Tuloy ang Pasko ng mga Bata postponed
LOOK AT how stupid that headline reads. Yes, but it speaks of the truth. The Filipino kids would never experience real Christmas so long as nobody truly cares about them.
Our trip to Kiangkos had just been potponed because the DepEd officials of the Division have not yet prepared their packages, while ours had already been packed last Saturday. And they did not even informed us about the change of schedule.

ON MONDAY until Wednesday, I will be scaling the heights of the mountains in my town for the post Christmas gift-giving dubbed as Tuloy and Pasko ng mga Bata.
I will go with the team composed of DepEd officials of Sarangani to distribute goods and to conduct?a fun day for the kids at Sitio Kiangkos, Brgy. Pag-Asa, Alabel, Sarangani Province.
The area is a mountainous place that is beyond the reach of vehicles. As I’ve heard, we have to walk about 5 hours on a steep trek to get to the place. So we actually set one day for the trip to the area and another one for the journey back home.

AKIN TO the popular white water rafting, adventure-seekers would surely find the white water tubing in New La Union Maitum, Sarangani equally enjoyable.

You can’t imagine the adrenaline rush you could get from riding an inflated tire interior tube, popularly named salbabida, on a rapidly-flowing river that is occasionaly studded with rocks and boulders.
