Thank you.

It is beautiful here despite the tough living for most everyone here.

We are in Baguio at this moment and visit CJH once in a while.

It does rain a lot here but it is cooler than Manila.

We are hiring for contract positions only. The pay is 250 pesos a day and there are some hazardous and physically taxing situations.

The numbers of people wanting work with us is growing. We work 5 days from 8am to 5pm with an hour lunch.

It's not that we are all that great to work for or that the salary is all that great it's just that in the rural areas paid work is so very hard to find.


We're going back out for a few days and I don't expect to be online for a few weeks.

Thanks to everyone for your interest and comments.

The Bureau of Fisheries has delivered 2000 fingerlings to our pond on Saturday and it's getting more interesting.

We have a mix of Israeli and African tilapia and the officer from the bureau tells us that they will grow into very good breeders. That's precisely what we want.

Photos should be available next time we get back into town.

That's not exactly what I meant by that last post Bruce but after re-reading it...you're right. Sounds funny.

No fish porn though, sorry.

Thanks Griff,

Seems possible that in a year we could have some decent yields of fish. If that sort of thing interests you.

What do you feed the fish? Or can they find their own food in the pond?
