An afternoon at the fortress

Photos show some students I chanced upon near the belfry while waiting for visitors of the Punta Diamante this 14th of August at the parish grounds of St. James the Greater in Bulusan.

The belfry, locals simply call as the kampanaryo, is the most prominent structure of the diamond-shaped Punta Diamante fortress that encloses the church grounds of around 2 hectares.

Santol fruits and the village kids

If you grew up in the countryside or even in the town center of a rural town chances are that you can easily relate to the photo spread. Simple joys can be had easily with the help of santol fruits from a neighbor's backyard (with or without the owner's consent). An afternoon 'party' only kids could easily whip up any moment as seen in this 'santol session' (photos) can happen spontaneously. It does not matter if the fruits are of the sweet or sour variety. A pinch of salt is always ready.
