6 Things To Do in Magdalena, Laguna, Philippines

       On our visit to Magdalena, we feel blessed to see a rainbow (refer to feature photo).  So somewhere, over the rainbow,  we suggest you consider the beauty of this peaceful town, Magdalena.

      My mom has been a school principal in the town’s central school for almost 5 years now. And this is the only time that we could check her second home. (Just a trivia: Like my hero mom, one of the famous hero in Magdalena was Emilio Jacinto. Emilio Jacinto led the liberation fight in Maimpis, Magdelana during the Spanish-Filipino war.)

        Here are our 5 Things To Do in Magdalena, Laguna, Philippines!
