Hi, good morning. This is Amartya Sagarbarria of Favre. I just want to ask if you were able to receive an email from me? I really would like to interview you for my thesis this weekend, as your insights on cultural heritage initiatives are considered important for my research.

Thank you very much.

Castallon Cultural Heritage Officer:
You must be mistaken. This is Emilio Talavera's number. The contact # of the current director of CCHC is +639 08 1213 ****. Text that one instead. Thanks.
Amartya:
No I'm not mistaken. 😊 I want to talk to you.

Amartya:
As suggested by Fr. Caesar Lu (who I already interviewed). He told me you were in position for almost two years, kaya mas mainam na kausapin ko rin kayo.
Castallon Cultural Heritage Officer:
Ah I see. Sorry I don't check my email nowadays. Give a moment to read the whole thing. Sa emilioftalavera ba?
Amartya:
Yup, same email as before.

Amartya:
Sorry for being so persistent and annoying... pero nabasa niyo na po ba yung letter ko?
I just want to know if I can interview you po this weekend. I'll be travelling to Castallon this Friday and will be staying there until Monday, so anytime within those days is fine by me. Ako na lang din ang pupunta sa inyo to avoid hassle.
Castallon Cultural Heritage Officer:
Pwedeng pasend na lang ng interview questions sa email? Birthday kasi ni Archbishop this weekend. Baka hindi na kita ma-accommodate ng actual interview. Sasagutan ko na lang.
Amartya:
Oh right. I've been told.
That's against the papers I've signed for ethics, pero kung hindi talaga pwede then I'll just send them later.
Castallon Cultural Heritage Officer:
Hindi ako free. Pasend na lang
Amartya:
Okay.
Castallon Cultural Heritage Officer:
You should've texted my other number instead. Di ko na to ginagamit masyado.
Amartya:
I didn't text you there cause I get the feeling that you're avoiding me.
Anyway, email sent.
