Capítulo 50: Timer Starts…Now

The sky was rather dull due to heavy rainfall forecast for the whole week. A bus, which had a banner of the Culinary Organization of the Philippines, slowly headed to the mountains of Busay. This place was commonly known as little Baguio. Here, one can feel the coolness of the wind touching one's skin the whole day. Every day, the residents would wear a jacket to warm their bodies even if the sun was high at noon. It had natural landscapes for trekking, rappelling, or other outdoor activities.

The bus reached its destination, Busay Palace Mountain Resort. The organizers chose this venue as a treat to all the participants. The rooms and event venue were in a separate area within the hotel. Five makeshift kitchens lined up at a big hall of the hotel. Only 100 individuals were to enter the second round.
