Manaoag Church Tour Experience

The last time we went to Manaoag was probably 5-6 years ago. Last December 15,2011 we went back to Manaog. And i must say it was an experience that I will never forget.

We arrived at Manaog after lunch. When we arrived there was a boy near the sign that said Manaog Church. He ran and guided us to the parking area. We gave him P20. And soon several teenagers were approaching us, selling all sorts of Religious Items. There was also a man who was handing us a receipt that there was a Parking Fee of P50. We were hesitant at first to pay the P50 but we gave him the P50 anyway. 

Walking to the Church, the teenager sellers were still pestering us. But after the Stall Areas and the area near the Church doors they stopped following us. 

We toured the Church for something like 40 Minutes. My sister went back ahead of me as i was still busy taking a picture of the front of the Church. When I got back, several teenagers followed me, i tried to run but they were running also. One of the teenagers kept on pestering me to buy her items, even putting the item on my hands and placing it on my arms when i would not hold it. But the most pesky kid did not budge from the car door so i could not close the door. And it would have been rude to push him and he might even say i hurt him. We just ended up giving him P10 for him to leave and which he accepted. Whew, that was such an experience that i hope next time will not happen. Or better yet, i need to practicing running faster!!

Bacolod's Central Market (Bacolod, Negros Occidental)

I have been to Bacolod countless times already but it was only last March 10, 2011 that i got the chance to visit Bacolod's Central Market. From what i saw and remember what was written on the Marker of the Central Market, it was built in 1938 by a certain Don De La Rama.  The Central Market is located in the center of Bacolod and can entered from 4 streets, namely Gatuslao, Gonzaga, Luzuriaga and Bonifacio Streets. We went straight to the meat section of the Central Market to look for Longaniza (Chorizo is how they call it in Negros). The Longaniza we were looking for is the small one, we bought some Longaniza before in Talisay and it was very delicious and we were hoping that they would have it too in Bacolod.  We found a Longaniza stall in the Meat Section, it was being sold for P25.00 for a Dozen. We bought several to take home. We also bought some Batuan at the nearby stall for P80.00 a Kilo.  We were also looking for Kuakoy. We found it being sold by an old lady just outsid

Aling Pining's Crispy Pata (La Loma, Quezon City)

One of Metro Manila's BEST Crispy Pata can be found in a Garage. I found about Aling Pining's Crispy Pata in a FB Comment a few months ago. The Commenter just said the best Crispy Pata can be found in a Garage in Halcon Street in La Loma. With Just Halcon Street as the address we went to La Loma 2 weeks ago in search of Halcon Street Crispy Pata. When we arrived at Halcon Street we just asked the people there where we can buy Crispy Pata. We passed by it already it turned out. It was indeed just a garage. It had a small sign. Halcon Street Crispy Pata was Aling Pinings Crispy Pata.  An Old Lady was the one frying the Crispy Pata. While a middle aged woman  was the one accepting orders. We bought a Crispy Pata (P400) and we were on our way. At home we were eager to finally taste the Crispy Pata. It did not disappoint. The trip to La Loma was worth it. Is it the best? My mom said the one in Marinduque is still the best. For me? Well i need to go back to

If you are craving for Palabok and Tokwa't Baboy, the best place to go to is Tita Lulu's.  They serve delicious Palabok at Tita Lulu's (Located in front of PureGold Agora, inside the big parking lot). Always say you want the thin noodles when you order Palabok as it is better. The Tokwa't Baboy is equally delicious. Never forget to buy the palabok and tokwa't baboy together as they complement each other.
