City of Santa Rosa, Laguna is my home town. When I was a little, I remembered me and my brother playing in Santa Rosa Plaza. So way back then, I remember that there was like a pond on the center of the Plaza where there were fishes and also a fake tree where you can hide inside.

When I was in grade school, I always put my finger into the mouth of the two lions at the Santa Rosa Arch, I don’t know why I'm doing that but yeah kinda weird. And there was like a moment that we can go up there as the gate were unlocked.

The City market back then was amazing, I forgot the name of the store where all students stuff were available so it was like a one stop shop.  There was also a famous “palamig stand” near on the main entrance of the market. Gulaman (gelatin) and Sago (tapioca) were the best sellers.

My childhood was really amazing as I spent my days in the town proper, I live in Dita, the last Brgy. of the City before Cabuyao Laguna so I’m a daily commuter back then. I traveled thru jeepney, most of the time small capacity of jeepneys were available for transportation unlike now that Sarao and stainless steel jeepneys are everywhere.

When I think of the old Santa Rosa, I always misses the old days though in this generation I would say it’s more adventure, much fun however the simplicity, the life style etc. those are memories that I hope the new kids could have experienced.

So one day, I searched in Google what are the best places or things to do in Santa Rosa and surprisingly most of the links appeared was to eat inside a shopping mall. OKAY. These are the things that we can actually do in every places in the country. 

Yes, we got the huge theme park in town, we have shopping malls everywhere, fun activity in Nuvali. But I want to see the locale of my home town. So I decided to make a list of some of the places that you may try to visit here in SANTA ROSA.
