Under the Balete

Four stories, one tree. The hosts gather around the balete — the strangler fig that eats another tree to become itself — with a Grab driver's White Lady on Balete Drive, a forestry student's inheritance in the Davao forest, a night-shift keeper's protocol at a tollway rest stop, and a surveyor's map that would not hold still in Batangas. Plus your letters, shoutouts, and a tease of what flies next Friday.
