After returning to Kalibo from New Washington, I saw a signage of a jeepney trip to Balete, Aklan. I always travel by jeep as much as possible because it’s more economical. So I rode a jeep and dropped off at the municipal hall compound.
The Town Hall of Balete, Aklan
They have a Quick Response Center, which serves also a waiting shed because it’s along the main highway. There’s a nice church dedicated to St Raphael the Archangel near the Balete Town Hall. There’s also a monument dedicated to Jose Rizal.
Balete is a nice small town. There isn’t much business establishments nearby and the market is nowhere to be found. This is a new town. I investigated Google Maps and found a museum nearby called Basura Garden. It’s a museum for works of arts made from recycle materials. I’ll made a separate blog post about it.
Here’s more information about it from PhilAtlas:
Balete is a landlocked municipality in the coastal province of Aklan.
The municipality has a land area of 118.93 square kilometers or 45.92 square miles which constitutes 6.53% of Aklan's total area. Its population as determined by the 2015 Census was 28,920. This represented 5.03% of the total population of Aklan province, or 0.38% of the overall population of the Western Visayas region. Based on these figures, the population density is computed at 243 inhabitants per square kilometer or 630 inhabitants per square mile.
That concludes my 3 Days Trip to Mindor0 and Aklan. After visiting Balete, Aklan I returned to Kalibo and waited for my flight back to Manila.
