that perseverance can melt any kind of hindrance~

"Kung ayaw may dahilan. Kung gusto naman, maraming paraan" ~ Antukin, Rico Blanco

That was what I realized after spending a night with my seminarian friends at the Multi Purpose Health Center (MPHC) of Smokey Mountain 2. In the morning, we were asked what we want to do, either to stay at home because of the bad weather condition or continue going to Smokey Mountain and spend the day. We decided to go.

Though we had difficulty riding jeepneys, got our feet soaked in the dirty flood, struggled with our weak umbrellas easily tattered by the strong and finally, being in a confusion of weather to stay overnight or not, we still went on. Sharing ilfe experiences with poor people under a worst condition was far better than staying in the comfort of one's home worrying about them. In that night, I was able to hear life stories of the youth of Smokey Mountain. I want to take more action so as to prevent another youth to be given less a chance to experience life as a youth in its fullness.
