Underground Cemetery In Nagcarlan Laguna

It was sometime when I did the Laguna -Quezon loop on a motorcycle. Doing long distance travel on a motorcycle is economical but the rider is exposed to the elements. Found myself got nothing to do on a weekend,decided to go to Nagcarlan laguna. At about 140km from my place in SanMateo Rizal. Left the house 4:30 am travelling via the Marilaque highway passing the towns of Rizal.


 
Arrived at Nagcarlan at around 9:30 am. My destination is the underground cemetery and by the way the only one in the Philippines






A staff greeted me 

Upon registering a staff gave me an overview about the history of the place. The underground burial is used for spanish friars and be uaed by prominent families as burial site.












I did enjoy my tour ,try visiting Nagcarlan underground cemetery. Entrance is free!

Balaw Balaw In Angono Rizal

After a long drive from Tanay and nearby town of Rizal. To end the day by having lunch at Balaw Balaw. Learned about this restaurant from Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Foods
Balaw Balaw ia also an art gallery with the works of the late Perdigon Vocalan. Waiting for my food to be served, I explored and took some shots.





The foods are exotic and not your everday meal

Crispy alagaw leaves


Bulls testicles and penis in adobo



Baked tahong

The food tastes great and serving is generous. Not bad for the price



Taste 8/10
Price 7/10
