Our string of
good fortune in Minalabac last May 4 did not end with the adventure run to the
white pebble beach of Bagolatao.
As we
came down to the town proper, I received a text invite from our Minalabac-based
Ateneo de Naga HS Batch 1983 classmate Jose San Jose. He invited us for merienda.

This invite we
accepted and we were welcomed to the San Jose family residence in the poblacion of Minalabac.Waiting for us was a sumptuous feast of
pancit bihon, toasted siopao and “binamban.” For the latter, it was my first time to experience its delectable
taste. It is a rice-based kakanin and
its allure to me was its color of purple. Masiramon mga padi.
We enjoyed so
much the merienda and we are very thankful for the warm hospitality of Jose,
his wife Salve and his family.
And as an added
bonus, our batchmate Jose gifted each of
us with a box of Anlene Total powdered milk with Glucosamine and Nano-Calcium. It is the newest product offering of their
company Fonterra. Good timing for this
pabaon as long distance runners like us need to drink milk to supplement our
calcium intake. This Anlene Total looks
top of the line when it comes to milk for “growing” and golden boys.

Truly, hospitality
and generosity abound in the province.
