Ibajay, Aklan

Before this month end I am delightful to share to you how I was overwhelmed by the beauty of this town - Ibajay, Aklan. According to Wikipedia this place, "is a municipality in the province of Aklan, Philippines. According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 45,279 people. Ibajay is the birthplace of Col. Alejandro S. Melchor, whose design of the pontoon bridge helped the Allied Forces win World War II." In addition to this, the Site of this town has more fascinating things to tell you about their history. Please visit: http://www.ibajay.gov.ph/brief_history.htm. And for you to know and appreciate more of their barangays please visit this link: http://www.ibajay.gov.ph/index.htm.

During my trips to the well-known white sand beach Boracay, Island in Aklan I usually open the window curtain when the bus conductor shouts "Ibajay" to take a glance of a wide river before entering the town proper. After that scenic view, the bus would stop at their market where almost all vehicle stops because of their clean rest room. You would also notice that they are the only town that has a "bus stop" and a passenger lounge area all the way from the International airport in Kalibo. But now that I know somebody closest to my heart who stays there, I have this opportunity to explore more of the place. And these are the photos that will tell you beyond words how lovely is this town.
