The random photo series now moves into my 2010 visit to the Philippines.
As with 2009, I took a monumental amount of photos during my travels, but many of them just don't fit an extended theme.
So, I thusly have put them together in a multi-part look at the Philippines nearly a decade and a half ago. Nothing special, but a look back at times past and captured moments.
The abandoned Camalig railway station on the diverted section of line north of Legaspi (Bicol Region).

Cagsawa Ruins north of Legaspi (Bicol Region).
Originally built in 1587, and destroyed by Dutch pirates in 1636.
It would go on to be rebuilt in 1724, only to be destroyed again in 1841 due to an eruption of the famous Mayon Volcano.

This was located a bit north of Sipocot, the exact location unknown. It was a quick stop and shoot, as the building took my eye and the driver in a hurry.

One of those provincial photos I am always eager to get. This was near the structure above.

Because a trip to Bicol makes you very hungry.
I think Red Platter is still a thing in 2024.

The Bongo van broke down at Tagkawayan, giving us a lot of time for photos.

Passengers have just alighted buses on EDSA.
Since this time, all the bus services have moved to the centre lanes and become what is now the EDSA Carousel service.
