Sunday p.m. at UoI on the Phils.

We were at UoI Belin Honors Center yesterday, did an educational talk on the Phils. with the Havran family & T. Norbe, who did the Tinikling instruction to the young college kids. The Bayanihan Dance Co. is performing in October, hence the interest.

Had to read up (!); presented the Phils, its people and culture in light of its history; brought interesting items representing the Phils.; related facts about the Phils. which they have read/heard about in the news. Interesting, some of them did not appear to be familiar with the Marcoses nor Mt. Pinatubo's massive eruption (they were not yet born at that time, and were just babies in 1991). I also spoke briefly about the Bayanihan Dance Company. I actually enjoyed speaking to the small group of students.

The Tinikling instruction was fun. Kevin, Celia and Matthew, a dancing family, were quite gracious to share their talent and enthusiasm. Issa dropped in from time to time as she was working at the front desk. Good job to have, she can study while manning the desk. Good to see our Issa again.
