The place was really beautiful what with the many rest houses and shades made of bamboo and nipa, well maintained lawn, fish ponds, swimming pool, Jacuzzi, lounging chairs, cool breeze and lots of green trees.

Food, drinks and fresh fruits were plenty.  Everyone just did what he or she feels like doing.  The affair was a real success!  The objective exceeded expectations.  And the RCST family remains strong as ever.  Mabuhay ang RCST!
