    Bulacan is a province in the Philippines known mostly for its old churches, heritage sites and heroes. Though it's home to some historic caves, it isn't really considered a top destination for adventure-seekers.

  • Introducing Angat Rainforest And Eco Park

    It was just a couple of months ago when, after evaluating the ecotourism potential of Angat Watershed and submitting the development framework plan, I got invited to the "soft launch" of now Angat Rainforest and Ecopark.

    My jaws literally dropped and I could not believe that the National Power Corporation people would be working so fast to make things happen! The phrase, "if there's a will, there's a way" is clearly translated into action here.

    The photo above is now the view from the viewdeck identified in the plan. Even the NPC people were saying that this is much better than the first ...
