Welcome to my hometown... the CITY OF SPRINGS! There is no place like home...
One of the highlighted city acitvities is the TINAGBA FESTIVAL!
A decorated city hall is shown here in preparation for the Tinagba Festival celebrated every February 11th...
A festival of colorful bullcarts carrying the crops or harvests in thanksgiving and offering to God for the year's bounty...
A festival of streetdances and colorful costumes, body paints and carabao races...

The beauitiful municipality of Buhi, Camarines Sur...
It's Lake Buhi is home to the world's smallest fish - the Pandaka Pygmea. It's one of the 2 lakes in Camarines Sur that supply the province with delicious "Tilapias" - a very popular freshwater fish. It's clean lake is dotted with fish cages...
The lake was formed by the eruption of Mount Asog, the mountain spewing out water and large boulders from its crater... It's water is freeflowing making the lake very clean and cool and irrigating the nearby rice fields...
Now, lay back and enjoy the Provincial Life...

The beauitiful private-owned Aguirangan Island... also called Rose Island by the locals because of its pinkish sand...
Unspoiled, untamed - there are no wild animals or snakes though...
If you want to have an islet all to yourselves.... this is the place to be...

One of the beaches lining the coastline of Albay Province where the perfect-shaped Mayon Volcano resides...

Daragang Magayon (Beautiful Lady) sits this volcano with the perfect cone... Even in its very active state... it maintains its perfect cone...
It truly is a majestic lady...

Another alternative beach in the Camarines Sur Province... Atulayan Beach!
It's off-white sand and serene surroundings makes an enjoyable and fun outing...
The beach is all to yourselves... Great for camping and or just plain romping in the waters...

Home of the famous Pe?afrancia Festival commemorating Nuestra Se?ora de Pe?afrancia (Our Lady of Pe?afrancia) celebrated every September...
The celebration's main event is the Fluvial Parade on Naga City River, the antique holy image of Pe?afrancia is then put in a procession taking it to its home - the Basilica...
Other enjoyable events would be a two-day parade - Civil Parade and Military Parade and the Miss Bicolandia Beauty Pageant, to name a few...

The City of Pines they call this place... the place that made the Spanish conquistadores think of the name - Philippines... King PHILIP of Spain and the PINE trees of Baguio City...
