About a week ago, my job brought me to the northern part of the Philippines. Isabela was the destination... I had two options in getting there. By bus or by plane. A 16-hour bus ride or a 1-hour plane... the latter though has a tendency to be delayed worst cancelled.
I took the latter though... to save time. But, luck wasn't in my side during our departure... we were all on board the plane and about to take off when the plane experienced technical problems. Some of the passengers got angry... others cursed. I'd rather give thanks than curse... thanks that it experienced the problem before it took off. What could've happened to us when it experienced the problem in flight?
Our 11:45 am departure was moved to 1:00 pm. Not bad. Though teh airline could've provided us with lunch.
Our flight did not take us straight to Isabela, we landed in Tuguegarao, Cagayan about 3 hours away from Santiago City, which I believe is Isabela's business center.

My trip to San Guillermo, an interior town of Isabela gave me another look of the countryside. What my fellow Filipinos at the other side of the country are producing. The things that keep them busy.
Philippines, is an agricultural country per se... and so is the province of Isabela.
