From historical landmarks to masterful handicrafts, here are the reasons this cultural gem is worth seeking out

- POCH EULALIA

Initially, our visit to Antique was meant to be brief. We had flown over to witness a performance by the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, organized by the Cultural Center of the Philippines and the Office of Senator Loren Legarda. Though seeing as it was the weekend, we found it fit to tag along another day to see what sights Antique had to offer. It was a decision we did not come to regret, as the sights and stops we made were well worth our time. Here are some highlights from our visit that breathe life into the province.
