Philippines: On The Road Again!

After a day's rest in Manila, we are on the road again. This time we are headed north for a few days. Our first stop today was a distribution in Malhacan about 50 km north of Manila. After lunch we drove for about another hour doing a distribution at Mabalacat. The van was packed as we are away for a few days. Pat found a spot at the back and arranged the luggage into a chaise lounge and was gone before we hardly turned the first corner.



Hat's off to our great support team.

Our driver, Lando, guides us through the countryside and Manila with unbelievable driving skills. He slides through seemingly hopeless traffic jams with ease. He goes above the call of duty to help us load and unload. Our day usually starts at 8:00 but he is at the hotel waiting by 7:00 AM. After he drops us off he then has to drive back home. He also has been with us every day including our days off to shuffle us around.



Our OVP support person Jess is always there in many ways. Today he met us at the hotel with cheese filled rice doughnuts for breakfast. He also brought some honey and peanut butter. I could go on for a long time of all the things he does for us but the one we get the most laughs is his saying "We are halfway there as we pull into our destination".
