From GSC (with Love)

Hello! I know it’s been a while again. We just got back from a 3-day stay at Gen. Santos City yesterday. It was a not a pleasure trip (though we managed to squeeze in some malling time when our work for the day was through. A friend was even visited by one of her long time friends. From what I gathered, he’s offering her an extended service plan. Yeah, I am that nosey! Haha!).
Anyway, we went there for a consultation with some chief LGU executives and key players from the the neighboring provinces. To be included in the team of 11 facilitators and documenters is an honor! I initially thought that documenting would be a difficult job because I find it hard to keep track of what people say and put them on paper. Thank God for laptops, I did well. And not to mention our group was composed of only 4 police officers and 1 LGU official. Like what I’ve been saying, my work as a documenter was a breeze because the police officers were men of few words. Haha! My group’s facilitator was one of my former college professors and it was great working with him. And modestly aside, among the series of consultations, this one that we facilitated and documented is the best! (That’s according to the organizers!)
All in all, it was new and refreshing experience. It was a nice time too, to meet new and old acquaintances. The team was ecstatic that we did so well. We’re all hoping that it would not be the first and the last time that we work together. I feel happy and fulfilled too, to be working for something grand as this one. We are all hopeful that we have somehow contributed to the achievement of elusive peace in Mindanao.
