Headed by Sir Dominiek Segaert, KCR Knights of Rizal Diamond Chapter, and assisted by board members Leah Gallego, Ria Blondeel, Hedwige Lietaer, Nicole Goffin, the group organised in the morning a bicycle tour of 18 km ending at 12 noon for a sumptuous Asian barbecue with more than 250 participants, showing a movie about the streetchildren- and educational project in and around Davao and Padada (Balay Pasilungan and Saint Michael's School and Fr. Francos Boys & Girlstown Budha) by Rosane & Medard Beernaert-Claerbout and ending with superb dance performances by Silayan led by Alpha Galecio and a successful tombola with Filipino articrafts.

It was Sir Roy B. Ecraela, 1st Secretary & Consul of Philippine Embassy Brussels who gave an inspirational thank speech in which he referred to the message of her Excellency Ambassador Cristina Ortega who mentioned "Friendship for the Philippines has touched the lives of many individuals in Mindanao and made a difference in some poor communities enabling them to face the future through education-related projects the last 5 years." The group invested during its existence almost 2 million pesos.

It was Yuletide season, a good time for another family reunion in the Philippines. We celebrated Christmas Eve at my brother Danny and his wife Cindy’s house. Cindy’s sisters Annie and Bettina hosted Christmas lunch. Our holiday meals were both delightful and generous. It was time for some physical vacation activities. Our destination – Coron in the province of Palawan.

Coron is remote. We took three modes of transportation to get there - by air, land and sea. Our big family tour group flew from Manila to Busuanga Island just north of the island of Palawan, then rode two vans through hills and dirt roads, before taking two motor boats to reach our secluded vacation hideaway by the beach. The skillful boatmen waded and pushed the two small crafts as we passed through shallow waters between mangroves.

I've painted several bahay kubos before but never one big enough to hang in our living room. To revive my art that has been dormant since time immemorial, I decided to make one for myself, riding on the momentum created by some demo paintings I was volunteered to do for my son's class in school. Bahay kubos are the easiest to paint and so this should be a breeze. So, I thought.

A year after priming the canvas and sketching some initial elements, my bahay kubos remained in dreamland. It's true some unfortunate, energy-zapping turns of events were partly responsible for the delay, but, I think the main cause was trying to work purely from imagination without any definite plan. It's much harder to finish something when one doesn't know how it looks like when it is finished.
