Malacanang of the North

2012-09-21T12:39:00.003+08:00

Despite the accusations against Ferdinand Marcos and his wife Imelda, based on the kwentos of my Lolos, Titos and Dad, I still think he is one of the best Presidents we ever had. Visiting his official home up north during his term made me giddy (I've never seen so many sala sets in one house.). I just wish that the good legacy he left will be kept and cherished by the Filipino people.

Snapshots from my recent trip to Laoag.

My office spouse and I made a quick side trip to Museo Ilocos Norte.

Take a peek what's inside.

Baguio Palengke

Baguio Palengke is a must stop for every Baguio traveler.

Find the cheapest bonnet, aromatic coffee beans or the sweetest strawberry.

Either way, you'll fall in love with this place over and over again.

The Vigan Heritage Village is a town in Vigan, Ilocos Sur that is considered the best-preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial town in Asia. In November 1999, it was placed on the World Heritage List commemorating its cultural significance. The village was established in the 16th century. The name "Vigan" was derived from a giant taro plant "biga" that grew abundantly along the riverbanks. Most of the materials -- such as adobe, pebbles, bricks and posts -- were brought from Europe through the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade. The construction work was done by Chinese laborers. Thus, the village's architecture reflects a unique fusion of Spanish European and Chinese culture.

Vigan Empanada

Irene's empanada is THE BEST.

Don't leave Vigan without trying it and buying a dozen to take home for your friends and family to enjoy.

Paoay Church is the Roman Catholic parish church of the municipality of Paoay, Ilocos Norte in the Philippines. Completed in 1710, the church is famous for its distinct architecture highlighted by the enormous buttresses on the sides and back of the building.
