The name “Batulao” has three possible derivations. First, it could mean “stone in the light” in English, which is the translation of the Tagalog phrase “bato sa ilaw.”

Another source could be a combination of the Tagalog words “bato” (rock) and “dilaw” (yellow). The latter refers to the mountain’s color during sunrise.

Among the three origins of the word, I prefer “light on two stones,” a result of the shortening of the Tagalog phrase “ilaw sa dalawang bato.” This third version of the name calls my attention to an interesting story. The “two stones” refer to “illuminated rocks” in relation to the wonder of nature that takes place at the mountain in the month of December. During this period, the rays of the sun arise out of the valley between the mountain’s two prominent peaks and light them up.

I went there last 25th March of this year. Together with the youth of our church, we climbed the mountain. The trail is very narrow and rough. Due to the slippery and dangerous character of the mountain, climbing it was not easy.

Finally, we arrived at the peak. The temperature was cool and the weather was windy. It took us two hours to reach the summit. Before sunrise, we already reached the peak. We were so glad and satisfied we are glad because we can watch the sunrise.

Unfortunately, because of the clouds from the sea, the sun started to hide. The sunrise has passed, and the sun is just glancing at us from time to time. Though we felt a little dissatisfied, still we are happy and grateful for witnessing the beauty of nature that has been displayed before our sight.

This is one of our port of call "JUNEAU" upon our arrival here in Juneau at 1pm.


dockside at the gangway*

we arrive here late compare to other ports this port is one of the busiest place due to other cruise ships docked and anchored with us here, there are 4 cruise ships and one was anchored and cannot manage to dock alongside.


After my duty in the morning I had a quick break again for a about 2 hours only I rushed going out with my co workers, along the way to our destination I saw the place where most of the crew are staying this is an Asian street food where Filipinos are who prepare / cook and sell food for all the crew onboard to different ships docked. They became so famous to all the seafarers.


*known as "Bernadette"
This street food serving rice meals or "lutong bahay" what we call in Tagalog a local language of Philippine people means home made dishes.


as you can see this how close their place to our ship, it is a matter of a 3 minutes only. so for those crew have a contact number to this street food seller they can order and deliver the food only in front of the gangway.

So after we check this area we went to a grocery store where we will buy our necessities onboard, and I saw thing catch my attention and bought it, a Yamaha cap MOnster edition.

so we are almost going back to the ship for work we need to maximize our time and we cannot waste time. So I purchase something from the Ace Hardware I bought some office supplies and etc.


When we have our lunch here after that we rushed going back to the ship, the time though not enough but there is still a next time. because we will keep doing this itinerary of Alaska for two months.

When Jeska sends a video of her trying to sing a #tagalog #LoveSong. A+ for effort #mylove!
I feel blessed to have you in my life ♥️
Missing you too.

Here is the English Translation of the Song Jeska was singing
Title: "Malayo Ka Man" (Even Though Your Far Away)

Even though you're far away, love, always remember
My love for you will never change, it's always for you
Just trust, even if crossing oceans is the distance between us
That's not going to be a barrier even if you're far away

#PhilippineTradition- #Pagmamano

Every culture has its way of showing respect to elders. In the Philippines, the traditional gesture is called “Pagmamano.” #Pagmamano is similar to hand kissing. The younger person asks for the elder’s right hand and presses it on their forehead; this means that they’re asking for the elder’s #blessing and acknowledging their #wisdom. It’s typically done before entering an elder’s home or as a greeting when you meet them.

“Mano po” is the phrase used to initiate the greeting. “Mano” derived from the Spanish word “hand” and “po” a Tagalog word added to sentences as a sign of respect. “Mano po” can be translated as “your hand please” and “may I have your blessing? Once the elder gives you their hand, it means that they have given you their blessing and oftentimes they will respond to you by saying “Kaawaan ka ng Diyos.” which means “God bless you or May the Lord have mercy on you.”

There’s no age limit when using pagmamano but it’s best to teach the #youngergeneration as early as we can so they get to remember and apply it. So the next time you visit the Philippines and see someone older, greet them by saying “Mano po”.
