Day 248 - 1:25 PM - Barangay Sayao, Municipality of Sibonga, Province of Cebu
"Who are you?"
Emilio stared at Mark, asking that question. He was not only referring to Mark but his group as a whole.
The three people sitting beside Emilio remembered the time after they encountered Mark and his group.
Back then, everyone was rather displeased due to their sudden departure from Madrijelos. There was no time to prepare, and everyone had to rush. The displeasure grew when one of the soldiers in the meeting slipped up, and everyone learned that the reason for their departure was the words of a mere outsider.
Fortunately, despite the displeasure, no one decided to split up. It was all due to the trust Emilio built up towards the members of their community. And so far, his instincts and actions never let them down.
