Biking and good health
Papa Ric and Bayabas
I have wondered why a fellow biker is callled Bayabas. I was with him from Bilibiran up to Morong this morning. He also joined us on our ride home today.
Edwin, his cousin told me the story:)
When Bayabas was just starting to bike, he ran short of breath while in Mambog. His cousin saw him and Bayabas said he could not see anything (sign of lack of oxygen going to the brain) Edwin looked for bayabas (guava leaf) to revive him. He was advised to go home.
The following week he biked again and this time, Mr. de Leon was more adventurous and went to Morong (at Maybancal. Again he had the same symptoms. Edwin was there and he again looked for guava leaves and was able to revive Mr de Leon.
From thereon, he was baptized, a.k.a. "Bayabas"
