Just a few of the many precocious kids in our neighbourhood who love to climb (and jump off) the broken-down jeepney parked on the other side of our wall, and with whom Dad has made friends. He is particularly popular for teaching them Boxing, and it is not unusual to hear a chorus of young voices from the other side of the gate entreating "Tito Mario" to set aside his gardening to run their Erstwhile Sunday Afternoon Children's Boxing Club of Lubong Road.
