Hello there! Thank you for visiting my site.
Laguna Walks is a personal blog of a Filipina who happens to be living in Laguna for 20 years. I am making this my online space documenting some interesting bits covering anything and everything Laguna-inspired.
Found in the Calabarzon region, Laguna cradles a number of world-class tourist destinations but it's more famous for being the birthplace of Dr. Jose Rizal, Philippines National Hero.
I'll be sharing rants and raves about living in this side of region 4. Laguna welcomed our family in the early 1990s with a friendly and peaceful neighborhood fit for a growing family like ours. Away from the noise and pollution we got from 10 years of living in Manila, we found ourselves living side by side with farm animals in a wide expanse of surrounding vacant lots (from 10 years ago), night rules on sounds of speeding cars from a nearby backyard we call South Super Highway. As teens, we look forward to occasional weekend trips to Tagaytay and many resort pools as well as afternoon snacking on Puto Biñan and buko pies.
Just like any other cities and provinces, Laguna has its fair share of controversies and issues. And yes, we also have this love and hate relationship (especially on some Laguna areas), either way, the province will forever be special.
I'm declaring March 1, 2013 as the official birthday of Laguna Walks. To the loving people of Laguna, get on your sturdiest tsinelas (from Liliw) and let's start walking the historic, glitzy and off beaten streets of Laguna.
