Stunned at Niludhan Falls: A Travel Guide

We were few meters past Barangay Dawis proper when the conductor gazed at me, and then asked in the local language; “You’re alighting at Niludhan, right?” – reaffirming that I am not going farther than what I paid for. I shelled out ₱68 as fare from Bayawan City terminal to Sitio Niludhan in Barangay Dawis. After few minutes, the conductor struck the metal railings, signalling the driver to pull over. Then, for the second time around, he looked at me telling that its high time for me to vacate my seat and disembark. I didn’t see it as a rude ... Read more

Lake Sebu Travel Guide: Where to Stay and How to Get There

Settled at 1000 meters above sea level, and is sandwiched between Roxas-Matulas and Daguma Mountain Ranges, the municipality of Lake Sebu is unsurprisingly temperate and abundantly vegetated. Springs and rivers from these rolling hills provide continuous water supply to the three important watersheds of the town, namely; Lake Sebu, Lake Lahit, and Lake Seloton. The home of the indigenous T’Boli, Ubo, Tiruray, and Manobo tribes is also known for its majestic water cascades, mighty rivers, and a mega-diverse ecosystem, prompting the government to develop and promote the town as an eco-tourism and cultural destination. The lotuses (or loti) are in full bloom in ... Read more

Finding The Real Shangri-La

Much of the world imagine that there are little paradises and spiritual getaways nestled in the mountains and valleys of China and Southeast Asia. In part this can be viewed as a true statement. However, it is also largely the result of works of fiction, and in particular the novel Lost Horizon by James Hilton. This is the book in which the mystical land of Shangri-La was invented – described by Goodreads as a land of mystery and matchless beauty where life is lived in tranquil wonder, beyond the grasp of a doomed world. Since this novel was released in ... Read more

Malumpati Health Spring and Bugang River Tubing in Pandan, Antique: A Travel Guide

Sleepy and tired, I endured Cebu’s interminable, Friday gridlock. My flight was 10PM, and getting through the slow-moving traffic requires a lot of perseverance, though I wasn’t the one driving. However, instead of getting upset, I thought of the beautiful adventure that awaits at the other end of that journey. I arrived in Kalibo as scheduled. However, trips for Antique were no longer available. Hence, I stayed in the city, rented a room for 6 hours, and then headed to Pandan immediately before sunrise.

The Plaza Hotel Balanga: Comfort and Accessibility

The grueling weekday routine could be stressful. Moving back and forth from the office to home is even worse. You may bump some random sulky strangers, exchange some heated useless arguments, or got stuck in an unending gridlock. These stuff make me rather impulsive to look for quick weekend getaway, a location distant enough from the toxic metro. Before the most desired toodle-oo on the week’s terminal hours, I scanned around the internet to look for suggestions. I planned for a desolate trip again, masturdating, as they say, hence a staycation would be the top option. Then I found The ... Read more
