Welcome to Taal - Batangas

Taal in Batangas is considered as the fourth class municipality and one of the most preserved town culturally. If you plan to visit Batangas, I would recommend you drop by this town and enjoy the local customs. The town is famous for a lot of things.

I would like to invite you to start clicking my Taal pages and tips. You will be surprised on how it is different from other towns of Batangas. Come along with me, let's enjoy the beauty of the mixed Filipino-Spanish side of it.

The jeepney-culture is so true! It only happens in the Philippines. I wondered why. But, that makes it more exciting!!! We don't have a lot of free ways that's why...

This is a very interesting page. Makes me want to return to the Philippines - if only it weren't so far away and expensive to reach.
