Two
weeks ago, you will locate me at the Northern part of Luzon as I went to
Santiago, Isabela. Last Monday naman, you
can locate me at the Southern part of Luzon since I went to LA. Legaspi, Albay.
Colds,
cough, sore throat, and headache are the aftermath of my Santiago land trip. So
needless to say, I booked a plane flight to Legaspi. I woke up early Monday morning not feeling
okay. Leo drove me to Coastal where my
dad would take me to the airport. I
really was not feeling well that morning that I vomited at Cavitex. Yes. A
first for me.
Thankfully,
during the plane ride, I felt better. I
had the quickest flight of all. Manila
to Legaspi in 30-45mins. When we touched
down, this is what greeted me.
I
spent most of my Monday having a meeting for work and staying at the hotel
afterwards. By dinner time, I met
with 2 of my colleagues passing by Legaspi on their way to Samar. We ate at Small Talk. (I don’t have a picture of the restaurant,
but it doesn’t look like a resto but more of a home.) They served delicious tasting foods – minus the
fact that they served our food after one hour of wait (they must have cooked it
pa) and their Seafood Paella is salty.

The
next day, I got up so early. My flight
is in the afternoon pa and I wanted to explore Legaspi for a bit. I was just so
lucky that my colleagues have been going back and forth Legaspi so they know
the roads and ways to the tourist spots (parang free tour guide).
Mayon
Volcano is so majestic. All over the
province, you will see its beauty. Just
a bit of historical background: Mayon’s former name daw is Magayon which means
Maganda (Beautiful). It is located in
Daraga, Albay. Daraga is the local term
for Dalaga (Maiden). Combining it, you
will have Daraga Magayon = Beautiful Maiden.
And it is indeed beautiful.
All
the tourist spots in Legaspi are centered in just viewing the Mayon
Volcano. Just different views and different
activities, but same Mayon. Our first
stop: Cagsawa Ruins.
Cagsawa
Ruins are the remnants of the Cagsawa Church.
The whole church was buried when Mayon Volcano erupted last 1814. The only remaining piece of the Cagsawa
Church is the bell tower.
You
have to pay Php10 each to see Cagsawa Ruins and Php10 for the parking fee.
