Since we're saving up for a trip to Japan, I told BOS maybe while we're saving for the trip, we can do small trips locally whether it's an out of town trip, a day trip or even just a trip to a museum. Growing up, I only saw Intramuros (and toured around) and Taal Volcano on post cards, alam mo yon pag may project sa school? But I never saw the actual place until I was in college. I want my kids to be exposed and appreciate our culture and the beauty of our country. Have you heard of Nayong Pilipino Park in Luneta? Nayong Pilipino used to be near the airport, I remember my achi had a field trip there but my batch never went there and it has since been transferred to a smaller location in Luneta. I never knew it was relocated until Roma (of Common Room) invited us (the Common Roomies) to be part of it! I had to say no because I have Closet Cleanout Sale but I promised to visit on Sunday!

I wonder what this is. Let's all find out this weekend!
There will be talented bands and musicians to serenade Parkfest visitors! Walang dull moment dito! Ang saya diba?! Sarap tumambay dito!
Parkfest wouldn't be a fest if there's no activities throughout the day! Take advantage of all the activities!
If you are planning to stay in Parkfest the whole day, take the advantage of National Museum's FREE ADMISSION! It's free for the whole month of May. I haven't been to National Museum so we're taking advantage this Sunday! If you haven't been to Rizal Park, take advantage na din! Did you know nag-date kami ni BOS sa Japanese or Chinese Garden when we're still dating?
Picture tayo sa may Rizal Monument!
There's a minimal fee of Php30 for 1 Day and Php50 for 2 Days at Parkfest!
See you guys!!!
For Waze, use "Orchidarium Manila". Parking for Parkfest is between Nayong Pilipino office gate and Museum of the Filipino People.
