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 :)

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.
