The best torta in town

Only in Argao!

Come home to this

Whenever I'd think of home I would always end up thinking my mother's special inununan or fish paksiw. I swear thinking about it wouldn't tire me just as eating eat.

This kind of fish is perfect for the Visayan version of fish paksiw. Cooked only with a small amount of vinegar, diluted with water plus a garlic and pickled chili. It's a must try favorite food to be cooked by many.

Strong foundation

I would always agree to anyone who would say that a foundation is a source of strength. Whatever this building was I am pretty sure that it had served its purpose well.

Corner Bakery Co. Is just around the corner

The San Pedro Calungsod Altar @ Archbishop Palace

Built at the time of San Pedro Calungsod's beatification. It lies in the vast property of the Archbishop Palace.

Anointing of the New San Pedro Calungsod Chapel

At the heart of the new City built by SM Primeholdings lies a new chapel named after the newly canonized saint San Pedro Calungsod.

In most of the times that I pass by SRP (South Reclamation Properties) I can only glance at the side where the new structure is built...they said that it is soon to be chapel of San Pedro.  If not for the saintly nun Sister Raquel, who wanted to give me a car pass I wouldn't be there... not on it's first day of public opening and anointing.

I arrived at the chapel few minutes before San Predro.  It was a blessing in disguise...the first thought that came across my mind.  What was initially planned as a car-pass-pick-up-moment turned out to be a hearing-the-mass-and-witnessing-the anointing-time.  My heart leaped with too much excitement.

Above is the image of the altar...with Rev. Father Junie Tupas as the appointed Chapel Chaplain holding onto the relics with another image of the priests and bishops marching to the alter for the mass.

Now there will be more reasons to visit SRP.
