Vigan Series - The Great Leader (Part 4)

Congressman Crisologo was shot inside St. Paul's cathedral in 1970. I wonder if the gunman, who up to now is still unidentified, was a human being during the time of the tragedy. Nevertheless, the legacy still remains in his house/museum. Tita Remy, the caretaker, was kind and gracious enough to welcome us. Here are the pics. (Copyright applies)

White Rock not for your underarm (Part 4)

Our next destination was the Kapurpurawan (tongue twister) Rock Formation. From the root word puraw which means white, the place was breathtaking. To enjoy the view and feel the whiteness of the area, one must pass through a canopy of shrubs, walk the zigzag road and tadaaaahhhhh - the white rock and definitely not for your underarm. The Panday 3 cast recently shot there so there were remnants of the props. One must go there to have the feel of the place. Its indescribable. Enjoy the pictures (copyright applied)

Welcome to the Sunshine City - LAOAG! (Part 1)

My vacation leave (finally, after one year of work) paid off as I traveled to one of the best destinations in the country. With one year planning, including booking piso fair, last minute jitters and changes in schedule, riding a non-airconditioned (at first) 4 seater airplane, overcoming the turbulence and praying for dear life and asking God that  I still have plans for showbiz, we arrived at our tourist destination. I only happen to realize once when I was in the plane that our destination is already on top of the map. A first time for everything, I thank the Lord for hearing my prayers, indeed he made the weather sunny, so sunny that I ended up looking fried. I am thankful for the hospitality of the locals and our travel agency for making our trip a memorable one. Special thanks to our Driver Kuya Noel who was very nice to us enduring our quirkiness, our boisterous laughters, singing with us and paving way to our wants. This trip is one of the best experiences of my life and some of my bucket lists were checked. These pictures are divided into series as my camera had a thousand pictures and I am just posting some to let you see and feel the beauty of the place. We will begin with Laoag, the capital of Ilocos Norte and the place where we stayed. Our hotel, Isabel Suites was situated two blocks away from the Capitol.
