ALIENTO

15 minutes away from Tagaytay City, the municipality of Silang, Cavite enjoys the same temperate climate and lush greenery

its well-known neighbor is famous for. Where the much-loved weekend escape distinctly flourishes is where Silang thrives

within an understated charm, from a number of resorts that make the most of the region's natural attractions, as well as quaint towns

that seem to reel one in much simpler times. Unlike other parts of Cavite, Silang is yet to have its brush with industrialization, its sprawling

rice paddies and coffee and pineapple plantations were broken by exotic flower fields and seasonal produce offerings. The clean air still brings

the tang of the past-- on cuisine and traditions handed over, soothing the senses and bringing tranquility into one’s fold.
