But I see Peanuts

-


The Hot Peanut Cart, which can be seen in practically every corner and every barangay in Manila and the Philippines for that matter, is an example of the unique English of the Filipinos and the "gaya-gaya" culture.

In case you are wondering where General Trias City is found, it is located in Cavite, and is one of the progressive towns in the province.  It is but a stone's throw away from the CEPZA (Cavite Export Processing Zone) In fact, due to many constructions and developments around the area, traffic has become horrendous.  What used to be a sluggish town has become a bustling area.  The influx of businesses catering to Korean tourists also contributed to the sudden economic surge in the area. In case you will find yourself in the area, here are 5 things you can do: 1.  Visit and Pray at St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church: There are many St. Francis of Assisi Parish Churches in the Philippines.  I can name at least 3.  But this is a historical church and is one of the oldest churches in the province of Cavite.  This church is admired for its attractive architecture and religious significance .

Passing By Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery

Nagcarlan is probably one of the towns in Laguna that is earning some attention now because of the  historical landmark that people are gradually learning about.    It is the Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery.  It is probably Nagcarlan's equivalent to the hanging coffins of Sagada.   We Filipinos seem to have a fascination for cemeteries or coffins.  There's also the Sunken Cemetery in Camiguin that tourists may view and include in their travel itinerary.   The underground cemetery in Nagcarlan, is part of what was originally the Catholic Cemetery of the town.       There are three areas to see.  The crypt which is found within the "kapilya" or chapel.  There is a passage on the right side upon entering the chapel in order to go down the  underground cemetery.

My Puerto Prinsesa City Tour: Cheek to cheek with the crocs at the Palawan Crocodile Farm and Conservation Center

For P40, one can see these dangerous reptiles at the Palawan Wildlife and Rescue Center, which was formerly called Crocodile Farming Institure.   It is a breeding facility for the c. porosus and c.mindorensis type of crocodiles.  The big ones you see here are the older crocs which you find at the back of the hatchery.  These crocodiles appear languid but once a piece of chicken (for P30) is thrown at them, they all scramble, teeth and claws to have a piece of it.  It is exciting to see them all attack it and the more it is dangled, the wilder they get.    From this bridge, one could see tens of crocs below, some motionless, waiting for the right time to pounce on something, some lazily crawling.  At the opposite end of this bridge, you will see the Wildlife Conservation Center where some rescued animals are secured in cages.   Below are the hatchlings which really look so cute and adorable but can be mean and snappy.  So one...
