Ligaya Rd. - Seb and Company

In less than a minute, we were on a steep climb with our vehicles on Ligaya Road—that meant Happiness Road in English—but considering what happened around this area, it was the complete and total opposite.

The immediate vicinity looked like an aftermath of a protest or a rally. And instead of garbage or whatever signage they brought littering the ground, it was replaced with headless corpses that were either getting feasted on by flies and maggots or slowly turning into the most fucked up jerky due to the heat of the sun.

Despite that, the view on this climb could still be immaculate if we looked to our left because the Taal Volcano and its lake were still present in all its glory. I even went there once in one of the field trips we had at school but that was a story for another time.

'It's one of the few things left untouched though… Still beautiful…'
