📌 Meeting Place: I will be waiting at the Battle of Mactan painting inside Mactan Shrine — it’s one of the key highlights of the site. I’ll be there a few minutes before the tour starts, ready to greet you. 🔎 How to Recognize Me: I’ll be wearing a “Love the Philippines” ID sling and carrying a small sign that says “Your Guru”. Look for a friendly face and a warm smile — I’m excited to guide you through the rich stories of Mactan!
