Woke up at around 7a, took pictures around the house, got ready for our Visita Iglesia.
Before leaving, Papa Jonel gave us a tour around the town, through our cornfields, then to our Isla. Despite the heat, I had so much fun coz I get to ride at the back of his truck. Awesome! He drove through the bumpy roads, over the hills, under the low trees... major roadtrip! He parked somewhere beside our mini-nipa hut then we have to treck this hill-like thingamahibla. It wasn’t like that before but a few stupid people thought that Yamashita’s treasures were buried beneath it so they started quarrying through it but found nothing. FYI: they didn’t even ask permission from us. So now, the road was kinda rough and sandy.
The corn stalks were super tall so I have a few scratches on my palms and feet, but it’s all good. We had loads of fun. Our Isla was beautiful! There were no carabaos present. The island in the middle was a breathtaking view. We weren’t allowed to go there coz the water’s high and "wala pa daw nakukuha" -- just some old superstitious crap. The pictures weren’t that good either coz our Isla’s kinda far and I’m not that good in taking pictures.
After savoring the beauty of our Isla, we went back home to get ready for our Visita Iglesia.

Look at what they did! Now, where are the treasures??
We went to the 3 oldest churches in Isabela. The oldest was the San Pablo Cathedral, the 1st church in Isabela, built during the 17th century. Half of it was already destroyed, maybe cuz of the war, but it’s façade was preserved. There was no ceiling, which just shows the beauty of the church, but they also made a mini-church that you will see once you’ve entered it. The other 2 churches weren’t that significant at all coz… uhmn… I don’t know! Haha! That’s it…
After our visita, someone invited us for some snacks, and someone also invited us for dinner so hello food again! Haha! We also passed by our Mama Letti’s house to taste her ever famous Binalay and Pancit Cabagan which was oh so delish! I was really trying to control myself. Really. She also made me taste the Singkamas with Ilocos Vinegar. Yum-yum!
After that non-stop eating, I wandered around, tried to climb a tree but failed, played with the well and scared the turkeys. Haha! They’ve got loads of pet turkeys. I was insisting that they cook one of those, but they don’t want to. Awww… Sad.
We got home at 8 and that’s the end! Haha!
