Remembering Aklatang Pambata: May 27, 2006

Chris took this picture while I was telling a story of 2 dogs named "Tiktaktok at Pikpakbum" with the Kids of Barangay Paltok, San Francisco Del Monte, Quezon City. The place is Aklatang Pambata or formally known as Nicanor Abiad Community Library.

We had a fun filled Saturday with some friend volunteers from Trend Micro, Eduk Inc. and RockEd Philippines.

Remembering Kapangan: July 29, 2006 - Municipality of Kapangan, Benguet.

This letter was given to me by Michael, one of the kids from Kapangan, Benguet last 7/29/2006 during our outreach program with Rocked Philippines . I was touched by the simple yet meaningful words by the kid. It translates :

Dear Kuya Ron,

Thank you for coming here to our place. Even though we were only together for a short period of time we learned something. That's all. Thank you so much Rocked Philippines.

By Michael

The family went out for a lunch in Fortune Restaurant, a Chinese Restaurant located at Olongapo Gapan Road, City of San Fernando, Pampanga.

When we arrived at the place was already busy with different groups of people busy with their lunch. We even saw Fr. Ronnie Cao, a priest friend enjoying lunch with his parishioners.

Though the restaurant serves mostly Chinese Food, one can always associate Kapampangan with good food and being voracious eaters. So what did we have for lunch:

• Yangchao Fried Rice
• Mixed Seafood Noodle with Vegetable
• Beef with Broccolli
• Fried Crab [Salt & Pepper Style]
• Steamed Fish Fillet with Garlic
• Chicken Fillet with Lemon
• Mixed Seafood Soup

I'll give the restaurant a B+ rating. Yum. Bon Appetit!
