"Biking in the South will not be complete if you have not eaten at the famous Aling Pinas
Carinderia in Silang, Cavite. I am sure John Lloyd Cruz, Gary V, and all the other stars who are into Mountain Biking will agree.
Aling Pinas is like the oasis of bikers going to Tagaytay or Silang Trails. Sometimes even if we are already thirsty, our biking buddies will tell us, "Malapit na. Konting tiis na lang. Dun na tayo kina Aling Pinas kumain or uminom para diretcho pahinga na."
During their Fiesta in February, Aling P gives back to her customers by offering free food. Her house is open to everyone, even if you have to do the number 3. This is the kind and accomodating Aling P we all know. Recently, we learned that Aling P is undergoing dialysis. We also heard that her family, as advised by Aling P's nephrologist, would want her to undergo kidney transplant. We do not know if they have the financial capacity to support this. A kidney transplant could cost about 1.5M. Her beautiful daughter Regine will be the donor. For sure we will not be able to raise a million in this ride, but whatever amount we wholeheartedly contribute would make Aling P and her loved ones smile even for a day.
With this thought in mind, we are inviting all mountain bikers who were touched, in one way or the other of Aling Ps kindness and generosity. Let us unite, ride, and share our blessings. This is not a force solicitation. Any support in whatever way, whether by just eating in Aling P, making a donation or by praying for her fast recovery will come a long way. To those who plans to donate, we suggest that you join this ride so you can share your blessings and give it directly to Aling P.
Note: The organizers of this ride are not relatives of Aling P. We are just simple mountain bikers, generous to people in need.
