Cabanatuan | Microtel by Wyndham

If you are looking for a classy and affordable place in Cabanatuan, I recommend for you to stay at the Microtel by Wyndham. I mean, I have been to a few Microtels but it has always proved me the right accommodation choice whenever I am on a trip or a mere staycation just around Metro Manila.

Nueva Ecija | Minalungao National Park

Located in the municipality of General Tinio, Nueva Ecija in Central Luzon is a protected area of the Philippines named as the Minalungao National Park. Its area centers the scenic Peñaranda River bordered by these high walls of limestome. The place also includes a cross atop the hill and a cave.

Nueva Ecija | Minalungao Rock Formations

These high walls of rock formation is Minalungao National Park's noteworthy characteristic. Splendid will be the right term when I was lying on the rocks looking up at the end of its seemingly walls until it reaches the sky and the cool breeze from the river is touching my face.

Nueva Ecija | Peñaranda River

Well what can I say? Its fresh green waters surrounds the Minalungao National Park most. They say it is usually not clear when it has rained which is why I was kinda sad because it rained on the morning before going there so the water wasn't actually very clear and vibrant. Still, the view of the park will not disappoint to nature-lovers because it offers rock formations which made me remember about El Nido.

Nueva Ecija | Minalungao's Cave

While we were at the Minalungao National Park, we asked our guide, who was a kid because he insisted on going with us, if the cave was worth the while. He bluntly said, "No." Made me say no to but we went there anyway. Thereafter, I realized that what made him said no was due to the garbages and vandals of those who previously went there. Saddening I must say because the cave has potentials but now only few rocks glistens to us, as if saying we're still alive and breathing.

Nueva Ecija | Minalungao's Cross

Back when we were at Minalungao National Park, I found myself walking and walking under the scorching sun. It wasn't an easy task at all yet I managed to struggle and persevere until I reached the final destination due to the curiosity of what lies ahead. I feel that the place is a perfect hike especially for pilgrimages, a journey or search of moral or spiritual significance, because it made me remember a certain pilgrimage in Negros where we have to hike to reach the destination under the summer heat. And yeah, I believe the serenity and view from the cross' top will give you an ample time to reflect and ponder.
