GSP Southern Tagalog: Hooray, Southern Luzonians!!!

A city reaching the sky had been a home for five days of 15 young ladies representing their respective councils in Southern Tagalog. A rainy morning astounded them as they arrived at Ating Tahanan, venue of the National Senior-Cadet Conference which was participated by other Girl Scouts all over the country as well.

Ating Tahanan at Baguio City..

"Lead the Change-Uplifting Young Women's Potentials to Break Boundaries and be Effective Leaders" was the theme of the said event. There were sessions attended wherein the gals were the ones to choose where they would go to that really gave excitement to them.

The first day was tiresome because of the 7-hour-travel from Manila. This was a day of 'getting to know each other'. The said event was jam-packed with challenges and surprises. There was also a city trip wherein we had our 'bonding moments' as we bought 'pasalubongs' and as we explore Baguio, the City of Pines! It was rainy though... The last day was great, but the closing ceremony was very dramatic. Everyone shed tears as we bade farewell to one another.

On the other hand, 2 Batanguenas were members of the staff for the conference. They were Teesha Catherine R. Banta and Angelica M. Sune. Their dedicated service for scouting was really one of a kind, and for that I salute the two of them!
