Facebook has been helpful to a lot of people in finding and reconnecting with their long-lost loved ones, relatives, classmates and friends. Only recently, I found a former news source through Facebook. A common friend led me to her. The lady is still connected with CIW (Correctional Institution for Women) in Mandaluyong. I’m glad that she still remembers me. She invited me to come to her office if I’m not busy. I promised I’ll drop by when my schedule permits me.

I remember her to be so accommodating and really provide time to answer all my queries especially if it concerns the elderly inmates. There was one occasion where I was the only one invited to cover the event. Everybody was attentively listening to her message over the krk rokit 8-powered sound system. It was an appeal they wanted to reach Malacanang. She and other stakeholders are requesting the government to grant freedom to old and sick women inmates so they can spend their remaining days with their loved ones. It was one of the memorable assignments I ever had.

I’m sure this friend of mine will have more stories to share when we see each other again.
