Our elders always said that when you look at this old mirror, you see what is the best reflection of yourself or what you really look like since it's so flat, there are no nuances. The Goco Ancestral House is the same. What you see is what you get. 152 years old and not much has changed and this is why people old and young are amazed at how good the house looks especially inside. It really makes one feel nostalgic to say the least. Come visit and you'll see the house, this mirror and much more.

Rotarians have always been close to our hearts. My father was a Rotarian, as is my bro, Chef Robby (both members of The Rotary Club of Manila) I myself was a Rotary exchange student way back. Growing up, I would always see the 4 Way Test hanging in my Dad's office. Suffice to say, he is the embodiment of what a true Rotarian is.

Last Sunday, we hosted the Rotary Club of Makati, Dasmariñas headed by Trajan Alteza and renowned Neurosurgeon Dr. Perry Noble who happens to be a Taaleño himself. In a rare twist, I was able to get Tamales, Tawilis, and Maliputo for their group and they all loved it. They also loved the tour and even had their pics taken wearing period clothing in Casa Recuerdos.

Thank You, Trajan for bringing your fellow Rotarians over. We appreciate it. Come back again soon!
