| Nathan -- the unofficial spokesperson for Precious Gem Academy welcoming the IP Rondalla. |
Today, we're back in Manila. We woke up early to visit Precious Gem Academy in Quezon City. There, we were treated to a sumptuous Filipino breakfast complete with tuyo (salty, dried sardines). Knowing me, I had quite a few pieces of tuyo, and unfortunately, my mouth smelled pretty fishy. Luckily, I had some gum to chew off the stench.
It was very warm and humid. You could see sweat perspiring down some of the boy's shirt, but we plodded on with renditions of "Ewan/Marry You" and "Just Give Me a Reason." The crowd of elementary school went wild. The kids also performed for us a version of "Ang Pipit," complete with their bird costume!
Everybody had fun dancing to the tune of "Gentlemen" by Psy. It was hit, even with the rondalla boys and the children's parents.
