Malapascua Island welcomes those who travel in February with slightly wild and wavy seas. But the waves were not as playful as they were in Carnaza Island or Apo Island on my recent visit. What brought me to Malapascua? I thought you wouldn’t ask! Well, I’ve been wondering what this island has in store for a

No matter how many times you visit Metro Manila (which consists of four cities and 13 municipalities), the ever-changing metropolis never ceases to surprise. On my longest visit to the city last April, I tried to cram as many things to do, places to explore and people to see. Living in Metro Manila for a

What makes a meal memorable? Is it the company? 😀 The type of cuisine? 🍱 Or the exquisite dessert? 🍰 Give yourself a few minutes to think. It’s not so hard to pick them out, right? After all, we don’t remember most meals we had while we were traveling. Don’t you wish you wear a memory chip that just replays

Maayo Hotel, located in the same building as Maayo Medical, is the first premier hotel in Mandaue City. It’s one of the newest properties in 2017 that diversified Cebu’s accommodations.

Love underwater photos? I’m not in the mood to write a lengthy post so I decided to simply share with you a few photos of Coron Island’s underwater treasures. This is not film-grade quality but it’s something. Plus, it’s free. So, you’re welcome to ogle these images or use them as teasers so your buddies

Coron conjures up images of scenic lakes, towering karst rock formations, steep cliffs… but not coffee shops. I heard a story from one traveler who tried some authentic coffee brew prepared by Tagbanua people but we were not part of that eco-tour. Luckily, we found a few cozy coffee corners during our stay that I

When you reach Coron town proper, don’t forget to look up and check out Mt. Tapyas. The label “CORON” in white font will be your guide. If you’ve searched other blogs about the way to Mt. Tapyas, you’d be told to look for Malvar Street and an Iglesia ni Cristo church. Once you spot this…

Where to stay in Coron? You won’t find a list of hotels, inns, and guesthouses here. But you will read a first-hand account of R & R Bayview Inn and Coron Gateway Hotel and Suites. Let me guess. You’re not fastidious about where you stay while on vacation. After all, you’re not going to spend the
