Eena Loves you! Thank you for saving me from my first ever snorkeling experience in echo. I don't know if you still remember it. Pero it meant so much to me. Although I still don't know how to swim (irrational fears) until now, it made me braver to do leaps of faith because I learned (through you saving me) that the Lord will always provide someone to save me [or pwede rin na si Lord na ang magsave] <3. Also thank you for the very very beautiful example of hospitality. Your example of hospitality is an unprecedented one, bigay lahat. Eena loves you so much. Isang mahigpit na virtual yakap. <3 <3 <3

I love you, Tito M!

I love tito M because he's just there. You can feel that he loves you and I feel so privileged na we have a relationship outside of camps. He's so unobtrusive but he's so full of wisdom. He won't ram it down your throat, but will sit with you and journey with you sa kung anong drama mo and hug or akbay and with fatherly patience, listen. He's so forgiving, encouraging and generous of himself and of everything he has, including his family. Ang daming time na ako nakatulog sa bahay nila sa elbi and sa manila, and I remember after I took the board exam, and was waiting for the results. Ang nasa isip ko lang talaga ay kailangan nasa elbi ako when I get the news and so I went to their house to wait it out. Hay, love na love tito M. Miss na miss - Tint

Kay Tito M ko natutunan maging maparaan. One camp ata tinanggal nya screw ng salamin ko para masuot ko sa loob ng snorkeling gear. Kasi sad na malabo yung mata at walang contact lens. Saka patient nya sa mga katulad ko na cause of delay kasi takot sa heights hahaha. Thankful ako na inencourage ako nila Tito M itry yung mga activities kasi maraming most memorable moments ko ay yung mga na experience ko sa ECHO. - Hannah Canubas-Bugarin

When we were planning our wedding, my first thought was I want tito M as one of our photographers. Salamat tito M for saying yes to that request. Love you todo todo talaga. It is one of my greatest joys to have been able to give you a DSLR. I bless the Lord for giving me you and I hope that you know how much you mean to me. - Tint

Hello, Tito M! I have so much to thank you for. You were like a father to me in LB and even nung graduate na ako at nasa LB pa rin. I remember you called me "kaladkarin" hahaha. Kasi hindi ako laging nakakauwi nun ng Bicol during vacations kaya kayo ang kasama ko sa LB. Kung saan saan niyo ako sinasama. Salamat po at hindi naging malungkot yung vacations ko pag hindi nakakauwi samin. Even sa TLP class mo with kids naisama niyo rin ako. 😁One time also I spent a Christmas in LB, si Tita Grace naman kasama ko nun. Nagsimbang gabi pa kami at kumain ng Cadbury after. Sobrang warm and happy memories lang with both of you. You and your family are one of the biggest blessings to me in my life in LB. Maraming salamat for making me feel welcome and loved. Mahal na mahal at miss ko na po kayo nila Tita Grace. ❤️

PS. This photo was during our Thansgiving gathering at Ate Weng's house, December 2013. ❤️

God has used you to bless me during college and even after that. I am thankful for how you have shared your time, talent and resources with me.

When I think of ECHO, I will always think of you and how you selflessly shared your life with us. And how the Lord changed my life through our camps and time together.

Thank you very much Kuya Manolo. Salamat at naging Tatay at Kakampi ka namin. Life is so much happier and easier with you. hahaha. You will always be my favorite.

Your favorite adopted daughter,
K-gwapa 😂

Tito M and family! <3 Thank you so much for making me feel at home every time I come visit you whenever I'm in the Philippines! Thank you for being my second family, for listening to my hopes and dreams, sharing them even and cheering me on. Thank you for the emotional safety I feel in your presence. For more adventures to come! Cheers!

Faith loves Tito M!

My dearest Tito M, you are my favorite camp buddy. Camping with you is guaranteed to be fun and safe. I have always admired how you offer yourself up to others. You are always willing to teach and to encourage. I have learned a thing or two about teaching from you. My dearest Tito M, thank you for always waiting for me to come out of my shell. I am shy and scared but you taught me to love outdoor adventures no matter how ouside-of-the-box they seem to me. I praise the Lord for you and Tita Grace who are always willing to take Esvees in without question, and always with open arms. Mahal ko po kayo.
