Gone for a moment to fulfill my duty as a scout for I am invited to a discussant on scouting ideals on Philippine scouting. More than hundred boy scouts of the Special Education Integrated School would be attending event. As a wood badge holder I would be sharing my scouting experiences to them. My 51-year experience in scouting would be enlivened again and surely they'll benefit from it. It's my honor to do my best to love God and my country, the Republic of the Philippines and to obey the scout law, to help other people at all time, to myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight. The scout law is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, reverent. "Once a Scout Is Always a Scout."

I was also a scout when I was younger and was even appointed as Assistant Scout Master when I was 18 to take over the community scouts in our barangay.

When you were 18, then did you stop or became inactive in scouting afterwards?

I got focused on my college studies when our scout master moved to another town.

Lots of things I know how to do now I owe to scouting like folding the Philippine flag properly, knot tying, using a compass and primitive fire making just to name a few...

I’m so pleased to hear that over 100 Boy Scouts of the Special Education Integrated School attended. I was a special education teacher for most of my career.

That's what the saying goes "once a scout is always a scout."

I used to be in the scout and its ideals are still in me after decades.

During my school life, I never joined a scout. It was fun, I knew.
