The 1st Batch75 Sipilyo Championship 2018

February 17, 2018. An angel sent by God (ayaw daw nya magpakilala) donated these Colgate brand items for the "1st Batch75 Sipilyo Championship 2018".

Rodney provided the prizes (Cloud 9) for the champion down to the kulelat.

But before the competitions, the children must eat first.

We started with the traditional washing of hand, as usual, lead by Clarita.

Don't be mistaken. This is not a gold panning activity. Wala pa kasing nakapag-donate ng sabon at towel kaya ganito ang nakikita nyo.

The children then waited quietly at their seats with Rodney and Jacinto at the back.

Cora was the photographer here. She took this picture with her favorite models - Clarita, Alex, Rodney and Mariet.

Half of the children were taken with half of me.

Before eating. . . a prayer. . .

"Dear God, patnubayan at gabayan nyo po ang mga donors at volunteers."

"Bigyan nyo po sila ng madaming blessings."

"Wag nyo po silang pababayaan. Amen."

The serving of food started. . .

"Wow! Amoy pa lang masarap na."

"Sinigang na Baboy ang ulam nila."

Hindi magkasya yung pagkain sa armchairs but they were good in balancing. Cora was serving to them some white mashmallow. First time lang daw nila makakita at makatikim ng white marshmallow kasi colored lang daw ang alam nilang marshmallow.

Cora: Bakit may umiiyak dyan?

Cora: Ay! Nasinit pala yung bata. Palamigin muna ang napudot nga sabaw.

Busog na.

Handa na sila sa "1st Batch75 Sipilyo Championship 2018". Rodney was giving to them their weapons of choice (actually, they have no choice).

Bata: Bakit po malaki ang para sa akin?
Rodney: Mukha lang malaki kasi maliit ka. Habang lumalaki ka, lumiliit ito.

Batang Babae: Gusto ko kulay pink.
Batang Lalake: Sa akin din pink.

Clarita: Ito ang gamitin mo para manalo ka sa championship.

Bata: Kakasiya po ba ito sa bunganga ko?

... and the "1st Batch 75 Sipilyo Championship 2018" started at 1:00 pm. Yehey! Sigawan! Palakpakan!

"Itupram tu met laeng dayta nga kasla moma. 

Nu Colgate, nalammiis. Nu moma, napudot."

 "Wala bang dumudugo na gilagid dyan?"

Bata sa Kanan: Hindi ko mabuksan. Talo na ako.

Clarita (tinuturo ang bata): Ito ang nangunguna sa bilang ko. 

"Teka, bakit wala akong naitupra? Nalunok ko ata?"

AWARDING CEREMONY:

Ha? Walang awarding? Nakain na pala nila yung Cloud 9. All winners na sila.

Part 3: SM Baguio with Jun Vallejo

After the Feeding Program and the extended Birthday Party of Clarita, we went to SM Shakey's to meet Jun Vallejo. The Shakey's flavor of the month, the "One Heart Pizza", served as a symbolic representation of our commitment for the noble cause.
 
Before leaving Shakey's, Jun Vallejo shared his blessing for the children by giving an amount to the Batch 75 Community Feeding Program c/o Mariet.

FINAL WORDS.

Today's activities added memorable experiences that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Having time with those children is something that every member of Batch 75 should experience. 

Please join us. Let's continue this noble cause. 

.Corazon in Spanish Means Heart

On February 1, 2018, Thursday, 12:00 High Noon, the day was warmed by the heart of Cora surprising Mariet with her commitment to be always present in the feeding program.

This morning, February 3, 2018, Saturday, dramatic event took place as some sacks of rice for the Feeding Program was on board a taxi with Mariet and Clarita. The transport of rice was secured by Rodney and Edmund (Batch 74) by serving as escorts with their mountain bikes to protect the taxi against heavy traffic and possible highjacking.
