Visitors from the South

Last month in August, I had visitors from the South ( Tagaytay and Manila). For a time, I have been teaching at the Divine Word School of Theology (DWST) in Tagaytay City.  Some friends over there came to see Sa Kabukiran in August 24-25 for an overnight stay. They were Dra. Maritz, Bing, Grace and Gina. They were joined by Resty, also a colleague studying at DWST. The trip Sa Kabukiran was designed so that there would be both instruction and leisure. Since all these friends were students of the Bible at a certain point, we had some great inputs from Resty regarding the Jewish reading of scriptures. This was a timely input since Resty just arrived from a month long study in Israel.

We had a sumptuous lunch. I call these meals, Laklak meals. Laklak in tagalog means unmoderated greed especially in eating. Soon, I shall be offering up these laklak meals to tourists and travellers who may want to visit Sa Kabukiran as part of their food tripping. I guarantee you, it shall be a voracious experience!

My visitors really were dressed to become tourist in an unfamiliar terrain. The morning after, I toured them around the farm, around my Mom’s memorial kubo and took some pictures  of them with majestic Mt. Arayat at the background.


I’m sure that after spending a night Sa Kabukiran, my visitors from the south would have been filled with a great eating experience and with a calming and soothing experience with nature at the fields Sa Kabukiran. I hope that anyone wanting to have the same experiences as my visitors from the south would soon come flocking to this wonderful oasis we so loving call Sa Kabukiran.
