For this Philippines entry I don’t seem to have any two (or more) related postcards to put together on a title, like from a same place or something. But nevermind, I can mix different cards anyway, but they just have to sit under the country name here.
From enajpostcards. It shows historic ruins of Fort Santiago which is part of the structures of the walled city of Intramuros in Manila. It was the seat of colonial powers of the Spaniards who built Fort Santiago in 1571. The fort was restored and now contains significant museum pieces and artifacts of the Philippines.
From enajpostcards. This is Hinagdanan Cave in Bohol, which Jane sent me as an exchange for some cave card from Borneo that I sent her. “Hinagdanan” could mean staircase, though I am not sure what makes this cave called so. On this card it says “Explore the cave and feel the clean, fresh water pool underneath. Trek the rocky sides of the cave filled with strange stalactites and stalagmites that add to the great adventure”. The only cave I remember going was Gua Kelam in Perlis. There may be a water pool underneath as well, only they have built the bridge for people to walk through the cave without having to wet their feet, so the water pool wasn’t really noticed and felt when I was there.
From Fatima. At least I haven’t seen such hilly rice field exist in Malaysia. Tthis view itself is amazing if I can see it for real in front of my eyes. I mean, rice field is obviously filled with water, sort of looking like a huge pool. But they have managed to build it on top of the mountain and cut the edges into terraces! And this isn’t new either, they have been working on rice terraces over hundred of years. No wonder it’s been listed as a UNESCO world heritage sites since 1995.
