Lumiang and Sumaguing Cave Connections

We got a chance to gather and talk about our next activity during breakfast. That very moment, we learned that mommies Ghie and Beng wouldn’t be joining the course. They anticipated that they won’t be able to sustain the challenge even though they only saw the trail from the pictures. We tried to convince them to pursue the cave connection – telling them that those were just photos and the Read more

Trekking to Bomod-ok Falls

We left Victory Liner Cubao Station at 9PM and reached Baguio City past 3AM the next day. As expected, it was cold, even colder than the bus’ frosting A/C. We transferred to GL/Lizardo Trans, which left Baguio at 4AM, and navigated the Philippines’ most thrilling and most bewildering highway, the Benguet National Highway. After 2 hours traversing the crooked road, we made a stop at Morning Star Fastfood in Barangay Read more

Cave connections Sagada

I admit, I am too curious and that may explain why I am a fervent observer. I forget things that do not foster my interest, keep sensitive stuffs secret, document trivial information, and share funny memories (anonymously, if sensitive). Below were just few of the trivial and most of the funny memories I had with newly earned friends while in Sagada.

cabacungan cove

After taking a relaxing dip in Cabongaoan beach and enjoying the gleeful hop in Culebra Island, we fared to Cabacungan Cove, the fourth stop of our Burgos+Dasol Pangasinan escape. The cove has rocky shores so we got off at a distance where there is enough space between the boat’s keel and the scabrous littoral seabed. We were already wet so we didn’t mind taking another drench.

A friend, Marx of Marxtermind.com, invited me to a weekend Pangasinan tour with 2000-peso budget. I wasn’t skeptical in accepting the invite but had kept my expectations low. I didn’t expect to see something wondrous and didn’t reckon something pristine (Oops! Am I giving you clues?). Anyway, whenever I get travel invites, I undoubtedly give my nods without any presumptions, because, at the end of the day, it is the Read more

cabongaoan beach

Its beach may not be as powdery nor as popular as Boracay and Palawan’s but its water is equally pristine and clear. The dark, dull rocks that protrudes from the fine ivory sand set a grody yet spectacular contrast in the beach front. The slopy terrain of the coastal area offers an unusual experience wherein you can do quick sand surf, slide, or build a hillside sand palace.

These photos were taken during our weekend trip to the towns of Burgos and Dasol in Pangasinan. These were the fruits of enduring a 5-hour loud bus ride, then an hour of sweaty jeepney traverse, and an hour of bumpy tricycle drive. Featured sites are Cabongaoan beach, Tambobong white beach, Snake or Culebra Island, Cabacungan cave, and Osmeña cave. The story or stories behind these photos will come out soon.

How do you define luxury? Luxury, in hospitality business, is always relative to or associated with elegance and comfort, seasoned with unparalleled service, exquisite ambiance, and utmost privacy. It is also well complimented with easily accessible modern facilities and delicately crafted interior designs. Boracay, the Philippines’ premier tourist destination, hosts a number of hotels that offers the comfort and security of your home while on travel. The list below provides Read more

Hotel Essencia Dumaguete

Dumaguete is colloquially known as the city of gentle people and is rightly so. It is the image the locals built for years and has been continuously sown even in the present. Dr. Jose Rizal, Philippines’ National Hero, couldn’t be wrong during his first visit in the city. The city is also known as a university town because, despite of its size, it houses four of the countries biggest universities Read more
