Facade of Malacanang Palace

Infront of a Display of the Evolution of Philippine Flags
|
Paco Park is one of Manila's most beautiful and beloved parks
|
..with its stone archs welcoming local and foreign visitors alike...
|
.. to its chapel, fountain display and trees located in the middle of the bustling metropolis
|
|
|
|
|
We found our way out under one of its many arches and travel to Kawit, home of Philippine independence.
|
|
But first, we visit Joel's apartment along Roxas Blvd.
|
When arrived at Kawit, we visit the town's four-century old Saint Mary Magdalene Church then we proceeded to ...
|
Aguinaldo Shrine, home of the first Philippine president, also site where Philippine independence was proclaimed in June 12, 1898.
The terrace seen in the photo on the right is depicted in the 5 Peso bill.
|
|
Then we proceeded to Mar's house for dinner and later browsed through photograph albums...
|
... and had another round of photos
|
After an hour's drive, we arrived in Tagaytay City...
|
... to hang out at the Taal Vista Lodge...
|
|
... to relax and laugh ...
|
...enjoying each other's company...
|
... as we view the world's smallest active volcano...
...Tall Volcano, under the clear star-lit skies.
