Page 1 of 3 (Originally published in Philippine Daily Inquirer. With Permission from the author.)

Bebe Pimentel lent us was a squeaky non-aircon, box-type L300 that was older than my officemate’s teenaged son. But we had no reason to complain; our office doesn’t have a vehicle of its own for almost half a decade now. Unlike my officemates, I was tightlipped, unfazed. But like them, I also had a bagful of Alaxan stashed in my backpack. The ride from Tandag to KBR was bumpy, dusty, and infernal.
