It was a fair Tuesday morning and the "travelling mood" was on. I was with my batchmates in PGH and we were excited to visit our community exposure sites in Cavite, Philippines. It was a 2-4hour ride from Metro Manila depending on the traffic situation. After a long and fun travel, we arrived in a simple and culturally preserved province where the people are happy and accommodating. One of the Municipal Halls in Cavite.
