Bicol artifacts in National Museum
Almost 20 years since I pay my last visit at the prestigious national museum of the Philippines, many changes and rearrangement has been done but still the presentation will leave you with awe and curious. The artifacts I stumbled upon came from the places I have been to, my favorite are those discovered by Robert Fox and Alfredo Evangelista in 1957, piece of Albay history, the shell scallop and shaped stone in Bacacay. Another big find is a stone tablet with Baybayin (ancient native writings) found in Masbate. The bikol writing dubbed as "basahan" is where my new watermark is written.
The museum can be found northern part of Rizal park just across Manila city hall.
