Philippines, Oh My Philippines!

A vow to roam the country... Yes, your PinoyTraveler (that's me) is not at all religious but just the same made a "solemn" vow to roam the Philippines as much as I can and as long as I ever live (whichever ends first - as if they don't go together hehe)! This vow was "solemnized" by the fact that this occurred during a Sunday mass! I was a young 20 year old then. Way back then, really! The Scene The 9:30AM mass, the last row (pew) St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida - as homily was in progress The Dialogue American Guy : (smiling and with great enthusiasm noticeably inched to get nearer to me and whispered)... "you a Filipino? a Pinoy?" PinoyTraveler : (also whispering and wondering why the urgency of the question) "yes sir, I am, why?" AG : It has been like ages since I saw a Filipino. I love Filipinos, the Philippines. In fact I married one! You see my wife there in the front pews? You will recognize her, s...

Vientiane To Bangkok Flight

Image
We ended the previous story with " boarding ", so let's go fly! Pushback ! Only 1425H and we already felt that jerk, as the plane started to push away. Yey! I marked my photo for easy identification since my phone was facing the sun. This: Blue arrrow is the international terminal's name; red arrow is where this plane came from (where we boarded); and, yellow arrow is the domestic terminal. Not really big. Not so big an airport It's maybe as big (or as small) as Davao airport - sama na domestic at international, since as you can see halos magka-dugtong sila. Total building length, ~200 meters. But in terms of passenger traffic (2017), konti lang, about 1.3 million, comparable to BCD or CGY (TAC had 1.7M; ILO had 1.9M; DVO had 4+M), yet Vientiane is a capital. Not a purely government-owned airport BTW, that recent airport upgrade was with 'hefty help' from Japan. Even its operator today is L-JATS (Lao-Japan Airport Terminal Services), a p...

People’s Center of Tacloban Revisited

Image
Who goes to the Sto. Nino Shrine without glancing at the People’s Center beside it? Oh well, during this re-visit, I did not only want to glance at it, I wanted to roam the place once again. Alright folks, for those not familiar with it, google will help a lot as there too, are a lot of descriptions and images of it. The People’s Center simultaneously sprouted with the Sto. Nino Shrine beside it. They were the twin attractions of the city during their heydays, until the Marcoses were ousted out of Malacañang – but that’s another topic you and I may want to talk about in the future. I am not here to discuss that it was another extravagant thing commissioned by Imelda. That topic is already way too worn out. My visit was more for the what it was, and what it is now . The People’s Center and Library 'building'/'structure' was inspired by ancient greek architecture. Nabasa ko lang yan dati! Ah, that one will probably be hard to change even until obli...
