Maraming salamat Noemi sa mga pagbabalita mo tungkol sa mga kaganapan dito sa Sydney! Mabuhay din ang APCO, ang bagong tatag ngunit pinaka-aktibong pederasyon ng mga samahang pangkomunidad sa pagwawagayway ng mga mabubuting ginagawa ng mga Filipino sa labas-bansakatulad ng Australaya. Ganoon din kay pareng Eddie at ang napakalawak niyang on-line na peryodiko: Ang Munting Nayon.

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.
