I got a chance to breath the fresh air of the sea and escape from the busy streets of Manila and visit one of the oldest cities in the Philippines, which are Ilo-Ilo and Bacolod. I have documented my travel along with some of my blogger friends and newly acquired friends that I have the chance to journey with in our 3 day tour via Ship.
I got a chance to breath the fresh air of the sea and escape from the busy streets of Manila and visit one of the oldest cities in the Philippines, which are Ilo-Ilo and Bacolod. I have documented my travel along with some of my blogger friends and newly acquired friends that I have the chance to journey with in our 3 day tour via Ship. It was great journey with fun nights under the cosy hotel like accommodation we had while travelling. We also had the chance to enter the captains deck, and learn about how a ship traverse in the vast ocean. It was indeed an amazing expirience!
Iloilo is also the home of the popular La Paz Batchoy. La Paz is one of the seven districts of Iloilo City. According to Ms. Melanie, batchoy started from a butcher in the world war era, where the remains of the pork he sells was recycled and used to make broth and then called it “Bats”. One Chinese settler suggested to put some miki on the broth to make it more fulfilling. Making the word “batchoy” coming from the two word “Bats” and “Choy” which in Chinese means “to mix”.
