Tacsiyapo

It is a floating restaurant with huts all around. The overall ambiance is exciting, charming, and unique. Once you arrive, they would give you free fish food so that you can feed the coi fishes. You'll be lucky if you can reserve a single detached huts as seen above.

This is actually a Barrio Fiesta sister company so expect the Filipino food to be great since it is already tried and tested through the years. They serve the sinigang soup in Bamboo containers. You can order refreshing coconuts which is very good after a long drive.

This would be a traditional Filipino feast with dishes served in Banana leaves and rice served in a small kaldero. If you are lucky with the San Kilo challenge, you can have one kilo of fish for free :)

Tagaytay

Tagaytay, officially the City of Tagaytay (Filipino: Lungsod ng Tagaytay), is a component city in the province of Cavite, in the Philippines. It is one of the country's most popular tourist destinations because of outstanding scenery and cooler climate provided by its high altitude. Tagaytay overlooks Taal Lake in Batangas and provides one of the iconic views of the Philippines, the view of Taal Volcano Island in the middle of the lake, viewable from several vantage points in the city.

Tagaytay is relatively close to the capital city of Manila, only 55 km (34 mi) away via Aguinaldo Highway, providing an easy escape for the locals from the heat of the big city.

Summer Outing with Fr.Ehersey (Spiritual Director)

It was an annual summer outing in our church because I'm an altar server and yearly we conducted a summer outing or swimming for our organization or also known as KAbataang LIngkod ng Sakramento or KALIS.

We try to go to different places and sometimes we held activities like team building.

I was in my 5th year in serving in the mass and I'm really happy with it. 

Every single moment i'm with them, i can't put away my smile, so I'm really happy about the outing.

Iba yung pakiramdam ng malinis at sariwang hangin ang ating nalalanghap, it was a memorable place. Masarap enjoyin ang mga oras at panahon na naroroon ka dahil sa sobrang payapa at linis ng lugar. Maraming pwedeng puntahan gaya ng talon at mga kweba rito. Marami ring mga ibat ibang paniniwala ang mga tao doon kagaya sa mga anting anting o agimat.
