BATAUSA GRAND REUNION

Madayon man ang Batausa Clan Grand Reunion ig May 17 Sunday pohon. Earlier there were talks of postponing it due to the current crisis sa Middle East resulting in very high gasoline prices. Thankfully this time, nibarato n man ang diesel. The highest I saw was around P135 per liter and gasoline for around P98 per liter. Somewhere in the P80s n lng ang gasoline ug diesel this time. So madayon n jud siya pohon. Si Agaw Tata Morales who works in Davao City I think wants to join. Magmotor lng kuno siya if madayon siya. Cge Gaw, aju2 sa mga plano. C Lord n ang mag igo.
