                    [Summary] => 

We were destined for the Kamay ni Jesus Shrine in Lucban, Quezon. We do not know the distance in kilometers, how far it is from our base, but we passed through more than ten towns, going to and coming back from the Shrine. It was a long drive, five hours each way, but we had pit stops and shopping along the way. It was actually a pleasant drive, the roads were good.
