..and the house with the red roof belongs to....( drum roll! )

Manong, According to my cousin, this house  belongs to  former President Fidel V. Ramos.  When he was still the President he came often with the helicopter,  landing at the rice field close to it.  We can view Manang Polly's Resort as well but more to the right side. 

Taga taltalon kami, we can view most of the houses from the back of FVR's  house, from the town all the way to Carosucan.

Thanks, Marcie. I have entered that house just once during one of my Balikbayan trips. It has a wide living room and two bedrooms ( FVR's and her sister's ) and a wide patio in front where meetings with barangay captains and others took place. The area I guess is called CABINCOLAN. According to Archie, it was named such because there were lots of Bincol ( dried earthworm shit <?> ) all over the area.

My childhood buddy Francisco Malala also lives in this area ( a stone's throw away from FVR's ) and during those days, nights are quite lively in those places..

Like also in our block. In our neighbor's house, there were lots of "parlor games" going on til the wee hours of the morning. I forgot the name of the game but they used two ping pong balls instead of two centavo coins..During daytime, they also used the same place to pick up the winning Jueteng numbers.
