Another sort of sponsored trip of IRRI, I love my workplace =). We attended the yearly conference of Crop Science Society of the Philippines and going around Del Monte farm is part of the educational trip for the participants.

they have an Ukay-ukay (U2) plaza, amazing!!! this street is close to traffic, they set-up their U2 stuffs in the street and on the other side of this U2 plaza are street food galore, maybe we stayed too long in this area that we forgot to take photos of the other side or we had too much food already....well I kinda drop my jaw at the sight of this so many U2 things around me
