There was plenty of space to park and move around, maybe because we got there when the rest of those who spent their Holy Week vacation are on their way back to Metro Manila. The place, with huge trees generously dotting the entire landscape, is a welcome breather from the suffocating pollution in Metro Manila. ...

About

We could very well post travel logs in our own sites. Still, with a sense of community, promoting travel to and in our country is much easier and more meaningful. This is where we join our fellow Filipinos in exploring the Philippines – its beauty should be enjoyed by Filipinos. This is also a site where we invite non-Filipinos to visit the Philippines. If you love to travel (or would want to write something about why everyone should visit a place, see or do something, somewhere in the Philippines), then you’re most welcome in this collaborative site. Please feel free to share your Philippine travel logs and invite others to join the group, and, of course, visit the Philippines. The Dream. One’s lifetime is too short to see all the splendor of the Philippines. It’s a dream to encourage Filipinos, the most number of Filipinos humanly possible, to see the beauty of the Philippines, either on a reduced cost or for free, then write about the travel for others to read about. It’s an ideal cycle that should perpetuate itself. There are a number of ideas being toyed around and, hopefully, these ideas will become realities. To help. It’s very simple, really. Tell everyone about the beauty of the 7,107 islands collectively called the Philippines. Talk about the Philippine vacation spot you’ve recently visited, or any tourist spots, attractions or resorts that you’ve been to. Be proud about the natural beauty of Pilipinas. It is not a perfect country and we are far from being a perfect people. Our imperfections, however, should not hinder us from being thankful of — and enjoying — the perfect beauty loaned to us by a Higher Being. Feel free to link or point to this site. Who we are. Teenee Tiongson and Fred Pamaos both love to travel. We both have our day jobs which we discharge with absolute dedication and competence. They say work hard, then take time to relax. Traveling provides the much needed relaxation. With the photos and stories of travel, this blog is simply a logical by-product. We are not connected with -- and not paid by -- the featured sites or products (and we’d like to keep it that way). Please take time to read the terms and conditions.
