Papa bought a lot for Lolo Simon and Uncle Arthur's final resting place in Bislig. The original site (from what I heard) was in Piapi (sorry di ko alam kung saan yun). The intent was to reunite Lola Maxima and Lolo together.
From what I was told he loved the place. It had a view of the Bislig Bay and river and of Mangagoy. Just a scene from Out of Africa. On a clear day you can see the steeple of the Mangagoy church and on a misty day, the mountains gets covered with fog and oh so picturesque.
Sorry my camera could not justify the beauty of the place.
Moving on, when Papa passed on he wanted to be buried in the same place. We bought the ajoining lot so we can have unobstructed view. Running joke is to build a beer garden.
