Lakwatserong Tsinelas: ARCHITECTURE

The pastel-colored neo-classical buildings, creating a distinct Mediterranean atmosphere have been a constant sight for us. We were at the Senado Square (Largo do Senado), a portion of the UNESCO Historic Center of Macau World Heritage, a widely-known tourist attraction and the gateway to other equally important landmarks of historical, religious and cultural significance in the country.

The paradise is calling me.

Too sweeping statement unmindful of what lies ahead along the road. The journey towards the southern part of Palawan is not for the faint-hearted and the paranoids. An adventurous individual undoubtedly can make it, but for me, not that adventurous type, but the yearning to travel and discover overpowers fears, made it to the best island destination I have been to as of writing.

The interesting culture, people, cuisine and the islands, sets the municipality of Balabac distinct with other Philippine destinations.

The horse-drawn carriage, serving as our mode of transportation on one afternoon, passed by alleys and Spanish-inspired colonial houses sans the cobble-stoned pavements as the obstructed view of a small church painted in yellow with white linings came into sight.

The electrical wirings from lamp posts erected on each corner of a busy intersection relatively hides the panoramic view of “Bassit nga Simbahan” of Vigan, City.

It appears like a stairway to heaven. A citadel stands at an elevation reached by this imposing flight of steps. My first sight of the grand buttresses and the façade led me to easily conclude - This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Mistakenly identified by a number as part of Vigan City, Bantay is a municipality situated northeast of Vigan, with landmarks quite a walking distance from the city center.

The Bantay Parish, serving as the sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de la Caridad, the Queen of Ilocandia, and the Bell Tower are two of the oldest structures in the province of Ilocos Sur.

The rural landscape summoned me. And I entered my appearance.

The horse-drawn carriages lined up in front of the cathedral while the busy thoroughfare across with aligned fast food chains and other commercial establishments tended their own world, and some people gathered in the plazas. That was an ordinary scenario of the only heritage city in the Philippines yet a timeless charm that speaks hundredfold story.
