the next destination barangay was located northside shoreline of cadiz city where many village people run quikly after they see us carrying relif goods, good thing there was a group leader who manage to make the people fall in line and well organise, about 200+ estimated familes was given a
1day pack meal and medicines...

last barangay we reached was also a shoreline the village people was kind enough to help us carry our relief goods and manage to fall in line so every family can have a packed 1 day meal, estimated 50 families was given packed meals and medicines, but our medicines was not enough to give all
familes who ask for flu medicines/cough /asthma/wounds their water supply is from a clean well near their village not to mention their houses made by hut was destroyed and devastated, but the place was
so relaxing has beautiful view and it was a shorline village also,

4:30pm all of us are already tired and exhuasted leaving cadiz city with a big smile in our hearts, we meet new people new friends along the way, and my friends cousin's family was too kind also to give us a lunch..

6:00pm we arrived at bacolod city ,Our driver was a fast driver when we are heading home ,we paid the rented bus 2,500pesos but the original price is 4,000 pesos good thing the owner has a big heart and let us have a discount.

7pm onwards we are chillin at the tattoo shop drinkin some ice cold beer laughing and let our stress be free but unexpectedly Frans-one of our comrade collapsed, we rushed him quikly at the nearest hospital becuase he is already uncoincious ,after we arrvived ,good thing after an hour the doctor told us he is fine, its a case of OVERFATIGUE and Stress.

Supposed to be our next travel/trip is on Nov.22 but bcoz of the unexpected circumstances of our friend BHOK's Death bcoz of Kidney Failure we canclled our trip and i made a decision to reschedule it to Nov.28 Thursday heading to Bantayan Island Cebu where 90% of houses was devastated and we recieve a message from a friend who already came there that electricity will be back January Next Year.
