Green, Green, and More Green@ Nueva Ecija

We were on our way to Baler last March. In our drive to the eastern border of the Philippines, we had to cover the vast plains of Central Luzon, mostly via the NLEX and then TPLEX. Then we had to exit the Expressway and go eastward to Nueva Ecija. The first part of the drive remained easy, with us mostly driving through the flat lands with vast rice fields covering as far as the eyes can see. Then we approached the mountains and slowly ascended to long and winding roads cutting through the high and mighty Cordillera. We continued moving with the zigzag road and the sharp curves until we ended in a valley, with these beds of lush green, arranged in almost perfect terraces and surrounded by tall mountain ranges, signals that we have just crossed one mountain. We decided to pull over to just let the experience sink in and appreciate the beauty that is almost impossible to resist. We walked through the "pilapil" to see the onions growing and waiting for harvest. #nature #naturalwonders
