Miggy's Place: Delicous Food In A Relaxing Garden Restaurant
cyndymc Says: Upon reaching Kalibo Airport, we decided to have brunch at Miggy's Place, a garden restaurant in the compound of Kalibo Airport. Miggy's Place reminds me of Kainan sa Dalampasigan in Nasugbu, Batangas. As a plant lover, I delighted at the sight of greens and flowers in the...
I remembered before when i visited kalibo, the bars were only open during fridays and some on saturdays. Now a lot of bars are open even during weekdays and one of these bars is Abregana. Abregana is a big restaurant/bar/live music place in Andagao. Owned by the Martelinos, it was also situated in Judge N. Martelino St. in Aklan. When u enter the place, the hotel is at your left and the bar in the middle. The tables and chairs were arranged boracay style. Bean bags on the floor and huts w tables and chairs on the other side. As local as it sounds, they have up to date music and acoustic/live band everyday.

Throughout the parade route, there were various little stalls selling everything from jewellery to Festival Hats. The Festival Hats were very popular and were selling very well for 100 pesos. (pics #1 & #2).
I also took a pic (#3) of a local grocery store along the parade route. It was very busy and sold just about everything, including lovely fruits.

cyndymc Says: We had a British expat with us, and while he enjoyed his American breakfast, he couldn't help but notice how the male officemates of my daughter enjoyed their brunch: Tapsilog and Longsilog. Because he knows very few local words yet, we had to explain to him what the names...
sirenna Says: Last time I joined the Ati-Atihan, I spent a hectic couple of days partying in the streets with friends. Luckily I had a place to stay, as all hotels were fully booked and toilets were scarce. Many people just stay up all night, or crash out wherever they fall. If you are...
During Holyweek people come to Manduyog Hill, located in Banga another town of Aklan, its about 30 minutes jeepney ride from Kalibo. You need to go through the gate of Aklan State University in going here, the hill is inside the campus of the school and from the gate its a 5-10 minutes walk to the foot of the hill. You can just tell the driver to drop you off at this gate or you can ride a tricycle from Banga town proper to get you at the foot of the hill. Here you can take station of the cross to a little higher level, literally because its a trek up to the hill as you finish the station and you get a nice view up there.. Also there are life size representation of each station.

Favorite thing: The present Church of Kalibo is of modern construction but retains some of its characteristics.
The Church has a long history:
1581 - The Augustinians establish a mission in Kalibo
1680 - Church was erected in Barrio Laguinbanwa
1804 - Another church and a convento was constructed
1885 - Tragedy struck when a big fire raze the town, including the convento
1886 - Convento reconstructed
1947 - After WWII the Church was reconstructed and remodelled
June 14, 1990 - An earthquake measuring 7.1 hit Panay Island. The church suffered major damage including cracks on its walls
1993 - The church was restored and improved to accommodate the many pilgrims who come to celebrate the Feast of Santo Nino

Located in the northwest of Panay Island, KALIBO is the capital of the Province of Aklan. Tourist activity peaks in the heart of Kalibo every January, as the yearly celebration of the world-famous...
