Blown by the wind at Pilillia Windmill Farm

The same company that created the famous Bangui Windmills in Ilocos Norte created another batch of windmills, this time more nearer in Manila, and of course much more nearer my place in Cainta, are the windmills of Pilillia, Rizal.

These windmills are located in a Sitio Bugarin, Pilillia, Rizal which are more commonly known as the wind farm maybe because its vicinity is surrounded with mango / fruit farms.  Before you reach the windmill area per se, you will be passing farm lots with different kind of fruit bearing trees.

We went here without any plan, just one boring day then we decided to drove to this place.  Actually, the day we went here, there was a signage that the area in the windmill proper is still closed for the public, but we just insisted and try our luck until where our wheels may bring us (which ever is closest to the foot of the windmill during march of 2015), that's why I got quite few picture of the windmill.

Today, there may be a lot more improvements in the windmill and I have promised myself that we will be back to see what's latest with this future tourist spot of Rizal.
