If there’s one thing that can bring back pulsating flashbacks of my childhood, it’s the scent of Sampaguita flowers. The celestial aroma of my homeland and Church is inimitable.
Sampaguita (scientific name Jasminum sambac) is a Spanish term, derived from the Filipino words sumpa kita meaning ‘I promise you’ and symbolizing purity, devotion, dedication, fidelity and strength.
