For the first time in many years, my family is celebrating Christmas here in Metro Manila. This year, no Batangas celebration where my clan hails. Because this is unusual for our family, I made extra efforts to discover the beauty of spending the season in the city.

Join me as I go through my discoveries.

I am a frequent passerby in Bacoor. Because it is the municipality that connects Manila to Cavite, it serves as my link to several points in the South. Bacoor used to strike me as simply a place with very important roads. But after a Bacoor tour, I can convincingly say that it is an amazing confluence of everything interesting, colorful, catchy, and yummy!
