If you have lived in this complex yet beautiful world long enough, you could sense sincerity (and bulls**t) in an instant. Cebu City Councilor Jaypee Labella welcomed us not just with open arms but with an open heart! Now we have more hope! With me were the backbones of Battle Against Ignorance Foundation and Safehaven Recovery Village.

Together with former streetdwellers Berta, Mr. Coke, Nognog and their beautiful “muse” Nancy Jean Gacho were Ms. Minnie Lagria , Recovery coach Bop Buenaventura and Safehaven GM Emmanuel Llenos. Thank you for the very warm welcome Sir Jaypee. We look forward our collaboration to help the lonely, broken, wounded and hurting.
