Now, that’s a happy face! Mrs. Eduviges Y. Huang, FPPF Chairwoman, beams as she rides a horse on Taal Volcano Island on the way to the Crater Lake rim. Mrs. Huang led a group of FPPF mentors on an inspection trip for more shooting locations for the Travel Photography Workshop scheduled for launch in September.
The FPPF went up for the second time in 8 days to the Taal Volcano Island as part of the inspection tour for the Travel Photography workshop which will be held regularly beginning in September. This time, the team included Mrs. Eduviges Y. Huang, FPPF chairwoman, and Prof. Cecilia S. Angeles who were game enough and just too happy to mount their horses and enjoy the view.
The FPPF mentors scouted for scenic places that will be included in the travel workshop which will be conducted by award-winning travel photographer George Cabig. The team inspected shooting locations and venues in Tagaytay, Amadeo, Taal town, San Nicolas and of course, the Volcano Island itself. Earlier last week, the team took the route, north of Volcano Island, via Tagaytay and Talisay town down below. From there, it was a short 30-minute boat ride to Barangay Tabla at the foot of the volcano.
This time, the route started from Tagaytay, then we turned left at the Tagaytay-Batangas junction to go down to Taal town via Lemery. From the scenic town of Taal, we proceeded to San Nicolas, south of the Volcano Island and took a 45-minute boat ride to Sitio Kalawit on the east side of the island to begin our trek up the hill to the rim of the Crater Lake.
We went there again, 8 days after our first trip, this time approaching the Volcano Island from the east side sitio of Kalawit. We got to Kalawit by boat from the town of San Nicolas, south of the Volcano Island.
The Taal Basilica, billed as Asia’s biggest Catholic church, dominates the landscape of Taal town, a municipality with so many old houses lining its streets one is reminded how the town would have looked several hundred years before. Taal is described by its residents as Heritage Town.
