Today is Saturday, January 29, 2022. Before this day comes, I already knew that I will be preoccupied with a lot of things. Although I made prior preparations I was still anxious things will never be in place or happen as planned.

CLINICAL LEGAL EDUCATION PROGRAM WEBINAR

We used to have this activity every Saturday from 8 am to 10 am, it’s a webinar given to our less fortunate brothers and sisters in jail. I was the Director of this activity last semester and remain one this semester even if it’s already outside my scope or responsibility as a student of Clinical Legal Education Program, a subject required by the Supreme Court of the Philippines to Law students as a requirement for graduation and of taking the Bar.

I have enrolled in this subject last year and everything that I do for the Persons Deprived of Liberty from 21 jails all over Region 10 is part of the requirements to pass the subject. But this time it’s purely an act of kindness and dedication to be of help to our detained brothers and sisters. I was one of the volunteers but in truth, I was requested by our Dean to spearhead the weekly activity up to the end of the second semester.

The photos below show the major activities we had last semester. Aside from the BJMP (Bureau of Jail Management and Penology) which is my main assignment, I was also involved in the gift-giving program to the Home for the Aged here in Cagayan de Oro City, the House of Hope, an institution that takes care of our brothers and sisters who have mental problems and so with the Talaandig Tribes.

ATTENDED THE CHRISTENING OF MY FRIEND'S NEWBORN CHILD

So going back to the webinar this morning, I was trying to get a good chance to exit early, because I need to go somewhere for another personal related matter. Yes, I was invited by my classmate (a long time ago) to be one of the godfathers of his newly born child. Being a good friend of mine it was hard for me to refuse so I really find time to be present during the baptismal.

To make the story short, I did the two activities exactly as I wanted. That was in the morning. At 10 am I was supposed to have a class up to 12 noon, and another one at 1 pm to 3 pm and finally 6-9 pm, but unfortunately all our professors didn’t show up, maybe it’s because the enrollment is not done yet.

_{This is the gift I received earlier, instead of me giving a gift to the child I was the one who received one.}

A BLESSING

So it was a blessing in disguise, for the first time I had a good rest in the afternoon, and before I will leave the house again to fetch my wife from work, I had the chance to create this blog.

So I think I have to end up here, it’s past 8 pm and my wife will be out from work at 9 so I must be there on time.

Till next!
