Must-know facts about Lemery:
- Lemery used to be known as "Punta," which means "direction," because people flocked to the area around Balayan Bay for its rich marine resources. Travelers were especially interested in salted and dried fish. Later in its history, its name was changed to honor Captain Roberto Lemery, a commanding officer who lived there and treated the locals kindly.
- Every Easter Sunday since 2007, residents of Lemery have enjoyed the Sigpawan Festival to thank the municipality's patron saint, San Roque, for abundant resources. The celebration involves live music, a colorful parade, and competitions that showcase the area's culture.
- This municipality is also the site of Fantasy World, an abandoned amusement park converted into a photo park. Although its rides are not functional, you can still take photos outside the establishment, which was supposed to be the country's version of "Disneyland" before construction stopped because of finance issues. I think the colorful castles and unique architecture here are Instagram-worthy, so I would definitely want to see it for myself and photograph it for my blog.
