The road to Greenhill Village
My second degree Aunt invited us to her house blessing at Greenhill Village geographically located at the meek town of President Roxas in the Province of North Cotabato. I always heard about the place from my brother-in-law who frequently visited the village for some reasons. I heed to the invitation of my aunt to celebrate with her family on her house blessing because I was so curious to set my feet in there since I heard a lot about her small village. I love travelling from urban to suburban, from unindustrialized municipalities to highly sophisticated cities, from one country to another, from critical area to a peaceful community, from a traffic congested town to a lonesome place. Bottom line here, simply I just love to travel because in travelling I discover myself too as I discover how beautiful this world is.

And travelling to Greenhill Village was not a disappointment. I got to enjoy the green scenery of the place. The road was smooth and every one can well traverse from it and you will get to enjoy a roller coaster ride in a positive slope. I say roller coaster because the zigzag snake-like road was build in a mountain. On your right you will see the greenly mountain with rice crops, fruits and many plants and on your left you will see a deep cliff which most likely 100+ meters  above sea-level. Any one false move and you will find yourself dismembered at the bottom of the mountain.  The breeze was cold and the weather was so fine. The picturesque view that captured my heart was when we arrived at the place. It seemed to be I was few meters away from heaven. From the hill, you can actually see the whole province wide of North Cotabato. You don’t need photoshop nor corelle draw to appreciate this picture-perfect panoramic site. The clouds, the blue sky, the mountains, the trees, the houses, the river, the colors of other things  all compliment each other that one will just simply grasps his breath upon seeing the wonderful scene.

The place was really cool because it is different from the hustle and bustle of a city life. I truly believe that there are still lots of things you can enjoy for free in this world. If you will live in Greenhill Village, you don’t need to buy a cooler or air condition to keep your self hydrated and cool because the place per se whether you are inside the house or outside you  will still enjoy a cold and gentle breeze which is not coupled with pollutants from factories, vehicles and others. In other words –it has free fresh air. You don’t need to buy fresh flowers from the shop to beautify your house or garden because one can plant any variety of flowers and vegetables.  The climate suits any plants. Standard of living is not so high because products and good are very much affordable. Fruits, vegetables, crops and spices are plenty, you can actually just ask from your neighbor a vegetable that you lack to be added on what you are cooking and you will get it for free. Status of living is neither sophisticated nor luxurious but mind you living in this place will give you a sense of belonging, peace of mind and healthy body that no amount of luxury or sophistication can equal too.

So if you are planning to settle to a well-sounded life, try Greenhill Village. You can have a vacation house as a scapegoat to the complexities of urban living. Or simply just visit the place, to enjoy a nature roller coaster ride and appreciate God’s perfect creation.
