Basking In the Beaches of Batangas (Part II)
That sun-drenched noon my friend and I wandered the beaches so unmindful of the wrinkling sunrays. We amazed ourselves with different rock formations beside the beach that gave us enough encouragement to try reaching the peak of one of these huge rocks!

Ifugao, home of man-made attractions
Much has been said and written about the breathtaking Eighth Wonder of the World. It is referred as stairways to the sky, stunning hillside terraces, and many more. But there is more to appreciate in Ifugao than just the terraces. The rich cultural beliefs and practices, as well as the indigenous skills of the Ifugaos complete the whole picture of the famous rice terraces.

Meet Me In Laguna
Laguna has been a commonplace for me, but that was four years ago when our savings from our weekly school stipend could afford only the inexpensive resorts in Pansol, a small town in Laguna. But don't think Pansol is a place for the less picky ones, because actually it is the opposite.

More on Bicol, More on Mt. Mayon
This home of the dauntless perfect-shaped volcano is indeed a province for walking. Whether on the foot of Mt. Mayon, or in the beaches of Calayukay, walking would always be pleasurable. If not because my getaway was a weekend and I had to squeeze in all my itineraries so I could visit as many places as possible, I would prefer to get on foot.

Nueva Ecija, Philippines: home of Araquio
I was able to sample earlier this year a festival traditionally celebrated in May. The Araquio Festival of Nueva Ecija features combinations of singing, dancing and acting, accentuated with the performance of a local brass band. Read on and enjoy what I learned. You still have a month to prepare, in case you would like to experience it yourself this coming May.

Probing on Philippine Old Churches
Churches, especially the ancient ones, are considered tourist destinations. With this as background, I opted to probe on the condition of Philippine century-old churches. (Based on the story written by the same author for the Philippine Panorama.)

A Hidden Paradise in Bicol
Our destination is not a sparkling, restless or exciting town; it's actually not an easy drive from the Legaspi City (in the Bicol Region, Philippines). But surely, the sights and sounds differ greatly from other places because it is a hidden paradise, left untouched. Check this place out and be one of the firsts to discover.

The area of Sta. Cruz is usually heavy traffic due to groups of sidewalk vendors and quite a lot of public utility jeepneys, but that Thursday was exceptionally chaotic. It was the Feast of the Black Nazarene!

Intramuros, Manila's 16th Century Walled City

A Leisure Walk In Manila: Chinatown, My Chinatown!
How about an unplanned walk through common (yet less appreciated) destinations in Manila? All my friends were occupied with different weekend stuff so I was not likely to get one as a companion. Why bother, I mumbled to myself, you are here to join me, right? So jump in and let's start the walk!
