042414 - 042714 - Mulanay is a municipality in the province Quezon. It consists of 28 Barangays and the one I have visited was, Brgy. Patabog.
It was my first time travelling to Mulanay though I've been somewhere in Quezon. My visit to this place was extra ordinary because I am not with a group of travel buddies nor with friends or family. I am with the family and relatives of my boyfriend. We stayed in Mulanay for 4 days (3 nights - 4 days). I came from Cainta, Rizal (where I am staying) and traveled to Sta.Rosa, Laguna (where Jervi is staying). From Sta. Rosa Laguna, we traveled to the bus terminal (Superlines). We left the house, Thursday night around 9 PM and was able to ride the bus at 1 AM the following day. From that time on, we traveled going to Mulanay and arrived at 7 AM. The travel doesn't just stop there! We rode a tricycle or what they called there habal-habal (we were 9 people in there) and travel for an hour.
After that, we need to ride a boat going to the island where Jervi's grandmother was. It was actually the town's fiesta.
The place was very magnificent. The water was so blue and then was so green in the afternoon. Most houses near the sea were made with "abaca" or the Filipino term "kubo". There were also some houses that were made with cement and blocks. The place were we stayed wasn't really the town proper. You have to walked in the sand for 10 minutes more to be able to see the "plaza" were most of the events can be seen. They said that during fiesta there are celebrities who visit the place and even performed. Unfortunately, we weren't able to see them. Moving on, beside the stage, there were some store that sells halo-halo, palamig, snacks and many more. There were also "perya"- a place where you can play colored games and bet on the color you prefer, if you win you get your many doubled.
HOW TO GET THERE:
Ride a Superlines Bus to Mulanay, Quezon. There's a bus terminal in Cubao. Then get off at Mulanay Town Proper. Ride a tricycle (habal-habal). The tricycle drivers knew where to send you. Then ride a boat going to the island of Patabog.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES:
I can't really itemize the details of the expenses because I am with the family of Jervi and everything is free.
