When we recently went to Tagaytay City, my sister Ging’s boyfriend, Arthur, decided to tour us to their pineapple plantation somewhere in the city. Tagaytay City, is known not only for its cool climate but also as one of the leading producers of pineapple in Luzon.
We were caught off-guard. Most of us were just wearing shorts. And pineapple leaves have spikes at its end. Add to that are the itchy and thorny grasses on the pathway. It really was very very itchy.
But it didn’t stop us. The view of the pineapple plantation is breathtaking. There were hundreds, or shall I say, thousands of pineapples planted row-by-row. Many of its produce are delivered to the Metro Manila markets. There are also rare occations when Dole and Del Monte get their pineapple supplies in Tagaytay when their Polomolok, North Cotabato and Malaybalay, Bukidnon plantations run short of their production.
At the end of the day, we were all happy bring home several pieces of pineapples. Some of our loot was even shipped to our relatives in Bacolod. We had so much fun at the plantation. It’s all worth the itch and the scratches in our legs!
It was another fun under the sun last weekend as my sister, Ging, her boyfriend, Arthur, and my sister-in-law Yasmin went to Tagaytay City.

We had so much fun strolling at the People’s Park in the Sky (formerly known as the Palace in the Sky), and enjoying the cool breeze there. The view is magnificent. From the People’s Park, one can get a bird’s eye view of the Tagaytay Highliands, a members-only facilty that boasts of luxurious accommodations, golf course, and a cable car.

For lunch, we had chicken adobo, fried bangus (milkfish), and barbecue pork at the Picnic Grove. Though I have been to Tagaytay for countless time already, it was my second time to get inside the park, in the last 3 years. And I was so amazed at the eco-trail that they created. It was actually a pathway from the cottages leading to the carpark, but the view of the Taal Lake and Volcano is breathaking. The pathway is also covered with lush vegetation. there is also a hanging bridge right in the middle of eco-trail. The trail is approximately 500 meters in length.
Guess who!
In the afternoon, we had our caffeine fix at the Stabucks Cafe. A hot cup of coffee is pefect for the rainy afternoon.
I was recently out of town for R&R. Revisiting and rediscovering an old and familiar place we’ve been to countless times. We also had the chance to feel the magic somewhere down south of Manila. Last night, we also had a hearty dinner in an avenue known for its gold, and aromatic medicines.
I found this praying mantis on top of a flower somewhere in Tagaytay City. More stories about my trip soon. Apologies for the poor photograph quality. I wasn’t using MY camera at that time.
