Once Upon a Time in Manila...

In April 2018, we traveled to Manila, Philippines to attend the National DOST Scholars' Summit (NDSS) which was hosted by the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman Campus.

Though I'm a Filipino, that was my first time to travel in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, together with my two friends/ classmates and co-scholars.

The summit lasts for three days. We did not go home immediately, and decided to spent some time roaming Quezon City, Sampaloc and Ermita.

Rizal Park also known as Luneta Park or just Luneta - A historic Urban park located in Ermita, Manila; the site of the most significant moments in the Philippine History.

Manila Ocean Park. The first world-class marine theme park in the Philippines.

It is really fun and relaxing to watch the dancing fountain at night. You'll appreciate its beauty in the dark.

If I would be given a time and chance to visit Manila again, I absolutely will.

That's all for today! Thank you for reading my shared experiences.

Sabagay po, mas importante naman na safe tayo sa sakit ngayon kaysa sa pamamasyal. Makakalabas din po tayo pagkatapos ng pandemic na to.

You really have the eye of a photographer. Well, those are taken by a low megapixel phone camera and it's already 2-year old photos.

Experience is truly the best teacher. I have an interest in photography also, but I'm not really competent.

What a great snake I love it 😍. What you call a dancing fountain is I think what we call in my language a "water orchestra" at least if there's music.
