Both my parents are from Aramuhan, Lemery, Batangas.
Travel from Pasay to Lemery was 2 hour ride in a BLTBCo bus coaches where all rows of seats are open on the right side. They were phased out in the 70s to give way to regular and air-con single door buses.
Lemery was originally accessible via Lipa. Now an alternate route through Tagaytay City , then
ride on the top of the ridges around Taal Ridge,
finally descending to the shore area of Lemery via
Payapa.
Last November 2007, I visited Tiya Angeles at her farm in Arumahan. It was harvest time - Wilmer and myself brought home several sacks of buco, banana, native chicken and other vegetables. That is candidate retirement place!
Maps of Lemery are usually available from NAMRIA. Today, they are everywhere - the first map on the upper right was source from wikipedia, the second one below from Google Earth.
