Hi Shirley – Thank you very much for your nice comment. I do know my way around the Davao region pretty well, and also GenSan too! I lived there for 2 years. In my last few trips to GenSan, though, I am starting to realize that I am beginning to forget my way around there a little bit, due to not going there enough!

Thank you again, Shirley!

Hi, Bob!
I miss Davao so much and I envy you and Feyma. You know the land better than I do. I grew up in General Santos City and graduated in Davao City. I had been to the Philippines for a short vacation only once. I hope to be able to go back next year for our school reunion in Davao.
Your travelogues make me home sick. I remember the fruit stands in Mindanao. Yes, Mindanao is truly a land of promise. Nothing beats the fruits grown in lush Mindanao.

Hi R L Graham – Well, thank you very much. I am a little embarrassed, because in the video I did not really speak anything but just very simple bisaya words. I can talk a lot more complex sentences than that, but was not thinking along those terms! Maybe next time! Thank you, though.

Hello Bob!

As enjoyable as it was to read the story and watch the video, those were merely the basic elements in comparison. The crust and the filling of the pie, if you will. The whip cream was hearing you speak Bisayan. . . and in a natural setting.

Listening made me able to imagine being just around the corner and able to overhear your Bisayan conversation with the older gentleman that you mentioned in one of your other posts.

You inspire me.

On a different note, the subtleties of the way you approach your topics is artistic. Perhaps that it is just your way but it is compelling nonetheless.

Salamat!
R L Graham
