Day Tour in Intramuros: The City Within A City

I use my social media accounts as an outlet for my creative needs. I don't find myself especially talented but at the same time, I have this energy that motivates me to create something from what I observe. Here is what I decided to do...

I find Facebook and Instagram as two of the most convenient social media outlets. I have others I use
such as this personal blog, Flickr, and Twitter but they are extensions of the first two.

One day, while browsing on Facebook I spotted an ad for a free Intramuros tour in two weeks. I've done the kalesa tour, the Luneta-Fort Santiago tour, Museum tours, and more but I still asked myself if I have really walked the streets of historical Intramuros? There's one way to find out so I booked for myself and my nuclear family.

We met on a cloudy Saturday. The tour invitation came from Don't Skip Manila and organized by #Tralulu. Our assigned guide for the day is Ms. Claudia "Chit" Mendoza.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsor/event organizer/guide for our Intramuros tour last January 28, 2018 namely, Don't Skip Manila, Tralulu and Ms. Chit for a very informative and relaxing tour of the city within the city.

We learned so much about Manila which, personally, helps me appreciate my culture as a Filipino. How many unsung heroes there are working relentlessly for me to enjoy the pleasures of my country. I will strive to become a better citizen of this country by protecting this land's democracy.
