Bloom where you are planted! ~ Anonymous
It has been a while since the infamous Sirao Flower Farm made a fuss all over the web. Curious visitors flocked the place but sadly, due to some people’s negligence, the farm suffered an unfortunate fate. Some were lucky to have witnessed the beauty of the place yet, I wasn’t one of them. When I visited Sirao Flower Farm last January, I did not see any of those that I saw in the internet. All I found were newly sprouting plants finger-span length. The local farmers were trying so hard, pouring their sweats to cultivate those plants, I just hope people know that and we should be responsible enough to take care of the vegetations, too. Let us not be selfish and say “I paid for this. I paid an entrance fee.” Paying the entrance fee does not give us the right to step and kill those flowers. Our money can’t afford the hardwork of the farmers who are working so hard to give us this wonderful view.
(I’m not here to scold or act like ‘I-know-everything-right’. I’m just saying. LET US DO OUR PART!!!)
Anyway, here’s another fruit of our local farmers’ labor. The former Philippine Tourism Authority which is now called TIEZA (Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority) is developing the formerly Kan-Irag golf-course located in Barangay Malubog, Busay into a botanical garden by the lake.
According to the farmers whom we talked to, this lake was once a small hollow filled with rainwater then it resembled a lake. There were wild floras growing around the area and it showed a great potential to become a scenic garden by the lake, hence this project.
Despite not being able to see the wonderful beauty of Sirao Flower Farm, I am beyond lucky to have seen this enticing beauty of this new attraction. My hopes for this place not to experience downfall because of people’s lack of discipline. Let’s give others the chance to see this beauty.
Leave nothing but footprints. Take nothing but pictures. Kill nothing but time.
You might want to visit the place. You can contact our kind driver to take you there just in case you are commuting. Here’s Kuya Roel’s number: 0919-954-4254. If you have your private transport, the place can be accessed through the transcentral highway via JY Lahug and take turn towards the corner of Busay Holiday Pool. You can also ask the locals for directions.

Very colorful! It’s good that they finally made good use of it. That pond was supposed to a water obstacle for an Ayala-owned golf course. For some reason, the golf course didn’t materialize. The cemented trails in that area are supposedly walkways.

Right! As of writing, this place is temporarily closed until major developments are done. That should cause more hype, by then.

We were unfortunate when we had the chance to visit the place. We were so excited only to find out that the place is closed just a day before we visited. Have to wait then.

I’m sorry to hear that. 🙂 Well, I’m pretty sure, it would be worth the wait. They’re making major developments and hopefully it’d be done sooner. 😀
Thanks for dropping by! Best regards.
