The Magic of Apo Mayor
By Grace D. Chong
Every boy and girl in the whole town of Umingan was afraid of Apo Mayor. He was so big
he looked like a giant. And he had a giant’s voice to match: “HOLA!” “LARGA!” “CARAMBA!” He
always wore really clean white clothes. His hat and hair were white . His hat and hair were
white, and even his tsinelas.

He was not really the town mayor. Not anymore after the World War II. But everyone
called him Apo Mayor. Even Mayor Belisario, the present mayor called him Apo Mayor. Very
early in life, every child in town had been introduced to this man in white.
“Alla, if you don’t finish your food, Apo Mayor will come and get you,” the yayas would
say. “Alla, if you don’t do your homework, Apo Mayor will get mad,” the mothers would say.
“Alla, if you don’t do this, if you don’t do that , Apo Mayor will. . .” and so forth and so on.
The children often wondered if Apo Mayor ever smiled. His white mustache and long
white beard covered his mouth. But the adults said that they could tell if he was peased. He
said, “ESWES!” But the children never heard him say “ESWES.” So they all hid from Apo Mayor.
Except Teo. Although he was also afraid of Apo Mayor, he liked the old man. He liked
him because he actually heard him say”ESWES!” many times. Once when Teo picked up all the
dirty plastic cups and papers scattered on the sidewalk and put them in the trashcan. He didn’t
notice Apo Mayor was around till he heard his big, booming, “ESWES!”
Another time,Teo helped an old woman cross the street. Out of the blue, Apo Mayor
appeared and said, “ESWES!”
 And still another time, as Teo shooed away a herd of stray goats eating the kamantigi
flowers at the plaza, Apo Mayor appeared from nowhere and said, “ESWES!”
Plus there were few more times. . . when he returned the spider to the plants, kissed the
hands of his Tatay Ador, he made a birthday card to his lola, he gave food to his dog, he put
coins in his coin bank, washed the plates, watered the plants, brushed his teeth and said his
prayer.
But Teo kept all of these to himself. He wouldn’t tell anyone because the first time it
happened and he told his friends about it, they laughed before he could go on with his story.
“Ha, ha, ha, why will Apo Mayor bother with a kid like you?”
“Hi, hi, hi, Apo Mayor only says “ESWES” about important things.”
True, lots of adults heard Apo Mayor say “ESWES” when the dirt road going to Umingan
was cemented. Or when the Health Center started receiving patients. Or when the Puraw nga
Balay (white house), the museum showing the history of the town, opened its doors to the public.
Everyday Apo Mayor walked around town. He seemed to be everywhere. And like
magic, this were done faster and better when he was around.
“Let’s finish this, Apo Mayor is coming!”
“Clean up the mess, quick, Apo Mayor is headed this way!”
And on events when he was expected to attend, everyone came on time because Apo
Mayor was never late.
One Sunday, while Teo and his father were getting dressed for church, Teo asked,
“Tatay, how old is Apo Mayor?”
“Nobody knows how old he is, anak. Maybe 100, or more. He’s been here longer than
everybody else.”
“Does he hate children?” Teo had to know.
“He likes good children.” His father replied as he helped Teo comb his unruly hair. “Does
he like me??” Teo persisted.
“Are you good?” His father winked at him and led him out the door. “Let’s go!”
The next day, Teo’s Third Grade section went on a field trip to the Puraw nga Balay.
The’ve all been looking forward to seeing the relics that told the history of their town. “Stay in
line. Behave. Do not touch anything. Everything inside this museum is a treasure and
priceless,” Teacher Ligaya said over and over again before the children went inside.
“Aahhh!” they chorused when they saw the photos of old houses and municipal hall
before they were bombed during the war. “Uuuhhh!” they swooned at the antique rayadillo
uniforms, guns, and bolos.
“Ohhh!” they gushed at the beautiful Maria Clara costumes and jewelry. They could
hardly contain their excitement.
Finally they reached a special room where a big, black jar was on a pedestal.
“This old jar rebuilt our town,” Teacher Ligaya said proudly. “When it was dug up from
the ground, it was filled with gold coins!”
“Eeehhh!!!” they shrieked as they surged forward to take a closer look. The boys raced
to the front. The girls were squashed in between them.
“Awkk!” Teo was pushed towards the jar and suddenly, he lost his balance. He fell right
smack on the pedestal. The jar moved and wiggled.
“AAyyy…ayyy!” everybody screamed. And then, CRRRRAASSH!
Out of nowhere, Apo Mayor’s voice filled the room.
“CARAMBA!”
Startled and afraid, all the children ran out of the room. Teacher Ligaya ran after them.
“Hey, children come back!”
But only Teo went back, slowly, into the room. He stood erect and looked up to Apo
Mayor. His heart was beating really fast but he had to be brave.
“Apo Mayor,” he said in a clear voice. “I am very, very sorry for what happened. It was my
fault. Please . . .will you forgive me. . .?” Teo knew Apo Mayor would yell at him in his scary,
angry voice. But the big old man did no such thing.
“Do you have a name?” Apo Mayor asked in his normal voice.
“Ador Mateo Dacanay, Jr., Apo Mayor.”
“Tell Ador Mateo Dacanay, Sr., your father, to be at the Mayor’s office at 9 o’clock
tomorrow morning. Go!” Teo ran out of the room as fast as he could and went home to tell his
father what had happened.
Before 9 o’clock the next day, Mayor Belisario’s office was filled with all the officials and
important people of the town. White balloons were everywhere. At 9 o’clock sharp, Mayor
Belisario stood up and said, “Good morning, everyone. We’re glad that our town officials and
important citizens are here with us today. We are gathered here again for our Values Award.
Every so often, we recognize and reward a citizen who promotes good values.” Teo stood in
tiptoe and looked around. “Where is Apo Mayor? Why did he want my tatay here ?” ho
wondered.
Mayor Belisarios’s voice became louder and he announced, “Today we are honouring Mr.
Ador Mateo Dacanay, Sr.!” Immediately, everyone stood up. Applause. Cheers. Mabuhay!
Why, that’s my tatay! Teo tried to run towards the front but couldn’t get through the
 excited crowd. “Tatay!” His voice was drowned by the cheers. The clapping was so loud he
thought he’d go deaf. In front, Mayor Belisario continued, “Mr. Dacanay’s son, Teo, has
consistently shown excellent behaviour on many occasions. Proof that Mr. Dacanay Sr., a full-
time farmer and a single parent, has been teaching his son good values. Values are what we
treasure most in this town. We believe that more then any material treasure, values are far more
important. We should love God’s creation. We should respect our elders and our neighbors’
property. We should observe cleanliness. We should do what is right. We should tell the truth.”
“Mabuhay!” the men shouted again and again. Teo was surprised why all the women
were wiping their eyes with their handkerchiefs. Sniffle, sniffle, sniffle.
Then Mayor Belisario said in closing:
“I want to thank a special person who started this Values Award long, long ago – before
you and I were born. He wants to remain anonymous so I will not say his name. But as tribute to
him, we always make sure that all his many projects in this town are in white – puraw.”
It was so noisy Teo covered his ears with his hands. But like magic, in his mind, he heard
a big, booming voice, “ESWES!”
