It
was summer of 1994. I was about to enter as a college freshman in Manila. And
what better way to do fasting for Holy Week than doing an Alay Lakad from Pasig
City going to Antipolo Church.
Distance didn't factor to me as I was then built for longer distance walking - coming from a remote island in Sibuyan - where I practically grew up going to school walking a total of 4 kilometers (twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon) everyday. So that night of Apirl 9, we walked at a normal pace from an assembly point somewhere in Ortigas in Pasig City heading to Antipolo City, Rizal where our last pit stop was in front of Antipolo church.
