L ast Sunday, November 23, 2008, the "Mission of Love" fund raising program for the Mission Homestead of
the BLD-San Pablo District North Sector was held at the Mater Ecclesiae School in San Pedro, Laguna. The
activity started with the doxology followed by an audio visual presentation of the Mission Homestead
activities. A music band was hired and provided great songs and music to the delight of everyone who attended the
event. While having dinner, the band was joined by our very own Luan Florido and Obong Porsovigan. They made
great music together, and then it was dancing until curtain call. The night was marked by unity and camaraderie (see
above photos). To God be the Glory! (Mike/Azel Pulgar)
