Paete, Laguna has been widely known for its wood carvings. Recently, the famous moving statues of saints were featured in television. In my recently concluded visit at the Paete Church, it was unfortunate that I did not get the chance to see those that were shown on television. However, I was still privileged in getting [...]
The Caliraya Lake is a man-made lake located at Lumban, Laguna situated at 1,200 above sea-level. This is certainly one of Laguna’s summer hotspots where local and foreign tourists visit every year. There are two possible routes to be able to reach the Caliraya Lake. One is via the South Luzon Express Way while the [...]
I had a client call at Laguna earlier and I can already feel the heat of summer already especially everytime the sign “Private Pool” was flashed on us. On the official website of the local government of Laguna, I’ve found some useful information for the soon-to-be chlorinated citizens and tourists alike.
In my heydays the past I used to be able to find the hottest night spots. But then motherhood sort of made an “honest” no time for fun woman out of me. These days I can only direct you to the best places in my locality (Los Baños, Laguna) where you can find good pinoy [...]
Rizal Shrine is the pride of Calamba, Laguna. This is where Dr. Jose P. Rizal grew up. The house is a two-storey building that boasts of a Spanish-vintage architecture where Juan Nakpil was responsible. Their place has a huge lot area. Within the compound of the Rizal Shrine, you will also find the nipa hut [...]
If ever you find yourself on the road to Sta. Cruz, Laguna; somewhere in Calauan (Brgy. Masiit) just off the road (turn right on a not very noticeable dirt road with a dilapidated sign) a few blocks after Samaral Restaurant is a nice hideaway.
Located in the middle of rice fields and animal farm is Lucidel [...]
Wanna be imeldific and splurge on sandals or shoes (footwear in general)?
Then head on down south to Liliw, Laguna.
Liliw is perhaps best known for its cold water spring resorts, native homemade sweets and a sizeable shoe industry that rivals that of Marikina City.
Liliw formally became the “Footwear capital of Laguna” through [...]
People do not only go to Exotik Restaurant because of the food that they serve there. Tourists go there because of the ambiance that makes eating truly enjoyable. The last time that I went there is that the landscaping was not as beautiful as before. Also, one of their attractions, Samantha (a snake) was located [...]
Trust me, you’ve never tasted Buko Pie ’til you’ve tried those from Los Baños, Laguna. There are two shops I can recommend and bet the taste and quality on: that of the Original Buko Pie, and Lety’s.
If you’ve got time to spare, go and take your place at the queue lining up to Original. [...]
One of the exciting part of travelling is that sometimes you’d encounter odd people, places, things, or situations. Mine was during my recent trip this year to Mount Siniloan at Famy. I think it’s in the borderline of Quezon Province and Laguna.
The place is a regular camp site beside a river with several waterfalls [...]
