With his Sinulog headdress and festive Sinulog and Visayan Pop music, Rhee Telen wants to remind arriving LSIs that Cebu is still the gateway to a thousand journeys, their festive home, despite the pandemic.Telen, 27, spent the last 20 years in about 20 residences. He and his family moved from different towns and provinces in the Visayas and Mindanao regions to follow his father who is a priest in Aglipayan Church.
“There is something in me that is bothered by terminals and mao na akong nakita sa mga bata when they come to the holding area…Considering nga these kids are from [Cebu province], mo-travel pa ni sila og another pila ka hours na pod. I needed to give them a break at least,” he said. Telen’s welcome candies for the kids, and sometimes for the adults, eventually grew into bite snacks, toys and even educational materials with the help of his friends and sister.
