Actually, my grandfather's province was in Batangas. But honestly speaking i haven't visited it yet because my grandpa transfer here in Metro Manila when he was married to my grandma. Thanks to my field trip in high school because we visit Batangas at last. We visited the Cathedral of Batangas which is known for its gold and silver altar table because according to the tour guide during the Spanish era most of the people who lived in Batangas are rich and they offer golds and silver to the church that makes it an altar table. Next stop was the Balisong Factory the famous product of Batangas, now i realize that its not that easy to make a simple Balisong for it undergo a lot of different processes from heating the metal to the highest temperature, smashing the metal to form a Balisong shape, then sharpening will follow to make it useful and lastly is the designing of the casing or the hand grip of the Balisong. Most of us likes sweets and that's our next destination the area of Panutsa Makers. Panutsa are peanuts with brown sugar that formed a thin circle shape because of the caramel of brown sugar. Its a little bit easy to make a Panutsa than to make a Balisong because the people there demo it to us and allow us also to interact in the cooking process. 1st thing is to heat the "Kawa" where the brown sugar will be caramelized then 2nd is to caramelized the sugar after it is 3rd to put the cook peanuts in the caramelized sugar, continue stirring until it became thick and lastly the fourth step is what they called "Palo-Palo" it is where the mixed ingredients put in a clean table and to be hit by a "palo-palo" to make it flat and whole. It is fun to make panutsa. Going to your hometown can't be replace by going to any place around.
