So tired!!!


The people from the areas covered by the St. Hannibal Homeowners Association Phases I and II were very happy and enthusiastic upon knowing the date of the Inauguration of their housing project and the groundbreaking of the BPI property on October 29, 2006 – knowing then that the main guest is no other than the President of the Republic of the Philippines, GLORIA MACAPAGAL ARROYO. Preparations for the said event was then started. The excitement turn into pure energy when on September 18, 2006 the Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC) announced the coming of the Vice President of the Philippines NOLI DE CASTRO for the awarding of BPI lot to the beneficiaries on September 21, 2006. The different committees were immediately organized and the rush preparations began. The people concern, especially the officers of St. Hannibal Christian Community, worked together enduring the heat of the sun while cleaning the vast BPI property, spent sleepless nights for the decorations and arrangements of stage, tables and chairs, had music practice and all those kind of stuffs.
