Ogtonganons have something to be proud of again today. The 4th Fiber Fashion Fair at SM City Event Center showcased Oton’s indigenous product – the “hablon”.

After a day of staying at home because of typhoon Mina (thank God the rain stopped or else we might have experienced flooding as well), Tim and I decided to get out of the house and take advantage of the great weather.

With Mr. Flord Calawag (Gen. Man. of Tibiao Fish Spa) - Sipal-Lagaw sa Tibiao.

I just had another weekend of pure awesomeness! It has been a string of travel weekends for me and last weekend was no exception. So here’s how I got lucky -again: Junelle was given an invitation by Ma’am Pearl Lena which she relayed to us in our Iloilo Bloggers Inc. group page on Facebook. It was an invitation from the Iloilo City Hall Press Corp for 2 bloggers to join them in ICHPC’s Lakbay Aral with DOT on June 18-20, 2011. Since no one was available – except me and Junnjun of GigsIlonggo) – that’s how we got lucky! :D

My brother EJ. :)

I am an avid fan of Tibiao Fish Spa. In fact everytime I have friends/visitors/family members who are visiting Iloilo I always take them to TFS’s branch at SM City Iloilo.

It has always been my dream to go to Tibiao Fish Spa’s main branch located at – of course – Tibiao, Antique. But I have never found the time to schedule our trip there. My summer has been really busy  – what with work and my frequent weekend trips and school – so I have never been able to fit the Tibiao trip in my schedule. But I resolve to go to TFS Tibiao before the year ends!

Hablon and other products of Oton.

I am so blessed to be living in Oton, one of the attractive rural communities in Iloilo. Oton is a first class municipality in the province of Iloilo, about 30 minutes west of the city. I get to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city then go home to my lovely, quiet town at the end of the day. We’ve been living here for 11 years now (we used to live in Jaro). And so far I am loving my life here.
