I got to visit a number of exotic and excitingly attractive destinations for years now, wrote about them and recommended a few to friends. But lately, it dawned on me..I might have overlooked for a long time now, the beautiful attractions that can be enjoyed right in my own home grown town, Buhi, Camarines Sur. I tell you...it's a lot more different writing about your own:-)
Let me start it by listing down the things I love about BUHI.
There's no traffic. The roads downtown are wide, concrete and clean... (here's a look of the main road along Brgy. San Pascual)
The streets are not so busy; people's lifestyles are simple..
My favorite high school's motto...
Our parish (St. Francis of Assisi) have a great patio landscape and a multi-purpose hall made as a venue for all sorts of occasion.
The church's facade is plain and simple
This structure always makes me wanna go home every Holy Week to see the traditional "binalo" and the Easter Angels ceremony..
Our Lady of Prompt Succor who guides and helps the locals in their urgent needs.
Preserved in a vintage touch is the old Municipal building..it's like living in Melaka, Malaysia (they have buildings painted with the same tint as this)
The fascinating statues depicting the first settlers in town (correct me if I'm wrong :->) at the so-called Pamuntugan Park..
The enticing view of Lake Buhi...
...And the Mt. Asog
We have a public market that is just beside the lake shore where you can see and get almost everything fresh, unprocessed and affordable.
The "batag na kalibo"
Buhinons are advocates of environment protection and climate change, and so are these environmental advocacy slogans...
You won't believe a small naive town like this has a hang out place and a night life!
An old chapel just across the main road, revived to its finest..at Brgy. San Pedro
Spending a tranquil morning and feel the relaxing ambience at the Nakabuhi Park
And there's no air pollution..
The coconut trees..and the coconuts are sometimes for free:-)
The newly established private resort in the middle of the local farm village
The ugly ducklings just loitering along the rice fields..
A real native house in a live farmville..
The "panabong na manok" which most Buhinons are very fond of..
Most Buhinons' source of living..farming in a traditional way
Our pet dog "Rio" who always welcomes us with a loud bark!
And our very simple Home Sweet Home...
Everything can be reach on foot and you'll find friendly people everywhere around the town. Come visit Buhi sometime..and hope to greet you a Happy Staycation!
