popular with cold weather, it's different in there that so hot and dry.
Although this village contain many farm and forest, but it can't make the

POLRI Symbol |
There is some part of
monument that has a meaning, for example a fire that epitomize as a hassle like
a fire that flame up. The POLRI also show their symbol as an identity. The
important one is the monument officially assignment at 28th December
1983.
It’s lucky for Tlogowaru
that have monument since struggle for colonial until now. The society also
relish it, for example is always keep it good and interest by clean that place
every month. In addition the POLRI every year go there for recall the hassle.
One word that impress me from Tlogowaru, WONDER.
