As part of my mother's wish for her 55th birthday, we visited the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Marilao, Bulacan to pray and thank the Lord for all His blessings to our family. The journey was about one and a half hour jeepney ride from our home in Guiguinto. It was eleven in the morning earlier and the sun was blazing hot. We had three jeepney transfers because of the ongoing bridge construction in Bocaue River. First from Puregold Guiguinto to Bocaue.. then from Bocaue to Marilao Public Market.. then another one from the public market all the way to the Shrine.
We crossed over a temporary bridge replacing the Bocaue Bridge..
