Calamba City- Laguna, Hot Spring Capital of the Philippines

Another long weekend and the best way to spend it is to visit some of our Los Baños friends with the kids.

I was always intrigue with this kind of vegetable that was selling along the main road of Calamba specifically going to the resort.

Calamba City commemorated its 268tth Foundation Day by starting the celebration with a Fun Run.

If there is one thing that fascinates the whole site of Laguna de Bay with the scenery of mountains within is going to our own version of Baywalk which what we called here in Calamba as “Aplaya”.

I was a given a chance to personally visit Manila Domestic Airport’s hangar which I only see always in the movies. As I join this venture to my colleague Ana Santos as she shouted on her Facebook acocunt, thought it would be bored (R-44, piston, engines, turbines, winglets) but actually found everything quite fascinating. I definitely agree with her.

Malacanang asked the operator of South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) to defer the 250-percent toll rate hike by one week. The new toll rate fee will take effect on July 7. Because of the incoming new toll fee hike price, protests arises from different trasport sectors.

Today we commemorate the 149th birthday of Dr. Jose Rizal. There are lot of activities in store in celebration of his birthday. I am really enthusiastic to know what in store for the celebration for Jose Rizal’s birthday. What we do is to visit his house and check the activties in store for the day.

June is not only for Calamba celebration but also to Laguna province where we remember the birthday of our National Hero, Jose Rizal. I have also mention this to my first post this June and for those who have offices and classes (most likely college students), this is declared as a holiday to the province of Laguna.

In lieu of the celebration, Enchanted Kingdom offers a 20% discount to all Laguna residents on Regular Day Pass.

Family is thinking of celebrating simple Father’s Day this weekend nearby without so much cost (considering class open this week with so many expenses) where we can also bond each other until I got this info when I google it. Again, Solenad Nuvali will have a Father’s Day three-day weekend event that would showcase fun and eco-conscious for the whole family.

I was watching the news last night and what caught my attention is the increase toll fee come June 30, 2010. The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) finaly allowed the Malaysian firm to adjust the rates. From Alabang to Calamba, the new toll fees are: P77.00 for Class 1 (formely P 22.00), P155.00 for Class 2 (formerly P43.00), and P232.00 for Class 3 (formerly P 65.00).
