Being in the academe has its perks.
In culmination of two months of mountains of paper works, I get to be on the road with the hardworking TESDA lot for two days. For the program that LST handled, the finishers were given tool kits to start their business with as Computer Repair technicians.
Of the four places that we have been to, it was my first time to visit Pulupandan. Our contingent arrived an hour earlier than our counterparts. The SWD focal that welcomed us is also the Tourism Officer that the time spent waiting was filled in by an information-rich conversation on Dolphin and Bird watching (which I will definitely check in the very near future, weather and company permitting).
I'm not overly fond of meeting government executives but last Thursday was an exception. We were having lunch (onstage) and I was so into my crab with two hands when the Mayor arrived and started to give everyone around the table a handshake. Tsk! That was embarrassing. When it was my turn, I only managed a tentative handshake, which was not a good impression at all. It didn't help that the young mayor was not only eloquent but good looking as well.
This is not to say that the other LGUs did not give us the same treatment. Anybody who knows me would know why Pulupandan stood out. Hahahaha!
