(Chicago) – Many years ago, I participated in a mission trip, organized by my church in Manila, to a province in the Bicol region which is eastern part of the Philippines. I was so young then that I couldn’t remember the details of this trip but 2 things I can clearly recall still: the team was able to reach out effectively to the villagers so mission accomplished and the food served to us while we were there was stupendously good. All of the dishes from appetizer to dessert are coconut-based. Little did I know back then, Bicol is famously known for its coconut.
Just a soul enjoying the ride
