In the evening, Kuya Eddie Boy and his wife Rizza returned and we had a delicious dinner of Paksiw, one of my favorite Filipino dishes. I spent the afternoon enjoying the company of his sisters and their husbands, chatting about America and the Philippines, what it is like to be a volunteer, and what I will do after my service. Kuya Eddie Boy is a Bantay Dagat (community coastal law enforcement volunteer) who lives in Bataha, Tanagan. In a few hours, our tasks were complete and I made my way to Kuya Eddie Boy’s place, escorted by Elmer the Marine Protected Area Patroller. At the same time, I was joined by two others to cut the wire for tying the coral to the nursery. The holes that had been drilled into the frame by the welders at Enzo Tech were too small for the rope that had been purchased, so as some participants were cutting the rope to appropriate length to be tied, others were filing and drilling the holes to accommodate the thicker rope.
