I can’t wait!!!!!!

im planning to go to my mother’s province with my family and my boyfriend. The place is good, Dalaguete is a 2nd class municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2007 census, it has a population of 61,405 people. The antiquity of Dalaguete can be gleaned from its parish church. Built in 1771, the year (the year the town and parish were founded), it was a masterpiece of Fr. Juan Chacel. J.T. Newman describes the church. The town of Dalaguete used to be only a barrio of Carcar. But it progressed rapidly. As a 16th century town, it had a large wharf and the strongest fort outside of Manila. There were bastions of stones protecting it.Dalaguete had good roads that facilitated communications and the town already had possessed a telegraph system.

Everytime i went there, my lolo never missed to give me her specialty, bibingka and tostado. very yummy and very nutritious!

In Dalaguete, our town was named “Obo” under the barangay of Mantalongon, an upland barangay, is called Baguio of Cebu. It is also its Vegetable Basket. Cabbages and other vegetables that can be grown only in temperate zones are raised in Mantalongon for export to other towns. Dalaguete has many caves, waterfalls and springs, and for me, the spring is so nice and it’s natural made. There waterfalls here are quiet beautiful. It maybe so simple but you can feel the calmness of the place. whew… im so excited….
