SNAP SHOTS: Majayjay Laguna

Laguna may be just a province away and is on the verge of exponential industrial growth in the Southern Tagalog region, but on the towns near the Sierra Madre region and Banahaw mountain retains it lush green forests and natural wonders. One of the town which we went last month for the Costales Nature Farm tour made us happy so see more green than concrete. 

I guess, it time for us to at least unwind in the rich greens from the organic farm and with Mount Banahaw in the background and also went on a side trip to one of the nearby waterfalls, Taytay falls. It's indeed more fun to take snap shots in Majayjay, Laguna!
