“Hasta la vista” is the Spanish equivalent of the French “Au revoir”. Spoken between friends it means “be seeing you” or “see you later”. The words literally mean “until the seeing” in the sense of “until our next meeting”.
Today, I say
"Hasta la vista"
to my active,
service-oriented,
ever-loving,
and supportive
CESDEV Volunteers.
'Till we meet again!

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Close your eyes I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go

We find a special friend
Who never lets us down
Who understands it all
Reaches out each time you fall
You're the best friend
that I've found
I know you can't stay
A part of you will
never ever go away
Your heart will stay
I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way
Hmm………... this way
I don't need eyes to see
The love you bring to me
No matter where I go
And I know that you'll be there
Forever more apart of time,
you're everywhere
I'll always cares
And I'll be right behind
your shoulder watching you
I'll be standing by
your side and all you do
And I won't ever leave
As long as you believe
You just believe
We find a special friend
Who never lets us down
Who understands it all
Reaches out each time you fall
You're the best friend
that I've found
I know you can't stay
A part of you will
never ever go away
Your heart will stay
I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday

After years of struggle and toil, the Cebu based Emergency Rescue Unit Foundation (ERUF) now stand as one of the best emergency units in Southeast Asia.
As they celebrate their 25th anniversary on September 13, the group looked back at how they started with only few old junked vehicles at their disposal during emergencies.
Dr. Jesus Ravanes, over all chairperson of the ERUF silver jubilee celebration, told The FREEMAN how proud their team is to have become one of best emergency teams in Asia. Ravanes said they have exceeded other emergency units in Metro Manila, Makati and Davao City with their relentless efforts in the past years.
They are the only accredited and recognized medical team by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) based in the United States of America together with another emergency medical service (EMS) team in Hong Kong.
NAEMT is a professional association representing all EMS practitioners, including paramedics, emergency medical technicians, first responders and other professionals working in pre-hospital emergency medicine throughout the globe.
In their aim to “serve so others may live,” ERUF has worked the path of sacrifice and true service as they are now recognized by various agencies in America and the European Union.
Though with only minimal supports from local government units where they serve, volunteers have exceeded what the forefathers of ERUF have dreamed in the past – to be world class.
Since 1986, ERUF has grown in terms of manpower, accomplishments both locally and abroad. The group which started with only 24 men has grown to an army of 300 well-trained and selfless personnel.
ERUF has also extended their world class knowledge by training barangay volunteers in Paramedic Training operations like the very active Pardo Emergency Rescue Unit.
With over 31 vehicles used in various purposes from emergency response and rescue, ERUF is one of the most equipped EMS team in the country.

Minsa'y natuwa ang Maylikha
Pitong libong pulo ang ginawa
Mga hiyas na inilatag
Sa mala-sutlang dagat
At ang bayan Niyang pinili
Nasa dulo ng bahaghari
Kaya't isanlibong kulay
Nang-aakit, kumakaway
Chorus:
Piliin mo rin ang Pilipinas
Kapuluang kwintas ng perlas
Piliin mo, yakapin mo
Kayamanan niyang likas
Piliin mo ang Pilipinas
Kasayahang di mabatid
Ramdam sa bawat awit
Sa masisiglang indak
Mga puso'y lumilipad
Repeat Chorus
At ang ngiti ng Maykapal
Taglay ng bawat nilalang
May lambing na dumuduyan
Sa buong pakiramdam
Repeat Chorus
Dito ay itinadhana
Araw, buwan, at mga tala
Ganap na magniningning
Kailan ma'y 'di magdidilim
If you know
what I'm talking about
Suitcase in the house
with the party sound
First choice, first love
if ya'll ask around
We gonna Choose Philippines!
Come on shout it out
Everybdy's gonna dance to this
I see the whole world
party in the Philippines
Philippines now with Angeline
Quinto, Bueno on
the TV screen hey!
This is like a samba
From Rio to Manila
will be hitting on drums ya
Shake, shake it off
on beats of life
No more drama and shout
We gonna Choose Philippines!
No one other
The world keeps talking
But we aint walking
We keep on dancing
That's how we rock it
7,107 islands of beauty
See pieces of heaven
Piliin mo rin ang Pilipinas
(Choose Philippines choose)
Piliin mo rin ang Pilipinas
(We gotta Choose Philippines)
Piliin mo rin ang Pilipinas
(Choose Philippines choose)
Piliin mo rin ang Pilipinas
Repeat Chorus Twice
