Merry Christmas to all our readers and followers.

Here are some unusual views at Morong Rizal.  One reason why I usually stop  - to take pictures for this site.

I like the peace and quiet as I ride up to Bugarin. It is just a battle between myself, the gravity, the wind, as I pedal up Bugarin.  There I can admire its pristine beauty.  The difficulty toughens me up, they beauty gives me back my sense of self and sanity from the week's pressure and work.  I like it here, albeit briefly, so with other bikers.

Did you notice this on the way up to Bugarin? Gift wrapping the mango fruits?

Merry Christmas to one and all.

                                   I thought these were Christmas decors?!

As I biked  up to Bugarin today, I noticed something unusual, past KM 61 and approaching KM 62. The manggahan.  The growing mango fruits were wrapped in paper bags. And there were thousands and thousands of them.

Curious, I asked what is happening from the persons near the mango trees.

Well they say they are doing that to protect the fruits from insects which destroys the fruits.  It costs P0.25 each to cover the fruits.  One package contains l00 paper bags, for a deal of P25.00.  Young boys from Cebu and Bohol are doing this job.   Now we know!


                                Those dropped paper bags are paid



                                   One pack is 100 pcs and each worker gets P25.00 per pack
