    Back again in Intramuros as part of a shore excursion, revisited some sites seen in 2023 plus a few others that were not included in that excursion. On this occasion we visited San Agustin Church & Museum, Manila Cathedral, Plaza Roma, Plaza Isobel, Fort Santiago and Casa Manila Museum, Muralla Street, etc. Different guide and a different perspective but still the same historical theme pertaining to the historic walled area and adjacent.

    We did a 2 day trek in Banaue and Batad rice terraces with Jhun Ognayon (+63 935 153 1934). We had an amazing adventure walking through the forests and stunning rice terraces. It’s not for the faint of heart, with several areas having very narrow paths. But it was all worth it for the amazing views of these UNESCO heritage sites. They are a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of these communities. The views of the rice terraces from the top will be something that I will always remember.

    I highly recommend Jhun. He is super responsive and too extreme care for our safety during the entire trek. I’m scared of heights but with his help I was able to make it through even the steepest paths. As a guide who grew up working in these rice terraces, he was also able to share his own personal experience with us and made the local community and culture even more real and interesting. You won’t be disappointed if you go with Jhun on this amazing adventure.

    We went early on a Saturday morning. It was busy but not super busy. January 2025, and entrance fee was PHP 75 for an adult which was very reasonable. Have cash and small notes to hand. To some, yes it just looks like ruins but this is one of the oldest fortifications in Manila built by the Spanish conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi. There are some information boards in English but there are a number of historical landmarks in the area and it is easier to hire a guide to take you. Not that easy to navigate or get a taxi. A guide will cover the highlights. I know these are ruins, but I still think that they should be better maintained.

    A perfect cone, Mayon Volcano is a testament of nature's artistry...Mayon is also steeped in rich history and culture. Cagsagwa ruins offers a glimpse into the past of a church buried by pas eruptions.

    Rizal park also popularly known as Luneta Park, is a big urban park in manila. Its clean and beautiful. Many people go there to stroll or exercise. Best to go there early morning or late afternoon to avoid the scourching heat of the sun and be able to enjoy the cool breeze.

    The building dates to 1586, constructed in the Baroque style, completed in 1604 and consecrated in 1607 and is regarded as the oldest stone church in the country. The building has survived earthquakes, fire sacking, war, it served as a hospital in 1863 and as a concentration camp by the Japanese during WW11. Although damaged, it was the only building in Intramuros that survived the war.
