When the team gathered to warm up with the weapons, we were located along a busy boulevard, partly shielded by some trees, but it wasn’t enough to block the sound and the action of the team practicing with swords and shields. After the recon mission, everyone hit the hotel gym to limber-up after the long flight from LA to Manila. The team found a place in front of the hotel where they could do some practicing. Sporting the #chivalryinaction logo tee shirts, the team created a stir at the breakfast buffet – especially some of the more ‘hungry’ Knights, who may have set new buffet records.Īfter breakfast it was time for a reconnaissance mission to find a place to break out the swords and shields later.

The first full day in Manila for the Chivalry in Action Team presented a chance to explore the hotel and the area nearby. We are looking forward to getting to work! Today will be a training day for the Knights, preparing some sword-fighting scenarios in case we get a chance to show off our skills for the Red Cross and World Vision tomorrow. It’s rewarding to see that the contribution we will be making is appreciated.Īrriving in Manila, we cleared Customs and Immigration and we met our guide from World Vision, Margrette Patena, and she expedited our travel and check in at the hotel. The flight attendants (who seemed a little wary of us at first) warmed up to our presence when they found out what we were doing on our visit. When we told them we were on our way to help with the humanitarian efforts in the disaster-stricken area, without pause, each of them thanked us for our effort and contribution.

Six (large) guys, mostly with ponytails boarding a flight to Manila drew some strange, inquiring looks and a few Filipino returning home asked us what we’re doing in the Philippines. The team was in high spirits, vaccination accomplished, passports ready, and a 15 hour flight in front of us. The Chivalry in Action team embarked from LA on a flight to Manila, the first leg of our journey to Talcoban, the site of relief efforts from Typhoon Hayian.
