Bones Balce (person seen on the left) lives in Australia - he's been there long enough to have garnered citizenship, and I was surprised to see his comment in Facebook one time implying that he was here.
Well, thanks to the above-mentioned FB, I got to get into contact with Bones (despite an apparently very hectic schedule) and share coffee time with him at the Coffee Beanery in the Shang.
I've met Bones and known him while he was still in High School, as a friend to Deke Amador. By college, he was too busy with his many NGOs and other advocacy-related organizations like coops to sit still ans touch base. So meeting up with him now... specially that he is based in the land 'down under', is a rare situation indeed. The guy has mellowed a bit it seems, but the intellect and love for social improvements for the Philippines is still very much present in him.
Good to see you again Bones, nice to see you still helping the Philippines - even if you're already an Aussie. Mighty good of you 'mate'... and see you around - if not in FB, then possibly here as well.
