Von Voyage, Ric
Ricardo Punsalan accumulated friends in his 8 years of stay in Nigeria, the most part being here in Abuja.
And as new faces come, they too became his friends.
The knowledge of him moving out of the country galvanized the OFWS of The Migrants (Ang Buhay ng Overseas Workers) into action. A send-off is definitely in order. Though it’s a weekday, friends started to make preparations on Monday evening after work. Sherwin had the chickens ready for roasting. Ditto with Lito, and as he said…for a friend, it’s a pleasure.
On Tuesday immediately the clock struck 6:00, we’re all on our way home. Lito’s skill in culinary art was manifested solidly – cook four types of dishes in 2 hours plus rice! Sherwin and Mcdoo collected the only ordered meal from the clubhouse – Fried rice with prawns.
And friends came with drinks as well.
A celebration like this makes this more special – because we all know that we’ll all eventually go home or go to another place as in the case of Ric. After circling the globe as an OFW, he now chose a post so close to home – Singapore. And his family is happier.
Ric will definitely be missed – at The Nunciature where we all attend every Saturday, birthday celebrations in their house at Gwarinpa and at Dantata and Sawoe, charity works – gift-giving to the needy.
Here’s us wishing you a whole new adventure with more blessings on your way.
Von Voyage, Fellow Migrant.
