June 22, 2007: "IF THESE WALLS COULD SPEAK" - Tour of Intramuros by Carlos Celdran

The Living Saints teens went on the first of our field trips this year. Threaded throughout the field trips this year is the theme "Changing Outlooks on Our Nation," and they all are geared towards creating an awareness in our homeschoolers on the history (both the good and the bad) of our beloved Philippines. Our first field trip was a three-hour walking tour of the San Agustin Museum, Father Blanco's Garden, the San Agustin Church, and Casa Manila.

The talented and animated Carlos Celdran facilitated our group. Theatrical to the core and a Manileno at heart, Carlos punctuates his commentaries with bits and pieces of historical trivia, delivered with his particular blend of humor, wit and irreverence. It kept the homeschoolers entertained and engaged, especially the boys (whom everyone knows are the hardest audience to please!)
