Manila to Batangas

The Batangas are a province in the northern Filipino islands, and are filled with many natural wonders. The locals, who call themselves “Batanguenos”, have historically been very proud of the local culture. Even during colonial times, when displaying the Filipino flag was illegal, Batanguenos went against rule and set up protests in honor of their region and nation. Batanguenos have much to be proud of; the province is home one out of the world’s sixteen Decade Volcanoes. This volcanoe is called the Taal, and is currently dormant and explorable. You can climb, or horseback ride, to the view point. The main crater is filled with brilliant green water.
