Enchanted Farm
These are photos taken from our trip to one of the well established GK villages, Enchanted Farm in Bulacan. The pigs in the first photo above are generating methane waste that will be used as a natural gas source of energy. The kids in the 2nd and 3rd photos are members of the village Rondalla, an ensemble which consists of the Spanish Bandurria, guitars and drums.

Zoobic Bay
Ok, so it was Subic Bay we went to, and not Cebu. We will go to Cebu in a couple of weeks.
Instead, we took the whole family to Subic today in order to visit one of the outlets for Human Heart Nature, the business that sells products made by GK villagers. Marisol and her mom are considering throwing their support to Human Heart Nature, by becoming distributors.
Afterwards, we went to "Zoobic Safari," the local zoo. The kids had a blast, actually seeing tigers up close, as they ate chicken (like what you get from the grocery store, not live) from the hands of their feeders. The interesting part is that we were inside a caged safari truck, while the tigers were right up against the truck, eating from the openings in the caged bars. To further clarify the picture, the tigers were roaming free (as free as they could in a zoo setting) while we were in the truck, seeing the tigers crawling all over the truck to get to the food.
Theo even got a chance to get up on stage and have a snake put around his neck. He was a real trooper! The crowd loved him.
We also saw, among others, crocodiles, snakes, and ostriches.
Even saw some men dressed in native costume, doing ceremonial dances to please the crowd.
As much fun as we had, couldn't help hoping that the employees were paid well, and that the animals were treated well.
It was a long , but fun day.
