 “Centuries old coffins were discovered in this island,” explained
the enthusiastic Fr. Gil Mediana. “Those coffins,” he further shared,
“contained human skeletons that, if assembled together, would measure
up to seven feet each. Hence, it was construed that this island must
have been inhabited before by giants; and so the name Isla Gegantes.”

This day marked the beginning of new hope for Camillus Medhaven and the entire Philippine province.

From September 15 to 19, the Camillian novices commuted daily to the Montfort Fathers House in New Manila to attend the modular course on “Enneagram and Spirituality.” They fearlessly fought for space in the crowd at the LRT Santolan station just to reach the venue before 8:30 AM.

Brother Santa Claus has left the town.For these few months of stay in the community of Calbayog, I had the chance to live with our older religious. We were four in the beginning, Bro. Angelino. Fr. Luigi, Fr. James and me. It is wonderful to have them in the community. But now we are only two in the community. Last August 07, 2008, Fr. Luigi left for vacation in Italy and on the same day Bro. Angelino bid goodbye to the community because he was going back to Italy. After spending almost thirty years of ministry in the Philippines, Bro. Angelino, often called Santa Claus by the children, returned to his motherland (but I pray that he will be back…).
