March 11, I missed accompanying Inay to her visit to the doctor in Tayabas City. I had to leave that morning for Mindoro to speak at a gathering of the clergy in Calapan City.
I almost missed the 8 a.m. “last trip” of JAM bus line to Batangas. I was told that the remaining bus trips [...]
The waves were quite high between Calapan and Batangas, and the Supercat ride was a bit rough, but I hardly noticed. I had just come from the forum of the Saint Augustine Seminary “Alumni-in-Public Service,” and my mind was still stimulated by the encounter.

Seen from the upper deck of the Starlite Ro-Ro, the port of Calapan City is a slender strip of concrete against a lush green landscape. This is heightened by the two small equally green islands framing our boat’s approach.

It’s part of the preparations for the NRC II - the second [...]
Traveled to Mindoro this weekend to visit my mother in Naujan and join the September 10 celebration of our town fiesta.
I missed the 12:30 pm Supercat fastcraft , and had to take the slow boat that took all of three hours to navigate the sea from Batangas City to Calapan City.
At least I had time [...]
