Manila Ocean Park

My sister Maricel and brother Maxwell accompanied us on this amazing trip to ocean park located in Manila. I'm glad we brought Enna-Marie here as she hasn't really seen yet a lot of creatures from the water, except in books or fish tanks in the mall or in friends' homes. Will surely bring EM again here the next time we visit Manila. Enjoy the photos of this fantastic trip!

Few more pics of Kidapawan & Davao...

We visited our friends, the Eugenio family in Davao City and stayed there for one night before our trip back to Manila (my mom kindly accepted to accompany us in this two hour trip from Kidapawan; she went back that same evening to Kidapawan after bringing us to Davao airport). This family also served at the World Centre and left eight years ago.

Swimming at Agco & LeRive

While in Kidapawan our family went to two swimming places, one we call Agco and the other one LeRive. Here are the ones taken in Agco:
