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.

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.

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.  Herel

The environment is not stressful unlike the big challenge of the city life which is the long commute because of traffic. I care about my mental health so I am taking it into consideration living in one of the municipalities of South Cebu cause I get close to nature. Nature gives us hope that no matter how heavy our problems reading a book in any genre beside a living plant on a coast gives us a positive outlook in life.  Depression can hit people whether they like it or not if their circums
