Welcomed by Ate Liza Serrano and the CLSF Mississauga leadership, they were driven to Markham at the beautiful house of Kuya Ed and Ate Vel Padua, the brother-in-law and the older sister of Ate Tanette, respectively, their home-away-from home where they always stay while in the Greater Toronto area.
