Introducing Allangen Hermoso

Algin as they call him is a very charismatic, loveable 10 years old Manobo child. Algin’s parents separated while the mother was pregnant with him.   The mother left Algin to his grandfather when he was born.  He has never seen the parents, ever.  When he was three years old he became seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital, and while he was there, the grandfather died.  Two sisters, Susan Grace Tomale and Ruth Tomale Cosca paid the hospital for his release.  He has since then, been with the sisters Susan and Ruth and he is a child of FraisEl.  Algin, made me so feel at home at FraisEl.  FraisEl is a free medical clinic founded and being financed by Dr. Bert Pagarigan. 

A photo op for Algen, lovely, lovely expressive eyes.

 I will never forget this lovely child, especially when he volunteered to do errands for me, and how lovely when he wanted to earn money he asked if he and his friend, a girl next door who was so gifted, gave me a massage. I am sure he will grow up to be a good man, especially with the guidance of Ruth and Susan and Pastor Dexter Elidera all of KIDAPAWAN.

On my arrival, we posed in front of the Welcome sign.

Algin, I hope you get the chance to read this, maybe one day, Anita’s Kitchen will be able to raise money for you for your college education.  Tita Nitz sure misses you.
