For this day I'm gonna write something about my province, what are the things can be found there. My relatives there, places tha to always visit and astonishing view that province can give. The photos that I will share are taken way back 2018. That was the time that we went to province. I'm happy that after so many years we've come back to a place I can call home. Without further ado, I'm gonna bring you to my province and discover it's beauty.
Here we go meet my cousins and my Lolo. He's already at his 70s but I can say that he's so strong, he can still lift heavy things on his back. He's also farming and feeding carabaos. My Lolo is handsome that's why there's no doubt that I inherit his handsomeness, just kidding. He's the one who adopt us when out mother died, with my Lola they raised us and gave us the things we need specially education. I always accompany him in every travel that he do, we went to mountains to gather the recipes for rituals. I also accompany him in mountain to manage the land. While those kids are my cousins, when I left 8 years ago, they are still young children which loves to play but now they are already grown ups, they already engage on computer games. I always saw them at computer shop playing Rules of Survival, and as a good cousin, I gave them money to spare. They are also engage in feeding the cows, they have own cows to feed and responsibility to look for it morning and afternoon. I remember those days that I'm the one feeding our cows and fetching water for them. Sometimes I ride on their back and make them horse.
Then this is the land of our ancestors, it was wide and divided. W shave portion of the land in which my mother owned, we plant pineapples, Calamansi Tree, there's also bamboo trees which harvested then sell. Also coconuts which we collect once it was already black, we are using machete to remove the husk then get the fruit inside. In my province we are making it Copra, it's a ingredient in making coconut oil and other products. It's full of bushes because it was rarely visit, my cousin that living near that place already relocated because he had already his own family. That was a fun exploration, we also get mangos then brought it home.
This is what we called lumboy, in tagalog duhat and in English it is black berry. It's a grapes look like and it's taste sweet, it will give you a violet teeth. We're having fun on getting it on tree then decide to make heart shape using of it. It's so many that's why we just throwing it towards each other. Have you taste this one? it's more delicious than grapes but it has big seed inside.
Welcome to our sanctuary, it was build 2010 to protect the marine species with in certain radius. When it was build it became a tourist destination for those people who want to dive under the sea, the sanctuary is almost 11 years and marine wild life's are not intouch. There are clamps with pearls inside, different types of corals and fishes. It's a good spot to swim because if your a local, it's free to swim before. It's full of rocks that's why caution is a must. There's a hidden cave underneath the rocks that's why it's good for those people who want to explore, there are rumors that there's a shark underneath the cave however there's no incidents proving that it was true, recently the sanctuary was dived by Depatment of Science And Technology, they found out that there's a volcano under the water. If it is true, I don't know if it is good news or bad.
Welcome to my elementary school, this the school in which I studied from G1 to G5, I have lots of memories here because we always play at the wide field before. There's no gymnasium before and it is a open wide field. We play lots of Filipino games like patintero, tumbang preso, tamaan tao using of ball made of coconut leaves. If there's a big plays, we're watching high-school students play that game cause their throws is too painful once you got hit. My elementary days are full of fun memories.

How about you? do you have any photos about your province that you can share? It's fun to reminisce those days, it's fun to reminisce those childhood days that were just enjoying the life and not engaging on battles that tear us down. Best regards to my sponsors and readers, thanks for inspiring me to write more.
That is cool, and your lolo looks fantastic for being in his 70s. You have a great family and grew up in a great place. I like the marine reserve, it is good that the sealife is being protected.
