Quezon

Mulanay’s been invaded with Santas!

    The old town of Mulanay is invaded by Santas! At its town plaza, there were different Santas, in different positions, in different sizes. Some are standing, others seating while others are suspended in the air!

    Unisan’s Vargas & other heritage houses

      Unisan in Quezon’s Bondoc Peninsula might not have the elegant old church in its midst but the beautiful heritage houses in its main town give it color, history and identity. These are just some of the structures that make this municipality interesting.

      The lonely mermaid of Atimonan

        There she is, looking forlornly at the road, sitting atop a rock for decades on end and waiting. Waiting. Waiting for whom? For what?

        Good Friday halo-halo dunked with suman

          While waiting for the Santo Señor Sepulcro’s bier to arrive back at the church in Lucban, I was invited to have cooling halo-halo. What I didn’t expect was the unusual ingredient that they mix it with.

          Domingo de Ramos in Lucban

            Domingo de Ramos or Palm Sunday, is one of the significant days of the Semana Santa that marks the start of the Holy Week. It is a reenactment of Christ’s entry into Jerusalem when he was received by the people, waving palms while he was riding a donkey. And I witnessed this in Lucban, Quezon.
