We also noticed this two signs; Masanting and Napintas, looks like we are now in a different world.

Our team energizes with the roasted chicken with rice as our breakfast @ Siesta restaurant.

From there we ride a tricycle and we noticed that the language being used by our driver is Ilocano.

This camp was really a blessing for us and we learn something new that we can keep in our hearts forever.

Thanks to the Pastors and Missionaries who participated during the camp.

The food was so great!

This is the first time we eat Tupig that we brought in the roadside.

Pastor Israel brings us to Mabalacat Bus Terminal for our travel by bus to manila.

we said good bye and thank Pastor Israel.

That day we are supposed to ride a bus but it was so crowded that day because of the New Year rush hour.

Thank God He gave us the opportunity to ride a VIP type luxury van (Ford E150)

This van already bring a VIP from Clark and this van will now goes to manila the driver decides to take us on board so he can earn little and he wanted to help us.

The van takes us from DAU to Edsa Central in Mandaluyong for our connecting ride to Tanay, Rizal.

God was so good because we do not need to be in the crowded bus.

OK here is it we don't have the actual picture because we are in a hurry that day. (Ford E150)
