I met her accidentally.
One late afternoon, December 17, 2014, I was writing a haiga for a friend with a photo taken by Maxy Oconer MeƱez. After I posted the finished haiga in my Facebook album, Full Moon, I scanned the other pictures taken by Maxy. One of the pictures I liked was that of another Aklanon lady: Chescery Rose Belarmino.
Inspired by her
splendor, I immediately prepared a haiga for her and again posted it in my
Facebook album. When I informed Maxy that I already have posted the picture of
one of his subjects, he suggested that I should contact her, although my
posting of the pictures he has taken has no problem with him.
With that hint, I immediately sent her a private message through the Facebook and asked her if I could use one of her pictures for a haiga.
Here is the message I sent to her:
Mayad-ayad nga hapon. Ches. Pwede ko mabutangan it haiku ro isaea mo nga picture ag dayon hay ipost ko sa ang Facebook album nga Full Moon? Ara ro haiku:
harvest moon—
even Ruby's wind stops
to glance at her splendor
Abu gid nga saeamat.

(Good afternoon Ches. Can I write a haiku on one of your pictures? I will then post it in my Facebook album, Full Moon?
Here is the haiku:
Harvest moon—
even Ruby’s wind stops
to glance at her splendor
Thank you so much.)
I did not expect any reply from her.
But three hours after that, I received a reply from her: “ok sir. . Ty man sa pagpili kakon.” (ok sir…thanks also for choosing me)
With that permission, I immediately posted my haiga in my Facebook album. And she liked it.
Below is the haiga.
Not only that, she allowed me to use her other pictures for
my other haiga.
I got more interested in her, so I asked her if I could interview her. She agreed.
Before that, Chescery was born on October 13, 1990 in Batan, Aklan. Her parents are Chester A. Belarmino and Cindy R Belarmino.
Her siblings are Chester R. Belarmino, Jr. and Clea May R. Belarmino.

I am so lucky today! This is a joy of being a
poet. Today, I was able to "meet" an Aklanon who is not only a wind
stopper because of her splendor but also an ABS-CBN actress. She is one of the
actresses in Home Sweetie Home show. Her name: Chescery Rose Belarmino of Batan,
Aklan. I featured here in my Facebook album: Full Moon.
Melchor Cichon: You deserve it! Perhaps
later, I can write your short bio-profile so that more Aklanons will know more
about your accomplishments.
