Remnants of a mining lumberyard: GI hamlets, lengthy foot trails, tree stumps, trees, and saplings.
The basketball court served as the community center. Saturdays, the Anglican Church services were celebrated here. On the far end is the Day Care Center. There are too many memories of occassional visits to manang Espirita and manong Warney with their endearing hospitality. They both departed early from their earthly lives, and may now be the good spirits guarding the Virac Timberyard. Although manang Espirita always contended that the soul goes right back to God, in her vocal defiance to those who believed otherwise.
