This so called Filipino time have yet to manifest every time we draw up a seemingly settled form of schedule. No doubt the way we handle time have been perennially trivial in a sense that has become a notable for all of us here in the county.
The talked about departure of the bus for the tour to Naga was seven in the morning but still managed to left Daraga at almost eight waiting for the arrival of the others, isn’t it surprising? And as the bus started to drove its way to our destination, John Paul Molina, the tour guide pleased us passenger with his known background information about the Bicol region.

His serious approach of sharing down the things he knew about region was ironically turned into a matter to laugh about. Thanks to the self-absorbed clowns and wannabes of our class.

The first stop of the tour was the University of Nueva Caceres and by there we met an old man giving strict instructions upon entering their beloved museum which showcases the handful historic arts of the Filipino culture which dominantly flaunts the remnants of the ever famous hero of the land, Jose Rizal.
Located inside the University of Nueva Caceres campus, the UNC museum is one of the oldest museums outside Manila and recognized by the International Association of Museum. It houses historical artifacts of the ancient Bicol, its people and its culture.

We walk to the isle of the museum slowly as we could relish every short second we gaze at those awesome live evidences of how our culture is to be cherished. It’s quite disappointing to leave to soon but the tour must go on.
And off we go to our second destination, the Holy Rosary Minor Seminary where inside lies the Museo Arquelogico.
And off we go to our second destination, the Holy Rosary Minor Seminary where inside lies the Museo Arquelogico.
This museum established sometime in 1994 that showcases Bicol ancient relics and artifacts like burial jars, chinawares, rare stones and ritual objects. Featured as well is the local church history where old Roman Catholic Church vestiges and sacred objects are displayed.
The Museo had in it the artifacts of some remarkable belongings not only to the region but also of the colonizers of the past whom had dwelled and left their own legacy influencing the culture. The place indeed striking especially the curator who is the old woman trying to instruct and scold every visitor who did not follow her allowed rules. The funny thing though is no matter how she shouts “no cameras and no picture taking would be tolerated” still the students were secretly clicking their way to capture each unique beauty of the antiques.

After the seminary, we then proceeded to the Peňafrancia Resort to have a healthy meal, a time off to relax and appreciate nature’s simple dainty. Having our belly’s filled, we continue on our tour at the Basilica Church where we found out arrival a wedding ceremony going on so the back part of the church was now the ideal entrance. The amount of time given to pray was only fifteen minutes. The as expected is to be completed with almost non-stop picture taking which mostly have taken place inside the bus and throughout the tour proper.
The last destination of the tour was the SM Naga. A place where we spent an hour and a half freely roaming around the mall and do what we want. Then after time lapses as fast as it could, four-thirty came at hand and the tour was officially near to its end. It was already past seven in the evening when we arrived back to Daraga. The tour as many could say was fun yet exhausting, promising yet not that educational. Out of this, we do expect a lot more the next time someone spearheads another tour.
