Travel: Central Philippine University, ILOILO

When my niece Frances decided to pursue a degree in Medicine, not in our city but one across the sea, I was a bit hesitant. Too far, although it's just an hour ferry ride, but still the feeling of uncertainty was there. 

Before the semester ended, I made sure I visit her apartment where she's sharing with other three med students, and dropped by her university as well. 

I was impressed. The huge 24-hectares campus, with its century old trees and old style buildings, it was not just an educational institution but a community conducive for learning. 

Although I still worry about Frances' safety in Iloilo, I still have that hesitance, but then I am positive that this kind of independence will make her stronger, experienced, and bring her to places. 

Travel: ILOILO

Before the school break came to an end, Mabe and I went on a short vacation. I wanted Mabe to explore the other island across Negros, although she's been in Iloilo for a couple of times already. This time however, we came to visit her cousin Frances, who's taking up Medicine, visit her school and her apartment as well.  

I only brought a 50mm lens in my camera 'coz I'm too lazy to carry the bigger lens. The photos in this entry were all taken at the 8th and 21st floor of Injap Tower Hotel where we stayed.

So here's Iloilo, The City of Love, from the highest peak in Western Visayas.
