To continue with the very successful CALABARZON Philippine Experience Program , we proceeded to Quezon where the provincial officials were waiting for us with another treasure chest of interesting discoveries we made in their province.
An interesting segment bannered the food heritage tour by renowned culinary guru, Maria Cristina Decal, through her Kulinarya Tagala Program where we learned more about the traditional coconut wine ritual, the Tagayan.The following morning, we were all excited as we prepared for a thrilling activity that I’ve done before and have been looking forward to doing again — shooting the rapids at Pagsanjan.
After a quick change of clothes, we found ourselves at Calle Arco, a 70-year-old ancestral home in Pagsanjan which is now a trendy restaurant serving traditional Filipino dishes. The interiors, typically that of an old house, have a very homey feel to them, a very relaxing ambience.After all the excitement at Pagsanjan Falls, we easily devoured the restaurant’s specialties – Binagoongan Crispy Pata, Garlic Chicken, and their special Pancit Pagsanjan.
Our next stop was Lumban, popular for its intricately embroidered barong materials. We were treated to an embroidery demonstration by the town’s womenfolk and I sat there mesmerized by the beautiful embroidery patterns they created. It was like they were verbalizing delightful poetry through the detailed rosettes and other floral patterns they skillfully handcrafted on the barong material.
