"Life is like Photography, always look on the bright side of things" Vayang Rolling Hills, Batanes Qualms of having a selfhosted wordpress site with database more than a decade old equals more resources. Server's currently down as I work on resolving the issue.

"The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it's so great, because for a little bit I'm out of my brain, and it's got nothing to do with me. I'm not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? And I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness " ~ Chris Evans Ampere Beach | Dipaculao, Aurora #travel #baler #aurora #dipaculaoaurora #amperebeach #sunrise_sunset_photogroup #sunrise🌅 #longexposure #landscapephotography #lazyshutters #lumix #lumixg85 #microfourthirdsgallery #beautifuldestinations #discoverplaces #ironwulfenroute

OBLIGAR'S POTTERY SJB Story at #ironwulfenroute (link in bio) San Juan's heritage extends to its age-old industries. Archaeologists have determined that San Juan has the oldest clay pot industry in Batangas and Quezon provinces. The discovery of Calubcub clay jars dating back to the Metal Age, around 1,000 years ago, provides evidence of this rich heritage. Obligar's Pottery in Barangay Libato is one of the oldest pottery shops in town. Ligaya Namuco Obligar, a fourth-generation potter, started crafting palayok (clay pots) at the age of 16 in 1952. The shop is open for visitors who wish to witness the Batangas way of pottery. #juanderfulsanjuan #sanjuanbatangas #obligarspottery

THE WHITE HOUSE SAN JUAN BATANGAS Story at #ironwulfenroute The last ancestral house we visited that's open for visitors and events. Situated at the corner of Marasigan St and Kalayaan St, The White House San Juan is another well-preserved Neoclassical Art Deco house known as the Aguedo Mercado Mansion. Built in 1936, the house miraculously survived the destruction of war. Today, this two-story mansion has been rebranded as The White House San Juan since its acquisition by Neil and Joy Marundan in 2021. #juanderfulsanjuan #sanjuanbatangas #ancestralhouses #batangasheritage #dmcihomesleisureresidences

Happy Arbor day! A few countries celebrate the day by planting trees and awareness to local arboretums in our country. Here’s a little tribute by showcasing the Tanguile Trail at Mahagnao Volcano Natural Park, Burauen, Leyte. The Tanguile is the Philippine mahogany. Endemic and threatened by deforestation. #ironwulfenroute #happyarborday #mahagnaovolcanonaturalpark #tanguiletrail #naturelovers #burauenleyte

CASA SOLEDAD Found at the corner of Mojica St and De Villa St, Casa Soledad is one of the grand heritage houses that has retained its traditional "bahay na bato" Spanish architecture. Casa Soledad still proudly displays its massive wooden pillars and ceiling beams. Noteworthy among its treasures is a life-size foto-oleo (oil-paint enhanced photograph) of Leonor wearing a Filipiñiana dress adorned with actual sequins. Additionally, keep an eye out for precolonial jars excavated from an archaeological site in Calubcub Segundo. #ironwulfenroute #juanderfulsanjuan #dmcihomesleisureresidences #SanJuanBatangas #SanJuanPoblacionHeritage

CASA LOUELLA Story at #ironwulfenroute (link in bio) This beautiful American-era mansion, the CASA LOUELLA, is close to the San Juan Nepomuceno Parish. A former abode of ex-mayor, Vicente Lecaroz. But when his children grew up and the house was often empty, he sold the house in 1994. Now owned by Custodio Marasigan Ona and Guadalupe Ona, the mansion is well-maintained and its lavish spaced rooms and intricately ornate interiors are open to the public. Some of the rooms are open for a stay. #JuanderfulSanJuan #DMCIHomesLeisureResidences #SanJuanBatangasHeritage #ironwulfenroute
