Last December 30, 2020, our holy novices headed by Fr. Philip Lazatin and Fr. Jomar Bacucang paid a short visit to Don Bosco Balamban. Once they arrived at 8:30 am, they had mass with Lauds and then after mass, they shared with us their “binalot” (rice with toppings of meat and vegetables wrapped in banana leaves – Mynamar style). It was so delicious – missed it too.
Before they left they shared with us some blessings from their selling of “atsara” or pickled papaya during the simbang gabi in Lawaan.
Thank you and till next year another visit to a Don Bosco in the periphery – we appreciate so much the visit.
May God bless all the friends, benefactors and students of Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban with His Choicest Blessings.
God is good, all the time.
