Hello! My father is from Baybay but been staying in Manila since then. So, sad to say, have not been there until now.
But, my husband and I would really like to explore the place soon. Thanks for sharing, at least I’ve got to see the old Baybay. God bless 😄

Hi Princess! Yeah, the barbecue lane has long been gone, about 4 years ago if I’m not mistaken. But the barbecue park has been relocated though; same great taste of the chicken barbecue! 😀
