As I stepped into the old mansion, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine. The air inside was thick and heavy, and the dim light that flickered from the candles seemed to cast eerie shadows on the walls.

Isra SaleemPublished 5 days ago in WanderHow Filipino Breads Are Made Fresh Every Morning in this Traditional Bakery in Quezon
Our life's journey can be compared to making bread - we start from humble beginnings. Just as dough rises during the baking process, our lives also expand over time. My name is Pablito Casiño. I own this bakery, although I have passed ownership to my four children. Yeast enables the bread to rise and grow. This bakery was founded by my parents. They told me my father started baking in 1944. My father created all the recipes, initially selling pandesal and bonete breads. At first, my father did the baking while my mother managed the storefront with our assistance, despite our young age. Since I was 10, I observed the bakery's daily operations. I used to help my father prepare the dough for baking. Even in high school, I continued assisting him, allowing me to learn and master all his recipes and techniques. Initially, it was a family-run enterprise. However, as demand increased, running it alone became challenging, so we hired additional staff.

The Meeting
READ "PART I" HERE: My third adventure outside the United States was to Putian, China (the second was with a college friend to London for Spring Break—a unique choice that I'll write about later). It wasn't exactly a study abroad opportunity, but I was still in college, and a philosophy professor recommended the experience to me. She knew I was interested in Eastern philosophy, focusing on Daoism, and thought a trip to a Buddhist temple in China might be up my alley. She was right.
