Chasing Waterfalls: A Misty Escape to Mag-Aso Falls in Kabankalan City

Team FW — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 10:38:27 +0000

The journey to Mag-Aso Falls itself is part of the experience. As you get closer, the paved roads give way to a more rugged path, winding through dense trees and over small streams. The air becomes cooler, and the symphony of nature—the chirping of birds, the rustling of leaves, and the distant roar of the […]

Cadapdapan Rice Terraces, Can-Umantad Falls, and Canawa Spring: A Travel Guide to Candijay, Bohol

yAn A.L. — Sat, 01 Apr 2023 13:02:00 +0000

The sun was almost touching the horizon. Its angle had caused the trees to cast stretched shadows on the surface. It radiated less heat. The alternating shade and exposure gave me a comforting mix of chill and warmth as I traversed the highlands of Candijay on a motorbike. The setting sun seemed conducive to a […]

Batad, Banaue Travel Guide (Commute and Where to Stay)

yAn A.L. — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 13:21:04 +0000

Waking up wrapped in a dawn chill, on a hill that is thousand meters above, overlooking a seemingly natural man-made creation, which size is as colossal as the mountain that holds it is truly remarkable. Reaching it may be a frowner to some, however, you’ll forget all about the difficulties when you finally see Batad […]

yAn A.L. — Wed, 27 Mar 2019 12:54:10 +0000

When I set my eyes on something, I’ll make sure to do everything to achieve it. I will only stop if pursuing is really impossible and life-threatening, especially when it comes to travel goals. That was why, when I set my course to Matalom, Leyte, I set my expectation pretty clearly—that before I cross to […]

Cebu Canyoneering and Kawasan Falls Travel Guide: Beyond the Canyons and Waterfalls

yAn A.L. — Fri, 15 Mar 2019 03:23:29 +0000

We’d barely slept the night before. A friend and her daughter missed their flight so they had to re-book an alternative route. Aside from the extra chunk of cash that they needed to shell out for re-booking, the hassle of transferring to another airport and the struggle to get a seat at the busiest time […]

Waterfalls hopping in Samboan: Dao, Aguinid, and Binalayan Hidden Falls

yAn A.L. — Sun, 17 Feb 2019 22:55:22 +0000

The sky was perfect. It wasn’t all blue. The blinding-white clouds formed interesting figures and were moving at slow pace. It provided a minute shade every time it hovered above our smoothly-moving fast craft. The sea, on the other hand, was completely placid, reflecting the exact copies of the figures above it. The minor distortions […]

Stunned at Niludhan Falls: A Travel Guide

yAn A.L. — Sun, 07 Jan 2018 18:34:47 +0000

We were few meters past Barangay Dawis proper when the conductor gazed at me, and then asked in the local language; “You’re alighting at Niludhan, right?” – reaffirming that I am not going farther than what I paid for. I shelled out ₱68 as fare from Bayawan City terminal to Sitio Niludhan in Barangay Dawis. […]

Lake Sebu Travel Guide: Where to Stay and How to Get There

yAn A.L. — Wed, 13 Dec 2017 15:46:38 +0000

Settled at 1000 meters above sea level, and is sandwiched between Roxas-Matulas and Daguma Mountain Ranges, the municipality of Lake Sebu is unsurprisingly temperate and abundantly vegetated. Springs and rivers from these rolling hills provide continuous water supply to the three important watersheds of the town, namely; Lake Sebu, Lake Lahit, and Lake Seloton. The home […]

An Almost Complete Waterfall Hopping in Cotabato and Iligan

yAn A.L. — Wed, 19 Aug 2015 04:53:28 +0000

It was almost complete, and almost a mishap too. We weren’t completely unfortunate though. We finished our Cotabato-Iligan-CDO tour with all body parts intact and, luckily, with less injuries. The Creepy Ride from Cotabato to Midsayap The palpitations started when our PU driver/tour guide in Cotabato Grand Mosque offered to bring us directly to Midsayap and […]

Asik-Asik Falls Travel Guide

yAn A.L. — Sun, 12 Jul 2015 01:30:10 +0000

If that deep-blue river in Hinatuan defines “enchanted”, then Asik-asik Falls is probably the waterfall version of it, wherein the cascades drip from a seemingly unknown source. The lush vegetation that covers the entirety of the perpendicular ravine adds mystery as to where the water is coming. You will have an impression of multiple springs sprouting […]

Kawasan Falls and Cebu Canyoning (Canyoneering) Travel Guide

yAn A.L. — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 14:38:49 +0000

I had been hearing Cebu Canyoning or Canyoneering activities since 2011 but I never got a chance to try it. Yes, not even as of this writing – and that is because of the pesky storm which prompted my guides to cancel the activity. However, instead of going completely broke, I decided to peek on […]

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 […]

A Foggy Ascent at Pico De Loro’s Summit

yAn A.L. — Tue, 19 Aug 2014 16:41:16 +0000

Every climber has his/her own awesome story of ascent. For us, it was the embarrassing-turned-funny memories and some thrill-aggravating, on the spot made-up fictions. It was also made a lot exciting by the gullible and astute companions. But before I share to you the stories of the climb, let me start with a brief introduction. Pico de […]

The Diguisit Falls in Baler, Aurora

The two Diguisit Falls are only two of the four falls to check in Baler and its neighboring towns. Yes – Diguisit falls has two versions and both are comprised of more than three contiguous cascades breaking through the large boulders. The only difference is the volume of the flow wherein the smaller one has […]
