After the tour of the Provincial Capitol Grounds, Jandy, Cheska, Janet, Katrina and I proceeded to the restaurant of nearby Hotel Consuelo’s for lunch (Janet’s treat).

After lunch, we visited the restored ancestral house of AFP chief-of-staff and 12th Philippine president (1992-1996) Fidel V. Ramos and his sister, the former Sen. Leticia Ramos-Shahani. The Ramoses weren’t around and the gates of the house were closed, again it being a holiday.
The house is a January 1995 re-construction of the original, which was destroyed during World War II. However, some of the furniture and family memorabilia have been saved and is now displayed in the restored house. That done, we returned to the resort, dropped off Janet and Katrina and proceeded on our way back to Manila.
