Paete, wood carvings, paet, ukit. These things are almost synonymous among each other.
One thing that you would first notice (except of course the shops found on almost everywhere) is the narrowness of the streets. Most likely the street lay-out still traces its roots to the Spanish period.
The town was founded in 1580 by Rev.
Juan de Plasencia, two years after he ministered to the town of Lumban. The Spanish missionaries must have been trailblazing the eastern side of Laguna. I am now excited to visit the towns beyond Paete.
