A DAY with the CHILDREN of BASECO

QB, Albert Almendralejo, Ralston Jover, Badilla Family, Lito's Family and students and volunteers from San Beda hosted a post-Christmas party for some 47 children from Baseco, Tondo. Baseco was earlier developed as a port to accommodate the arrival of Prince Charles on board the QE. It later became a shipyard, building and repairing ships from all over the world. It was abandoned in 1986 and remained unused to the present. Today, Baseco is the country's largest squatter settlement which can be compared to the Favelas of Brazil.
