My Hometown!





Well, my hometown is Tuao! It is now a first class municipality located at Cagayan Valley, Philippines. Ever wonder what's great in this place? Check out these photos!
How to get there?
If you are at the airport of Tuguegarao City, ask a tricy to take you to the Tuao Terminal. It is located in Buntun Hi-way.The terminal is just beside the SHELLANE Gasoline station. There are jeepneys there which are headed to Tuao West.It will take you an hour or less to get there.

How much is the fare?
It will cost you P50 if you are a student or P60 if you're an adult to get there.







Holy Guardian Angels Parish Church

This is located at Centro, Tuao West, Cagayan.
How to get there?
From the Tuao terminal, ask a "kalesa" or a tricy to take you to the church. The fare is P5.00 for "kalesa" and the tricy is P5 also, I think. But i prefer to ride on a "kalesa" because I enjoy riding from it when I see the beauty of the environment clearly. Don't worry, it'll just take you a few minutes to get to that place.











Old Spanish Belfry
This is just beside the Holy Gurdian Parish church.You cannot enter inside unless you ask the permission of the Parish Priest. Inside this belfry are cave-like structures which has Saint Statues or images. This place is pretty amazing if you just see it actually.










Kristorey Park




In front of the Holy Gurdian Parish church is where you can see the Kristo Rey Park. This park is very clean. There are benches where you can rest on when you need some fresh air.





CASSILY LAKE


The Cassily Lake is located at Naruangan,Tuao West, Cagayan. Come and enjoy the beauty of this very unique place. I'm sure you'd love to stay here!


How to get there?
If you are at the airport of Tuguegarao City, ask a tricy to take you to the Tuao Terminal. It is located in Buntun Hi-way.The terminal is just beside the SHELLANE Gasoline station. There are jeepneys there which are headed to Tuao West. Ask the driver to drop you at Johnson Palca,Tuao East.When you get there, ask another tricy to take you to the Cassily Lake and ,voila! ,you are there!

How much is the fare?
If you ride a tricy from the airport to the terminal, it would cost you from P25-P50.It depends on how much you agree with the tricycle driver's condition. But if you want to be wise, just ask the driver to take you to the market where the Ugac Sur terminal is located.The fare is just P9.00. From there ask the driver to take you to the terminal which means another P9.00.From Tuguegarao City to Tuao,the jeepney fare is P30 if you are a student, and P40 if you are an adult. From Johnson Palca to the Cassily Lake, it will cost you P10 to get there.
