I grew up traveling the stretch of Maharlika Highway that traverses Sto. Tomas and Alaminos in Batangas and San Pablo in Laguna, to get to Tiaong Quezon. Summers with the family were spent in a bahay kubo there, as it was spent in the then untouched beaches of Guis-Guis. Those trips were quick and easy, very rarely were we held up in traffic or get lost in the changing landscape caused by development.
