Splash Island (Southwoods Ecocentrum, Binan, Laguna)

Time flies really fast. Standing in front of Splash Island, I smiled at the thought that the first time I was here, I was still single and in school.

Leisure Dive Resort (Mabini, Batangas)

The rain came midway our trip to Leisure Dive Resort. It was still raining when we arrived in this Batangas beach resort on Friday night. It was really a bad timing for Typhoon Cosme to enter the Philippine area of jurisdiction this weekend. I mean, c’mon, we’ve planned the outing for more than a month

The fiesta, while not a uniquely Filipino tradition, is one of the main cultural and religious events in the Philippines.

Rizal Park (Luneta) in Manila City

In every place you go in the Philippines, there’s bound to be a food specialty closely associated with that place. Otap and lechon of Cebu. Durian of Davao. Piyaya of Iloilo.
