Coron Island: things they don’t tell you on the tour
What many of us visitors to Coron Island don’t know, is that we are likely swimming in what was once burial grounds.
Finding contemporary Filipino artists, paintings, and photography
Found more great art and artists at “Open House” in Modeka Creative Space in Makati. See photos of some of the amazing art there.

The Anakbanwa Arts Residency Project is now exhibiting art by Dagupan-based artists as well as other artists from different areas in Luzon.

Pinto Art Museum Arboretum
Possibly the only art gallery in Metro Manila that also features a wide variety of art created by nature.

UP Diliman is a top public university in the Philippines. Not only that, but it is absolutely picturesque during sunset. Though it is not my alma mater, I like to pretend that it is.
Manaoag Church during the pandemic
Manaoag Church is possibly one of the busiest churches in the country. During the pandemic it is a different story.
