Daghang Salamat Pagadian!

Nov. 22 – 28, 2010: They say Pagadian is the Little Hong Kong of the South, for me, it’s a place which smells of watermelon, grass and the sea. I was greeted with rain when I arrived on the 22nd – Monday and my memories of Pagadian revolved around circling the city on board Sir Danny and Nat’s motorcycle, of course with Fred and Hicut’s motorcycles as well, with the beautiful volunteers of Pagadian City chapter, it really made me wonder, there seems to be a lot of beautiful girls in this city. :-)

And there’s also the weird tricycle, where its sidecar is tilted for about 30-45 degrees, it’s a bit hard to board it, but they say, that’s how they cope with the slopes of the city – it reminds me of Benguet actually. I had the chance to roam around the city on Friday, after a few days of helping Danny during the training, and with Nat’s help, we circled 3 municipalities of Zamboanga Sur, and then on Sunday, had a feastful breakfast at Kumalarang – another municipality.

Thanks to everyone – the participants who were able to bear with me despite the language differences, the staffs of PRC Pagadian, the beautiful and handsome volunteers of PRC, and the rest of the madlang tao who have given their kindness in any form. Daghang Salamat, hope to see you again!
