I found a photo album in the debris by the side of the river and decided to try and find the owner - or the family of the owner - as I am sure it would be wonderful for them to have this returned. As you can see from the few images that I have scanned in here, for a document that has been swept out of someones destroyed home by the largest flood the city of Cagayan De Oro has ever known, many of the images are in very good condition!

If you are veiwing this after being contacted by me or a friend in Facebook, please let me know if you think you know who this album belongs to. The graduation images are from Mount Carmel School in 1996/7 and many of her classmates names are listed. From the time of graduation, the names I have found are Ramon Legaspi, Mercidether Simene, Charyl Valmoreda and Stewart Rosabal.

There are also images from Mangima pool with Rural Bank Company Mangima Bukidnon. There are many other images, all in surprisingly good condition, but no indication of when, where or who. Can you please tell me if you can assist me identifying the girl who I am sure owns this album?

Many thanks,

Peter

UPDATE!

This is an update of how far I have got in my search.

The person who owns this album is LEAH FLORES and her notes inside the photo album refer to Grade VI Graduation Batch 1992 to 1997.

After 5 months, I have found a name of the person I wish to find so that I can return them their property :-) This was told to be by Myra Salcedo but she does not know where Leah is. Can ANYONE reading this please let me know if they know how to find/locate this person or their family. The album was found by the river in Tibasak CDO so the home must have been upstream of this point.

Hopefully it will move from mission impossible to mission accomplished! :-) Many thanks :-)

FINAL UPDATE!

OWNER FOUND! Only took 18 months! WOOHOO! Her name is now Elealeh Vicente and she was most grateful to get all her pictures back :-)

Case closed :-)
