Being a city dweller, I sometimes find myself wondering how many people still believe that goodness still prevail. In the city where every chance seems to drive each people to bring out their inner beast, in this jungle where survival is at its sophisticated form. Where everyone seems to smile but are really cautious and dubious, swift to change and put up their defensive walls to protect themselves from others.
Being away from the place where everything else is a competition and seeing the world in the eyes of contented and satisfied people somehow brings me comfort. It makes one feel at ease and free from the burden of holding up a defensive wall, a place where I can trust people and where they too trust me back. To be taken care of and be treated as a distant relative. One of the few places where untainted and real Filipinos lives in harmony with one another, with nature and God.
This and more are the reasons why I am mesmerized by the beauty of the Mountain Province. It is here where I almost always feel at home, safe and secure. This is one of those happy places for me where my soul is at peace with nature, myself and my Creator.
