Day 83: Tanghaliang Pinoy


The Filipino students and staff of Angelicum University decided to have lunch together yesterday. It lasted two hours and very typical of Filipinos at meal. There are few things which make such a gathering worth keeping:
1.    It enhances camaraderie among us.
2.    Telling jokes and stories or even the simple exchanges of ‘how are you,’ is never difficult with the use of our native language.
3.    Sharing of personal information and experiences, ideas and point of views, faith and religious vocation story create an atmosphere of a strong support system.
4.    Food is homemade and suits our taste buds. 

My gratitude to Fr Julius Cuison, Edu and Mary, Sr Lilian, OP, Sr Christine, SPC and Fr William, OFMCap. Next week we will be received by the chaplain of Sentro Pilipino Chaplaincy (Rome).
