"Balay Negrense" Silay City, Negros Occidental Philippines


The Balay Negrense is a museum in Silay City, Negros Occidental. The Balay Negrense was the ancestral house of Victor F. Gaston, a son of Yves Leopold Germain Gaston and Prudencia Fernandez and it was built in 1897. I take photographs of some interesting artifacts like old typewriter, old dresses that usually wear of the prominent family at that time, antiques furniture and cutlers. I'm so impressed how they maintained the antique house and I cannot help but imagine how it must have been during its glory days.

Baguio City Benguet Philippines

Baguio City, is a highly urbanized city located in the province of Benguet in Northern Luzon Island of the Philippines. Bagiou is well known of oozing weather and the Panagbenga Festival (English: Flower Festival) is a month-long annual flower festival occurring in Baguio, the summer capital of the Philippines. If you wish to stay there at least 2 to 3 days vacation there's a lot of lodging houses and hotels that affordable and suited to your own taste. I love the weather in Baguio, the clear blue morning skies, foggy afternoons, and chilly romantic evenings. Aside the Festival and weather, Shopping at the famous City Market offers one a wide array of locally sourced goods and products: everything from colorful woven fabrics and hand-strung beads to primitive wood carvings, cut flowers and strawberries.

Take a refreshing snack in the Tree house of Pantalan by the pond.

Mt. Pinatubo Trekking Tarlac Pampanga Philippines

“Pinatubo” means “made grown” in Tagalog and the local dialect of the area, the "Sambal" and an indigenous group of hunter-gatherer people called "AETA". On June 15, 1991, Mt. Pinatubo erupted. The eruption lasted for 9 hours and caused several earthquakes which resulted in the collapsed of summit. To add to the horrendous suffering of the people of Central Luzon, the area was hit by a typhoon passing close to the volcano which triggered massive lahar – a lethal mudflow that is composed of pyroclastic materials and water that flowed through the river valleys of the mountain. Today, Mt. Pinatubo’s serene cyan-colored crater lake, canyons made of pyroclastic materials, and the growing tropical rain forest canopy covering part of its slopes are a mute testament to its recent explosive past. There are many things that I want to share about this awesome journey and I will start with the most important. First off, this trek is not recommended for children under the a...
