Find those words for yourself hehe. This big big signage is nailed to a tree over at Isla Del Sta Cruz Grande’s pink-sand beach! Yep, in the city of flowers :)
Readers should all be aware of this when going to Puerto Galera or any of the destinations en route to Batangas City! There is an anomaly that the bus company (or probably just their employees and without the management’s knowledge) has been perpetrating. Last February 25, 2005, being a holiday, I, together with three of my friends decided to go to Puerto Galera for a much needed weekend break. We decided to take a JAM/Tritran bus by reason of its station being conveniently located at EDSA near Kamuning which happens to be nearest our residences. This decision to take Tritran ruined our weekend! We were at the bus station as early as 5:30AM so we can take the 6AM trip. We happily rode on bus number 727, a yellow JAM liner. The aircon was great – even too cold and the bus was clean. It got readily full to capacity so we left by just about 5 minutes past 6AM. Upon departure, the “conduktor” distributed tickets without asking for our money yet. After he has given tickets to everyone, he c...
This trip took me more than 6 hours instead of the usual 2.5 to 3 hours. But I'm not at all complaining! I would like to consider this 'experience' as a 'culture adventure'. When I say culture here, I don't mean the indigenous nor the makaluma nor the mala-peninsulares, conyo and pasosyal. Because they're all "cultures", right? What I mean is/was: I got to experience how the general public travel herearounds. I knew, the easiest way from Tandag to Bislig is via the vans. Especially in the Visayas and Mindanao, V-Hires are the fastest and easiest way to move. But, for this trip, my Rule No. 1 was: No V-Hire Rides. Why? Because I can't properly see the outside (to my satisfaction) as V-Hires are too low compared to buses, and veeery fast! I don't allow that if it was my first time in the area, AND if I had a choice hehe! My first time? Yes. I mean I have been to Bislig and Tandag many times during my younger years. But I flew unto them in...
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...
