Although their bus was not supposed to exit in Alabang, their bus took that route because the emergency situation.

Some of us prayed and some of us were in tears.I've witnessed the Millennial version of Bayanihan.”<br /><br />Some passengers including Mendoza gave the bus driver the directions to Asian Hospital. While passengers moms did their part by turning bus curtains as blanket to cover the woman while giving birth, passenger dads used their voices as a siren to help the conductor of the bus.<br /><br />Luckily, the bus finally reached Asia Hospital, where the woman and her baby received appropriate medical attention.<br /><br />“It was a heart warming feeling for everyone who did their part... I've realized that each of us has an important role to play to be united. I think we can all learn from this experience,” Mendoza added.<br /><br />Bayanihan, a core essence of the Filipino culture, is the act of helping out one’s neighbor as a community to help make the job easier and lessen the work load. Also called “community spirit”, traditional bayanihan is best exhibited when Filipinos help their neighbor move from one location to another by lifting and carrying their house or bahay kubo with the help of wooden poles.<br /><br /><b>--Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>
