Have you been to the Barrio?

A small community is called Barrio in Filipino.  It (usually) connotes that when someone came from a barrio you are from a far flung province.  So far away from the hustle and the bustle of city life (usually the capital).  Imagine a friend who came to the south from the capital thought that the houses in our city were Nipa huts.

Even if you came from a “city” you still hail from a barrio when you go to the capital.

Today that internet and the age of world wide web has come upon us (Thank God!), the capital and the barrio has come together.  And this particular Barrio has brought together those from the real barrios all over the archipelago and the world.  Kudos Barrio Siete!
