Travel really makes us feel young. MBOpinions READ:
“We came from Talim Island. We brought our priest back to the mainland by boat,” they explained. “Sir, may we ask how old are you and where you came from?” I replied “61, and I come from Cavite, and I just went around Laguna de Bay, starting at sunrise, travelling on jeepneys.”Saying that made me feel victorious. Laguna de Bay loop by public transportation was something I always wanted to do.
After breakfast, I went straight to the terminal of jeepneys going further south. My next destination was Santa Cruz, and I saw a half-empty jeepney waiting for passengers. I asked how much for a senior citizen to Santa Cruz and the driver replied, “₱60.” It took a while for the jeepney to be filled up, but I was enjoying myself looking at the things being peddled at the terminal, from peanuts to sandwiches to mineral water to ear phones.
After Pangil, it was a short jeepney ride to Siniloan where I had lunch at a local market before boarding another jeepney bound for Jala-Jala. The ride to Jala-Jala was the most scenic as the jeepney had to navigate through the lakeside road of the peninsula overlooking the lake. I was the only passenger when the jeepney arrived in Jala-Jala. I actually felt guilty asking the driver for senior discount as the missionary route does not get many passengers.
