...a flip side to the mundane and lethargic life in a little town in La Union, Philippines.

The Flip Side

Behind this picturesque rustic setting and the seemingly mundane lethargic lifestyle of its people is a flip side that deserves attention and interest worthy of blogging for posterity.

The image on the top header is a picture I took while traversing the river in Barangay Rizal last year. The scenery caught me and the urge to take a shot of this escaping image from my view is defiantly irresistible. Somehow, the obscure beauty of this place has eluded me all these years, and has eluded even the most profound description I could muster. Indeed, a picture speaks a thousand words. I went on further to take pictures of natural sceneries in other distant barangays like Pideg and Linapew (respectively, above and below) during my visits to these places and managed to collect a variety of images which I’m planning to post later on this blog. These pictures convinced me to create this blog for Tubao as an outlet to promote and inform Tubaoeños especially those who are living and working abroad about the things they are missing in their hometown. I have observed that very few balikbayans or even the transient vacationer had visited these places.

Of course, I’m not just going to write about sceneries or photographs. Much of the space of this blog would be later filled by a mélange of topics and razor-sharp slivers of interesting stories from the flip side that is Tubao.
