A CELEBRATION in song – the whisper of the cool mountain breeze, the gurgle of a creek, the swish of water meandering through the rocks, blending with the tweet of the tiny maya, the cooing of the batu-bato, the shriek of the tarat, the croak of the toad, the ribbit of the frog, the chirrup of the cicada, and far-off, the rhythmic call of the gecko – the very symphony of the forest.
A celebration in dance – butterflies flitting from flower to flower, the leaves of the trees fluttering, the bamboo swaying…
An Eden at the slope of majestic Mount Arayat, with all of God’s creation in celebration of the fullness of life.
Heaven on earth, the environmentalist Cecile Yumul says of this. God’s very own little corner in this part of the world, indeed it is.
No word can do justice to define it. Come to the Gintong Pakpak Eco Park. Live life’s fullness, if only for some fleeting moment.
