After conquering Mount Samat’s peak, I decided to
visit the city of Balanga, Bataan’s capital. I just wanted to take a break and
visit any attractions or landmarks that I would be passing by along the way –
and as I explored the city, I discovered this funny themed restaurant made from
an old bus.

DAY 2
Minutes have gone by, but there were still no
jeepneys. Fortunately, a tricycle came, and the driver took me to the city
center for only P20. As I got off the tricycle, I saw this mall nearby, named
“Galeria Victoria,” and I went inside the supermarket to buy a bottle of water
and to cool myself down.

I didn’t stay for long inside the mall and went
outside minutes later. The next thing that I did was to visit their city plaza,
and there were a lot of people that time. The plaza was surrounded by different
establishments and buildings – a classy hotel, the Balanga Cathedral, and their
beautifully designed city hall. Near the center of the plaza stood a modest
Jose Rizal monument, and at its back were life-sized superhero figurines,
standing beside these giant letters that read “BALANGA.”
Time was running out, so I decided to leave the plaza
and walk towards the capitol – but then I discovered something. I found this
restaurant that was made from an old bus, named Goto Mobile, and it was
conveniently located at the heart of the city – at a vacant lot beside the
creek, just a few meters away from Puregold Balanga. The place looked familiar
because I’ve seen it before on the television, and the crew told me that they
sometimes transfer to a different location.

I checked out their menu, and I ordered a plate of
tapsilog (which cost P45), and a bowl of goto with egg (which was P40). I was
so famished that time, and I can’t wait to taste their food. They’ve prepared
my order in a short period, and I was drooling as they placed the food on the
table.
Mouthwatering tapsilog |
Then, the taste test began - the tapsilog was great,
and their goto? Excellent! Aside from the taste, what made me happy with this
restaurant was their affordable price. How I wish for them to visit Bulacan
sometime and stay close to where I live. After eating, the next thing I did was
to visit their provincial capitol building.
From Goto Mobile, the capitol was still a kilometer
away, and I was too lazy to walk, so I just rode a tricycle and asked the
driver to take me in there. There were only a few people at the capitol park
when I arrived (since it was a Sunday) – some of them were taking a stroll, and
somewhere doing exercise. I also found two historical markers at the park – one
for Tomas Guillermo del Rosario, and another one dedicated to the Fall of
Bataan.

Bataan’s capitol, in my opinion, looked average. Its
architectural design was similar to the majority of provincial capitols around
the country (just like the one in Pampanga). After taking some photos and
videos, I decided to leave because it will be dark soon, so I headed straight
to their public transport terminal by riding a tricycle. I came in just in time
before, and ordinary Victory Liner bus left.
Now en route to my next destination - the city of
Olongapo!
