There is a great variety of  trees here in the tropics. Some provide shade, some give us fruit and others have beautiful flowers.

Carts, Carts, Carts

Mar. 30, 2013By: Marlys Healy

Carts are a popular and useful means of transporting cargo in the Philippines. In Cebu City they are used for hauling just about anything, from fruits, vegetables and meat, to hardware, wood and household items. Some families live on their carts. Carts can be seen on streets and sidewalks - everywhere that people need to transport goods at a reasonable price. Of course, the toddler cart at CSC transports the most precious cargo!
