FINAL TERM




TAAL BASILICA

The Basilica of St. Martin of Tour is the biggest church in the orient. It was built in 1755 but it was rebuilt after destroy by earthquake in 1849. I can't even believe that the altar and the dome ceiling never destroy. I smell the church like very old when I entered. I checked the image prove very ancient. The outside of the church is so beautiful and people can feel comfort.

ESCUELA PIA

Escuela Pia is a school for girl students who want vocational (sewing, etc). But now, it's temporarily clinic. It was originally constructed in 1853.




MARCELA AGONCILLO MUSEUM

Marcela Agoncillo Museum is the one of the taal's oldest. She was the first making the Philippines flag that she sewn by hand. She was donating it to the national government. It's still original but not original painting.
I love the wood in the museum of Marcela Agoncillo because it looks very strong.








DON LEON APACIBLE MUSEUM

It has many kinds of things by the Apacible. Don Leon was Emilio Agoncillo's finance officer and a delegate to the Malolos Congress of 1898. I viewed the post wall that I felt hurt because in the past, many people who have experienced of abuse.


OUR LADY OF CAYSASAY

It is miracle. Those people who blelived the traditional that it has miracle. If people who has problem health so they can wash the water of Caysasay so that it will heal. The Caysasay strong to block the lava from volcano by erupted.


PANOCHA

It products by peanuts with brown sugar. We bought pasalubong with Panocha. It's so very delicious and I love it. The Filipino people are good idea to make it.

I also saw the car imported from the country and the cemetery. The car looks so luxury. But sayang, we does not visit inside the house because we arrived too late.

Visited the Mt. Asog/Mount Iriga

During my high school, we just posed back the Mount Asog near our alma mater. 
 
During our girl scouts, we were started climb the Mount Asog that we made the new plants in the Mount Asog because  we cared it.

 I felt tired so much that I climbed the Mount Asog. I arrived there in the chapel inside the Mount Asog. That stairs are 100 less.




 We made the new plants near the chapel in the Mount Asog.

 I was sad because I did not see the large fleshy flower because it was almost raining. We went back to the tent. No matter I was happy.

 I visited that part of the Mount Asog again. I was afraid of the bridge because it was higher down the river. I tried not to nervous that I walked on the bridge but I did not view around when I walked.

I got shocked because the stairs are many. I climbed the Mount Asog.  The Mount Asog is large.


EDUCATIONAL TOUR IN ALBAY

During my third year high school, our schoolmates visited the place in Albay for Educational Tour. I visited the Mayon Volcano in the Cagsawa Ruin that first time. The Maycag Church Ruin was destroyed by lava when the eruption of the Mayon Volcano and typhoon but the old bell tower leave there in Cagsawa Ruin for a long time. I can't enter the old bell tower because it's very dangerous that it can easily fall down.

I sat on the big rock from the Lava. I tried to stand on it but it is very smooth and I was slide on it. The big rock is very black.

I can't believe the old bell tower is taller than us. So I tried to jump higher than the old bell tower but NOT. It's so awesome.





I climbed the mountain near Mayon Volcano and I arrived there in Phivolcs. I felt tried so much because I was hard climbing the mountain and my eyes had very sensitive from sun. But I was still happy to visit that place.





I viewed the post and sculpture abou Mayon Volcano in the Phivolcs. It  informed us about the history of the Mayon Volcano.



I used the telescope that I viewed zoom the awesome Mayon Volcano. It was very nice and cone.

I walked go back to the bus.

THE OLD HOUSES IN MALABON

CHURCH OF SAN BARTOLOME APOSTOL

Last January 28 at 9:00am, our classmates entered the old church. It was so old and big. The church was heavily damaged during the Japanese occupation. It has remained untouched for 20 years. In 1951, the facade was restored by Fr. Trinidad. The dome, transept, main altar, and bell tower were repaired in 1958 by Fr. Reyes. The first stone chruch was built in Malabon last 1621. But the transept, two lateral aisle  and the media naranjan dome were added in the later years.



We viewed the exhibit in the church. It's about history.














For three hours, we walked on the street to visit the different old houses and Mae Pineda's mom is a guiding our classmates to tour the old houses as history. We can't believe because those old houses never damage. One of my classmate said "the mayor wants those houses to remain forever as old and they are for history". We said "sayang! some of the old houses are waste because nobody used those houses". But we want to curious what those histoy of the old houses and we can't find the post of the old houses. We felt not good when we walked because of bad smell from smoking and dirty street; moreover, the streets are small. Later on, we got tired.
















We can't pose front those houses because of the gate and the street has busy with vehicles disturbed us. And we want to enter those houses but NOT because inside some of the old houses have no people and close the gate.
