DAY 9: Dumaguete to Cebu

Today is the first official rest day. The B4L team took the roro from Dumaguete to Santander, Cebu. Santander is just 130km away from Cebu City. It would have been great to bike that leg but due to a previous commitment to our sponsors, we had to forego the bike ride and ride with the support and gear vehicles towards Cebu City.

Boy, tama na yan...

The group stopped over at Carcar to have a sumptuous lunch of lechon and chicharon. It was such a sinful meal! Everyone had a feast specially Ricky, Edsel and Boy! We warned them and reminded them of their diet but all they had to say was... "What diet?"

The whole group proceeded to the Pepsi plant of Cebu to pay our respects to our major sponsor. We also replenished our supplies. Maraming salamat sa Pepsi, Gatorade at Propel! It was interesting to note that the plant manager's sibling died of cancer as well. He said that it was easy for him to relate with the group's cause.

The entire group then headed to Cebu City for their much-needed R&R. Later that afternoon, James, Boy, Densio and I proceeded to a local radio station for a short interview at Y101.1 studio. What actually made my day was a surprise donation given by a good friend, Andy Mendiola. Maraming salamat!

That night, everyone had the chance to gimik out and enjoy the night life of Cebu. Sa uulitin!
