Duterte was in my hometown this evening. He was in the school plaza where I was studying in elementary grade. The plaza is only 10 minutes walk from my house. How I wish I have been there tonight to see him and the other people I know of. My relatives were there in the rally welcoming him and the other political candidates. Well, I wish that we will have a new mayor in my hometown, the one who was born and grew up in the same hometown.
Anyway, I was just surprised to see the news on fb a few hours ago.
I have not been here for maybe a week or more. I hope everything is well in your side of the world.
The photo is my orchids hanging in the pomelo tree of my yard in the Philippines. I am glad it is still blooming even though I am not there.
Thank you for reading.

At least the distance doesn't seem so bad with social media. Hopefully you'll get your wish.
