Helpfulness
We took a jeepney ride from Ever Mall at Cainta. The jeepney ride costs us 32 pesos (I think) each. The travel time took us about an hour and a half. And it's already nighttime! Which means it isn't rush hour anymore. Imagine how much time it would take if the streets are still congested.
Anyways, we had a private vehicle going back home. And it only took us around 45 minutes.

It is customary for Filipinos to offer their food or drinks to other people near them before they themselves take anything. Usually, the persons you offered food/drink will not really take anything, but just smile and thank you. Your mere act will be construed to mean your respect and regard for others. If by chance they accept your food/drink, they will likely offer something else for you,too.

Comfort Rooms in natural parks aren't comfortable!

Daranak Falls is known to mountaineers going to Tanay. This must be their cherry on the ice cream after a laborious climb. I also heard this place was famous for movies with scenes that require the hero to jump over the falls. hahaha. Costs around 20 pesos to get in, you can also bring your own food as they have tables for family picnics. I saw a family brought over a whole Lechon! yum yum!
