USJ-R High School Goes To Dakak, Dipolog, Sindangan and Zamboanga City

The USJ-R High School Faculty went on an educational tour to Mindanao!

First off is the port of Dumaguete where M/V Zamboanga Ferry of George and Peter Lines docked! We went down to have breakfast at Jollibee Dumaguete!


Dumaguete is famous for its Boulevard where you can see the sun rise...


Finally! Dakak, here we are!!!


Sunset at Dakak, what a sight to behold...


Cultural show at Dakak


This is in Dakak, but the question is: Why am I wearing Tagaytay T-shirt? Hehehehe...


Our room in Dakak: very spacious!


Checking out of Dakak


What a wonderful place...


Next stop was at the Rizal Shrine in Dapitan. I am pointing at my relative, a Knight of Rizal: Cristino G. Abasolo, Deputy Commander!


This is the view theat Josephine Bracken must have been looking at when she was staying at Rizal's house in Dapitan. Do I look like Josephine?


The original water system that Rizal built in Dapitan where he was exiled.


Awaiting Governor Yebes...


We had our courtesy call on the Governor of ZaNorte, an alumnus of USJ-R!


The teachers then went to Sindangan. This is a typical Sindangan boat.

Next stop for the tour is the Philippine Carabao Center, a brain-child of Pres. Joseph Estrada!


Carabaos are herded into the facility where their milk is harvested.


Rev. Fr. Sia gives milking a try!


We're now in Zamboanga City! What's that we are eating? It's satti, a Muslim delicacy!


You can eat it here at the Morning Sun Satti
