17/2/2012 1 Comment Pulilan Butterfly HavenMy Pulilan Butterfly Haven trip was really unplanned one. Though I really want to see this tourist attraction since 2007, I wasn't given enough time. So, when my feet became so "itchy", I had no resort but to adhere where it would lead me. :) . I was supposed to go home in Laguna and visit my family then, but I didn't know what the heck led me why I rode the bus going to Trinoma and decided to take another bus going to Bulacan. As I said, no plans. Wherever my feet would lead me! haha. At last, I remember surfing this Butterfly Haven Farm when I was still in ETelecare and from there I started asking the bus driver and the conductor to drop me off in Pulilan. Well, fortunate enough for me that I rode the right bus route. So from Trinoma, it took me roughly an hour and there I was, set to go in the Butterfly Farm. If i will rate the said attraction, I must say this is only 5 out of 10 personally. There are some points that I need to reiterate which was the main reason why I only scored it 5. First, is the management. I don't know what went wrong with the care taker why she had a separate fee for the museum and the butterfly farm itself. To think, the entrance fee that is posted online was only Php100 for the entire visit including taking in pictures inside the farm.But since I was already there, I had no resort but to pay SEPERATELY so it cost me Php200. Anyways, the butterfly farm that you will see online is not as attractive as the one that you will see in person. Most likely, it wasn't manage well - I don't know and who knows - we can really never tell. What only saved my frustration was the family museum that is very well preserved. As per the information given by the caretaker (i forgot her name or it was intentional for me to do that so), the museum was funded by the Cruz-Andal Family. And in case you want to see the place (and you will take public ride which I did on this trip), it is very accessible and the tricycle drivers from the drop off point will lead you just tell them you wants to see the Pulilan Butterfly Haven Farm . Before you go home, I also recommend to drop by in Casa Narvasa which is along National Road and try their very sumptuous yet affordable Sotanghon. It only costs Php120 and it is good for 3 - 4 persons. How to get there?
