It's really heart warming to see everyone here Bernard must be smiling right now seeing the family he love so much. Teary-eyed na pasiuna ni Lola Faustina. Every year this event had always been the first in my list. Yes we see each other seldomly outside but this event is different because your time was solely focused to our family. Bernard started this event before because he wanted to see the family which he had been taking care of and the main reason behind all the success. This event had always been a constant reminder to us of the real treasure that we have. Lola Faustina smiled genuinely looking her five children with their family. Okay. I guess that's enough for the senti moment. Lola Faustina's voice shifted to a very energetic one. Soooo... today is a kinda different from what we used to do. Its gonna be a total shift of environment. Basically its a race. We have 7 stations. Every station has its own unique challenge. On your journey to each station you have to collect gold coins.
