SCAW Blog: Philippines, 2026: May 11

We are headed north to Pangasanin Province. For Team Philippines 2026, it’s another travel day. 

We met up with our driver, Allan, who expertly wove his way through crazy Manila morning traffic. En route we were invited to meet the Governor of Papanga province, Lilea Pineda, who was extremely interested to learn about the good work of SCAW and thanked the organization for helping the children of the Philippines.

The governor’s office made special arrangements for our team to visit Lubao Bamboo Hub and Eco Park which is currently closed to the public due to upgrades.

Next we swung (pun intended) by the Padera Verde Golf Club, where Stephen (our team duffer) was able to hit a few at their driving range.

All of this was followed by a lovely lunch where we said goodbye to our wonderful guides for the morning, Caren, Jericho and Frances. 

We arrived in Calasio in late afternoon and after freshening up we had a meeting to plan for tomorrow’s distribution. It’s going to be another busy day, so it’ll be an early night. Looking forward to another day of young, excited faces.
