yAn A.L. — Sat, 04 Nov 2017 22:55:00 +0000

Off the coast of Mauban floats a small island, Cagbalete, which looks ordinary at first glance. However, a great scenery resides underneath its waters, which only reveals at low tide. Cagbalete Island is one of the pride of Quezon province. It features wide coastlines and an ecologically diverse habitat. The verdant greens serves as a host to unique […]

Things to do in Quezon Province

yAn A.L. — Sat, 08 Nov 2014 18:10:20 +0000

Quezon Province was my point of interest in the last two months. I spent my pre-birthday beach camp in Padre Burgos with quick visits to some random beauties in the municipality including the neighboring Pagbilao. The week after that, I included Lucban, Quezon in my eastern Laguna road trip. The following weekend, I ventured alone […]

Cagbalete: The Unveiling of the Ebbing Tide

yAn A.L. — Wed, 29 Oct 2014 18:37:26 +0000

I started to feel dizzy and uncomfortable when the bus became shaky all of a sudden. The clock above the driver’s seat ticked to 12 noon. I saw no signs of Lucena yet. Four hours had passed and yet we were still in the middle of a dusty and rocky road. Then I thought, where […]

A Night Walk in Lucban, Quezon

yAn A.L. — Wed, 01 Oct 2014 04:57:06 +0000

From Kamay Ni Hesus, I took a tricycle to Lucban Church (a.k.a Church of Saint Louis of Toulouse). It was already past 6:00 in the evening, but I still wanted to see the church and try pancit habhab, a local delicacy. I never thought of the last public transport schedule to my next stop. All […]

Oh! Dear, Alibijaban Island: You’re Full of Surprises!

yAn A.L. — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 08:12:24 +0000

From the moment I saw the photos of Alibijaban from Manong Unyol, I always to wanted to visit the island – even if it means going alone. I made several attempts the past weekend, but a lot of things happened that eventually delayed my trip. So I marked Alibijaban Island an elusive destination. Last Saturday, […]

Alibijaban Island: A DIY Travel Guide

yAn A.L. — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 04:37:50 +0000

Without any plans in mind, I boarded a bus to Lucena one Saturday night. From Lucena, I took another bus to San Andres in Quezon province. I was alone and had no contact person at hand. All I wanted that time is to experience Alibijaban first hand. Luckily, the trip wasn’t a mess. I will […]

A Moment of Reflection at Kamay Ni Hesus

There are few people who are gifted with faith healing – one of them is Rev. Fr. Joey Faller. Father Joey is the brainchild of Kamay ni Hesus, a shrine that houses a convent-like building for religious activities, a chapel, a grotto, a replica of Noah’s Ark, mini representation of the Garden of Eden, life size statues […]

Hinguiwin Falls Side Trip: Ventured Adventure

yAn A.L. — Sat, 13 Sep 2014 01:13:04 +0000

Fresh from our runaway camp in Borawan Island, we headed directly to Hinguiwin Falls without any idea what to see, what to encounter in the trail, and what to expect. A day before, while on board the minibus from Lucena to Padre Burgos, I happened to glance a “not-so-artistically” designed banner – asking passers-by to pay a […]

Borawan Beach and Dampalitan Island: An Unplanned Trip to Quezon Province

yAn A.L. — Wed, 10 Sep 2014 20:29:29 +0000

When I only had a week to my birthday, I constantly searched for a quick weekend getaway that is close to Manila. Then I found Alibijaban Island in San Andress, Quezon. Unfortunately, there weren’t enough transport information in the web so I did not take a risk. I will bring some officemates with me, hence, I couldn’t afford […]
