Candelaria

Day 2: @ Candelaria, Barangay Pinagrealan a true PAG-ASA spirit challenge. All levels were challenged, but confronted with utmost grace as possible. Even through the mad rush to move out of Dawal Resort, the crowded beach at 6AM, right through John Funk argument #1 in defense of Nida; busting a Barangay cop for using a stick on a severly undernourished as-kal [stray street dog]; JF argument #2 in defense of allowing the poorest of the poor Barangay citizens be screened even just for Blood Pressure and Diabetes; the Bahay Kubo* accomodation fiasco for Maria… now, we are all camping together – Ednave-Defensor-Manalo Nipa Hut deluxe – a rare consequence of being sequestered out of the overbooked Candelaria Pistahan.. not a single vacancy!
