Painted personalities found at the shop are Ronald Regan the 40th President of the United States is also an artist, John Lenon a great musician, singer and songwriter, Comedy King Dolphy and the Famous Boxing World Champion Manny Pacquiao!

I ♥ Teatro Barasoain

                                         Music by : Chris Tomlin "Let Your Mercy Rain"

Teatro Barasoain is an organization under Barasoain Church, before under Parish Commission on Youth. They gathered the youth and develop them as rounded Christians headed by Ms. Joy Hubahib as their Coordinator. They perform in Barasoain activities and do choir every Friday, and just last year they have begun performing in different municipalities through invitations. They use funds through solicitations, only if you would love to sustain the youth for this kind of activities it will be extremely valued.

Floating Restaurant

Silangang Nayon was our last stop, gone from island hopping in Kwebang Lampas at Puting Buhangin. As we arrived in Silangang Nayon, the General Manager, Ms. Mary Ann Padilla meets us.

This welcome sign is made of purely bamboo. Its unique landscapes made the place much more appealing to the visitors, a one of a kind place to unwind. Cottages look bamboo structured, only most of them are already cemented, to avoid destruction from typhoons. They have floating restaurant and staying down there is so refreshing because it is too windy.  They possess as well a mini zoo in house with deer, iguana, hawk, horses, chicken, monkey and a falcon and many other.

The resort has multi-purpose hall appropriate for meetings, conventions, conferences, seminars, weddings and many others. They offer kayaking just along the shores. They have also a spacious playground for children, bedroom accommodations for the whole family at only PHP 2, 500 for 4 persons with free breakfast.  Seafoods are the most varieties they serve like; Grilled Oyster, Crab Steamed with Garlic, Seafood roll, Sea food soup and other best menu.

cars under shades of mango trees

   It was about 1:00 in the afternoon when we arrived at Cortijo De Palsabangon. The whole place has a total land area of 5.1 hectares cultivated with different varieties of fruits and vegetables. "Bahay Kubo" song, if you're familiar... sing it, name it it's all in there! It is a farm, parkland, a restaurant and has a mini golf course.

Here you can enjoy bonding with your family and friends, best for team building, campsite and tent on the grounds overnight, celebrate parties, or also school trips. What’s more, here is its agriculture and organic farming since they entertain agribusiness professionals, academic researchers or any interested enthusiast to combine with business and opportunities. They offer pick and pay for fresh fruits and vegetables.

It is also a great place for adventurous nature lovers given that you can have horseback riding under mountain scenery, walk through lovely fields view and farm park. Indeed, it's a great place to relax and enjoy. According to the owner a rainbow usually appears during the day in the month of November to January. Cortijo De Palsabangon is a "Heart of the Rainbow". 

       This bahay-cube is made of bamboo with knitted Nipa hut, given the name of Singkamas, Sigarilyas at Talong. Inside, has a video karaoke where you can sing your hearts out. You may visit Friday party nights with Live Bands, as well, in a fresh cold night you may warm up with a bonfire. 

    It was late lunch already, but we’re not yet hungry, but with these foods we really can't resist! The vegetables served are very fresh from the farm! Sisig-an original Filipino dish, Fried Pancit and Kare-Kare with vegetables, Baked Tahong are just some of their signature menu you could choose from. The red color drink in a bottle as you notice is a Liputi wine, a mixture of local Lambanog and Liputi wine. It warms my throat to my stomach even I just sipped. You must try it out too.
