It was April 9, 2014 when La Salle graduate students of the Doctoral Program for Educational Leadership and Management, Executive Program visited Sa Kabukiran. All five students, James Messina of Malayan College, Cynthia Grace Diaz of the University of the East, Lou Melegrito of De La Salle University Manila, and Sister Remy Decozar of the Dominican School System and myself spent April 9 and 10 Sa Kabukiran to have our last lecture session with Dr. Roberto Borromeo.
When the guests arrived they were immediately amazed at the place. Immediately after, lunch was served. Guests were treated to a sumptuous Kabukiran meal served on banana leaves. Guests had to eat with their bare hands – Kabukiran style! Lunch included Alimango, hipon, longganisang Guagua, Chicharon, tabang talangka some salads and suman for dessert. Whew! How is that for a meal!
The group checked in at Abe’s Farm for the night which is just a ten minute drive from Sa Kabukiran. The experience was beautiful as the group had light and bonding moments together even if the topic was about Strategic Planning! Dr. Borromeo chided the group that the session was to be a despedida party for the group since one of the students, Fr. Efren Ambre has left for the states and that the group was no longer feasible as a class at La Salle. Well, despedida or not, the experience really allowed us to bond with one another at this beautiful place where one can really be with nature – not to mention the delicious Kapampangan food only Sa Kabukiran!
