boys and girls week
The annual Boys and Girls Week begins today.
Once again student leaders from various schools in Manila gather for one whole week to experience a city official’s work.
I am very grateful to have been given the chance to experience this myself. And lucky for me, I had the privileged of enjoying it twice—when I was in my third and fourth year in high school.
Although I missed classes (which I always do), there are reasons why I’d love to do this thing again.
First, I get to bond with other students from both public and private schools in Manila. Some of them I still do meet sometimes along the AS lobby or anywhere else in UP.
Second, there’s always food served. Yes, the city government pampered us pretty well. There’ll be food every two hours. So even if you are not hungry, you had no choice but to eat.
Third, you meet and mingle with city officials like the mayor and councilors. But I guess I wasn’t that lucky in having sensible counterparts. (naku, libel ito! Hehehe)
Of course there’s the always the feeling of pride to have been chosen as one of the lucky few and to have represented my school.
But sadly my turn ended. Others have to experience the feeling to. So congratulations to MINA PEARL for being chosen as VICE MAYOR in this year’s BnG week.
Because I miss my HS days, here are some pics (proof) during my time as councilor of the 4th district of Manila.
