day that we’ve been waiting finally came.

really enjoy the tour in Manila because it is a privilege to go to the LSGH and

Benjie Paras at La Salle Green Hills. We have 6 vans sponsored by REX BOOK
STORE; these vans were our services for the whole tour. And I am belonging to
van 6, our van defined as the singers, because we kept on singing until we
arrived to the place. We thank to the sponsored of REX BOOK STORE for using
their vans in our whole tour and also to our Teachers that always guide us
wherever we go. In this Educational Tour, I learned how to budget and spent my
money wisely and to socialize with other people in different places.
