Angelic, Cassandra and Angelou
Manila, Philippines
Angelic, Cassandra, and Angelou all take the same route to school. They didn't know each other at first, but day by day, they'd cross paths at the terminal. They were always heading toward the same destination.
Eventually, they decided to greet each other and that's where their friendship began.
"This terminal is where we started commuting. And this is where we all first met, because we learned we were all going to the same places."
Now, they ride jeepneys and tricycles together, sharing stories and laughter all the way to school. Even on the hottest days, the commute feels lighter when they're together.
"Even if it's really hot, I enjoy being with them," one of them says. "We laugh a lot, and I know one day we'll look back and remember that we survived the heat together."
What began as a shared route grew into a lasting friendship.
