Mountain biking is one of my favorite pastimes for recreation. There are many places to ride in the Philippines; up the national roads, in the hills or on the back roads around the rice fields.
Today's ride took me past this statue of Mary overlooking a valley. Ninety percent of Filipinos call themselves Catholic, but old traditions of mysticism still prevail. One time we wanted to take a photo of a Filipino family of three, however they prefered that our son be in the photo as well since the number three is unlucky.
