This is a very touching story @naijaberry. I was smiling all throughout the time I was reading. I am happy that you have met these kind guys along the way. Filipinos are indeed the most hospitable. :) I hope you'll meet more of them.
I was surprised about the time length of your flight. that was crazy. 48hrs is super long. phew!
