KAWIT, CAVITE – One hot morning in September, this writer shot former Cavite Rep. Gilbert Remulla.

No, it was not triggered by a criminal intent, and, yes, he was unscathed and still standing, the orange spots on his vest still visible from a distance.

It was for a good cause – and fun – that journalists battled lawmakers in a paintball tournament called “Target Hope” on Sept. 26 at the Global Gutz arena of Island Cove Hotel and Leisure Park in Binakayan, this town.

Organized by the resort owners, the activity aimed to raise funds for Gawad Kalinga, a housing project for the poor of the Couples for Christ. “Through this initiative, Island Cove will either build a shelter or help sustain and develop the food productivity program in one of Gawad Kalinga’s sites in Cavite,” said Lea Remulla-Mate, its external relations officer.

Target Hope also launched the largest paintball field in the country, with an area of 8,000 square meters.
