"Ala eh!" "Pumarine ka" "Dine oh!" we often hear that words from Batangeños. It is amusing to hear those words because of their "Punto".  However, Batangas has a lot of City parts such Lipa, San Jose and Nasugbo etc. and delicacies to discover, from views down to Foodtrips! 

Let us discover Cuenca Batangas! 

 Discover  Cuenca ..

 Once a part of San Jose, it became an independent town under the name "Cuenca" in 1876. Its main tourist attraction is the 700-metre-high (2,300 ft) mountain, Mount Maculot. The Patron of Cuenca is Saint Isidore the Laborer, the patron of farmers. A celebratory feast is held annually every May 15. Aside from little background about Cuenca, I will take you to their Place attractions that will hook your heart if you are a Traveller!

 •Mount Maculot 

 Maculot is a mountain located in the town of Cuenca in Batangas province, in the Philippines. This mountain is popular among mountain climbers and campers; it is the major tourist attraction of the municipality.  It is also popular because "Pelitensya" Every holy week conducted to that place that visited by several people. 

 In delicacies, Cuenca also serves savoring culture.. 

 Batangas Lomi 

 You might be wondering what is in Batangas Lomi that makes this variation stand out. First, let me tell you what’s not in it – vegetables. If there would be vegetables, it would just be onions and onion leeks or scallions (but these are not always present). As for the texture, the soup is very thick and somewhat slimy – in a good way. The bowl of soup is also like a meat stand because it is filled with different meat ingredients like pork or chicken, kikiam, ham, and meatballs, to name a few. I also remember having a generous serving of crushed chicharon on top. 

Batangas Goto

Gotong Batangas was said to have originated in Lipa City. Hence, the rising of the city’s famous Gotohan sa Barangay in Brgy. Antipolo del Norte. For those squeamish about eating innards, they have goto laman, with cubes of beef meat.

The best time to have gotong Batangas is early in the morning to warm your tummy. Squeezing a calamansi and adding chopped onions would complete this comforting dish. Yum!

All those are only few specialty that Cuenca has. It is good to know that this hidden paradise little by little becoming popular to some, but the best thing that I have experienced here in Cuenca was I Enjoyed the place and and hospitable people.

As we travel in Cuenca, Many memories have made. Happiness, and contentment. this place is not just a place  for me, it is my second home where caught my heart so much. And as a Batangena I am proudly to introduce Batangas as one the best place  I have ever been 

Truly that Batangas is beautiful inside out. And can make you tell “ Ala eh! tara pumarine sa Cuenca! “ And i think that is beautiful!

 What is in New Era?

Strength provider Place ..

Since New Era’s motto is “ Godliness is the foundation of Knowledge” they not forget God at all things, it is a good thing that there is a University Chapel that in case you experience hopelessness, upset and downfalls in your studies , there is a nearest Chapel that you can kneel down whenever you are getting weak in to your spiritual  life as a student.

Bahay kubo, Kahit Munti ang halaman doon ay sari – sari “ This will be the perfect song for this authentic dish called Pinakbet.  an Assorted vegetables Saute with Special Alamang that will satisfy your taste buds.

 What Is Pinakbet? 

Pinakbet or pakbet is a popular vegetable dish in the Philippines which originated in Ilocos Region, the word pinakbet is derived from the Ilocano word pinakebbet, meaning “shrunk” or “shrivelled”. It is cooked with a different variety of vegetables such as bitter melon, string beans, eggplants, okra, tomatoes, lima beans, etc. (the list can go on) and flavoured with bagoong. It is a good dish on its own but it is better when paired with meat usually fried fish or grilled pork. My version would be a simplified version as it’s hard to find bitter melon in where I live and it is seasonal as well.

How to cook Pinakbet? In a pan sauté garlic, onion and tomatoes in oil. Add pork pieces and brown evenly. Add squash and okra continuously pan frying for 2 minutes, bring the heat to low and cover for 5 minutes Add string beans, bitter melon and eggplants pan fry pan fry for additional 2 minutes. Add water, sugar, shrimps and bagoong monamon, cover and simmer for 5-8 minutes in medium heat until vegetables are cooked. Season with pepper add fish sauce/salt if needed

Taste the Culture

 Pinakbet is not just a dish it is all about the culture of ilocanos out there. From this one dish , you will know what are their taste not only on dishes that they serve, but also to the culture they offer. So Mangantayon na ng Pinakbet!

“ What are you? “ Who are you? These are the lines  I always hear to her. Sounds sarcastic right? She is the fear of everyone of us. Everytime we encounter her at hallway and even on every corner of our building, her eyes glistening on us, and always make our heart beat fast

.The Who??

It was our first day of class schedule with her,.We called her “Masungit” She is Maam Laarni Dacanay, everytime she enter to our classroom, all are quiet and peaceful. Like there  was an angel came.. And  Most of us were afraid to her.

Exposing her True Colors 

It was terrible day for us, because we have a one on one recitation. And until, she called my name and ask me some questions, then criticize me in the way I Answer her and in the way I stand in front of other people with the words “Ayan ba ang tayo ng matalino? Ayan ba pano sumagot ang matalino? Get up ayusin mo.”And my whole world stop spinning. It was a Slap of reality.. But I smiled anyway.. And I just realized that after all, those words, it pushes me to my limit to go beyond to the things I do not experience yet.

Maybe  if you were a student of Mam Dacanay, you have  experienced fear at the same time you feel challenged. But in the end, we will realize those kind of teacher like Maam Dacanay is a kind of blessing in disguise. We see them terror but the truth is they are the one who will put us on top of our limits.

“People come and go, but memories stays”. This  I would describe my experiences to the most beautiful grandmother I have ever seen. She carved and left me memories that will last to my heart forever. 

 Missing the good old days..

 When I was a child, she was there for me since my mother was so workaholic and busy to her profession she always change my clothes, feeding me and  taking care of me  until I grew up. My granny was a widow and she raised her five children alone. I honor her sacrifices  for her great deeds.

 Greatest love of all 

Taking care of me, was the biggest thing happened in  life because she fulfilled the emptiness of my heart when there is no one for me. She always says, “Nini, tahan na at tayo ay magmemeryenda nalang .” with a big smile to me. I felt my heart my melts. Despite of getting old my granny is the most beautiful  and strong woman I know. I miss her so much

.While I’m growing up she is getting old and getting weak remembering  all the memories we had. 

 Going back 

Planning to visit my granny. It was Seven years ago  when we I we see each other but it feels like a thousand days  without her. I am so excited to see the woman who was part of my growing up..
