La Libertad Outreach
June 1, 2012
There was a bit of a drizzle that Friday morning in
Dumaguete, and however wet and inconvenient I was carrying the damp boxes of
school supply goodies, prepped food and dozens of shirts in an 80s inspired
local government bus, I definitely considered myself lucky enough to have been
part of a team that had a good purpose in mind.
 |
| Our retro transpo |
It was part of a side trip that the PSC (Philippine Sports
Commission) had orchestrated during the 2012 Philippine National Games held in
Dumaguete, Negros Oriental. The group was to do an outreach and sports clinic program
to a town devastated by two near 7 magnitude earthquakes late morning and
afternoon on February 6 of the same year.

La Libertad was a three hour drive north of Dumaguete, and
judging by the cushion-less seats the bus humbly offered, this was not a smooth
sailing out to the countryside.
Once we reached La Libertad and went further rural, we
immediately saw the tent community surrounding a basketball court and a small
Baranggay stage. The volunteers--17 of us including the driver geared up as if
to say Merry Christmas to the kids albeit imagined, and as we approached the
area, the townsfolk sensed the same; children were looking at our old clunky
transport and as soon as they put one and one together, they emanate a big smile together with a light bulb moment, waving and running after us, somehow anticipating what's in store for them.

We quickly set-up on the stage and was able to have the
Baranggay Captain organize the list of kids that were to receive school supplies
and a bag of relief goods, they also helped us place several banana leaves where
we spread mountains of rice on top of a long table topped with a sumptuous adobo
for everyone to share the salu-salo before we started distributing the goods.
Coach Esse Sedigh of the Philippine Futsal Team, was the one who unofficially
set the rice to rest and invited the kids to dig in with their hands (washed of
course) and start the feast.

| yummmm |
After the bedlam of tiny hands digging in on the mouthwatering
(depending on your perspective) feast and the uproar slightly dying down
simultaneous with their little tummies approval, PSC represented by Atty. de Guino
and Ms. Cabigan started the distribution of goods with the help of a baranggay
representative who called the tiny tots name one by one albeit in a
semi-orderly one. The PSC folks were also the ones who prioritized the children
in the relief effort. There were loot bags full of school supplies for the
coming school season in the next week, these children could never have asked
for a better timing and packs of assorted toiletries, were also given to the
affected families.
 |
| I'm not full yet! |
After everything was sai0d and done, in this case fed and
given. The Futsal Team commenced with their sports clinic, introducing
"indoor football" to the kids.
It was another fun riot waiting to happen; the kids were more than excited to
pitch in and play as much as the Futsal players composed of the men and women
team, wanted to teach and inculcate the basic and discipline of the sport to these
little athletes, not to mention give sport jerseys to most of the kids who
participated.

| Now What? |

| kick? |
 |
| the before and after |
It was a fun and rip roaring afternoon, to borrow the mindset of these young instructors and willing accomplices. Mission accomplished, and the journey to the long, winding and rough road 2 housrs prior was but a mere speckle of an experience.
And not to leave out anyone behind; a special mention and thanks
to the help of PDRMMC Chief of NegOr, Mr. Angelo Tiongson, manong driver and
his assistant for without them getting there would not be possible.
There's another mission though; to do another 3 hour long ride
back to Dumaguete, but seeing the precious smile and glimmer on the children's
eyes and faces that we left behind, knowing that you are a part of that wonderful
experience, a mere 3 hour bus ride on wooden seats, rough road and speckled
dust are but a small and insignificant soreness to bear.
Special thanks to PSC sponsors:
