[[ March 12 Philippines - Laoag City

On the day I am leaving here for Manila, by chance I had the opportunity to see more if this city. 


Former President Marcos' parents house in Laoag




A fruiting Cycad Palm. The world's oldest form of Palm.

Asian glossy starling

Santa Monica Church ... Or rather the ruins of is a fascinating place




Used for a model shoot







Laoag style picnic places on the river ... Rent for the day!

And a final travel thought ... The 3 jewels of northern Philippine travel. BAGUIO-VIGAN-LAOAG offers 3 diverse places not that far apart but so very different in what they offer a tourist seeking adventure. Well worth it.
