work-related weekend travel
i'm scheduled to leave for benguet tomorrow noon together with some people from our office (all suspectedly bent except one, albeit non-karirables *lol*) to learn firsthand about how a certain mining operation there has been adopting sound practices ensuring environmental protection and addressing social concerns. (you see, the government is currently pushing for the development of the mining industry, and our office head happens to be one of the key officials overseeing this endeavor. being a member of the office's writers' pool, i, in turn, happened to be part of the team tasked by the head to prepare a primer intended to tackle government efforts to address issues concerning mining. relevant information to be gathered out of our trip is targeted for inclusion in the primer.) we'll be staying there until sunday.
well, this travel entails having to forego partying out as well as resting this particular weekend. but then, i may not be able to have this chance of experiencing the place ever again, never mind if this time it has to be work for the most part. i have had and still would have other saturdays anyway to party all i want, i'd better take this opportunity.

can't help but comment. philex? it's the only successful mining town i know. been there twice for field trips.
i think we're also goin there, aside from balatoc. comments are always welcome, dude.
they converted balatoc into some sort of a mining theme park. i don't know if it was succesful or not.
it's also open for shootings too. we once had a picture taken with fpj and anjanette abayari there for a flick i can't remember.
