Bulacan: Heritage and History

May 1, 2025 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The morning sun casts long shadows across the cobblestone streets of Malolos as I begin my exploration of Bulacan, a province that serves as a living testimony to the Philippines' rich cultural heritage. Located just north of Manila, this region has long been overshadowed by its metropolitan neighbor, but as I would soon discover, Bulacan holds treasures that rival any in the archipelago. My journey begins at the Barasoain Church, its baroque … [Read more...]

August 5, 2022 by Katie Cerezo4 Comments

Go to hell. The phrase has lost its power through overuse. Unless, perhaps the phase "go to hell" was intended not as a threat, but as a travel recommendation.
