BLOGGING BATANGAS


















These were the photos I took as my souvenir from our latest company outing in Batangas. Hope you will enjoy watching them as much as I enjoyed taking the shots. Scenes were from Club Balai Isabel, the People's Park in the Sky, Picnic Groove and the Residence Inn in Tagaytay City. 
























































SCENIC TAAL


























The Volcano and Lake at Taal Talisay, Batangas


The annual outing of the company where I worked, which was last first week of April has given me the opportunity to view the lake and the Taal Volcano for the second time.  We were all very excited to be at the place especially for those who were just about to see it.  It was a three-day company activities that I made sure to myself I would be able to take as many pictures I may have in a place where many believed to be a "volcano inside a volcano"..

We were housed at Club Balai Isabel in Talisay and it was a stone throw away from the lake where I could get an ample view of  this silent but violent beauty of Batangas..

The Terrace by the Bay


























TERRAZA DE MARIVELES Dauis, Bohol


Inside the Dauis Pilgrim Heritage Center, one can find a seaside park which was built as part of the restoration project of the place.  It was designed with a massive circular wood planked terrace beneath a century old acacia tree, close to the bay.


It was such a sight that I wasted no time circling the place and taking rounds of photos as I am about to leave Dauis and back officially on the job for the last stretch of work before going home to Cebu.























THE MORNING I PLAY WITH ANGELS


























I just find them cute.  We're like playing hide and seek as I climb these statues of angels a few meters above the ground at the back of the Dauis Church complex. I didn't mind climbing to the top of the structure as if I'm knocking at the doors of heavens, seeing them face to face-  with my camera, of course..D

SHRINE OF OUR LADY OF ASSUMPTION


























DAUIS CHURCH  Dauis, Bohol




The Catholic Church of Dauis is an example of a Neo-Gothic and Neo-Classic architecture, made out of corals and that the present structure was finished in 1879. It was said to have been the place of refuge for the nuns of the Holy Spirit of Tagbilaran during World War II.

This was where I continued my shooting spree as I made my way back to Tagbilaran, a sidetrip into the entrance of the island of Panglao..
