I could still vividly remember what came to happen that day—we were celebrating our seminary rector's sacerdotal anniversary. Napakaraming handa; napakaraming pagkain na akala mo huling kain na namin. You could really see in everyone's eyes how joyous they were at that time, lalo na sa aming lima na thesis na lang ang kailangan ay matatapos na ang pag-aaral sa teolohiya... Pero nagbago ang lahat nang dahil sa isang balita.
On that same day; a few minutes after the joyous gathering, one shocking news came to haunt the seminary community, and it made our rector decide on something suddenly—ang pauwiin kaming lahat sa mga kanya-kanya naming bahay dahil isang virus raw ang nagsisimulang kumalat sa loob at labas ng bansa. According to Fr. Patrick, our rector, all the places will soon be on a lockdown that's why need to go home the soonest possible is expected of us, or else we will be stranded…
But..
I did not take the virus seriously...
We, the five graduating theologians, actually, did not take the virus as a serious matter.
We thought the lockdown would not harm us. So, instead of going home, we decided to visit a place where we could gather informations for our anthropological research about indigenous tribes; we went to a place where an endangered cannibal tribe exists. A place where we thought would help us finish our thesis, but turned out to be the place that would…
finish our lives.
This is our journey to….Hell.
