Caleruega: Closer to Nature, Closer to God

Caleruega Church or Caleruega Park is actually located in Nasugbu, Batangas,  it's also very near to Tagaytay that's why most Tagaytay itineraries include this beautiful place. It's a church in the sky because it's literally on top of a mountain, yet it's very accesible.

First Climb: Mt. Manabu

We finally decided to face our fears of heights and climbed Mt. Manabu (or Manabo) which is located in Sto. Tomas, Batangas. We did not expect it to be that hard because we read on the internet that it's one of the easiest mountains to climb in the Philippines. Maybe it's due to the bad weather the night before, the trail was really muddy, and the lack of trekking gears that made it difficult, each step is a possibility to trip.

First Out of Town: Anilao, Batangas

This was a very spontaneous trip, after all, the best trips are the unplanned ones. We, together with a few office-mates, went to Anilao, Batangas by car and stayed at our friend's rest-house for 2 days and 1 night. We arrived in Anilao in the afternoon, we dropped our things at the rest-house then went to the local market to buy food for dinner and meals for the next day. It was weird that at around 5 PM, most of the business establishments were getting ready to close. They said people there sleeps at 6PM.
