Top Mommy Blogger Philippines ~ A blog about everyday mommy issues, parenting, marriage, kids, a little bit of travel, and beauty — basically all about me and my family.
When we were in Bellaroca two months ago. Sis wanted to check out the golf course on the other island. Rome, peanutbutter♥ and I was too lazy to haul our comfortable asses up to get on a boat. My reason was I didn’t know how to play golf. Well, now that I’ve thought about it, we shouldv’e gone and check it out, you know, just to experience it.
We are not required to bring our golf clubs and garmin golf watch anyway.
I so regret not going with sis. I know it would’ve been a fun experience.
Like what I said in my previous post, it was a Sunday when we went to Boac and all establishments are closed. We decided to go to the Boac Cathedral which is located just a few walks away from the hotel.
The Boac Cathedral was built in 1792 and is home to the Holy Mother of Mercy. The Katipunan flag was blessed on this church in 1899.
The people in the town of Boac believed that their patron saint rescued them during the Moro’s attack in the 18th century.
After church, we went to the town plaza. Bodette’s Gift Shop carries all kinds of souvenirs and pasalubongs. They also sell masks used for the Moriones festival. I was able to buy the nicest, most effective “suyod” here.

After checking out of Bellaroca, we took a tricycle and a jeepney going to Boac. we had reservations here at The Boac Hotel which is think is the most decent hotel in town. It was a Sunday, almost all establishments are closed except for the church, the gift shop and the hippest restaurant at the plaza.
Upon arrival, we were given a glass of iced tea as a welcome drink and each of us gets a fan {I chose the green one}.
The history, rich culture and the traditions of this small town are the first thing you will notice upon entrance in the lobby as well as in the interior design of the hotel, giving it the ambience of a cozy old home. If you’re on the coward side, it might give you a little bit of a “bahay-ni-lola” feel or haunted hotel feel. Nevertheless, I found it homey
I love this chandelier! It reminds me of the scene in Coraline where in she had dinner in the “other mother’s” house and the other mother was trying to lure her with a lavish spread. Different flavors of smoothies were served in a “chandelier-like” container like this. It automatically went down so Coraline can get a glass of smoothie.
We got this Family Deluxe room for P2,000. It has two double beds, an a/c, a bathroom, towels, soap and shampoo. The bathroom was really small but there was a water heater. What you can see for yourself is what you get. It is a really small room!!
