ReportThis is the 6th annual trip of Saint Mary's International School to the Philippines and its second visit to Zion Puerto Princesa. The international and domestic carrier of the team was Philippine Airlines. The trip was held in a total of eight days. The team had an overnight stay at Shalom Center in Manila. This hotel was just a block away from Robinson's Department store. In Puerto Princesa City, the team was accommodated at Balay Inato, The rooms were spacious, clean, and staffed with polite, kind, and courteous employees. In our first day of work at Barangay Bahile, an orientation was held to familiarize us with the policies, procedures, and daily work routines. We kept our belongings in a storage room at the worksite's office with the key entrusted to me. We worked on three lots with the inititial foundations of the supposed houses ready. We carried bricks, laid bricks for the walls, mixed cement, put gravel in bags, carried bags of gravel and sand, fabricated bricks, poured cement into the crevices of the laid bricks on the walls, filtered the big chunks of stones from the mixture of gravel and sand, and dig two septic reservoirs. We had our daily breakfast at Balay Inato and lunches and snacks in Purok Hall at the project site. The food served during lunch was excellent! We enjoyed eating fresh ripe mangoes, sweet pineapples, and ripe bananas for dessert. We went sightseeing at the Underground River and Nature's Park; swimming at Taraw Beach; island hopping, swimming, and snorkling at Honda Bay; and shopping at the local markets for souvenirs. We took part in the dedication of five houses to the new homeowners. We donated some school materials to the Day Care Center; distributed chocolates to the children and villagers; and donated some construction materials to the affiliate, We also had a Basketball Friendship Game with the local Youth Team. This trip was indeed a very rewarding experience!
