Romulo Library and tried the local street foods at Mercato embracing the authentic flavors of the city. As the evening approached, the group visited the Plaza and concluded the day with an early dinner.

The students were accompanied by the staff of the External Linkages and International Affairs (ELIA) office, namely Mr. Jayson Elenzano, Mr. Mark Aldwin Agbayani, and Ms. Ann Xylih Calma.  

The students carried home a profound appreciation for the Philippines and a collection of memories that bridged the gap between the two cultures.
