"Kandiwata Rock Formation"                  A loud noise from our roaster, the sound that wakes me up in nice weather. In good weather on September 8, 2020, 4 am, we travel to a unique rock formation in our province, the Candiwata rock formation. After taking a bath a get may things and pack it with my black traveling bag and take a short ride in our car to sea port. We rented a boat that cost 500 pesos per person. After we took a boat ride, along the way to Candiwata we witnessed the beautiful sea of Maquida Bay, the blue of its sea, the cleanliness of the water and the fresh air from the sea.

While the sauce is getting cooked, the pork is boiled on the side for about an hour or until the meat (especially the fat) becomes tender. To ensure quality taste, it should be cooked under firewood instead of gasoline.  Once everything is ready, a homemade lumpia wrapper is set out, a gen
