To take advantage of my official trip/business in Davao City, this blogger looked into meeting frat-brethren in the area, as membership to this fraternal organization has been part of my lifestyle. Of brethren I initially contacted, it was young brod, Eman Evangelio who expressed brotherly zealousness of having brief bonding moments while in the city.
Earlier in the PMCP conference, I spotted a few brods like Bro. Reyson Raymundo, Sis. Myleen R. Corpuz (ISU), Bro. Toto and Sis. Beth Paner (UPLB), and a long-time brod/colleague from UPLB Bro. Boni Cayabyab (who insisted me to join him at his room at Grand Regal Hotel, gratis et. al). (I stayed for my first 2 nights in Davao at DA-BAI Guesthouse in Wireless, Davao, being on a budget trip ;-D)
Thus, on my last night in Davao, we, GE group decided to dine in the famous seafood resto called Luz Kinilaw, where I met some 7 brethren. Others took dinner somewhere as they got invitation from professional colleagues in the area. After dining, the group led by host brethren took us to a place called Victoriano's where a live band played with singers, a really perfect venue to relax while bonding together. As most of us were already connected online, we talked nothing but the frat issues in the GE sites. The Oct. 22 - 24, 2010 3rd GE NatCon was also talked about, as the venue is close to Davao, and many brethren may be able to attend. Bro. Omie Sandrejas of UP Mindanao joined the night, but leave ahead of us because of his work the following day. Bro, thanks for sharing your blessings to our group, it was greatly appreciated.
Unexpectedly, a man who introduced himself as "Falcon" member approached us, after hearing a song dedicated to the Gamma Epsilon Fraternity. (Customers at V-Place were free to dedicate or make announcement through the leader of the band). After some exchanges of pleasantries, it was learned that the man (sorry, no one got his name) is a municipal councilor of Baruella, Compostella Valley, and an alumnus of Univ. of Mindanao (Davao City).
In Davao, curfew (among establishments) is until 2 AM. . . and my gosh, I was the last one to leave the place. (I kept on waiting for Bro. Boni, my roomate, to follow, only to know that he was already fast asleep, lol.) Regardless, it was another memorable night in the life of Gamma Epsilon @ Davao. Pax et bonum! (Bro. Josh Blogs)
