Ilocos Norte Post #10: Bats in Paoay Church!

Posted in Media Pillar, tagged , , , , on September 20, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Don’t ask whose rear end is walking toward Paoay Church, the oldest church in the region of Ilocos. We only had 15 minutes to spare in our tight schedule so I high-tailed it into the church after taking a few shots of the exterior, which I was told, is the original facade. The inside, on [...]

The Media Pillar Team (which I am the secretary of) had the opportunity to visit two beach resorts – Pangil Beach Resort and Currimao Mayor Rosario Go’s private resort.

I once asked “celebrated-man-about-town” Apa Ongpin which garlic was better – the larger-than-golf-balls Taiwan garlic or the dainty braided Ilocos variety. Hands-down, he said, the Ilocos garlic was superior because of it’s clean and strong flavor. He always used it in his baked stuffed Tilapia. From that day on, I made it a point to [...]

The Media Pillar group (which I am the Secretary of) was graciously hosted by the Mayor of the Municipality of Solsona – Joseph de Lara. He and his wife opened their home to all 20 of us and prepared a lovely Ilocano spread for us to indulge in. Because it took us about 45 minutes [...]
