Hello Travel - Philippines 2016 (Sagada, Makati, Iloilo, Cebu)

Sharing some of the photos I took in the Philippines.

All of these photos were taken last year. My post processing style usually shows the mood I was in when I took the photos. As you can see, I've been mostly blue last year.

This was taken in Iloilo City sometime in November 2016. I was sent here on a business trip. This was during the "Undas" in the Philippines. Undas is a holiday in the Philippines wherein people celebrate the souls of their dearly departed. (First time for me to be on a business trip during the holidays. A lot of FOMO feels in here. First time not to get to celebrate Halloween with my friends also. :( )

Iloilo made me feel as if I was living in the Philippines during the 1950s. Everything felt so vintage, so old, yet so beautiful. Since I was alone in this old city, I walked around and checked all the street vendors, and all the thrift shops.

The last time I was able to see fish being sold in a plastic was when I was 5.

Hello fishy fishy! I wish I can rescue all of you.

Is it just me, or aquariums are no longer a thing anymore? When I was a kid, all my mom would do during her free time is buy more fishies and/or clean the aquarium. Aquariums were like a symbol of wealth before! Hahaha Now, my mom became practical and served fishies (not the aquarium fishies kind, okay?) in our restaurant instead.

Poor little, birdies. I wish I can free all of you too! :(

See? You can't find jeepneys nor buildings like this in Metro Manila anymore! Iloilo was able to preserve all the Spanish influenced buildings in here.
