Happy Birthday Mama Mary

Well, I know that I am one day late but that does not mean I can not post this. I was heading home when I noticed this on the side of the road. I really do not know if when was this placed since I have been cruising this road time and time again.

It was only this time that I have noticed this and perhaps just right in time for Mama Mary's Birthday. So Let me say.. Happy Birthday Mama Mary....


Well if you take a closer look, you would see the image of Mama Mary inside this natural hole of the tree. This is in Canjulao, Lapu-lapu City. If your from the Lapu-lapu City Central School, heading towards Babag, then you will be passing this tree located on the right side.


Here, take a closer look:


Perhaps if you pass the road try to stop over the site, say Hi to Mama Mary.

Recycle and Help Save The Environment

What do you do with plastic containers after using them? Do you throw them away or recycle. Stopping over the terminal in Trento, Davao Del Sur, I could not help myself but take a picture of this guy who was sitting in the terminal doing his craft....

The tools of the trade were plastic bottles, straws, a cutter, a lighter and a lot of creativity and imagination. I would say that this guy is really talented. I forgot to ask his name since the bus was about to pull out already. However, he agreed that I would take pictures of his project.

After a few cuts and heat on a straw, he manage to make a flower out of it and attached it to the plastic bottle that he formed into a tree....

The finished product.....



Truly the Filipino has a lot of skills. Perhaps the only thing that we lack is support.

Only In The Philippines....

I was heading on my way to Davao from Butuan as we pass along Agusan Del Sur. What captured my attention was the tricycle plying the route. Of course we all know that tricycles are common modes of transportation in all corners of our country. They come in different designs but they all have one thing in common... they are driven by a single motorcycle. Well if you take a look at this, you will surely be amazed and perhaps would say... ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES....



Driving this will surely need great skills to balance. A little shift or movement from one passenger will surely create and impact along the run and could cause an accident. But nevertheless people take the risk of riding and as our bus pass along, I took a glimpse of the passengers faces... they are not bothered at all.

Well perhaps what is important for them is that they arrive at their destination and that they are used to such kind of transportation. I just can't help but wonder.. what if the load is not balance, is it manageable?

As our bus cruise along the road, I found my answer......


An amazing skill of balancing and driving. Well, what can I say.. ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES!
