One Friday evening my dad got home from work and told me to cook rice for dinner. Being the lazy but obedient daughter that I am, I did the chore albeit reluctantly. Syempre guys malungkot ako ganyan kasi puro utos nalang sakin sa bahay (haha ang drama ko talaga nung araw na yan) pero while I was doing the chore my dad asked, “Nak, san tayo gagala bukas?” and bes …marupok ako. Natuwa ako slight kasi ang tagal ko na sinasabi sa papa ko na umalis naman kami kasi nabubulok na ako sa bahay kasi bakasyon ko and I was only thinking of going to the mall LOL but my dad was thinking big. “Tara, Mt. Samat?” so voila, the next day we went to Bataan! 

where we went

1. Mt. Samat - the elevator going all the way up the cross was closed so we only walked up until the top of the mountain :-( for a person who has fear of heights, this wasn’t a really scary trail haha

2. Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar - this place is soooo nice because it’s full of beautiful traditional houses! I heard this is where they shot the death scene in Heneral Luna. Anyway, it was super beautiful but we didn’t push through with the day tour because it’s suuuuper pricey huhu.

3. Dunsulan Falls - the entrance is super cheap (Php50) and it’s not crowded! We didn’t bring any extra clothes so we didn’t swim but we tried their tree hopping for only Php300 each. Again, for a person who has fear of heights, the tree hopping adventure was pretty scary but very enjoyable! You’ll feel accomplished after finishing their six activities! 

I also made a montage of this trip! You can watch it here :)
