LOBO, Batangas





We went to visit my Dad's hometown, Lobo, where the family owned Andrea Beach Resort and Scuba Dive is located. I was amazed to see an incredible change since my last visit there in quite a few years. To be honest, I dread the travel because of the rough roads causing the already long trip become even longer. Boy, was I surprised to see that change. It only took a few hours to get there, and that includes several pit stops along the way. Our travel was made pleasant by the scenic route, framed by the beautiful lamposts along the way. The roads are now paved with concrete except for a few miles of dirt road, and guess where?, right in the area of Fortune Cement Company. I don't understand the lack of social responsibility of this company. I pray that God will touch their management to see the irony of this situation. Anyways, I couldn't believe my eyes to see how the long arm of progress and development have finally reached our beloved Lobo. Most amazing more than anything is when I shared the love of Christ to my uncle Manuel and aunt Remy. It was a moving experience that only Jesus can make possible. I pray that Kuya Uwel will find a new and personal relationship with our Lord in the days to come.
