MAKRO FIELD TRIP
Prank:
I learned a prank during the trip. We're around 93 students having a field trip in Makro Makati. In order to go to the store, we need to go to a walkalator. Everything was going smoothly, then as we're about to step out of the walkalator we saw people blocking the step out of the walkalator. So what we did we walked backwards, just kept walking until we had a space we could step on once we got out of the walkalator.
