It is my first ever official Brigada Eskwela in my life
time.
Being in Cagayan De Oro, Mindanao for various work-related
meetings and events, it was a destined time for me to be there. I arrived in Gusa Elementary School and the volunteers have
started to place in the ground the new plants at the frontage of the school. Some were painting, sweeping, and as the other crew
mentioned, cultivating the soil.
Outside the gate, I noticed an unusual street food. I saw
two little girls, who were sisters, Marianne & Maicah, who were preparing
their basket full of this pancake-like foodies. “Kiping” is P5.00 each. Kiping is wafer made of rice paste. A
sweet syrup made or “latik” is poured on it. Latik refers to a thick syrupy caramelized coconut cream used
as a dessert condiment.
