Banaue II
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009
We have to bring the Anfra from Manila to Zamboanga which is going to be a 3-day road trip 24/7. That means it has to be in top condition. Where to go? - Banaue. No, not in Ifugao, but a street in Quezon City. We weren’t prepared for this but here it is: car accessories and repair shops line up this whole stretch of street. Minor repairs were done on the sidewalk. You will hear old upholstery ripped apart, dents were hammered out then polished with sandpaper and steel wool. Whirring sound of portable electric saws and planers fill the air. One by one a drove of mechanics came to us, inspecting the car like surgeons. The engine was already overhauled but it has no air conditioning so we came for a fan which ended up being installed on the dashboard. The old rubber lining of the windows was replaced with new ones. They suggested shiny new tire rims and mufflers and mudguards. How about a new car eh? They were in a frenzy making improvements on an old rickety wheels. Any car owner will feel like owning a Ferrari by the attention it gets. If nothing else, this was a good way to feel like royalty.
