Batangas, escape from Mnl

A day trip to Batangas is perfect as it is filled with ancestral houses and structures sporting architecture dating back to the 19th century and the Spanish colonial era. There are more than a hundred heritage structures in the Taal heritage town. Don’t miss the Taal Basilica Minore de San Martin de Tours and several museums and learn more about the history of the town.

Batangas boasts its old native hand embroidery known as Burdang Taal. It involves a long painstaking process from the initial gathering and drying of raw materials like pineapple and abaca fibres to weaving these fibres using a loom.

Another famous product from the province is “balisong” or butterfly knife. Batangas is where craftsmen of blades reside – from the moulding of metal sheets to the sharpening of knives.
