The PRRM YEARS...Back home

The Social Leadership Course graduation was on May, 1971. Before I returned to the Philippines, I was invited by my cousin Bert Carganilla, also a member of PRRM batch '67 to visit him in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. He resigned from PRRM in 1969 and migrated to the USA.

I visited Bert on the later part of May, 197l. I was in the US for about a month where I visited some relatives in the neighboring states. Bert was convincing me then not to return to the Philippines. He said that I could easily find employment in the US and immigration was not yet very strict at the time. But I was very idealistic then and wanted to share my knowledge learned to "our less fortunate brothers in the rural areas".

I returned to the Philiippes in July, 1971 and reported for work with PRRM.
