So Antique is Antique (Pronunciation: /ɑːnˈtiːkɛ/) or (/ɑːnˈtiːkɛ/) is a province of

the Philippines located in the region of Western Visayas. With its capital, San Jose. Antique was
one of the three sakup (districts) of Panay before Spanish colonizers arrived on the islands. The
province was known at that time as Hantík, the local name for the large black ants found on the
island The Spanish chroniclers, influenced by the French, recorded the region's name
as Hantique, which was then read as 'antique (silent 'h'). The locals then pronounced the name
into its present name "Antique" (än-ti-ké)

1. And we’re now here in Malumpati Cold Spring, as you can see, it has blue green crystal
clear water and the temperature is normally cool and cold enough to chill our drinks. So
from here, the water is flowing all the way to the Bugang River which is known to be the
Cleanest river in the Philippines. So this is 20 mtrs deep, you can swim, jump off the diving
platforms or like what the locals do, from the trees and if you don’t feel like it , you can just
hop on the bamboo raft and cruise away.
So I’ll be leaving you an hour and a half to take pictures and enjoy the cold spring, so
howyou’re your malumpati cold spring experience?

2. And we’re now here in Culasi, Antique & we’re on our way to the Malalison Island and right
now before going there, we’re falling in line because we’re gonna experience the Pangluy-a
, a traditional blessing given upon arrival of the tourists, so this serves as a protection from
unpleasant spirits and for us to have a good stay in the island.

So as we’re trekking, a brief trivia, Malalison has been popularly called the “Batanes of
Antique”.
one version of the local legend has it that the islands of Culasi were the three children of
Madja-as and Kanlaon, namely Batbatan, Maningning, and Mararison. Maningning was the
lazy beautiful sister, Batbatan the disrespectful one, and Mararison the disobedient one.
They were punished and kept away from their mother, Madja-as.You’ll see these three
islands when you climb the summit of Mount Madja-as, the highest peak in Panay Island.*

So are we tired yet? Don’t worry because there’s a delicious feast waiting for us.
