After the party at the Alejandro Hotel in Tacloban, we had a ticket to Manila.
We had an invitation to stay a few days with my friends Michael and Dativa from Melbourne.
This was Aileen's first air travel and her first visit to Manila.
With a few hours before the afternoon flight with Cebu Pacific, Ai suggested we meet up with
two important people in her life, Lina, "Mom Lina", and Lina's husband, Jerry. Both of them has been teachers at Ai's college, and Lina is an organiser with the catholic church.
In short, we had a lunch, a tour of the Tacloban mamorial to General MacArthur and a quick hello to a priest at the local seminary who was just leaving for a conference which sounded less than interesting. Lina and Jerry then had coffee with us outside the airport.
The MacArthur monument is shown in some of the photos. The "I shall return!" promise was kept with Philippino help. Jerry discussed the hostility of the Japanese occupation....
