My participation in this year’s Gabii sa Kabilin was limited to Mandaue. Frankly, I was too tired to hop around different museums in Cebu City. So I confined myself to Mandaue where I also helped out in the book both of Phialo which displayed books on Cebu's culture and heritage published by the University of San Carlos Press and printed by ClintKAMMS Corp. I was with Phialo's two hardworking ladies, Choly and Charity, when Pilipoy came over with his box of candles. He just moved in Mandaue last February 2017 after three years of being out of school as a result of the devastation wrecked by Super Typhoon Yoland to their home in Tacloban. What was most admiring though is that tnis 12-year-old boy chose to help out his grandmother Lilian to sell candles so they will have enough money to buy his school requirements for this school year. Yes, he's going back to school and he's not begging money for it. Such admirable quality from a child. Read his story here as he enjoyed the sights and sounds of Gabii sa Kabilin in Mandaue: http://cebudailynews.inquirer.net/134528/gabii-sa-kabilin-night-happy #cebudailynews #gabiisakabilin #mandaue #afteryolanda #itsthenighttobehappy
