At first, they were staring at us, strangely. 

"Assalamualaikum," said Rudi of Thailand.

Then we knew we are one muslim family, broke any border of our 3 different nationalities.

We got 30 minutes preaching in arabic and Tagalog here in a small mosque in Tagaytay City, the Philippines, a week ago. Muslim community here is not so big, maybe only 50 families.
Originally from Mindanao, now mostly of them work in a market near the mosque.

They are really humble and friendly.
