Dakak: Day Three

Our last day at Dakak. We would be taking the 12:35PM flight (PR168) of Philippine Airlines. Thus, we would be leaving the resort around 10:30AM.

Aside from packing our things before our departure, after breakfast, we went to the other side of the beach we haven't been to. The area have several big rock formation.

The flight home, which according to our pilot would take one hour and fifteen minutes, is uneventful. Except for the time our plane was to stay on the air several minutes before landing because the plane, with President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on-board, is about to land at the airport. Her plane came from the Vatican since she attended the Pope's funeral.

Our short vacation ended with a late lunch at Conrad's Grill, located at Domestic Road, Pasay City.



Sidelight events of the day:

Aling Clara's Wet and Dry Market. After landing at the Centennial Airport, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (GMA) proceeded to Farmer's Market in Cubao to award ten markets (two private and eight public markets) for being the cheapest and cleanest market. Our family's market, Aling Clara's Wet and Dry Market in Baclaran, ParaƱaque, is one of the awardees. My brother, in behalf of the family corporation, accepted the award. While still waiting at the sidelines for our market to be called, GMA and Vice-President Noli de Castro keeps looking at him as if trying to recall something. When he went up to GMA to receive the award, it was then that both remembered who he was. They made short chat while giving him the award. (All this I've learned upon arriving home.)

True. I always believe that the Philippines have the best views/sceneries, only untapped... making it more a gem. Thus, I wanted first to go to different places in the country before setting my sight to other countries.

Hindi naman mawawala ang mga yun because the Department of Tourism is doing its best to preserve them and to promote the country...
