KUPONDOL!

The Van der Veen house on the hill was a magnet for Filipinos. Aside from Ching’s cooking, or the supervision of her kitchen didi, and the general Van der Veen hospitality, there was the black Lhasa with the overbite, to play with (I’d forgotten its name, a relative of those given to the Umalis). Then there was Little Eric, who was a living baby doll!

Here we are, at one of their numerous functions at Kupondol.
