My Cid's Garden is geographically seated in North PI (Philippine Islands), considerably urbanized in regards to amenities available within its outskirts. The property is in a community whom locals knows each other. The area is visited by neighboring towns and tourists to shop while it can get busy at times, this place has its own story to tell where locals are the only historians who can share the
m experiences, funny ones are surely are party starters. A good concentration of recruit were drafted in the area to work in various plantations in Hawaii before WWII, one of whom was my late grandfather Fernando Magarro. If you take a look at a syllogism angle; The area is Hawaii, Hawaii is part Ilocos Norte, Hawaii then has marunggay. Being in a locality where everyone knows everybody, interacting with the locals is not as difficult especially with honest intentions. To non-Filipino speakers, English is taught in school, so most of them who went to school and did their homework can communicate in English. But of a little accent, ask to slow down a bit, common hand language may help.
