The rainy season is upon us, thus our activities are somewhat dampened by it. We had intended to visit Bago National High School and begin work on painting the roofs with the paint donated by our sister club of Liwasang Bonifacio. We held off and will until the weather is such that we can drive up the hill.
Our guest speaker last Friday Aug 6th was Col. Tyne Banas Commanding Officer of the 47th Infantry Battalion, 3rd ID Calinog, Iloilo. Col Banas spoke to our club about what his job is about and what his Battalion does for the people of Panay. He pointed out that to us that not only is his Battalion actively searching out the NPA but of all the humanitarian projects his Battalion is involved with. As you might guess, after his speech there were quite a lot of questions, so many in fact we finally had to clo
se the questioning period or we would have been there all night long. Col Banas will be back this coming Friday to discuss partnering with him on some medical missions he has in mind. VP Raoul will lead this project.
Other matters brought up at the meeting were Dengue in and around our club house. Sec. Leah has taken the responsibility to have our trees and shrubbery cleaned up along with all the trash left by the high school students that use our club area during lunch time.
We were informed by VP Raoul that he will be leaving the Philippines for 9 months beginning Oct to work in Belgium doing research. We will miss him again for 9 months but he will return./JL
