Staying in Mega Manila for the past 22 years has been very rewarding. It has enriched my life experience as someone who originally come from the province. But as I grew older my spirit and even my body long for serenity, green, and clean air. In big cities, you are being bombarded day after day by all kinds of pollution. Your everyday life is full of stress. Plus the heavy traffic, fear of being caught in a traffic violation while driving or even walking, snatchers, etc...are other hassles in life.
In the province, I have enjoyed a more simple lifestyle. When I am driving I feel more like a king, No traffic officer has apprehended me in the past 5 years despite the many lapses in my driving.
My health has improved significantly. I used to have phlegm most of the time and I could feel my health is really declining.
The photos I posted here are not very far from the very heart of Trece Martires, in fact its is just around 100 meters away from the city hall. There are lots of clean creeks, such as seen in the pictures, around the city. By seeing these I hope probinsyanos (From the province)who are staying in metro Manila or even abroad can remember their good old days.
