This photo was taken when I went to Lucena City, which locates to the south of Metro Manila, in late December 1997. Thanks to an ideal combination of holidays and weekend days, normal civil servants were given nine days off. Adding four days of annual leave, I enjoyed 13-day vacation. It was when I was sent to the Economic Planning Agency, which has already disbanded.
It is hot today. In addition, the stock prices declined again. So, I will go out to cool myself.
