If you happen to be at the strawberry farms of La Trinidad, Benguet, this giant strawberry would be your landmark and proof that you are already entering the premises of Benguet State University's Strawberry farm.

At the strawberry farm of Benguet, you have the ability to pick your own strawberries during harvest season (November to May) but the cost would be double compared to the market price.

The price is more expensive because you are also paying for the experience.

On my way to Cagsawa Ruins, we in fact crossed this river and there is no other way to go there aside from taking this path.

A man with his carabao is also crossing the river. At the back is the majestic Mayon volcano. At the river, I have noticed that the river bed is dark and it inserted to my mind that this could be an effect of lava flows from the volcano that might have flown in this outlet. There are also a lot of volcanic rocks around which gives me the sign that I am just around a Volcanic region.

The scene I have seen gives me a picture of an amazing countryside experience that is beyond compare.

Another interesting capability of Benguet province that other places can never have is that the province is capable of hosting a strawberry farm.

I visited the strawberry farm in La Trinidad, Benguet and it is my first time to see a strawberry farm that's why this is a memorable trip. The strawberry farm in Benguet is managed by the Benguet State University. Produces from this farm are being sold and sometimes processed to make new products out of it such as the Strawberry Jam.

The Chinese Pagoda in the city of San Fernando in La Union is a perfect place to view the San Fernando Bay, more so if it is sunset. Aside from being a perfect place to view the sunset, it is also preferred by lovers to be a perfect place to date.

I was able to see the Chinese Pagoda also called the Filipino-Chinese Friendship Park in San Fernando City, La Union in a sunset. It is located atop a hill to an elevation where you can view the San Fernando Bay.

Just a simple insight, the park isn't maintained well. I don't know if the shortcoming comes from our government or the citizens themselves because what I saw was a very dirty park which garbage everywhere and full of vandalism. The sad thing is that, the things written at those walls are words I can hardly swallow :-(

Tell me who is to blame, our government or the people?

Burnham Lake is a man-made lake located in Baguio City, the Philippines' summer capital. 

The main feature of this lake is actually for boating activities. It is not a huge lake, you can round the lake's perimeter for 15-30 minutes. It was named after Daniel Burnham, an American architect who laid out an urban planning to the city of Baguio.

Around Burnham Lake, there are lots of activities such as biking, a jogging session early in the morning, food tripping, visiting an orchidarium at the western part or simply relax and just enjoy the cool breeze of the city while seeing the man-made lake.
