I have just come with Imelda and the children with some of the retreatants from Mirador to see that the retreat starts. I sleep here at the Mansion tonight and proceed to Mirador for the meditation at 8:15 AM the first activity.
Arrived at 11:05 AM by plane taking the Manila-Baguio flight in about 40 minutes. A little cloudy but the east was clear and bumpy. The plane had to go back for Imelda and the children.
Played 7 holes at Kañao (Mansion) so that we could save time, then changed to a barong at the 8th tee and black shoes in lieu of my golf shoes and went to the conference held to host a lunch for and deliver a speech for the City Mayor’s convention.
And changed to a suit for the PMA [Philippine Military Academy] graduation. I arrived at 3:40 PM and finished at about 5:00 PM. The clouds threatened to, but did not rain.
Still cold in Baguio even in March.
