Place: Basilica Minore de Nuestra Senora de Piat (Piat, Cagayan)
Date: 25 May 2008

The country celebrated its 110th Independence Day last June 12th, but I wasn’t able to post a flag picture in any of my blogs, so let me post one today instead. This picture was taken last month - 26 May 2008 - in my dad’s hometown, by the plaza. I know I have a picture […]
