My Adventures in the Philippines
Last summer I had the privilege of traveling abroad and got the opportunity to
explore both Hong Kong and the Philippines. This was an exciting adventure
for me because it was my first time traveling outside of the United States and
I got to meet some of my extended family in the Philippines.
The following slides will highlight some of the most memorable parts of my
trip; which includes a trip to Rizal Park and the Museum of Anthropology, A
hike around an active Volcano, a visit to Cagsawa Ruins and family time at a
beach side resort.
Cagsawa Ruins

Cagsawa Ruins are located in the

Daraga municipality of the Albay
region of the Philippines, where my
family has lived for hundreds of
years.
The Ruins include a small Dutch
town that was devastated by an
eruption of Mayon Volcano, the
areas most active volcano.
In the pictures you will see the bell
tower of the towns church, it is the
most prominent feature that
remains on the small town.

AGM Beach Resort

After a trip to Cagsawa I

met up with some of my
relatives at a nearby
beach resort. It turned
out to be a two hour
drive in taxi, but was
worth it when I arrived.
I got to meet my Aunt
and Uncle for the first
time and enjoyed a few
days beachside; drinking
coconut water and
getting to know them.
Bulusan Volcano
After a few days of relaxation my
family and I took a day trip to
Bulusan Volcano.
There we hiked around Bulusan
Lake which lies at the base of the
volcano.
They also had the option of
kayaking, a two day trip to the rim
of the volcano and hanging
bridges. We stuck to the 2-mile
hike and thoroughly enjoyed our
visit!
Museum of Anthropology

We finished our trip with a journey

into the heart of the Philippines by
traveling by plane to Manila, the
capital.
There we visited Rizal Park and the
Museum of Anthropology.
The Museum included many
exhibits. The pictures Ive included
are from a textile and clothing
exhibit, an exhibit on the native
woman and an exhibit featuring
artifacts from the battle of the San
Diego!
