DIRECTIONS TO THE VENUE:
You can reach the house either by taking Escaldo St. or R. Hidalgo St. if you take Escaldo, just go straight until you see the Barbosa police station (and if you do get lost, just ask where the Barbosa police station is). Beside the station is a house with two flags placed on the window of the 2nd floor: the national flag and the katipunan one. That's Bahay Nakpil. If you take R. Hidalgo, just turn left on the first intersection; there's a chowking branch that you'll see before the street itself.
