This post is the 2nd part in the "Free Admission to the National Museum" adventure that the kids and I had. The first part can be seen here. The focus of this post is the Museum of Anthropology, also known as the Museum of the Filipino People. It is located at the old Department of Finance Building in Rizal Park and may be considered as an extension of the National Museum. It contains anthropological and archaeological artifacts about our Filipino heritage.
I started this blog as an alternative to talking to my mom who died so suddenly. It has evolved since then as an online journal for my family's adventures and misadventures - our travels, our dining out, our entertainment and so much more! Feel free to leave your reactions :)
Free Admission to the National Museum: Part 1 - The National Art Gallery
05 May 2016
I've always wanted to revisit the National Museum with my kids. I used to be able to visit it when I worked at the Senate since at one point, it was where the Upper House held their sessions and I'd go around at idle moments. For the month of May, since it's National Heritage Month, the National Museum has offered "Free Admission" which made it a good time for an educational/cultural trip. The "Free Admission" allows you to enter the National Museum (the National Art Gallery), the Museum of the Filipino People (old Department of Finance Building) and the National Planetarium and all other regional museums in the country. The National Museum is located at P. Burgos Drive, Rizal Park, Manila.

Trip to Pililia Wind Farm: Lunch first at Cafe Katerina
30 April 2016
Yesterday, we decided that since Patrick was test driving the new Hyundai Tucson for Top Gear Philippines, we could go back to the Pililia Wind Farm and see if we could actually finish what we started before (read about our previous trip here). We left the house at 10AM and arrived around lunchtime at our first stop, Cafe Katerina. Cafe Katerina is a restaurant offering Filipino dishes located atop a hill affording a scenic overlook of the Tanay, Rizal area all the way to Laguna de Bay.

28- 29 April 2016
Last April 28, Dana and her friends made plans to hang out in Greenhills. Seeing as Patrick was out of town, Dylan and I decided to go with her although of course, I told her that when we got there Dylan and I will separate from her and her group. It turned out that Dylan and I went ahead of them because some of her friends weren't there yet at their meeting place. I told her to text me when they arrive in Greenhills.
