I have come to treat Pasig City as my second home as a relative resides here. My concept of Pasig City was built upon the song Anak ng Pasig (child of Pasig) as popularized by the Philippine 90’s vocal group Smokey Mountain. For a long time, the […]

After having a refreshing nap at Balai Sadyaya Resort, me and my relatives woke up at a lazy afternoon bound for the town proper. Sariaya is a very Pinoy-sounding name. For me, it can even be given as a name for a Pinay girl, nicknaming […]

While visiting Pagsanjan, Laguna, I explored the town proper which made my trip smile-worthy. A real sucker for anything antique, walking along the road was definitely a win-win for me. I first saw those old, magnificent houses several years back on a road trip and I […]
