an Igorot stared at death in the face….

TUesday morning on my way to work, my taxi figured in a head-on collision..huh!! yes dearies, i had the scare of my life watching an Innova come straight at us in a one-way flyover which had “no-entry” signs posted over it.

im okay by the way, just bumped my shin on the frontseat, but anyways going back to my story..so there was I and the driver dazed at  what had just happened, so shocked i couldn’t even get out of the taxi, had to gather my wits for a few minutes..then  i texted my tita at the inn whom i was supposed to meet. she came to my rescue right away, then texted also The Hubby who got so worried but assured him i was fine..Oh my!! it was the first time for me to encounter such, it was a shaking experience..had both drivers been on full speed, only God knows where we’ll be right now..

They say taga-Manila daw sila, their first time in Baguio City and on their way to La Trinidad, probably to visit the Strawberry Farms. Said they never saw a sign saying it was not allowed to enter, when in fact there was a HUGE sign that says so..Talk about responsible driving, well i hope they learn a lesson from us Igorots who are responsible people. Had it been a jeep that they crashed into, more lives could have been burdened.It is irritating for people who come up to the mountains and make it a reason na “taga-Manila” daw sila!! so what!!! aside from entering one-way zones, they make u-turns where it is not possible, honestly you guys are the ones responsible for traffic jams in our city! accidents too! and then you display yourselves so arrogantly! you call whoever it is in authority to patch things up and then make it look like us Igorots are the ones ignorant of laws,how shameful! Adding up to this is the insult you always inflict on us even when you are already stepping on Igorot land..my!my!my! But adding up all this, it won’t topple our pride of being a tribe, for one we Igorots can always adapt to any culture and society we get into, but you Manila people can NEVER, EVER blend into any culture other than your own, which can not even be called a culture. Ti Igorot uray ipalladaw mo ijay Manila wenno America ket maka-blend in..nu taga-Manila haan da ammo makibagay ti dadduma. haaayy!!! 

MY family always takes the taxi when we go out, i can never be thankful enough that I was alone when it happened. Not with my precious kids and Babe..Most of all, am really thankful to the Lord for shielding us from any worst case scenario that might have happened…God is good! All the Time!
