ONLY IN BATAAN: 5 PASALUBONG IDEAS
Tumblr media
Another Bataan’s pride are the pasalubongs that you can have in our province. After visiting the tourists spots in Bataan you can buy some delicacies that you can  send home or gift for your family. You can’t leave Bataan without experiencing this kind of food.
POLVORON
Tumblr media
The polvoron is a Filipino delicacy made from toasted flour, milk, sugar, and butter. In Bataan, polvoron confectioners have taken this tried-and-tested recipe and combined it with modern flavors. From pinipig to chocolate, Bataan polvorons are perfect fail-safe takeaways for your loved ones. 
SPANISH STYLE TUNA
Tumblr media
A great alternative to the canned variety is Bataan's homemade Spanish-style tuna. Soaked in either corn oil or extra-virgin coconut oil, the bottled good can either be in chunks or flakes. You can use it to put a little spin on pasta dishes, but it's also good on its own – perfect with rice! Amanda's, and Carlos' are some of the household names when it comes to this product.
RICE VARIETIES
Tumblr media
Bataan pushes for sustainable organic farming and many small-scale farms produces hard-to-come-by varieties of rice like red, and brown. You can score some quality kind at a cheaper price here in Bataan, particularly in the town of Abucay.
ARTISAN WINE AND OTHER HIGH-VALUE PRODUCTS
Tumblr media
Different kinds of wine can also be purchased in Bataan. Duhat, kalamansi, and bignay wines are produced locally – most of them good enough for export. A great find for adventurous wine enthusiasts.
Tumblr media
High-value goods made from vegetables are also plenty. Noodles made from either moringga and squash are some of these products. You can also get some top-notch turmeric tea, and wild honey.
Tumblr media
ARROWROOT COOKIES
Tumblr media
You simply shouldn't leave Bataan without taking home arrowroot cookies. More commonly known as araro (or uraro), this creamy, flaky snack is everywhere in Bataan – it's hard to ignore it. It's worth it, though. Pair it with either coffee or tea and you have a nice, cozy snack for meryenda.
I hope that I was able to help you to plan your trip to Bataan. Touring is of course fun, but going to other places is more enjoyable with great food to accompany it. With this, Thank you.

Why Should You Include Bataan In Your Must-See Places in PH?
Tumblr media
Balanga, Bataan – The Philippine is full of wonderful places to visit. Some of these places are not only breathtaking, they are historically important too — one of them is the majestic province of Bataan.
The province of Bataan is majorly associated with the most significant events in the country’s history, including the Fall of Bataan and the Bataan Death March. Luckily, we were invited to witness the province and witness everything firsthand. Going around the province, we did not only see the monuments and markers of Bataan, we also love its outdoor adventure and nature.
Should you put Bataan in your travel bucket list? YES, you definitely should! Here are the nine reasons why Bataan is worth the travel.
Pay Homage to the Soldiers of World War II at Mt. Samat’s Shrine of Valour
Tumblr media
The shrine in Pilar is dedicated to the American and Filipino soldiers who fought and risked their lives to free the country. Completed in 1970, this shrine consisted of a towering 92-meter memorial cross.
The memorial cross is situated 555 meters above sea level. It also showcases a viewing gallery that offers the views of the nearby mountains as well as the West Philippine Sea.
The shrine also has a museum where you can find some war artic ants and learn more about the events that happened in Bataan during the Second World War.
View The Colorful Mansions of Las Casas Filipinas de Azucar
Tumblr media
Step out of the millennial century and walk in the 18th Century Philippine Architecture.
Tumblr media
The Las Casas Filipinas de Azucar has rows after rows of beautifully reconstructed mansions. Take some photos and be in awe of how colorful these mansions are.
Tumblr media
You may shop in 18th Century Style in Paseo de Escolta. Ride on a horse like a true aristocrat or you snap a photo at the postcard-perfect places. You may also be treated like a la señorito or señorita in the first-class heritage house, the Cash Bizantina.
Stay At The Plaza Mayor de Ciudad de Balanga
Tumblr media
At The Plaza Mayor de Ciudad de Balanga, you can stay in the newest hotel in the city built in 2014. We stayed at The Plaza Hotel, an architecture icon in Balanga.
The Plaza Hotel is a mixture of the new and the old, just like what Bataan. It is a combination of the modern age and Spanish architecture.
Tumblr media
At night, The Plaza Mayor de Ciudad de Balanga will remind you of Spain as it comes to life. There are colorful lights and people are just chilling with their families and friends.
See Birds In Their Natural Habitat At The Balanga Wetland And Nature Park
Tumblr media
It is hard to see birds in the Metro, thanks to the pollution and a large number of population. But if you would like to see migratory birds, the Balanga Wetland And Nature Park is the place to be.
You can see thousands of migratory birds in their natural habitat at the Balanga Wetland And Nature Park. The place has a natural beauty that you will surely love.
They have a mangrove trail and a museum showcasing the life of migratory birds. You may rent a cottage or a pair of binoculars and see the migratory birds from afar. The Balanga Wetland And Nature Park is a perfect place for a family or a barkada get together.
Attend A Mass At The St. Joseph Cathedral
Tumblr media
During the Second World War, the St. Joseph Cathedral was used to bombard Mt. Samat. Later on, it was renovated by the bishop. It was named after the patron saint of the province, St. Joseph.
The Cathedral is another historical site in Balanga since it survived the horrors of World War II.
Masses start as early as five in the morning every Sunday. Since it is the heart of the city, you will surely not miss it! If it’s your first time to visit the cathedral, make sure to make a wish.
Visit the Surrender Site Marker
Tumblr media
Located inside the Balanga Elementary School is a historical site that you should see. The Surrender Site Marker is an actual site where the major general signed the surrender documents stating that he is sundering Bataan (and the Philippines as a whole) to the Japanese. This happened on April 9, 1942.

The Health Benefits of Exercise During this Time of Pandemic
This is my brother doing his exercises during on his P.E subject. Upon seeing on what he's doing, I get used to think why exercises is very important on us especially in this time of pandemic and what are the good benefits of exercises.
What are the health benefits of exercise?
Regular exercise and physical activity may
Help you control your weight. Along with diet, exercise plays an important role in controlling your weight and preventing obesity. To maintain your weight, the calories you eat and drink must equal the energy you burn. To lose weight, you must use more calories than you eat and drink.
Reduce your risk of heart diseases. Exercise strengthens your heart and improves your circulation. The increased blood flow raises the oxygen levels in your body. This helps lower your risk of heart diseases such as high cholesterol, coronary artery disease, and heart attack. Regular exercise can also lower your blood pressure and triglyceride levels.
Help your body manage blood sugar and insulin levels. Exercise can lower your blood sugar level and help your insulin work better. This can cut down your risk for metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. And if you already have one of those diseases, exercise can help you to manage it.
Help you quit smoking. Exercise may make it easier to quit smoking by reducing your cravings and withdrawal symptoms. It can also help limit the weight you might gain when you stop smoking.
Improve your mental health and mood. During exercise, your body releases chemicals that can improve your mood and make you feel more relaxed. This can help you deal with stress and reduce your risk of depression.
Help keep your thinking, learning, and judgment skills sharp as you age. Exercise stimulates your body to release proteins and other chemicals that improve the structure and function of your brain.
Strengthen your bones and muscles. Regular exercise can help kids and teens build strong bones. Later in life, it can also slow the loss of bone density that comes with age. Doing muscle-strengthening activities can help you increase or maintain your muscle mass and strength.
Reduce your risk of some cancers. including colon, breast , uterin, and lung cancer.
Reduce your risk of falls. For older adults, research shows that doing balance and muscle-strengthening activities in addition to moderate-intensity aerobic activity can help reduce your risk of falling.
Improve your sleep. Exercise can help you to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
Improve your sexual health. Regular exercise may lower the risk of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. For those who already have ED, exercise may help improve their sexual function. In women, exercise may increase sexual arousal.
Increase your chances of living longer. Studies show that physical activity can reduce your risk of dying early from the leading causes of death, like heart disease and some cancers.
To sum up, regular physical exercise is a great way to help you manage your stress and strengthen your immune system. Research shows that fit individuals, meaning people who regularly exercise or perform another form of physical activity, have a lower chance of infection compared to people who are inactive and sedentary. And not just for the current pandemic. Being physically active can help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases that could weaken your immune system, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. Therefore, I encourage you that please have some time to do exercise to maintain your health in very good condition to battle diseases that brought by this pandemic.

Upon reflecting on the ecological literacy lesson, I see how all human activities destroyed our beloved Earth. Therefore, this poem was wrote and it is titled as "Our Earth".
Tumblr media
"OUR EARTH"
This beautiful planet gave us the gift of life,
But all we did was ruin it with strife.
One by one, we razed forests to the ground,
Until greenery could not be found.
The pristine rivers are now polluted,
Because of human greed-our minds so convoluted.
All the smoke from factories left us gasping for breath,
And the unfortunate animals died a painful death.
Nature gave these resources to utilise-not waste,
We almost destroyed them through our haste.
An entire country was ravaged by fires,
Because of our never ending desires.
There has been enough damage and loss,
We must save our planet at any cost.
Urgent action is needed,
And this warning must be heeded.
We should all take this vow,
To help our environment, starting now.
For the future generations too deserve Earth’s treasures,
Come, let us resolve to take up some measures.
Small steps go a long way,
If we begin right from today.
We can hope for a better future,
Surrounded by Mother Nature.
P.S. This poem also wants you guys to have a reflection on your deeds and I hope that you will learned and change the bad things that may affect our beautiful Earth. And please, I wish you to spread awareness to protect our environment and take an action to save our Earth. Thank you.

Why when it's raining, we become emotional and we always remember the memories and pain of the past that we always wanted to forget?
While I was sitting and staring at the rain, the memories and pain with my past relationship suddenly appears and a poem also pop up in my mind while looking back at the memories that I've had before.
Tumblr media
"I still remember, I will never forget"
I still remember the first day we met, but I will never forget the way you left.
I still remember how you used to make me smile, but I will never forget the nights I have cried.
I still remember you holding my hand promising to be with me forever, but I will never forget you asked me to leave, not to look back ever.
I still remember the insecurities and worries you used to keep at bay, but I will never forget in every single fight, you pushed me away.
I still remember you came back for another chance, but I will never forget how hard you made it in every instance.
Now that you have walked out that door leaving me behind, I want you to never forget I love you with all my heart and you are always in my mind.
Neither you are my first nor you are my last, you are the only love that will never become my past.
I still remember the memories we made and the relationship I had, but I will never forget the dreams we never lived and the life I never had.

Ang Kwentong Online Swimming Lesson ng aking kapatid.
Tumblr media
Natatawa ka ba? O naiinspire ka? Yan una kong tanong sayo para malaman ko kung ano ang iyong reaksyon ukol dito. Akala ko sa facebook ko lang makikita ang ganyang pangyayari na akin pang tinawanan at diko inasahan mangyayare din pala sa kapatid ko.
May halong lungkot akong naramdaman nang makita ko ang aking kapatid dahil hindi niya alam kung paano talaga lumangoy at gaya niya ako rin ay hindi marunong lumangoy. Nakikita ko sa kapatid ko na gustu niyang matutong lumangoy kaya kahit virtual lang ang lesson nila ay naghanap siya ng paraan para makasabay.
Oo, sa una nakakatawa pero sa kabila niyan maiinspire ka sa kapatid ko dahil sa kabila ng pandemic na ito nakakagawa pa din siya ng paraan kung paano matuto kahit na virtual lang ang lesson. Nakakatawang isipin na lumalangoy siya kahit walang tubig at may papadyak padyak pa ng mga paa at may pa pigil-pigil pa ng hininga. Pero sa kabila niyan makikita mo din ang pagpupursige para kahit na virtual lang ang lesson nila ay may natutunan siya sa mga tinuturo sa kanya. At balang araw alam ko na ma iaapply niya din iyon sa paglabas niya sa tunay na takbo ng buhay.
Sanay maging inspirasyon ang kwentong ito para sayo at naway wag mong hahayaan pigilan ka ng mga pagsubok upang hindi matututo bagkus ay gawin mo itong pundasyon upang makaisip ng paraan upang ikaw may matutuno sa hamon ng iyong buhay.
