Hello Steemians! Have you tried to ride while standing and jump along with other passengers as the truck crossed in a bumpy and uphill road? It is truly fun and breathtaking experience.
In the province of Eastern Samar, you will find the island of Homonhon. It is one of the tourist spot in the Philippines. It's red soil and white sand beaches highlights the island tour. Setting aside those attractions and indulge the way of living of the people, you will see how simple yet satisfying life they have.
What struck me the most was this dusty truck - the only means of transportation to reach the other side of the island. People need to wake up at dawn to prepare and be ready at exactly 5 in the morning. Before the sun will rise,the truck will find its way to each barangay. Then they will wait for hours to take them home. It is quite a sacrifice but a blessing for the community.
Thank you for reading. 😊
