DELICIOUS FOOD, AFFORDABLE PRICES 1. KANTUNAN
Kantunan’s (yes, it’s not a drill, Kantunan is an actual real name) line of carinderias offer inexpensive but delicious food fit for a student’s budget. Found between Mapua University and Lyceum of the Philippines University, students flock around the stalls for a muchdeserved breakfast, lunch, or even dinner. With its jolly servers, students from all over Intramuros are in for a treat with affordable rice meals to keep them at bay. 2. BATCAVE
BY LOUISE LIZAN & DANIELLE MACADANGDANG
It is without a doubt that Intramuros has been a home for most of the Philippines’ history. Its sturdy walls withstanding time itself is seen all throughout the place. However, no matter old and faded these marks are, the famous walled city still manages to be one of the country’s beautiful heritage. Colegio de San Juan de Letran stands high and mighty for four hundred years and has witnessed the change Intramuros have gone through as time passes by, also serving as a temporary home for Letranites. Letranites are used to eating and going around Intramuros, exploring historical places and discovering hidden gems along the way, finding affordable food shacks and leisure trips to pass the time. It is normal to have circled the Intramuros walls during their stay in the Colegio. Now as the newest addition to the Letran community, also given the cost of having a lot of vacant hours, the new breed of Letranites can enjoy these places that are just within their reach, and they’ll probably get fed up of, but it’s a start anyway. What’s a better way to start than on food, right?

Time constraint? There’s a much nearer place if Kantunan’s too much of a walk. Batcave is located just beside Letran, under the shade of trees is another line of carinderias that students can enjoy, offering budget-friendly meals partnered with a cool soft drink to ease up a hot day. Their famous lechon kawali is a best-seller, making bypassers stop and have a taste of their own. 3 & 4. J’S AND ALYSSA’S
