Visiting the Tarlac Provincial Capitol

last January 19, 2013 (Saturday).I had a chance to roamed around Tarlac City. It's about 2 hours bus ride from Manila and you will surely enjoy this province and discover the rich cultures & people hospitality. From the bus terminal I rode a tricycle bound to Maria Christina Park which is the capitol building located. Tarlac City is the capital of the province. Another place that I want to visit is Tarlac City Museum, just in front of the park but the museum is normally opens from Monday to Friday only. Did you know that Tarlac Provincial Capitol Building is shown on the lower back  portion of the Old Philippine 500 peso bill that features former Senator Benigno Aquino Jr which is the native TarlaqueƱo. These capitol building is painted with yellow color. Please see below are the photos in front of the capitol during my trip last month.

How to Get to Balaw Balaw Specialty Restaurant in Angono

Going to Balaw Balaw Restaurant in Angono Rizal. This restaurant is quite a popular place not only for unusual food lovers or traveler but also to art fanatics. For typical commuter like me, Take a jeepney or van at Edsa Central Terminal located at the back of Greenfield District, Mandaluyong City. Fare is P45.00 pesos per passenger and this vehicle pass through the towns of Cainta and Taytay. Then in the town proper you can board a tricyle for getting to Balaw Balaw Speacilty Restaurant which is located at Dona Justa Subdivision, along the highway leading to Binangonan Rizal. Tricycle fare is about P8-10 pesos. Balaw Balaw Specialty Restaurant is opens from 10:00am to 10:00pm. Monday-Sunday. Contact them at (02) 651-0110. Happy Trip! 


Art Gallery Museum at Balaw Balaw Restaurant in Angono Rizal

After a quick lunch at the ground floor, I decided to check out their art galley museum which is located at 2nd floor of the restaurant. Leading to the gallery, I saw a lot of paintings and photograph along the stairway. This old house turned into an art museum and restaurant as well which is filled of artwork, antique furniture, and other display. There are paintings of different sizes or themes, wooden sculptures of animals, people and even furniture that looked real and old. But the most fascinating of all there is to see a lot of Higantes mosaic and artwork inside the restaurant in different size, color and theme. It's truly a haven of arts and I was amazed on how much talent this town has to offer. See the photos below and enjoy.
