GQNPC Road Trip Leg 3: At the PMA

-
July 17, 2010.

Off Kennon Road, we went next to the Philippine Military Academy. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see the aviary and the parks up close because of the tight schedule. Still, seeing military relics by the Korean War Memorial was enjoyable. It looked like a popular spot, with all the people taking photos or having picnics by the artillery.

The park fast became a playground, of sorts. A lot of kids were running or were treating the tanks as jungle gyms. Office mates were taking souvenir shots, while I wandered off on my own, mainly, to appreciate the sights. 

And I did enjoy the sights... but I did not appreciate the itchy feel of the grass! I went into one of the armoured tanks (or whatever they're called) and up the view deck, wanting to see what people looked like from up there. They never expected me to be up there; otherwise, they'd look like they're targets of a firing squad. 

Enough of the relics... One of the things I like about Baguio is the colourful array of flowers. And the gardens of the PMA is no exception. Vivid reds and purples lined the streets, along with the tall pines. I never got far, though, because we needed to check into the hotel ASAP. Hence, I never got to the grandstand, to the giant hat, or to whatever location the PMA still had to show to tourists. 

* Sigh *

I'd love to come back and see the other sights in the PMA someday. This visit was just too short.

Skyflakes

One of the more famous Philippine exports is Skyflakes , a wheat-based, salty cracker. It is one of my emergency food items: I typically have some stocked at home and in my handbag in case I become hungry (like in traffic jams). When there's no electricity and it's impractical to cook rice (because the leftover would spoil), I'd open a pack of Skyflakes and generously coat each cracker with Cheez Whiz... if I had a bottle of it within reach. Anyway, each time I spent more than two weeks outside the Philippines, I'd be elated to see boxes of Skyflakes inside Asian stores (particularly when in I was Australia and in the USA). Back then, I took it as a sign of homesickness. When I moved to California, I didn't miss Skyflakes because Mommy made sure that there's a steady supply in the house. Skyflakes is embedded in Filipino gastronomy as a snack, a panawid-gutom , that anyone who reacts positively upon seeing Skyflakes outside the Philippines must have spe

10 things I learned while driving on Marcos Highway to Baguio City

-
I went on a day trip to the City of Pines, which was around a 700-km drive from my house. I drove  going up there and then from the city to Victoria, Tarlac. After that, my dad took over the driving duties. It was day trip with Tita Ising and Tito Sibing with us. Anyway, this trip was my first time to go to Baguio City with me behind the wheel. As everyone who drives up knows, there are three main routes to Baguio from the lowlands: Kennon Road, which ascends from Rosario, La Union. It was out of my options because it's too dangerous to use that road in the rainy season. The second route is via Naguilian Road, which makes my trip a lot longer because the beginning of the ascent is in Bauang, La Union (further north). The last route, and the one I took, was the Marcos Highway, now known as the Aspiras-Palispis Highway. This 47-km road starts from Agoo, La Union and is touted as the safest route among the three.  As I drove up and then down (on the same day; we were in Bagu

Surat Mangyan

In high school, part of the Filipino curriculum was learning about one of the country's ancient native scripts called Baybayin . I learned back then that this script was eventually abandoned because the Spanish, and eventually the Americans, encouraged the use of the Latin script for written communications. But that's in the lowlands; the rules were different up in the mountains. In the lush mountains of Mindoro, groups of indigenous people called Mangyans  live largely in isolation away from the Christianised Filipinos. This isolation has led to the continuous development of the Mangyans' old script, Surat Mangyan . As I walked inside the Ayala Museum , I saw this bamboo tube (I'm not sure if it's an instrument) with Mangyan script written all over it. I suppose that this was equivalent to a book or a song. But I haven't figured out what's written yet, despite the translation guide provided. What I can do, however, is write my name in Ma
