Manila Walk Tour: MUSEO DE INTRAMUROS

Museo De Intramuros

A BLAST FROM THE PAST! 🇵🇭


I was able to watch a video from STREETVIBEPH (Instagram: @streetvibeph) 2 weeks ago about the new Museo De Intramuros located at Corner Arzobispo, Anda street, Intramuros, Manila Philippines.

The said museum opened its doors to the public last 2nd of May, 2019 after months of renovation.



The building itself has a long history to tell. It was once called as the Casa Mision Convent that was part of the Iglesia De San Ignacio (San Ignacio Church).
The church was brutally destroyed during the Battle of Manila World War II.



Today, with the efforts of Intramuros Administration and with the help of their partners, they were able to reopen the place and showcase the rich history of Intramuros.

On the artistic point of view, seeing these 300 year old artifacts with full of history is truely amazing!

"It aims to highlight the resulting Filipino artistry and craftsmanship in the merging of the indigenous and the foreign, in the form of religious images belonging to the Intramuros Administration collection."



300 year old Artifacts, church memorabilas, paintings, and sculptures are now on display in the museum and the good thing about this is that admission is FREE!!!

TIPS:
The place is packed during weekends so you might want to visit this place the weekdays. They are open from Tuesday - Sunday 9am to 5pm (Manila)



If you still have time, also visit Rizal's shrine in Fort Santiago which is also located in Intramuros (accross Manila Cathedral), National Museum of Anthropology and National Museum of Natural History both are located in Rizal Park (Luneta Park)

Come and Rediscover Intramuros! Rediscover Manila! 🇵🇭

Paano Ba Manligaw: Pinoy style (How To Court Her: Filipino Style)

PAANO NGA BA ANG MANLIGAW? Napakaraming katanungan na ang aking natatanggap tungkol sa panliligaw. Marami nang mga usapin, kwentuhan, at mahabang inuman ang nasayang dahil sa usaping ito. Madalas ay naririnig lamang natin ang panig ng mga kababaihan tungkol sa usaping ligawan. Pagkatapos  kasi manligaw ng isang lalaki, minsan ay ayaw na nilang pagusapan pa kung paano nila ginawa ang panliligaw sa kanilang mga girlfriend o asawa. Sa part na 'to, ang mga experiences  naman ng mga lalaki ang ating aalamin at pag-uusapan. PAANO NGA BA MANLIGAW ANG ISANG TUNAY NA LALAKI? Yung tipong May flowers and roses ba o yung simpleng panliligaw lang ang effective sa mga babae? Madalas kasi naa- underestimate ang mga boys . Madalas sinasabi ng iba ay, "Naku, binigyan ka ng roses? I'm sure sa umpisa lang 'yan ganyan." O kaya minsan naman, "Naku, Wala manlang mairegalo sayo yang nanliligaw sayo? Wala yatang pera yan e. Mapapakain ka ba nyan??

Insarabasab, an Ilocano delicacy To be honest, this is one of my personal favorite food and I would like to share how awesome this is! This is a local Filipino-Ilocano dish called Insarabasab where the Liempo or pork's belly also known as bacon strips are roasted over to an open fire. It's almost similar to pork barbeque but what makes it more native is that it only needs salt and pepper for seasoning. This dish is perfectly served with awesome spicy-vinegary sauce and steam rice! For the Sawsawan or sauce: 3/4 vinegar 1/4 soy sauce cracked black pepper 1/2 teaspoon of salt 2 sliced banana pepper 1 red pepper 5-8 calamansi 2 red onions (You can add more chilis in the sauce) It is juicy, fatty, tender, and flavorful! You can actually taste the smoky flavor from the meat! It is plain and simple but so delicious! Ordinary day turned awesome with this Insarabasab This dish is perfectly served with some grilled vegies. In this one, the grilled

Baloy beach, Olongapo city Philippines This is Baloy Beach , also known as Baloy Long Beach . It is a beachfront community near Barrio Barretto in Olongapo City, Subic Bay, Philippines . It's only 160.2km away from Manila and that's approximately 2hrs and 30min drive via North Luzon Expressway.

You can also rent cottages if you're just planning to stay during the day. You'll also see some wet & dry public markets along the way so if you want to buy some snacks, beer, and seafood you can get it from the market place.
