DAY 5 IN MANILA, OUR LAST FULL DAY WAS SPENT AT TAGAYTAY, A CHARMING RESORT TOWN ONE AND HALF HOURS DRIVE FROM MANILA

KEE@FSWMAG.COM
LOCATED IN CAVITE PROVINCE, TAGAYTAY IS A POPULAR GETAWAY AS THE CLIMATE IS MUCH COOLER THAN MANILA AND IT IS ONLY ONE AND HALF HOURS DRIVE AWAY MAX THOUGH IT IS ONLY 55 KM AWAY BUT ALLOCATE AT LEAST 1 HOUR DUE TO TRAFFIC BUT AGUILNALDO THE HIGHWAY IS A LIFE-SAVER.

THE TEMPERATURE AVERAGES 24 DEGREES CELCIUS WHICH IS PRACTCALLY IDEAL AND THE AVERAGE ELEVATION IS 2,000 METRES, JUST LIKE GENTING HIGHLANDS!

THE HIGHLIGHT IS THE STUNNING VIEW OF TAAL LAKE AND TAAL ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAKE.

TAGAYTAY IS ALSO HOME TO MANY SPITITUAL HOMES, CHURCHES AND CHAPELS THAT OFFER 'REST, RELAXATION AND REFLECTION' AND MANY WEARY OF A BURDENSOME LIFE COME HERE FOR A WEEK OR SEVERAL MONTHS TO REVIVE THEMSELVES,

TAGAYTAY IS HOME TO DIVINE WORD SEMINARY, ONE OF THE BIGGEST THEOLOGY SCHOOLS IN PHILIPPINES AND PINK SISTERS CONVENT WHERE NUNS CLAD IN PINK PRAY 24/7 AT THE ALTAR THOUGH NOT ALL AT ONCE!
