The adviser was surprised when she saw the Philippine Serpent Eagle with another eagle which smaller were put already in the big cage that is located at the southern part of the road going to Paraiso proper.  When the bigger eagle saw them, it flew and flew and it seemed it was very happy and was shouting so the group was trying to let it more happy by answering its shouts by shouts also.  Cherry Mae Ranga went up to the cage to see if the eagles have something to eat and water to drink.  The bigger eagle was given by Mrs. Myrna Gonzales from Macayepyep and the smaller was given from a folk of Bangsar, Banna, Ilocos Norte.  The adviser told the group that the eagles are signs of progress.

The group left Paraiso at 11:00 A.M.
The night of that day, Prof. Flordelina B. Utleg, delivered her Introduction of the Guest Speaker in Ilocano because the Bgy. Chairman requested her to use Ilocano language.  The audience was very attentive listening to her.  Before she asked to stand the Guest Speaker, she asked permission from the audience which composed of thousands of people to allow her to deliver a poem first.  During the delivery of her poem, she noticed that the guest speaker had a very sweet smile looking at her with his seatmates and also she heard positive comments from the people near her.
The copy of the poem to the Guest Speaker of Prof. Flordelina B. Utleg:

After the raffle draw, the group from Northwestern University headed by Prof. Flordelina B.

During the distribution of certificates, they requested the adviser to conduct another seminar on Personality Development again because they learned a lot from it.  They told her that they cannot forget the words, “I love you” to tell to people they love and to their friends and to hug and kiss them.  Some hugged and kissed her with all their hearts.  The group handed all the certificates of the pupils and students who participated during the tree planting activities and the adviser told the Principal of Caribquib Elementary School, Mrs. Vilma Delos Reyes Bagay, that she will award the certificates during their Recognition Day.
 
When the Vice-Mayor arrived, Hon. Carlito Abadilla II, went to the adviser and they shook hands and said to her with a sweet smile, “it is good that we meet here again, “manang” and he seated beside her for few minutes.
 
The program was very great. There was a part of the program, a presentation from Northwestern University.  Romelyn dela Cruz, the CTE-SO President, Mariecris Duldulao, the CTE-SO Treasuruer, and Cherry Mae Ranga, the CTE ASTER President, delivered a song entitiled, “I Can.”  The group joined the dance program and the adviser was asked to decorate some of the Princesses.
 
There was a dance competition in “Kendeng-kendeng” by the different “Puroks”.  Mr. Eddie Paguirigan, a balikbayan, put P500.00 in front in some of the groups when they performed and gave P1,000.00 to other groups and  some loving people also added amounts to it.
 
Hon. Adonis B. Manuel delivered the Closing Remarks.  He thanked also Northwestern University in helping his own barangay most especially in developing “Paraiso.”  He requested that Northwestern University will continue its community extension services to them so that Paraiso ti Caribquib will be visited by more tourists.
 
Before Mayor Abadilla went home, he went to the group of Prof. Utleg with all his smiles. The Mayor asked Prof. Utleg first if when they will come again to Paraiso.  She said that she is planning to go again  on January 21, 2011 to plant santan plants and salaysay plants. Then he asked her about the President of Northwestern University, “How is Liza?”  She answered that she is fine and so good in running the educational institution.  Then he asked again about Col. Willy Nicolas and Col. Roy Nicolas.  She said that she rarely see them and told him that maybe they are busy with their other businesses. 
 
During their conversation, one member of the group took a picture on them and after their conversation, the members went with them to have picture taking.  The Mayor was jokingly said with them, “Ah its better if I will carry your adviser” and the members laughed.  Romelyn was complaining that she is hardly seen in the group, so the Mayor told her that she will stay between the adviser and him and Romelyn smiled.  Lastly, she requested that they will have picture taking through her cellphone.  Eyes of people were on them during the picture taking.
 
Mr.  Michael Calaramo, the Manager of the Botanical Garden of Northwestern University, promised to Prof. Utleg on the night of December 21, 2011 that he will go with them but unfortunately, he was not able fulfill his promised. 
 
Barangay Kagawad, Rolando Ranga and Barangay Chairman, Hon. Adonis B. Manuel, dropped them by in Laoag City.  The group greeted the Chairman a happy birthday by singing the “Happy Birthday” song when they were on their way to Laoag.  He thanked them with all his heart and wished that Northwestern University will not stop in helping them.
 
The Barangay Fiesta was indeed a very successful one.  The group was well entertained.  They never got hungry because they always offered snacks and meals. It was a very great and unforgettable experience for the CTE-SO officers and adviser.
