Antique was the remaining province I hadn’t explored in the island of Panay. So when Air Asia launched flights to Iloilo via Clark, I knew it was the time I had been waiting for. Our gateway to the province was Iloilo City which was only […]

My love of antiques was totally reawakened after my visit to a friend’s gorgeous home last January. I already have a couple of old stuff back home: a vintage kitty painting and a rustic iron both from Ilocos. I wanted to have the old and reliable aparadors for my room. But they […]

Though the need to explore was already there, reading his musings about Philippine histoary and culture further fueled this one of a kind interest I have for objects of the past. I love old houses, old churches, antique chairs, century-old dressers, musty-smelling […]
