"ALEGRE IN ALEGRIA"

I am a traveler. I am a heritage advocate. Ako usa ka laagan!

One day, I was looking for a place to get away from it all. I drove aimlessly, when all of a sudden, my Yew 484 trusty pickup brought me to Poblacion, Alegria.

The word “alegre” in my understanding is synonymous with “sadjah” or merry. Ironically, the place is serene. Yes, serene, but charming (flirtatious if I may be allowed to say.)

Its town center is slowly sprucing up herself with her new plaza. This plaza is found in front of the church with the sea as background. The benches and the improvements in the plaza are similar to that of Oslob. An old baluarte is also a distinct feature of the plaza.

Being a lover of these built heritage, I took pictures of their church and had myself captured on camera with the bantayan sa Moros.






After a while, I walked across the plaza toward the back of their sports complex, and there I saw a great place to chill...


The place is made of bamboo. Its floor, tables and chairs are made of this material.


The menu in this restobar is great. For lunch, we had pork afritada, pork adobo, chopsuey (love the creaminess), pancit special, sticky rice and Royal (of all beverages...lol) We also tasted their French Fries. All of these are great.


Now, since a huge part of this restobar is in the sea, imagine the breeze, the scenery, the light music--all of these could sum up to a chillaxing getaway over a few bottles of your favorite beer. Goodness!!
