Interesting Place : Angono Petroglyphs, Angono

There's  a very interesting place in Angono, Rizal where you can find the Angono Petroglyphs. This is some kind of graphic carvings or writings similar to the Egyptian Hieroglyphs. The Angono Petroglyphs can be found on a rock wall or cave near  the  Eastridge Golf Club - Angono. In front of the cave is a small museum where you can read the history of the place. 
It is one of  the only two places where this kind of  filipino ancient writings ( or art ) are found.(I think there is another one in Palawan ). I had been to this place when I used to go to Angono to see a realty project . The place is now inside the property of Eastridge Golf Club, beside the golf course. The place is open to the public and I think under the supervision of the government. The developer of the club made a special  tunnel ( from the main road)  to go to the cave for the public and tourist   to use. The only other way to access the cave is thru the golf course  but its quite dangerous because  the flying golf balls might hit you. Non-members are also not allowed to go to the golf course proper.  It's  a "must see" place here in Angono , Rizal.  See it before the vandals totally deface it.  A  portion of the cave or rock wall  has been carved out and defaced the last time I went there. Angono is only about 30 minutes from Pasig City via the Manggahan Diversion Road.


I found this article on Wikipedia about The Angono Petroglyphs :

The Angono Petroglyphs is the oldest known work of art in the Philippines. There are 127 human and animal figures engraved on the rockwall dating back to 3000 BC. These inscriptions clearly show stylized human figuresfrogs and lizards along with other designs that may have depicted other interesting figures but erosion may have caused it to become indistinguishable.

Project Review : Eastridge Golf Villas in Binangonan

If you are planning of buying a house in the suburbs  of Metro Manila but not  too far  from the city to sacrifice your malling activity  try considering this new project : Eastridge Golf Villas. Located  inside the Eastridge Golf and Country Club in the hills of Angono-Binangonan Rizal. The place is panoramic and overlooking the Laguna de Bay and Makati and Ortigas skyline.This village is just beside the golf course and is intended as a second  home for golfers after playing a round of golf at Eastridge. But the place is also open to non-golfers and who wants a home in a quiet natural setting. Price of a 2 bedroom  house with a lot area of 120 sqm and floor area of 60sqm. is P1,850,000. Yes, that's  the price. Reasonable. Advantages of living at EGV :  since your house is located in the hills of Binangonan there is nature all around you, you can sit bird-watching just at your porch ( you can see different bird species flying around ) or just watch the golfers hitting their tees in the fairway; learn golf if you are interested , there's a driving range walking distance to your house; or just go  swimming at the clubhouse; or just trek the hills around your house; or go to the Angono Petroglyphs Cave and Museum near the golf course; or have a fine dining lunch or dinner at the Eastridge Golf and Country Club( but I think you need a member to accompany you here ) By the way, about a hundred meters from your house is the Thunderbird Resort / Casino / Convention Center which is also located at Eastridge. They offer first class  daily entertainment at the Resort Casino, the entrance is free. You can also play some slots at the casino or eat at the restaurants in the resort. Eastridge Golf Villas is about  25 minutes to Antipolo City  and about  45 minutes to Ortigas, Pasig City. You can go to EGV via Quezon Ave. in Antipolo, or Manila East Road In Taytay or Mangahan Diversion Road in Pasig.
