October
4, 2013 a shocking news came out. While I was on my way home around
5:13 in the afternoon my cellular phone beeped thrice, upon opening it, a
text messages from my niece named Em em who is assigned to teach in a
private school in our Barangay, the Lipol Grace Academy. The
message informed that there is now a signal of telecommunication in
our place. At first, I did not mind the text because I thought it
was all a joke, yet I went to the store and loaded my TM SIM and called her
because I wanted to prove if it's really true. I dialed her number
and she talked to me, the signal was clear and they were a shouting
because of happiness and excitement because they were able to hear my
voice. I could say that it was the first "Hello" from our house using
the phone. It was true that the TM signal had conquered our place. At last, the
long wait is over, for a century of waiting, Lipol Sarangani Davao del Sur can
be reached in just a fingertip through telecommunication. Right now, I am so
thankful because I could easily talked to my mother even if its thousand
miles away from here in General Santos City, same with my students and teachers
in Lipol Grace Academy. Our place is now
progressing with the help of telecommunications, thanks to TM and GLOBE
