Salesians Sa Kabukiran
It was November 7, 2016. Salesians spent a day Sa Kabukiran.
It was a historic first as they were the first Salesians to step inside Sa
Kabukiran. They were Salesians from Tarlac who wanted to have some time for
themselves, to think and reflect and evaluate the past semester. Sa Kabukiran
was the perfect place for that. The trip to Sa Kabukiran was organized and sponsored by Mike
Carlos who has been a very good friend and promoter of Sa Kabukiran. He invited
Fr. Joey Paras SDB to come to Kabukiran and spend a day there with his
confreres.
Their stay at Sa Kabukiran included a talk from me regarding
the Laity in the New Evangelization. This also included a time for them in the
afternoon to assess and evaluate their institution for the past semester.

At the end of the day, the salesians had a quick tour of the
farm, culminating in picture taking with Mt. Arayat at the backdrop. This visit was indeed a blessing Sa Kabukiran. I think they
liked the place. So they’re planning to have a day once more here with two
other Salesian institutions in the north, namely, Don Bosco Mabalacat and Don
Bosco San Jose, Nueva Ecija.
Two of the Salesians were my contemporary, who were a little
older than I was – Fr. Joey and Bro. Nick. The rest were young Salesians who
happened to know my songs way back when they were still in high school and
continue to sing my songs in Don Bosco. Really happy to hear that from them. I will be awaiting their return in Kabukiran before
Christmas sometime in December when the Salesian Solid North will come once
more to bless this beautiful place.
