Comment on A visit to Nagcarlan by backpacking philippines

nagcarlan is a nice place. the crypt actually was renovated and not restored as you mentioned. photography is not allowed inside the crypt.

that biak-na-bato pact planned there should never be mentioned by tour guides since it’s not confirmed. history is not based on hearsays

Comment on First time in Quiapo by Karen Lapitan

Once pa lang akong nakadaan dito. As in nadaanan lang ng taxi.

Pero I’ve always considered Quiapo fascinating kahit may negative connotation sa place. Ideal for photo shoots talaga.

Comment on Beyond the greens of Banaue by Jakbkk

Northern people (including people from Baguio) have a better grasp of the English language than lowlanders. you can hear people speaking in English in Baguio more than you would in Manila.

It is really not that surprising to know that they know a language that we think they would know. I have relatives in the north so I know that they had to learn english before they learned tagalog or filipino in order to communicate with people who do not speak their dialect.

i remember that the terraces was supposed to be a world wonder but i don’t know what happened. it’s too bad it wasn’t.

and the fact that we have rice problems is a little ironic for a country that is known to be agricultural and with a place like this, we should be more appreciative not only of the sights but also about what they represent to us and to the world.

Comment on (UPDATE) Shanghai’s sightseeing tunnel by lawrence

Yes, I agree better to take the train when roaming around Shanghai - fare is only around 5 to 10 yuans.

At first, riding the train is a bit daunting. But it’s quite easy to follow directions, you can find station guides in every stop with English translations.
