GOING BACK TO NATURE: PARADISE RANCH
Last stop in our itinerary for this year's interdisciplinary tour comes with an experience with the nature, in Paradise Ranch in Clark, Pampanga. It is the perfect place to conclude such an awesome experience to travel, unwind and inexplicably relate the lessons we acquire in a typical classroom setting.
A place of wonder, the amusement park houses the 'greenest' that the city can offer: ranging from as variant as the creeping, potted plants in the Botanical gardens, until their own rendition of a not-so tall pines in their Little Baguio. Alongside comes a bird park, where we get to have a chance to interact and feed the low flying birds of different kind, a lake suspended with a floating cottage for the visitors to feed the fishes, a zoo of mostly amphibious animals, and predominantly houses for rent overnight, a lavish experience to guests who wants to get the feel of living the countryside away from the smokes of the highly urbanized Clark.
Beneath those shrubs preservedly drawn into its natural occurrences in this area, lies the perfect habitat for small insects and other minute life forms observable during the course of our tour. It is of great happiness to us to be able to walk past the birds, monkeys and other wildlife in the place not so evident in the Academy.
One thing that strikes best also in the place is their own version of the infamous 'takshiapo' , or a recreation where you get to throw a thing and point it to something you are furious of-- be it a glass plate, a TV, or almost anything. In their version, they have come up with small balloons filled with water, again pointed out to something, in twist, the society is enraged of (corrupt officials, balimbing, drug addicts, etc.) For the most part a lot of us didn't mind of what really is the rationale of the thing that we do, they just threw away all the balloons with their dear life, like children playing in the sun, till the stock ran out and there was nothing left to throw away. It was fun.!
There have been a lot of improvements eversince the place's establishment, as what I've been told by our tourist guide, Mike. It is evident that the place have been a subject of field trips and other nature-related recreational activities for it is entranced with a lot of signage marked "Friend of the Forest" titled to the organizations who have embarked to hike the slopes of the attraction and planted their share of trees. We also had our signage, and forever (well, if the paint will not crack and run dry), be it there.
The experience was aesthetically satisfying. I enjoyed the ambience of being just the children of nature-- going back to what really was supposed to be the place carved and disfigured upon the cradle of urbanization.
