Thank you! We almost missed the church as well, the group was headed towards the plaza when we arrived and luckily, Ivan was just starting with the tour. :) It was a fun walk. we'll probably try the Intramuros thing next time. :)
our tour ran till past 6, but that's just because we made a few unplanned visits to places that aren't usually on the tour's set list. :) nice photos. i was extremely late so i wasn't able to reach the church/resurrection chocolate part.
I was supposed to update this set with proper captions and stuff but work got in the way. We went way past 6 as well. If we did the tour a month or two earlier we would've experienced the chocolate factory bit. Unfortunate for us, the factory moved and apparently they had to embrace a more modern method of chocolate production. I'll get my stuff in order soon. :) I did see your photos. I think the one of the Baranggay Chairman's office was funny... :)
Parang nauuso 'to ngayon ah :p
