It was more liberating than expected to swap the smoggy city for the fresh sea breeze. We spent the weekend at a super beach resort; the sight of the blue-green sea and the shade of the palm trees immediately restored our peace of mind. We just walked on the sand, splashed in the pool, and enjoyed the carefree relaxation.
On Saturday, we visited a famous local Filipino restaurant, where we sampled the best dishes of the local cuisine. We had bulalo (delicious beef bone marrow soup), crispy pata (deep-fried pork knuckle), and of course, everyone’s favorite, Filipino bbq. Every bite was full of authentic, rich flavors – it was the perfect end to a well-deserved weekend getaway that kept us away from the noise of the capital.
