How much would it cost to go
to heaven?
Literally, ten cents plus a hundred
pesos would do.
High up in the picturesque town
of Tanay, Rizal, Ten Cents to Heaven is a sprawling 30-hectare leisure camp and
resort nestled atop breathtaking rolling hills and verdant mountains. It provides
a good backdrop for a thrilling adventure or a romantic escape, offering a scenic
view of the Sierra Madre mountain range and Laguna de Bay.
Among some of the places near
Manila that Reina and I suggested to Paul (our new foreign intern in the office)
for a quick weekend get-away, Ten Cents was the one he chose, perhaps because
of the natural allure of the place. And he said that it’s very rare to see
mountains in his home country, The Netherlands.
Though it was really tiring
commuting to this place, we were rewarded by the wonderful scenery that greeted
us upon arrival.

Ten Cents is definitely one
of those ideal places to unwind and be recharged from the polluted and busy city
life. The resort also has good room accommodations and great teambuilding facilities.
But the highlight of our trip was of course riding the zipline, one of the
longest in Luzon.
Given Paul’s three-month
stint in the country, I do hope that he could visit several more tourist
attractions in the countryside so he could appreciate and experience first-hand
the extraordinary beauty of the Philippines. But I guess he would agree with me
that sometimes, heaven need not be that far. And it could just be in Rizal.

Hi! I'd like to know paano pumunta dito pag commute? Thank you and hoping for your reply :)
Hi RS. From Cubao, ride a jeep going to Cogeo. In Cogeo, take the jeep going to Sampaloc, Tanay. Tell the driver to drop you off at Ten Cents.
