A Visit to Our Lady

An interesting thing happened to me yesterday.

I had long wanted to organize a pilgrimage trip to the town of Manaoag in Pangasinan.  In the last quarter of the 20th century, it had become a popular pilgrimage town thanks to the frequent visits of the likes of the late President Cory Aquino.  My reasons include the fact that it is my family's hometown and I wanted to contribute to the local economy.

Finally I got the right mix I think.  The last element was the transportation and I met somebody who fitted my price nicely.  So, yesterday morning I created an event in fb and issued the invite.  i was hoping people would see it and respond positively.

Then I got ready for a meeting.  I got to the office early and found a stack of newspapers.  The other attendees of the meeting were not yet there so I began to go through the papers.  On one page, there was an article on a new ad campaign to promote Pangasinan.  It was entitled "I LOVE PANGASINAN"

What do you know?  Perfect.
