Loving Lucban


Last weekend I had a chance of bonding again with my girls.

From my other circles...i'd always refer to them as my girls...afterall...they really are my girls for the past 8 years or so now.

Anyways, one of my girls, Jing, invited us to spend the weekend in her ancestral home..err..in her husband's ancestral home...Lucban and it was a blast.

We were actually planning for a Bohol trip but due to some difficulties encountered with the travel agency, we decided to scrap it and take a trip nearer.

Lucban is very famous for its Pahiyas festival in May. I call it the harvest festival.

Before and after Pahiyas, Lucban is just your regular town situated in south Luzon...but wait..there is more.

The town boasts of a floating restaurant...a healing church that rivals one in Brazil...a halo halo house that gives Razon's a run-for-its-money and two-peso panadita that is so delicious you can eat outside the historical Lucban church, not to mention the grand torrino (calzone) and the twisted bacon in a local resto that is more delectable than our pizza houses in Manila.

If that still doesn't make you fly, then try to pass by Liliw to get the best deals in your footwear and get a taste of the local posh resto Arabella that tastes like Itallianis and again visit the beautiful church of Liliw in brick red.

Finally, try to stop by Majayjay falls and drench into its cystal clear and cold water and appreciate the wonder of the nature located about an hour or two from Alabang.

There's really more to Lucban than just the Pahiyas...and as Jing promised...next month we will visit the other hidden treasures of Lucban and continue loving it.
