Yes, teachers at VSU are very talented especially the people I know from the former DAL. It's just sad that most of us have gone our separate ways due to the rotten system in the school. You can read my other articles "Journeys 1 & 2" because that is my tribute to our dear VSU which was still known as LSU during my stay there.]]> Fri, 23 May 2008 20:13:26 PST http://www.trifter.com/Asia-&-Pacific/Philippines/The-Ghost-Towns-of-Samar.111556#comment147259 ]]> Sat, 17 May 2008 08:18:10 PST http://www.trifter.com/Asia-&-Pacific/Philippines/The-Ghost-Towns-of-Samar.111556#comment146699 ]]> Fri, 16 May 2008 02:41:31 PST http://www.trifter.com/Asia-&-Pacific/Philippines/The-Ghost-Towns-of-Samar.111556#comment146219

I still cringe today at the thought that we could have been ambushed in one of our research trips in these towns. Military operation was still very much active during those times. But because of our idealism and youth we dared travel to such difficult sites to get the data we needed. These beautiful people of Samar shielded and guided us all through those times. I would still go back to these places given a chance.]]> Mon, 21 Apr 2008 00:26:17 PST http://www.trifter.com/Asia-&-Pacific/Philippines/The-Ghost-Towns-of-Samar.111556#comment132298
