The evening kicked off with a wellness webinar on “Emotional Well-Being”, led by resource speaker Mary Therese C. Lasanas, RPm. The insightful session was followed by group activities activities like Reverse Charades and The Boat is Sinking, fostering laughter, entertainment, and friendly competition. The evening was filled with anticipation and excitement for the adventures to come.

The following day, participants were split into 2 teams, each eager to experience and explore the wonders of Siquijor. For an adrenaline-filled exploration, Team A hiked to Cambugahay Falls and took part in the popular Fairy Walk. Meanwhile, Team B, opting for a more relaxed pace, ventured to Capilay Spring and spent quiet moments at the Our Lady of Providence Church. Both teams later reunited at Salogdoong and Paliton Beaches, enjoying the sun and the island’s white sands. Despite an evening downpour, the Hawaiian-themed party at Siquijor Sunset Glamping Village brought warmth and joy, with music and heartfelt conversations deepening connections.

On the 3rd Day, the group immersed themselves in Siquijor’s cultural and natural heritage, visiting historic churches and sites such as the iconic Enchanted Balete Tree.
