Wonder if they have the real Chillie sauce? When we were having lunch, we asked if we could have some chillie sauce to go with the meat that was served, we were given a bottle of little chillies soaked in some soya/vinegar. We then asked if there is anything else besides those little chillies, she shook her head.

Favorite thing: Quiaoit Bridge is a good place to get your bearings and a good landmark.
Most of the places of interests are around the vicinity of this bridge. Before the bridge, you will see the Iglesia Filipina Independiente Church and the Ancestral Home/Residence, Marcos Museum & Mausoleum. After the bridge, you will see the Batac Church right in front, the garden and Marcos monument on the left.
