 At Baybay beach across @altacosta_bh we saw fishermen with nets. In around 30 mins they had buckets and buckets of dilis???? Wow???? Pia said that this happens every evening and this is the livelihood of these families.  We saw some wives and children watching their husband/father catching fish near the shore #h2hcapiz
 Once in a while they find a squid or a big fish  Cabe bought some dills and he had them cook it with vinegar and ginger.  We tried it and it was good 🙂

Cabe and Pia Morente of Alta Costa Beach Hotel @altacosta_bh in BayBay beach. Another cousin of Quentin @docqviterbo and a cousin of Marga @margakwok 🙂 They have a beautiful 7 room resort facing Mantalinga island or Good luck island  Pia told me that fishermen go to Good luck island to bless their boats. Alta Costa resort was owned by their parents but when Yolanda hit, the place was affected and so they just gave the place to them. Cabe and Pia rebuilt it and opened one year ago. It’s the only resort in Baybay beach and its beautiful  #altacosta #h2hcapiz #h2hpeople
 How special what Cabe and Pia prepared for dinner at @altacosta_bh ? Bangkaya – the original chicken inasal.  The father of all the manukans.  One of the cooks in the compound learned the recipe and you can only get it in their house and nowhere else anymore#h2hcapiz #h2hchicken  I do not know if this is a Capiz thing, but I love their version of fresh fruit salad.  Hya served something like this for us as a drink and it was so good.  

 Love this super duper pinot style thin crust pizza !  Only available in Capiz

 One of my most memorable moments in Capiz is meeting this wonderful lady- Hya ( Hyacinth) Ong Viterbo. She is the cousin in law of Quentin @docqviterbo Aside from handling the Finances of the family business that owns a lot of land in Capiz, she runs restaurants and their hotel, she has 7 kids and the most amazing of all she has a Healing Ministry. When she was 17 she had kidney disease that could not be cured here so the family resorted to prayers and she was healed. For 6 months they prayed over her and til this day they continue to pray everyday as a family. She told me that prayers should not stop after you are healed. She also revealed to me that there are 5 reminders for healing. Praying is not as easy as just praying   Hya also built a gigantic Miraculous Medal and recently a Sacred Heart of Jesus where people go to pray and go for healing. She is so entrepreneurial, so hardworking, a good mother and mostly a good disciple of God. Definitely a role model for Heart2Heart If you are in Capiz make sure to visit her shrines. #h2hpeople #h2hcapiz #h2hreligious

We went up 63 steps to see the biggest Catholic church bell in Asia. It is presently being restored but good thing the construction workers are on vacation we were able to sneak up. It was built in Dec 21,1878 with 70 sacks of silver and bronze coins contributed by the people of Panay. It is 10.4 tons.
It is found in Sta. Monica Parish Church in Panay built in 1774. Make sure you get a tour by Randy who is the singer, tourguide and photographer haha!! He is the best  #h2hcapiz
Right across the church is a coffee shop with a cute name 🙂 

 I can start a new instagram account on just the family of Quentin @docqviterbo  They are a big family!! All of them so close to each other !   So lucky that we are in Capiz at the same time as his eldest sibling Cara. They are 11 years apart.

Cara Viterbo Cosalan who is now married to the Congressman of Benguet Province so she is busy being first lady

and mother to 2 daughters both successful in their fields. Samantha who is an Emergency Room doctor in Makati Medical Center and Katarina a lawyer both in Manila.
