Community Service & Tour to Gingoog City

Hey guys! It's been awhile I haven't post anything here. I have been very busy with all my duties and tasks as president of my club, the Team YBR CDO, Inc., as well as my responsibilities to my beloved family, not to mention my real estate job. But, anyway  I'm here to summarize the rest of my riding activities since the last post I have here, our trip to Maria Cristina Falls in Iligan City.

First, Team YBR CDO Inc. donated various relief clothing to the fire victims of St. John, Brgy. Puntod, CDO City last August 2, 2009. It was participated by 14 regular and active members of the organization.
The relief clothing were turned over to and received by the barangay officials of Puntod. A copy of the Resolution No. 085-07-2009 was given to the group expressing the deep gratitude by the local government officials to Team YBR CDO, Inc.'s effort to participate in such activities specially intended for the welfare of  the people in need like the more than 100 households that became victims of the fire that erupted last July 22, 2009. Said resolution was signed by Barangay Chairman, Marvin G. Beja with conformity by Kagawad, Mitchelle Rey E. Clarito, Kag. Alexis J. Dacer, Kag. Evangeline S. Abbu, Kag. Joe T. Bonjoc, Sr., Kag. Doris Lavern U. Sia, Kag. Domenic V. Daumar and Kag. Mariah Kathlyn S. Denque. To all members of Team YBR CDO, Inc., CONGRATULATIONS for the success of our team's first Community Service which was spearheaded by the committee chairman, Ybro Randie Asuncion.
Second is our tour to Gingoog City, a second class city in the province of Misamis Oriental, Philippines. It is approximately 122 kilometers east of Cagayan de Oro City. It was a fine Sunday morning, September 20, 2009 to be exact. Fourteen regular members joined the tour making the first stop-over at Villanueva to have some breakfast at a carinderia (small restaurant) that serves hot meat soup, sinangag (fried rice) and other native foods. 
The group then proceeded on its tour, and after a total of 84 kilometers run, it had its next stop-over at the
Balingoan Port for some picture takings for souvenirs. The great backdrop you can view is the Camiguin Island that lies off the northern coast of Mindanao. The group altogether had its merienda (snacks) at one of its regular member's residence. In less than 30 minutes, the group were back on its route towards Gingoog City. The group reached Gingoog City and have some  fun and picture taking in Arturo S. Lugod Sports and Cultural Center and at the Gingoog Port area.



After some rest, the team rode back for Balingoan where we took our lunch at our Vice- President's house. We then proceeded to Baleng ni Juan where we continue having fun until night time. We left Balingoan heading homeward Cagayan de Oro City at 7:00 P.M. and after a kilometer and a half run, heavy rains started to fall. We took refuge at the nearest waiting shed along the highway. 30 minutes passed but the rain seemed to be not stopping anymore. We decided to push through with our ride and once again braved the heavy rainfalls that soaked us all and made us chilling while we travel the eastern coastal road of Misamis Oriental. We arrived in Cagayan de Oro City more or less at 9:00 P.M. all wet and chilling like little children but filled with joy and happiness in our heart.
