ANTIPOLO FOOD TOUR, Saturday, April 2, 2016





This was a full day of communing with God and nature.

First stop was the Nuestra SeƱora de la Annunciata Parish, also known as Boso Boso Church, the oldest church in Antipolo; it was first built in the late 16th century. 

Next stop was Carolina's Bamboo Garden, a vast expanse devoted to indigenous and exotic varieties of bamboos, whose focal point was the "Bambuseum," a gene bank conservation area for various bamboo species.
