Nuvali Philippines Koi Carp Fish Feeding Frenzy


Nuvali is a real estate project in Laguna by Ayala Land and the Yulo family. It's an eco-community where residents live close to and are aware of nature around them. This is why there are lots of planned greenery in Nuvali and there's also the waterway that water taxis ply to take people from one place to another in the complex and the manmade lake. Thriving in the fresh water are ornamental koi fish (a kind of carp) which can be fed by tourists.Packets of fish food pellets can be bought at the stall near the feeding area.


The number of koi fish in the water of Nuvali is enough to turn the water into gold as people throw fish food towards them. The fish, hungry as they are, jostle to get to the nourishing tidbits first. They clump together to the extent that some of them are actually pushed above the water moments at a time! It's amazing to see how the fish react to the food thrown at them. It's like they function as one big organism.

Nuvali can be reached from the Luzon South Expressway exiting at Sta. Rosa, the road the leads to Tagaytay City. The recreational village lies within Sta. Rosa and Calamba in Laguna. It's now turned into a popular stopover for tourists and commuters going to and coming from Tagaytay.

Noah's Ark Attracts Tourists in Lucban Quezon


There's a concrete replica of Noah's Ark in Lucban, Quezon, in The Philippines. It's part of the Kamay ni Hesus Healing Center of Father Joey Faller, a Catholic healing priest who found his true calling in life as a servant of God after he discovered that he can heal people of many illnesses. After an accident which caused the last finger of one of his hands to curl permanently, he set out to fulfill his destiny to heal people, and eventually established the Center with a church and Bible-themed park for those in search of healing through God.

The Ark of Noah is just one of the many attractions of the Kamay ni Hesus Healing Center, with the main one being the Grotto with the 50-foot monument of Jesus Christ at the top of a hill. Noah's Ark is really a building with an exterior made to resemble the ancient boat where Noah's family took refuge from the Great Flood along with pairs of animals. At the time these photos were taken, it was still under construction.

The Kamay ni Hesus Healing Center is found in Lucban, Quezon. Those interested can read more about it in this article:
