After leaving the morning session of the Rotary Community Corps & Membership Development Seminar on the morning of October 19, 2007, I skipped lunch and proceeded to the Pelaez Sports Center to watch the opening ceremonies parade of amateur athletes of the Mindanao Olympics. It did not appear to me that the Mindanaod Olympics really [...]
I wrote about another U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, Boots Thomas, in a previous post, who was from my hometown in Northern Florida. The past few years before moving to The Philippines, since Hurricane Andrew hit South Florida, in 1992, I have lived mostly in Broward County, in Hollywood, Florida. Miami is just South [...]
I wrote about how Cagayan de Oro Mayor Tinnex Jaraula was clearing out the street vendors, but they’re back. Just before passing this scene I passed five uniformed PNP officers.

After driving the smooth and well-laid asphalt road from Oroquieta to Sampang Dalaga, we turned off onto the road to Conception. The Village of Conception was a forgotten place and only taken under Provencial and National attention about 50 years ago. Teresa tells me the village is about 80% tribal, even though they wear western [...]
