After attending mass in Antipolo church last Easter Sunday,we then went to the Manila Ocean Park, the newest tourist destination in the Philippines located at the back of Quirino Grandstand in Luneta Park, Manila.
Entrance fee costs Php400.00 for adults and Php350.00 for children below 4 1/2 ft in height. Manila residents are given 10% discounts so am lucky to have my voters id with me.
The place is so beautiful. You will first enter into the rainforest area wherein you’ll see fishes in aquariums, starfishes and crocodiles. Then in the Bahura, you will see more fishes like small stingrays, seahorses, stonefish, and more that I can’t remember their names.

It was my mom’s birthday last weekend and we brought her to Tagaytay as she has never been there before the entire 60 years of her life.
We arrived lunch there, ate at Leslies Restaurant which is one of the most famous eating place in Tagaytay, with Bulalo as their specialty. Leslies Restaurant is a good place to stop over with their beautiful overlooking of the Taal Lake and Volcano in the back.
From Leslies, we went to the Peoples park where my little kid went on horse-back riding. We also went watching people do the zip line and the ones in the cable car.
