At the Top of Ermita Hill

at the very top.

Introduction:

Ermita Hill is located at Brgy. Zabali,more or less than 10 mins away from the town center. It offers a magnificent view of the Pacific ocean and the surrounding areas.


Before Going up:

Tromba Marina
According to the locals, it was December 1735. A Tsunami (Tidal Wave) brought havoc to the entire town of Baler except for the several family members who climbed to the Hilltop. It now served as a reminder of that tragic incident.

I tried researching about the Earthquake that cause the Tsunami of 1735 that hit Baler but there's no information regarding about it. The nearest one that I found is the 1703 Genroku Earthquake.

On our way up and the view of the Pacific Ocean:



Like I said before its offers a magnificent view of the ocean, each waves can be seen clearly. You could also see the entire stretch of Sabang Beach and Cemento Beach..

Wait theres more:


Seeing the view of the Pacific Ocean is not the end, there is another set of stairs which leads you to the Cross at the very top.

Additional Information:

* On your way up you'll see a big cage which looks like an aviary but its empty if you don't count the monkey right beside it.

Thanks for viewing.

June.
