Due to my team mates uncontrollable hangover, we decided to stay in Cze's place in Los Banos which is actually inside the UPLB (University of the Philippines Los Banos) campus near the Forestry building. The rest of us then decided to have an 'impromptu' picnic at UPLB's soccer field.
UPLB Soccer FieldWe just bought siomai from Papu's, which I declare as the best siomai in the whooolleeee wiiidddeee wooooorrrllld!
Papu's Meal Four @ 30 pesos :) We just chose a spot where we can just lie down and rest and the best place that we could think of is under the famous Fertility Tree.
Fertility TreeHey, before you pack your bags and go to this place, hoping that you'll be blessed with a child after touching this tree, think again. It's called the Fertility Tree not because it will induce pregnancy. Since this tree is soooo big, lovers sometimes tend to spend their 'moments' under this tree, leaving traces or let me just say 'evidence' and when I say evidence, it means undies, condoms and I know you know what I'm talking about. All of these are brightly exposed under the sun the following morning, hence, it was called Fertility Tree.
It was such a welcome treat for us since the place is quiet and clean except for the fact that they lack garbage cans so we had to bring our trash when we left the place. The air was so fresh and it was just great to be away from city's traffic and pollution. What I like about Los Banos is that people there are environmentalists. Jeepneys are required to have their own trash cans and you are not allowed to smoke when you're inside the jeepney. Be extra careful when you're throwing even just a piece of candy wrapper because you will be approached by a volunteer from "Bantay Kalikasan" wearing civilian clothes and you will be reprimanded for not throwing the wrapper properly. You will also have to pay around 500-800 pesos as a fine for violating rules.
All in all, the place is great. Peaceful and yes, we will come back.
