The third week of January is when the fiesta for the Santo Niño is celebrated in different areas all over the Philippines. Here in Davao, we also had the celebration of the Santo Niño Fiesta at the Shrine of the Holy Infant Jesus of Prague last January 15, and of course several other areas in the city who has the Santo Niño as their Patron Saint also had their own fiesta celebrations... Panacan relocation is one of them.
Our officemate, Majar, lives in Panacan Relocation so when we were off from work this morning, he got endless teasing from his fellow agents to invite us to their fiesta... so in the end we headed to their place. The place is not new to me. I used to come here every Sunday several years ago. This is the place where my departed grandmother used to live. It is where me and my cousins would spend some days of the summer. We love the place coz my grandmother has a little sari2x store, and of course as kids we just love free candies from our grandma.
It is now my cousin who lives in the lot where my grandma used to live. Her old house has also been demolished and a new house was built by my cousin, but I can still clearly remember how that old house looked like.
Back to the fiesta.. wow! the mom of Majar must be shocked to see all 14 of us there: Raquel, Lyra, Mylene, Me, Amy, Michael, Cliff, Wilmer, Ricky, Elton, Erwin, Odrale, Ronald, and Leo. As usual the videoke addicts strike again! We were amazed by the hard bound song book of their videoke player. The boys had drank a few bottles of beer and we were finally able to go home at around 10:30AM. We had to head home or else we would be struggling to stay awake while at work.
