MIA Again

I'm sorry if I went MIA again. It's hard trying to balance my freelance writing job with doing home chores and running 3 blogs.

Last week there was a gay boxing competition at the town plaza which I missed. It was raining, I had no one to leave my 3-year-old daughter with, yaddi, yadda (I'm just making up excuses as you can probably tell). But when I saw the banner announcing the boxing match, I took a mental note of the schedule for the Ms. Gay Silang Diosa ng Kalikasan Beauty Pageant. The pageant will be held on June 6 and I'll make sure I'll be there :) Yay!

Some news: RJ Poblete's tattoo shop is now closed. He will re-open the shop at a different location. When that happens, I'll tell you when and where.

Balite Falls & Spring

The Balite Falls and Springs resort is not located in Silang, Cavite but pretty close ;p It is located in Brgy. Halang, Amadeo Cavite.


You can get to the resort by driving through Brgy. Lucsuhin and Kalubkob in Silang. Cavite.

If you're travelling from Manila, this site provides the instructions on how to get to Balite Falls.

Multiple Intelligence Preschool

The Elisea School of Creative Learning is the only school (that I know of) in this town that uses the concept of Multiple Intelligence in educating preschoolers.



The nursery classroom has two sinks, its own toilet, a baby slide, wooden blocks and other toys. The teachers use modules that they created to meet the needs of preschool students.

They don't use a numerical grading system and there is no honor roll. Measurement of skills is more qualitative than quantitative.

The tuition is pretty steep compared to ther preschools in Silang, Cavite but I really think this is the best preschool in town.

Chowking- Silang Soon To Open

My dad can't wait for this store to open. He loves Chow Fan rice. I like Tofu with Pork :) The store is on J.P. Rizal street, right beside the Philippine National Bank- Silang branch and opposite the catholic church.

Information on Chowking from Wikipedia:

Chowking (Chinese: 超群) is a Philippine-based chain that pioneered the Oriental quick-service restaurant concept in the Philippines. The concept combines the best in Western fast-food style of service and the the delicious taste of Chinese food. Chowking predominantly sells noodle soups, dimsum, and rice toppings. The company was founded in 1985 at a time when western-style burger joints were dominating the Philippine fast food scene.

Silang Cavite Fiesta Karakol 2009

Just some pictures I took of the Karakol. 94 groups joined this year.

2009 Fiesta Parade

Here are several photos I took of the Fiesta Parade. I didn't get to see the whole parade because my daughter woke up pretty late. My dad counted 18 marching bands this year.

It's probably obvious to the readers of Explore Silang that I suck at photography. I promise to work on my photography skills this year :-)

Town Fiesta

Silang Cavite's Catholic Fiesta is on Monday- February 2.

The people usually celebrate for three days, from February 1 - February 3. You can start visiting houses on February 1 and expect to be fed :)

I'm looking forward to the parade that will happen on Monday. That's always fun. At least 15 marching bands EVERY year. Growing up in this town and not being allowed to go out much as a kid and teenager, that was something I always looked forward to. I live for that parade.
