BATANGAS

My father was Ilonggo from a town called Tigbauan; and my mother was Batangueña from the coastal municipality of Nasugbu. Because my father was in the Air Force, I was born, grew up and continue to live in my beloved city of Lipa. I am proud of my Ilonggo roots but I guess I will never really think of myself as anything but Batangueño. This section contains articles about living in the city and province that I call home.
