Fun day at Manila Ocean Park

Before heading to Ilocos for our adventure in Ilocandia, we spent a day at Manila Ocean Park. This oceanarium is in front of Rizal Park near Manila's kilometer zero. In here you have a lot of tourist attractions and ocean encounters to choose from.


Shark and Rays Encounter

Sharks and sting rays are located just beside Hotel H2O. Sting rays have large bodies and their venoms can harm people. One interesting fact about them is that they are closely related to sharks. Bamboo sharks are found in Manila Ocean Park and their sharp teeth can kill humans. We are required to put on proper attires, life vest and aqua shoes for protection.

Trails to Antartica

This is the first world-class facility park in our country. It gives us a walkthrough of how it is like in a frozen continent of Humboldt penguins and an additional Christmas village.


Yexel's Museum

It is the biggest toy museum that I have ever been. If you are an avid fan of Star Wars, anime and video game characters then you should not miss this toy museum in your bucket-list. There are majestic life-sized movie characters; Lightning McQueen of the movie Cars and the illuminating heart of Marvel's Ironman Tony Stark. I remember on the hallway you can hear iconic lines of the great Optimus Prime.

Best of Camiguin

I am always in awe with God's marvels so I am writing again another natural gem in my country, the island of Camiguin. This is a volcanic island in Northern Mindanao that is bestowed with rich natural pleasures for its waterfalls, hot springs and island beach destinations.  Katibawasan Falls There are direct domestic flights from international airports in our country such as Manila International Airport and Mactan Cebu International Airport to the "Island of Fire". This island is also a boat ride away from Cebu nautical ports. First hot spring is "Ardent Hotspring". What awaits visitors is a tranquil experience because of its thermal water . It sits directly at the foot of Mt.Hibok-Hibok and is surrounded by lush forests. Another tourist destination is Mambukal which is made up of three sulfur pools and two swimming pools .  Ardent Hotspring Camiguin is also rich in waterfall destinations. Among these waterfalls I personally witness "Katibawasan Falls...

Short weekend getaway in Samal Island

Samal island is one of the favorite tourist attractions in the Philippines. I have known since I was a kid that Davao City takes it pride in producing durian fruits and candies. Francisco Bangoy International Airport is domestically accessible within key cities of Manila, Clark, Palawan, Caticlan, Iloilo, Cebu, Bacolod or Zamboanga.  Davao City is the safest metropolis in the country and the gateway to other beautiful destinations in the land of promise. In Magsaysay Park, you can buy durian, pomelo, mangosteen and marang. My message to UP students is to stop spreading rumors and nonsense memes that lead nowhere for wellness sake.  durian park There are available tour packages if you want to view the breathtaking scenic overview of Mt.Apo and revisit our country's history. It is the 24th highest peak on Earth, also known as the father of Philippine mountains. A merry park to visit in Davao City is Camp William. You can also visit People's park and the Davao City Museum.  ...
