Mitra House


Some call this place "The Mitra Ranch" or "Mitra House and Ranch". I want to call it "The Mitra House" since that's what was written in our itinerary from the tour company. That's also how our guide call it.
It's a beautiful old wooden house (now modernized for us tourists) amid rolling hills with cool views.

Why are those people peeping into the glass wall? Ah, it was/is closed, but we could see parts of the house, so all we (and guide) could do was pathetically peep through the clear glass. Sige na nga lang!

Yeah, nakakawala ng dignidad. You're like intruding into another person's private home. But that's how they do it here, sige go! If the owners (Mitras) really want to let us (the public) see their old house, why don't they open it and perhaps just place a velvet rope where "private". Otherwise, it is better removed from the already good tour itinerary. Mag-lalakbay ka, mag-babayad, para lang mamboso na ganyan?!

Yes, there is a big live tree, growing in the middle of the living room, serving as the house's main post etc., etc., yadida, yadida! Then you all (including tour guide) press your faces on the glass of that wall.

Sorry it's just not for me, naaasiwa ako. I instead turned to see the views which is fantastic anyway!
While the guide kept talking and while my companions kept pathetically peeping like little beggar kids into someone else's house, I instead sat on the veranda and savored the wonderful panoramas. Wow!

My verdict: as a tour destination, the Mitra House is too far to waste time if you are only going to peep by that glass wall. I might as well just listen to the guide telling me all about it - frankly, it's just almost the same anyway - hindi mo rin lang naman makikita ng maayos yung loob ng bahay na yan. Ganoon!

Nice but haizst!
