We arrived at Agguimangan Agro Eco Tourism Farm in Pudtol, Apayao already tired and surrounded by darkness after a whole day of exploring caves, rivers, and rock formations.

Didn’t get to fully explore the eco-farm, but the food experience alone made the stop unforgettable.

From bamboo-cooked Sinursuran to smoky Sinapan and crispy Pinalatan, Apayao cuisine surprised me with flavors that felt completely different from what I grew up eating in Ilocos.

Sometimes, the best way to discover a place is through its food. 🌾🍲

16 days. My longest trip so far in the Philippines. I traveled for 100 days around Southeast Asia in 2017, but this is the longest trip I’ve ever done within the Philippines: Leyte > Samar > Eastern Samar > Southern Leyte > Surigao del Norte > Agusan del Sur > Agusan del Norte > Dinagat Islands.

Ang ganda mo, Pilipinas. Ipaglalaban ka pa rin kahit mahirap.
