Gala Pinoy Redux

First, another excuse (remember the first one?). I got neck-deep in work during the latter part of the week last week after relaxing at Astoria Boracay (we’ll get to that in the future).

Now we return to regular programming.

After our quick trip to the Mines View Park, Trish and I headed to the BenCab museum. Okay, we passed by SM Baguio first but there’s no story there so we fast forward.

The BenCab Museum is a museum owned by National Artist Ben Cabrera, better known as BenCab. Many of his works are displayed there, but there’s more to the museum that bears the artist’s name.

Baguio City is without a doubt one of the Philippines’ oldest and most easily recognized tourist destinations. That said, the city is already way too familiar as a tourist spot, but I was pretty sure there were new things to discover there. Which was what I did, along with my travel companion at the time, Trish. We looked for new places and things to discover in the more familiar ones like the Mines View Park and good old Session Road.

I’ll be sharing these new discoveries with you in the upcoming posts so be sure to check them out. I suggest you subscribe to my RSS feed, my Facebook page, Twitter site, or Plurk site so you get the latest post fresh off the press (my laptop actually).

‘Til then!
