Exploring the Philippines and Asia - Dinalupihan, Bataan

March 20, 2010

We wanted to visit a 6-month-old little girl whose name is Arriana, nicknamed Arra.  She lives in Dinalupihan, Bataan, about 200 kms from our area in Paranaque, with her godmother.  Arra will live with her godmother until such time her mother can bring her to Italy.



We drove very early on Saturday, March 20.  We went straight to Olongapo to eat breakfast.  We later texted the godmother to give us directions to see her and Arra in Dinalupihan which is only about 12 kms from Olongapo.

Our friends Tony and Letty arrived sometime around lunchtime, also to visit Arra.

What a popular and lucky little girl, with two sets of grandpas and grandmas coming to see her.

From Dinalupihan's official website, we found CT Tops Travellers House, the only accomodation in Dinalupihan.  Word of advice:  don't stay here - it's dirty and their rate of Pesos800 is for an overnight stay only which means 12 hours it turned out.  If you come at 6pm, you have to leave at 6am or you pay extra.  Our friends Tony and Letty and us badly needed to take a nap because we almost did not get sleep the previous night so we stayed the night here.  I disinfected everything with alcohol which I always have with me when I travel.
