by Jazel Kristin Take a break from the bleak and dreary landscape that is Manila and take in the mix of colorful history, gastronomic delights and rich cultural heritage of Bulacan.

Looking through an artist’s lens, I see things in sepia in Malolos, Bulacan – the ash tones of concrete relics and the brown hues of wooden structures stands out in this desaturated Malolos image – with matching film scratches just like in old movies.
