Miniature Spanish Town and Manunggul Jar

The town of San Diego described by Dr. Jose Rizal in Chapter 10 of the Noli Me Tangere is a microcosm of a typical Spanish pueblo or town. An interactive video presentation of the miniature San Diego comes to life in the Spanish period National Historical Institute.

I’m not sure what museum this picture was taken from (or was it at the National Historical Institute).

A brief note was written at the back of the picture.

The showcase for pre-conquest history of the Philippine includes a replica of the Manunggul jar, Ambahan writings on bamboo tubes, Calatagan jar and Laguna copperplate which contain ancient inscriptions.

Boracay Visitors be Mindful of the New Rules and Regulations While You’re in the Island

Boracay, the country’s major tourist destination, will have its soft opening next week. Boracay was closed last April to give way to the government program that would address the sewage and overcrowding problems that beset the island for so many years.

The Philippine resort island  is located in Malay, Aklan.

Environment and tourism officials vowed to implement new rules and regulations for the visitors to observe while staying in the island.
