7/27/2019 Day 5 tour
1/1
Day 5 (January 17)
It was still a very windy day. 7am, breakfast at La Eliana
Hotel. After everyone has done preparing
themselves, off we go to the first destination which is the
Malacanang of the north, we were given
several facts about the history and how luxurious the Marcoses
life during their regime.
The Malacanang was built partly cement, woods and other
historical materials like Capiz shells which
you rarely heard as a material nowadays. You can specifically
see different antique pictures of the
Marcoses of their childhood. The house was built right beside a
lake where our tour guide stated
that President Marcos Fishes there himself.
After roaming around the vicinity, we are asked to board the bus
for our lunch. The lunch was held
at beside a very, very beautiful Paoay lake not to mention the
usual combination of Pepsi-
watermelon. I noticed a humongous board of bird count, listed
there was different species of bird
which you cannot see by your mere bare eyes that you need to use
experts telescope for you to see
them and so we do it, a Tagalog-speaking Chinese citizen gladly
let us use his telescope for us to see
the birds.
The movie clip we watched along the way after the lunch was My
amnesia girl though it was not
my first time watching that movie, I still get the click of that
movies theme.
To err is human, to God is divine. Thats the most memorable
quote I remembered when I was a
kid. Paoay Church is so famous about the materials used in it;
the whole church is purely made of
sea corals binded by egg whites. Of course, we didnt miss the
chance of jump shots. Hahaha! After
the shoot, we bought some souvenir items beside the church. I
bought a couple shirt with this
written Paoay loves this Guy and for my girl Paoay loves this
girl. All ofthe items were worth the
price.
After that exhausting but memorable experience, we headed to
Marcos mausoleum. It is the place
where you can see President Marcosremains. When we entered the
room sound of death plays. Im
very, very scared and told myself that I wont enter that room
again in the future.
Hours passed the clock and we arrived at Ilocos Sur where we had
our dinner and spend the night at
the Mel-Sol hotel. Different unfriendly encounters have
experienced for the first time. It was
because of the incident were my classmates were unconsciously
locked-up the room. The hotel
manager was so unfriendly that he told us to pay for the broken
door knob. I mean, its their
responsibility to check if all facilities were working properly.
It is also our first experience that we
reclaim to the concierge that the heater is not working properly
but answered us that they cannotdo anything about it. These reasons
contributed my decision to rate their hotel a flapping zero on
the internet. It was the worst accommodation.
