Nagpabook. Umasa. Di Pinasakay. Number 1 daw, pero Chance lang pala. We arrived in Toledo City around 4 in the morning. As the car made its way to the pier entrance, we were stopped by a man, around 50-ish, wearing a white shirt. “Sir, Ma’am, Di na raba makasulod. Puno na ang barko”. We tried…

Dear Dalaguete
