This is a photo and video journal of our family outing to Cagayan De Oro City, Mindanao Island, in the Philippines. This is supposed to be our first out-of-town trip after the pandemic.
My former employer assigned me to do the renovation works of the EDSA-AYALA FOOTBRIDGE located on top of the most busiest highway in the Philippines. I was only given 45 days duration to complete the project. So my team worked 24 hours a day with morning and evening shift, for 7 days a week. The Ayala Property Management where we get our contract stipulated that we cannot close this footbridge while undergoing renovation. The safety of the pedestrian walking and the running vehicles underneath is a major challenge that put my construction management skill into really tough test.

Traveling AS IT IS! - is unedited video footage of my traveling experience. My concept of traveling is riding public transportation, a road trip from home to a job destination or just a stroll around the neighborhood. You can hear, feel and see the “REAL” sights & sounds of a place or destination that are usually not tourist trail. There is a lot of street food to taste, adventures to seek, lots of local people to meet as well as fellow travelers wanting to share their own personal experiences. ENJOYING LIFE - AS IT IS!

In this road trip, I am going to an ocular inspection of our construction project in Makati City. I started early in the morning and navigated the busy streets of EDSA Hi-way passing thru several cities of Metro Manila. The construction of our project in Makati City is in full swing composing of two (2) towers. Then also, I included in the video our dinner with one of my favorite Filipino street food, the PARES – meaning pair. It’s a thick soup of beef meat and other internal organs then paired with rice.
