We know that Pansol in Calamba, Laguna is the haven for most Filipinos trying to escape heat during summer, and we may call it the “Swimming Pool Capital of the Philippines” as it has a wide array of swimming pools available for rent, wether public or private.

Me and my family spent the holy week in the city of pines, Baguio city. We left Manila at around 4am last March 20 yet arrive 2pm in the afternoon due to the traffic in several areas like NLEX, Mabalacat, Tarlac and Pangasinan as there’s a lot of travelers wanting to spend the lenten season to provinces.

Baybayin or Alibata (known in Unicode as the Tagalog script) is a pre-Hispanic Philippine writing system that originated from the Javanese script Old Kawi. The writing system is a member of the Brahmic family (and an offshoot of the Vatteluttu alphabet) and is believed to be in use as early as the 14th century. It continued to be in use during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines up until the late 19th Century. The term baybayin literally means spelling. Closely related scripts are Hanunóo, Buhid, and Tagbanwa.
