Home to the famed Angono- Binangonan Petrogylphs (the oldest known work of art in the country), quirky folk art museums and restaurants serving native and exotic cuisine, Angono offers an alternative destination for weekend food trips. UAP Quezon City embarked on a Lakbay Lokal 2018 tour of Rizal Province, held last January 13, 2018. 35 Chapter members participated on this Local tour. Both educational and food trip was the highlight of the Lokal Tour. Angono is a bit underrated compared to popular foodie destinations like Tagaytay and Pampanga. But if you’re into folk art and food, it can be an interesting road trip destination for those based in the metro. It’s easy enough to get here by public or private transportation. I prefer driving a motorcycle because you can avoid the traffic. We usually pass Angono going to Art’s hometown in Binangonan, so we’ve managed to sample a lot of the restaurants in the area over the years. But I’m highlighting the ones where you can enjoy food and local art/culture at the same time. Angono is best known for celebrating the Higantes Festival, a fiesta held in honor of San Clemente, which is celebrated with a procession of higantes or gian paper mache effigies, which have become a symbol of the local culture. You can see Higantes and festival masks and heads decorating a lot of the local restaurants. For those who want to get a taste of Angono’s distinctive folk art with native cuisine, here are my top picks of where to eat there. Nemiranda Arthouse and Atelier Museum Cafe Nemiranda Arthouse and Atelier Museum Cafe is a family art museum owned by renowned Angono artist Nemesio R. Miranda (more popularly known as Nemiranda) who specializes in paintings and sculptures celebrating the rural scenery and figures from folklore. The Atelier Museum Cafe serves local specialties like fried itik (duck), pesang dalag (stewed mudfish), sinigang na kanduli (a type of catfish), alongside regular Pinoy staples like tapsilog, grilled liempo, chicken barbecue and pork sisig at affordable prices. AngNewNo Arts Design Cafe AngNewNo Arts Design Cafe gives a more modern spin to folk art and food. The cafe’s name is the shortened version of the term “Ang New Angono” (The New Angono) and the place serves as a gallery for aspiring artists. St. Jerome Parish Church (also known as Morong Church) is a Roman Catholic church located in Morong, Rizal, Philippines. It was built under forced labor during the Spanish colonization in the country, where men, women, and even children had to dig stones from a hill called Kay Ngaya; lime from the stones of the mountain Kay Maputi; and sand and gravel from Morong River. The National Shrine Of Our Lady Of Peace And Good Voyage The Antipolo Cathedral, also known as National Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage, is one of the most well-known destinations in Antipolo. It is also a popular pilgrimage site among Catholics in the Philippines and other neighboring countries. The church was first established and was governed by the Jesuits in 1591. The church houses the image of Nuestra Senora de la Paz y Buenviaje.

His house serves as his museum where in his studio and belongings are well taken care of. Carlos “Botong” Francisco is known for reviving and practicing the art of mural for almost three decades. He is fond of using rural scenes and town folks as his subject. His famous work of art includes the Portrait of Purita, The Invasion of Limahong, Bayanihan, Fiesta and Sandugo. Aside from being a muralist “Botong” is also a poet and a scriptwriter. He wrote scripts for Genghs Khan, Tatlong Labuyo and Puto na Kampilan. His grandson Carlos “Totong” Francisco II manages the museum, like his grandfather, “Totong” also serve as one of Angono’s artist and pride. Along Dona Aurora Street lies the murals dedicated to Angono’s pride and homegrown artists, Carlos “Botong” Francisco and Maestro Lucio San Pedro. Concrete murals based on the actual paintings of Carlos “Botong” Francisco about rural life were installed on almost all the houses at Dona Aurora Street. Along with the works of Francisco are the lyrics and notes of the famous “Sa Ugong ng Duyan” of Maestro San Pedro. Charlie Anorico, Gerry Batang and Ebong Pinpino were the hands behind the concrete murals in Angono.

It seems its a place where the people were more into art and creativity. Nemiranda Arthouse (The House of Myth and Legends) was created by Nemesio B.
