With then Congressman Gerry Salapuddin at a rubber plantation in Basilan. We went on a famtrip prior to drafting an economic development plan for the province called "The Basilan Initiative". Our team to Basilan included 3 doctors (2 Phds and 1 MD) :)

When in Rome do as the Romans do" as the saying goes. So, when in Basilan ... do as the Basilenos do. This is Marlboro country.
