Lantangan Elementary School
These 'I Love' signs have become part of the landscape all around the Philippines nowadays. I noticed numerous during this trip, including Masbate City and the beautiful Hondagua in Quezon Province.

Has taken me two decades of collecting to finally find 'Tanduay 65'. Thankfully my wife was paying more attention while we were in Gaisano Mall in Masbate City.
After searching for so long, a talk with the Tanduay company revealed that it is only made for the Cebu market.
With this in mind, I had resigned myself to either putting up without it in the collection, or going to Cebu. I really wasn't expecting to find it in Masbate City.
However, those older Gaisano Malls never disappoint.

The entrance into the seaside part of Lantangan is absolutely beautiful. Would be paradise to set up shop here and see out your final years.

Last Night Party
Alas, with all trips, our time in Lantangan soon ran out.
I wanted to stay longer, but I had a few appointments in Naga City that I had to get to.
I am hoping to return to photograph the barangay fiesta, but that sadly will rely on permission being granted from the 'Minister of War and Finance' and those she travels with.
I really only know who a fraction of these people are. The Asawa was able to identify some, so am sorry if your name is spelt wrong, is completely incorrect, I totally left out due to not being recognised (possibly due to being lasing on the night).
People at the farewell party.

Even more people at the farewell party.
Ones Asawa is standing closest to the camera, while my nephew Jonarie is in the yellow, sitting behind the local cutie :-) Eduardo behind him, and apparently Peter in blue.

Even more unknown people at the farewell party.
Yellow: Danny, who I believe is a former barangay captain.
