Cu4tro Cantos

The Four Songs of Life

Cu4tro Cantos is the new Ala Eh Blog. Since I cannot provide pure Batangueño articles, I decided a revamp of the site, which I think is more appropriate. Cu4tro Cantos refers to the four members of the Cantos Family. In spanish, Cuatro means Four, and Cantos means Songs.

Max’s made our day.

It’s labor day today, it’s a holiday, everyone’s suppose to enjoy it. Common plans could be going out with friends, rent a private pool and swim, watch movies all day, but the most practical thing to do for busy employees is to sleep all day and regain energy for next day’s work.

The Coco Fruit. Childhood Chronicles Part II


The photo was taken during my last visit
in Batangas at
our Captain’s rest house on
a hill.

Another part of my childhood, I am sharing with you now. This part is called, ‘The Coco Fruit’. From the most useful tree, The Coco Tree’… that bears the largest nut, ‘The Coconut. Well, one of the largest nuts.

One of our favorite hangout during weekends, apart from the dust and sea, is the top of the coco tree. We don’t have our own coconut farm; just trying our luck on some others farms. :D One of our favorite target is Kakang Bina’s farm.

Why?

I Landed at the Same Place. Childhood Chronicles Part I

I did not plan to have a long leave for the holy week. It’s just that there’s no one to take care of Baby Sam so I’ve been 10 days out-of-the-office. Cool.

With those 10 days, I just spent 2 days & 1 night in Batangas. But I’m still out-of-the-office, so I didn’t care at all. Read More

Ala Eh, It’s a great day eh!

It was just another regular morning to me. To wake up at 6AM, to leave by 7AM, to wait for a passenger van or taxi along a smoky Aguinaldo Highway, all of these are part of our mornings.

Definitely not-so-nice mornings but after all, it’s still a great day…

Antik’s, The Pirated Andok’s

Antik's, the pirated Andok's.I took this photo during our weekend trip to Batangas just recently. It really caught my attention and I made us laugh.

This chicken stand is inspired by Andok’s Lechon Manok which has been popular nowadays. Along its rivals is Baliwag Lechon Manok. I was even surprised when I knew that Antik’s also has some branches in town.

What is Lechon Manok ?

Lechon Manok is the chicken version of Lechon Baboy which is pig. Need I say more?
