Paete : Home of Best Wood Carvings and Papier Mache

paete laguna churchIt was not a busy weekend so i decided to go to Baclaran to visit the church and to take some photos of this busy “baratillo district” but when i passed by Buendia, I suddenly changed my mind and decided to go to the bus terminal. I found myself sitting inside an airconditioned bus bound to Sta. Cruz, Laguna without any clear directions where to go and what to do. Dont ask me why, I just feel to have an adventure journey; a la Amazing Race. After almost two and a half bus ride to Sta. Cruz, I decided to visit Paete, a small town which is well known for its artistic wood crafts and paper maches products.

Upon arrival in Paete, I was impressed with the cleanliness of this town. The poblacion has narrow streets and you can walk around the town to check for pasalubong, wood carvings and papier mache shops. Aside for wood carvings, you can also find a complete range of business establishments from hardware, food shops and of course famous Pinoy Sari-sari stores. (more…)
