Fontana March 2009

I think this was the very first time me and my block mates and other school mates went out to do something altogether. We went to Fontana which is in Clark, Pampangga. About 2-3 hours away from Manila. I love going there having the smooth, non-traffic road.

Pampangga is a nice, clean city. There's bunch of foreigners there though because they have an american camp out there, so the city is pretty established. It's popular for the Mt Pinatubo eruption and lahar tragedies that displaced the town, it's also popular for the church that was buried during the eruption, it has become a tourist spot.

San Guillermo Church lost 6 meters of its bottom.


Anyway,  so me and my friends drove down there to go to Fontana. Fontana is a member's only kind of resort, i mean you can go in but you can only rent a house if you're member. There's also a newly built casino there (during that time). Fontana was one of the first resort that had a wave-pool LOL I used to go there a lot with my relatives when my Uncle was still working there.

Of course you can bring food. I forget how much the room was but I think it was just less than 15k and we all have split. The house rental doesn't cover the entrance fee at the pool or resort. I think it was around P200 that time, but to make sure you can check their website.

The is the pool where there's waves. I think it comes every 15mins

Such a fun pool!


Man-made sand

Over all, it was fun. I had a great time bonding with my classmates. The place is mostly for family gatherings/trips. I think I was THE ONLY ONE wearing bikini and i felt kinda bad. Well, I really didn't care that much, I do what i gotta do :D

I suppose Fontana is more established now. Families go there because kids have fun while parents have fun at the casino. LOL
