                    [Summary] => 
One day in the last week of December 2015, the residents of Sitio Baugo, Barangay Paril, a mountain barangay of Cebu City, heartily gave little contributions in order to celebrate a simple Christmas party. Baugo is a small community mostly composed of farmers and agricultural traders, majority of whom are related by blood. In my count, there are about 20 houses in this village.
