That Island Called Bantayan

Since we were not able to check in for our flight to Coron, lover and I decided to go to a paradise that's waiting up north of Cebu, Bantayan Island. Bantayan island is composed of these three municipalities: Madridejos, Bantayan and Sta.Fe. The municipality of Sta.Fe boasts a shoreline of pure white sand, beautiful island destinations and one unique island experience.

From Mactan Cebu International Airport, we headed to Cebu North Bus Terminal where we can find the buses and vans that will take us to Hagnaya. From Hagnaya Port, we rode on the RORO vessel for Sta. Fe

Upon arriving at Sta.Fe, environmental fees are collected. There are a lot of accomodations and beach resorts in the island. If you're a backpacker, you can choose to stay at 5Pearls. You can contact the lodge at 09495694082.

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 .

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.

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.  ...
