Montinola Mansion in Jaro

Posted by Marcos Caratao Jr. (Marcos C.) on April 25, 2007 (3:00 pm). Categorized Under: General.

The Tigbauan Church is probably the most underrated church in Iloilo. Its mismatched bell towers might give off a bad first-impression but look more closely at its façade. This photo is just a portion of the whole. The intricacy and symmetry of the relief is matched nowhere else. Not even by the Miagao Church.

Racsos Woodland Resort Swimming Pool

Posted by Marcos Caratao Jr. (Marcos C.) on April 24, 2007 (3:00 pm). Categorized Under: General.

RACSOS in Guimbal has two swimming pools, one for the kids or “feeling kids” and the other for the taller people. The place is quite nice. I’ve forgotten how much their entrance fee is but it couldn’t be any higher than P100.
