Well, my trip to Guinobatan was just a side
trip. This was actually not part of my travel itinerary because the main
destination for the long weekend trip was Jovellar town in Albay. However, since going to Jovellar, one
needs to travel to Guinobatan and from there you ride a jeepney to Jovellar,
nagsidetrip na din ako sa Guinobatan. Actually, noong nakaraang long weekend,
ang plano namin ng mga kaibigan ko is to go to Jovellar, and then Castilla and
then Sorsogon City. Pero nagchange of plan kami when I learned that the last
trip of the jeepney from Jovellar to Guinobatan is at 3pm. At dahil 10am na
and I’m still waiting for my friend to arrive in Guinobatan from Manila, I just
then told her na sa Sorsogon na lang muna kami mauunang pupunta but we’ll just
meet first in Guinobatan town.

So while waiting for her to arrive in
Guinobatan, nagikot ikot muna ako sa downtown. I took some pictures of
their town plaza, church, town hall and monuments. Nakakaboring din kasi kung
wala akong gagawin habang nagaantay. Guinonabatan is actually a simple town.
There are no big business establishments there. Pwede mo nga din maikot ang
buong downtown in just an hour. By the
way, a famous delicacy in Guinobatan is the rice puto or rice cake. Madami din
rice puto or putong bigas sa ibang lugar but in Guinobatan, their putong bigas
has a sweet macapuno filling. Marami ang nagtitinda ng delicacy na ito sa may
Maharlika Highway malapit sa welcome arch ng Guinobatan. Anyway, that’s my
story about Guinobatan. Side trip lang talaga ang town na to kaya wala naman
ako masyadong maikwento.hehehe!
