My First Visit To The Hachiman Jinja

This is Mr. Frank Guerrero ("Tan Ko"), the owner of the Hachiman Jinja. He has been inviting me to visit this beautiful historic place for a while, but I haven't been able to until this afternoon.
This is Mrs. Guerrero. The Guerreros recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Mrs. Guerrero is showing me some pictures of the vow-renewal mass. Gorgeous!
Lunch was originally scheduled for outdoors, but the weather had other plans. It's a beautiful place that has been well-maintained by Tan Ko and his family over the years.
Tan Ko said that these artifacts were found right here on this property.




Gorgeous!

Lunch At The Hachiman Jinja With Nihon University

The rain poured really hard just as the students got to the Hachiman Jinja. Even though I was there earlier, I still got caught in the rain. But what a delicious lunch our wonderful hosts, the Guerrero family, put on for us! Si Yu'us Ma'ase, Olomwaay, Thank You and Arigato Gozaimasu!
Nihon University students with our hosts, Mr. & Mrs. Guerrero-san, myself, Governor Ben Fitial, and Angelo Villagomez.
Everyone huddled together to wait for the rain to go away so we could visit the Hachiman Jinja. It's a good thing I visited the Jinja earlier before the rain came. The students ended up visiting in groups.
Oishi! Oishi! Yummy! Yummy!
Our hostess, Mrs. Guerrero-san, Aya Matsumoto-san, me, Kinai Guerrero, and Sensei Koshiro.

Thanks, again!
