Piña: Weaving Aklan’s queen of fibers
Aklan is proud of its piña (pineapple) fiber. So much so that products derived from processing these fibers into fabrics is one, if not its top industry.
Bulusan volcano up close
For a brief moment, I was there, staring with my supertelephoto lens her gaping mouth while several thousand feet above the ground. Looking at Bulusan Volcano in Sorsogon.
Where I stayed in Antique and Iloilo
Some notes on the hotels I stayed when I was in Antique and Iloilo
Antique’s heritage churches, chapels & ruins
My second visit to the province of Antique was another hurried trip. Blame it on my schedule but for this second time, I was targeting specific sites related to heritage churches, chapels and ruins of which the province, have some interesting examples.
Eating pigar-pigar at lively Galvan Street
The name was a bit catchy and curious for me but it basically means turning over in Pangalatok, probably referring to its cooking style of sauteing on a hot oil on a wok.
Riding Antique’s bold tricycles
One thing that a visitor can readily notice are the many pedicabs and tricycles that ply the usual routes and the design and construction can vary from place to place. San Jose’s and surrounding municipalities like Hamtic, have their own versions.
Intramuros, within the walls of a historic city
If its walls could talk, it would have told us countless stories and memories and gossips of what was once the opulent center of the ever loyal city of Manila.
Intramuros. Within the walls.
Pila: Heritage town, heritage architecture
Declared as a National Historical Landmark by the National Historical Institute in 2007, a quick scan of the town center already reveals an astonishing number of early 20th century domestic architecture and other structures that give its provincial atmosphere a unique flavour.
Finally, my e-passport has arrived!
My brown e-passport has finally arrived! Now, where to travel next?
Visiting Bangui’s windfarm, again
I’m back again in Bangui’s windfarm, for the 4th time, to gawk, to feel the wind, to just see this man made wonder dominating the natural landscape.
Tamilok (woodworm) actually tastes good!
It’s white and slimy, its elongated form, worm like, makes others squirm but dip it in spicy vinegar and its one hell of a tasty (raw) fare! Better than oysters.
Lush mangroves at Kalibo’s Bakhawan Eco Park
Visiting Kalibo’s Bakhawan Eco Park was one of the best places that I’ve visited during this trip. Walking along its elevated bamboo walkway amidst lush mangroves and to the sound of birds and the distant waves of the sea was just calming. For one who is Manila based, it was a very welcome respite from the concrete environment and pollution.
Eden’s Apartelle, where I stayed in Kalibo
As the name suggests, its an apartelle and the ground and second floors are actually inhabited. Room at the third floor on the other hand are still available and are being rented out per day.
Almost a failed hunt for crabs in Kalibo
After having seen so much cooked mud crabs, shrimps, fish and grilled chicken used as decor during the Ati-ati Festival in Ibajay, both procession and the street dancing, I was craving for seafood!
