Church Anniversary in Cavite
Last weekend I got to go to the eleventh anniversary of a church in Cavite, which is in the province just South of Manila. My friend Bob used to be a pastor at another church in that province, and was asked to sing in the anniversary and share about the ministries he is doing among his people, the Kalanguya, in the province of Nueva Vizcaya.

Behind the Church
After the church anniversary, I sat behind the church and talked with some of the people that I met there.
On a Tricycle
These flowers seem to be common here. I recently saw some poor children selling them in the street.
More Still Life From the Philippines
The yellow fruit is Dragon Fruit, the green thing is a Bitter Gord (very popular and very healthy with a delicious bitter taste), then there's the tiny red peppers (a popular ingredient, but extremely hot), a few more Rumbutan, and a gigantic carrot.

EDSA, the national highway
Notice how people don't drive in straight lines and don't really use the lanes. They like to just find a space anywhere and drive in it.
Gutom ka na ba?
Here's some "masarap"(delicious) fruits that are common in the Philippines. Left to right-dalandan, rambutan, lansones, atis, and a guava.
Mangosteens
Mangosteens are extremely sweet and have a great taste. You only eat the seven white things inside, though, and they're kind of expensive.
Close-up of Rambutan
These are one of my favorites. They’re very sweet. When they're really fresh, they sometimes squirt you when you open them.
guyabano
This is a guyabano. It's white on the inside. It has a stronger taste than the atis, but is also sweet and very delicious.
Kalamansi
People often squeeze these onto their food, or mix their juice with soy sauce and put the mixture onto their food. They're similar to small, round limes, but I think their taste is unique.
