Adopt a School part 1


Davao City - Onboard a PAL flight, I touched down in Davao City earlier today amid the heavy downpour from the dark heavy clouds. Vic Enojo, our Mindanao Solutions Engineer, picked me up at the airport to take me to one of the best hotels in the city. But due to the very heavy rain, traffic was so bad due to flooding in a number of main roads. The drive from the airport to the hotel, which usually just took 15 minutes, stretched to more than an hour.

As grumpy as we were inside the car, I couldn't help but notice the joy of children playing and swimming in the flood, with pure bliss painted on their innocent faces, unmindful of the danger of catching diseases in the dark flood waters.

We eventually reached the hotel to meet up with Jonnie Regis, the country General Manager, and Percival Bualat, VisMin Operation Manager. Earlier in the week, both went to Cebu and Cagayan de Oro to see how the branches were doing. After a nice dinner at Jack's Ridge, we called it a night. We have to leave early for Agusan Del Sur tomorrow.
