Mayad nga aga sa inyo nga tanan! to translate that, good morning to all of you.
Welcome to the Marble central Panay, Antique! My name____________, you can call

So Antique is Antique (Pronunciation: /ntik/) or (/ntik/) is a province of
the Philippines located in the region of Western Visayas. With its capital, San Jose.
Antique was one of the three sakup (districts) of Panay before Spanish
colonizers arrived on the islands. The province was known at that time as Hantk, the
local name for the large black ants found on the island The Spanish chroniclers,
influenced by the French, recorded the region's name as Hantique, which was then
read as 'antique (silent 'h'). The locals then pronounced the name into its present
name "Antique" (n-ti-k)

to the airport.
1. And were now here in Malumpati Cold Spring, as you can see, it has blue green
crystal clear water and the temperature is normally cool and cold enough to chill
our drinks. So from here, the water is flowing all the way to the Bugang River
which is known to be the Cleanest river in the Philippines. So this is 20 mtrs
deep, you can swim, jump off the diving platforms or like what the locals do,
from the trees and if you dont feel like it , you can just hop on the bamboo raft
and cruise away.
So Ill be leaving you an hour and a half to take pictures and enjoy the cold
spring, so howyoure your malumpati cold spring experience?
2. And were now here in Culasi, Antique & were on our way to the Malalison
Island and right now before going there, were falling in line because were
gonna experience the Pangluy-a , a traditional blessing given upon arrival of the
tourists, so this serves as a protection from unpleasant spirits and for us to have
a good stay in the island.
So as were trekking, a brief trivia, Malalison has been popularly called the
Batanes of Antique.
one version of the local legend has it that the islands of Culasi were the three
children of Madja-as and Kanlaon, namely Batbatan, Maningning, and Mararison.

Maningning was the lazy beautiful sister, Batbatan the disrespectful one, and
Mararison the disobedient one. They were punished and kept away from their
mother, Madja-as.Youll see these three islands when you climb the summit of
Mount Madja-as, the highest peak in Panay Island.*
So are we tired yet? Dont worry because theres a delicious feast waiting for us.
