Province Islands Philippines
Jawili Falls, Tangalan. Has seven basins tiered about 20 feet apart.
The highest basin is about a 100 feet high, oval-shaped, around
240 sq. ft. in area and 12 feet deep with clear water almost like
a small lake. The other basins are of similar shapes from 130 sq.
ft to 240 sq. ft in area and 8-10 feet deep except the sixth basin,
which has a swimming area of around 540 square feet.
Tulingon Cave, Nabas. Believed to be one of the longest caves in
the Philippines. Stretches 20 kilometers from Bgy. Libertad, Nabas
Aklan to Bgy. Patria, Pandan, Antique with enormous guano deposits.
Iley of lush vegetation
 Campo
Verde, Border of Tangalan and Ibajay. Straddling the border of Tangalan
and Ibajay, 28 kms. west of Kalibo, its 3,700 feet altitude makes
it a perfect retreat in the hot summer months. Green pines, mahogany,
acacia, ipil-ipil and butterfly trees draw visitors deeper into
the woods - a hiker's paradise.
Nabaoy Reforestation, If Tangalan boasts of its Campo Verde, Malay
itself has its own to be proud of. Greenery abound in the area,
sparkling clean air - a natural nature's refuge one can call little
Baguio, plus a clear river winding through it.
Fatima Hill, Kalibo. Stations of the cross on the hillside
culminate in a chapel made of marble atop of the hill.
Pink Sisters Convent, New Washington. Everything here
is pink, from the convent's facade to corridors and to the nun's
attires.
Travel Quotes:
I still make sure to go, at least once every year, to a country where things cannot be taken for granted, and where there is either too much law and order or too little. Christopher Hitchens
“Everyone carries his own inch rule of taste, and amuses himself by applying it, triumphantly, wherever he travels. Henry Adams
Main Dishes Philippine Cuisine
Adobo is one of the most popular Filipino dishes and is considered unofficially by many as the national dish. It usually consists of pork or chicken, sometimes both, stewed or braised in a sauce usually made from vinegar, cooking oil, garlic, bay leaf, peppercorns, and soy sauce. It can also be prepared "dry" by cooking out the liquid and concentrating the flavor. Bistek, also known as "Filipino beef steak," consists of thinly sliced beef marinated in soy sauce and calamansi and then fried in a skillet that is typically served with onions.
