A Night of Disco

Mr. Felix Carbajal, a laboratory assistant assigned in Kitubo 2000 National High School experienced a one-of-a-kind incident while sleeping in the laboratory one night during the CILC training.

He intended to sleep in the site rather than go together with the team back in the hotel in a nearby municipality because the School Principal (Mr. Dalmiento) is a close friend and they have not seen each other for quite a while. 

At the end of the day, while Mr. Carbajal is preparing for sleep, he heard a disco-like sound so close to where he is. When he peeped outside, he was puzzled because he can not visibly locate where the sound comes from but he is pretty sure that the sound is just nearby. Being unable to locate the sound, he just went to sleep with a thought that there might just be a party somewhere.

The next morning while having breakfast with the Principal, he asked his friend where the party was. Mr. Dalmiento refuted that he did not hear any. A resident then butted in the conversation and said: “There is always a disco every night. You can not see where it is because it is held inside a tree” (the resident pointed the “balete” tree).

So scary! That was a frightening experience of Mr. Carbajal. He never thought that these stories really exist. He never expected to experience even one.  

Through the training travels, different experiences await. Nobody can guarantee a safe and normal trip but it’s just a matter of being ready to whatever may take place. No matter how scary or risky it may be, what matters is how committed the team is in delivering service to people that truly needs assistance like Kitubo National High School. As long as the intention is pure, there is nothing to worry about. Nothing can beat prayers.
