I just happened to find one of my old pictures way back in the Philippines during the Librarian's seminar in Aurora Baler where I attended. After our session we take a walk and ended up in the park wherein a country's Millennium Tree centuries-old balete can be found.
"This park contains a 600-year-old balete tree that was designated the official "Millennium Tree" of The Philippines. It is the largest tree of its kind in Asia, and it would take 60 grown men, holding one another at arm's length, to encircle its gigantic trunk.
Due to its age, the tree's thick roots have grown above ground, such that caves have formed under various sections of the trunk. This unique tree has generated national media attention and is now the most visited tourist spot in Aurora."
My friends dared me to go inside the cave but I got really scared thinking I might get lost inside and never get out (lol!) Check this out.
