strong and lucid in a farmlot inherited from her parents in Barangay Canarvacanan in Binalonan.
Elena's children, grandchildren, relatives, and friends attended the centennial celebration, some of them coming from California, Guam, Canada, Ifugao, Nueva Vizcaya and Metro Manila.
She even delighted her children and guests during the party by playing her favorite songs with her harmonica.
She also tried to join relatives do the dance of Ifugao, where her late husband, Emilio Madlaing, and a daughter of her late sister from Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya, Claudia Sampayan Gabot vda de Dimoloy, hailed.
Until her death, Elena still played her harmonica, talked and heared clearly, had good vision and would recognize people around her and those who visited her.
Although she barely had formal high education, she was industrious like her mother and was able to take care of her children through the years, many of them becoming professionals. They include Arturo G. Madlaing, columnist of Philippine News Today, a notary public and realtor in San Francisco who was a scholar at the University of the Philippines in Los Banos (UPLB); Magdalena M. Sison, a teacher; Josefina M. Lewis, a Methodist Bible College graduate; and Luzviminda Madlaing, a certified public accountant who used to work in a top accounting firm in Makati.
It was her son Arturo who petitioned her and husband Emilio to California. Eventually, she petitioned her children to the United States where they have been based for years now.
One of her recent memorable events in California was meeting Mayor Bob Sampayan of Vallejo, together with their other relatives at the City Hall of Vallejo. Mayor Bob’s father, the late Major Ruperto Sampayan, was a member of the First Filipino Regiment of the United States Army who served under the US flag during the war.
She was also delighted to have learned of the exploits of another relative, the famous Filipino writer and labor activist in America, Carlos Sampayan Bulosan, when she moved to California, through grandchildren and other relatives who studied in California and Washington where the works of Carlos Bulosan such as the autobiographical novel “America is in the Heart,” essay “Freedom from Want” and the poem “I Want the Wide American Earth,” among others.
Among the secrets of her long life were eating vegetables, work, work, work and long walks while in Binalonan and San Francisco.
