Paul Donovan returned the end of July after spending 17 days touring the Philippines. He visited 9 different cities - Naga City/Calabanga, Tabaco City, Legaspi City, Ormoc City, Cebu City, Toledo City, San Jose Del Monte/Norzagaray, Tarlac City and Blaangas -- and 11 different provinces - Manila, Camarines Sur, Albay, Sorsogon, North Samar, Samar, Leyte, Cebu, Bulacan, Tarlac and Bataan.

The All Staff Meeting in Tabaco City went off as planned, alas Arjie was unable to join us. Paul met with Noe, Johannes and Jaylind on Sunday, July 18th in Tabaco City. The city has changed a lot in one year with the opening of the new central market and moving the open market to new spaces.

Meetings with hotels and city officials in Naga City and Ormoc City went well as we talked about our plans for the future with our Tayo Na Sa Canada project.
