Balisong - Batangas knives

by StefanosS

Balisong traces it's ancestry to 800AD, as one of the ancient weapons of the mystic art of Kali, the Malaya-Polynesian fighting system and as a beautiful and unique weapon of the Philippines.

The barrio Balisong itself, in Taal town, took its name from the knife, which has been made there since time immemorial. Balisong, literally means "broken horn". It is derived from the Tagalog language words baling = to break and sungay = horn of the water buffalo. The handle was once entirely made from buffalo horn, which has a plastic-like quality and is easily carved.The original balisongs are still handmade in the traditional manner.

Taal valcano

by TonyGo

Only if you have a day to spare,you can make your way to see the worlds smallest volcano,Tall valcano.It last erupted in 1977.The volcanic Island sits in the middle of a lake and the main crater is in the middle of the Island.Within this crater is a yellow sulphurous lake.Think of it as a lake within a lake.The hike to the crater takes about 1 hour or you can hire a old horse.bring lots of water as the trail is hot and dusty.

Originally designed to be the presidential guesthouse of former president Ferdinand Marcos this complex was not completed. It is, however; now open to the public as a vantage area for viewing a 360-degree profile of Taal Volcano. It is within the Tagaytay environs.
