Aurora's Finest: The Alluring Baler

BALER, AURORA - I guess the province of Aurora is indeed a seductive one. This is the second time I get to visit the province (first one being Dingalan, Aurora) and first time stepping foot in Baler, which is way more famous than Dingalan.

The long zigzag road of Mount Aurora makes you dizzy more than Baguio does. I should know since I've been a frequent visitor of Baguio for several years. Yet, this long winding road paired with great skilled driving of the bus driver of JoyBus Premiere, makes it more interesting though. We came in a time where its rainy season and I say that it's been burdensome. 

Discover Paradise: Caramoan Islands

Heya, readers! I want to apologize for having to publish this adventure soooo late! I've been doing some stuffs personally which deals with my future, so I wasn't able to update this blogsite. 

Jumping right off the bat, I'm going to share our adventure in the beautiful Caramoan islands!

Discover Paradise: Balite Falls Amadeo Cavite

Planning to go on a nature trip near Manila? Here's one of the ideas you were looking for! Just a few hours drive away from Manila, you might want to visit this hidden gem situated in the town of Amadeo in Cavite.

Visiting Kamay Ni Hesus

It was a spontaneous trip, nonetheless. But it's something worth while, because visiting the Quezon Province is not something me and my family do most of the time. I've personally been to Lucban once since 2000's.

Discover Paradise 2: Camotes Island Cebu

I thought it was my last "hurrah", but not yet.

Tickets to Camotes. Yay!

It was a surprise back-to-the-province kind of day when my family decided to bring me back to our hometown, Cebu. I was caught off-guard since I don't have the right budget to travel with them. Lucky for me, they managed to book me a flight MNL-Cebu v.v. I told my girlfriend about the trip, and she's willing to pay for her fare and the rest of the expenditures will fall under me. So she came with us. (wee!)

Discover Paradise: Burot Beach

Last "hurrah" for summer 2014 - a perfect venue for friends, acquaintances, family, relatives, etc., 

BUROT BEACH.

Listed as one of Luzon's unspoiled beach, Burot promises travelers a "virgin" beach where there is no electricity and overflowing potable water, a secluded beach where most people who wanted total relaxation near Manila is palpable.

Located in the southwest of Luzon, Calatagan is almost 2-3 hours travel time from Manila. Passing by Tagaytay's cold weather, it's a perfect roadtrip for everyone.

A Journey to Commemorate the National Heritages of Cebu and Bohol

One of the joys of being part of a Catholic institution is that there are limited chances for you to get involved in an expedition. I got this very rare opportunity to represent and work for my Alma mater as Marketing Officer for the regularly held - ANGAT KABATAAN CAMP, which was first called ANGAT KABATAAN URDANETA CRUISE AND CAMP 2009 under the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).

Conquering Cagayan De Oro

It was a typical day great for an extreme adventure -- Luzon is partly drought by rains -- while Mindanao is scorching hot. Though the environment seems to defer the heat and pushes us (my college friends) to go on an extreme adventure taking advantage of the best weather there is.

And so the day comes.

The Queen City of the South

Taking a quick break and reflection is the ultimate purpose of my short span vacation in Cebu City. Although I survived a tough February work, I still need to get my myself back in to my both feet.

After a quick struggle because of my indecision's, I finally managed to realize that I really wanted to become a travel blogger (in some way). It was just, the fact of the matter is, each and every travel needs a lot of money. Although I've been arranging some of my travels in a tight budget, I just can't decide where and when should I be traveling, and how I can manage my time from work & travel.

Beautiful Laiya - A Cityscape Escape

Laiya, Batangas - A traveler's point of relaxation. A feel of sanctuary denying the polluted entry of raw materials that leads to illness. I call this, "Heaven Sent".

Best of 2012: Oriental Legazpi trip

It was indeed one of the most unforgettable work trips I've ever done..

I Survived SAGADA

SAGADA, Mountain Province, Philippines - Perhaps one of the best travels I ever had in the past three (3) years. I never thought that this place will be one of my favorites since I last traveled to Legazpi (Bicol).

As I begin to depict my adventure, let me tell my readers first hand that this is a MUST - SEE tourist destination here in the Philippines. Perfect, cold weather for those people very busy with their jobs in the city, a great escape for everyone. 

A family trip is recommended. Although for adolescents, they must guide their parents and old folks during the trek. The activities present mostly are trekking, which requires a lot of strength, intelligence and wisdom, proper guidance and a strong mind and body. 

On behalf of the travelers, I invite you to personally look in to my blog, see the great attractions, and visit the place personally. I wanted to make sure that most people who plans to visit here is 100% fit and ready to SURVIVE SAGADA.

Corregidor trip: A Stronghold of Philippine History

CORREGIDOR ISLAND, Philippines - And so, I've finally set foot in one of the very best places where Philippine history is once molded - a place where lots of historical events and heroes emerged. These are just some of the things when I personally landed into the place where General Douglas McArthur once reigned as a hero for the Philippines in spite of the deadly battles and colonized by his fellow Americans, and held battle together with the Filipinos against the Japanese invasion.
