Quezon City Foodtrip: Bulaluhan sa N. Ramirez

Beef Bulalo, aka Beef Shank Soup, is a dish that is achieved by cooking beef shanks and marrow bones until the collagen and fat has melted into the clear broth. Bulalo is native to the Southern Luzon region of the Philippines.  Every time the weather gets cold, some of us would think of getting a hot bowl of Bulalo.  Eating Bulalo is also famous in Tagaytay because it is perfect for the cold weather.  But if you're just around Welcome Rotonda in Quezon City, there's this humble dining place where you can eat and try Bulalo.

Corregidor Island: The AdvenTour Challenge

Corregidor Island also known as "The Rock" is a tadpole-shaped island that used to be a military headquarters of Philippine and American forces.  Although Corregidor is near Bataan Province, there's always a misconception that the island is part of it, when in fact it is within the province of Cavite City. It's a must-see place indeed especially to people who would love to go back to old times without going too far, and witness the ruins that once became our defense.
