The most memorable Christmas I ever had. SO FAR.
Bye Bye beautiful mountains of Benguet
Road trip to Nueva Vizcaya
My family and I spent our Christmas break by going home to our wonderful province, Nueva Viscaya. We went there for several purposes; not only for spending our time to have our informal reunion with our relatives but also to execute our culture as highlanders (Igorot). We called for a mambunong (healer) to lead our praying session to our dead relatives for their souls.

And for me to enjoy my Christmas vacation there; I, my cousins, and aunt went to the river to collect some stones and to capture some photos. We sure had fun! But the stone collection is kinda my aunt’s idea. We also had our swimming lesson down the river and we stayed in the hanging bridge looking for the relaxing sceneries.

In our way home, we saw a traumatic accident happened along the road. We saw the victims coming up from the cliff where their jeepney fell. Luckily, no one died although all of the passengers got hurt. But there is one of the passengers who is seriously hurt and one of them is crying, worried about her father. From our car, we immediately came down and help them. Taking care and helping the victims calm down while my uncles went down the cliff helping the passenger ,who is badly hurt, to get out below the jeepney because it fell right in front of him right after he jumped from the window. So, we call the police and the ambulance but what do you expect? They are late as usual just like in the Filipino movies. So we used our car to take the victims to the hospital and we are left in the scene.

The dog ( I believe) is an angel watching over the passengers. This dog came from nowhere.
This is where the accident happened.

After the police and the ambulance came, we left and went home. When we are in the road, I was praying for the victims to be fine. I nearly cried when I saw the accident. It was my first time seeing an accident just in front of me. I don’t know what to do, I am panicking as well. And by that, I thought that maybe I can help them through my prayers. After that, we had some stopovers to eat and to have some photo shoot then we went home safely.
Road going home to Benguet. PRAYING.
