Somewhere in the province of Rizal, Philippines there is a hidden paradise. Do you want to know a little history about it? If yes, then read my short blog about it. Angono Petroglyphs is also known as mga "Petroglipo ng Angono". It is the oldest known work of art in the Philippines. The site is located in the province of Angono, Rizal. And in fact it is only walking distance from my home that's why I can go there any day I want.

There are 127 human and animal figures engraved on the rockwall probably carved before 2000 BC. The inscriptions show animals, human figures along with other designs that depicted other interesting figures but erosion have caused it to become indistinguishable.

These are some of the photos I took when me and my wife went there.
