Getting upstairs is more fun in the Philippines, through the scenic view and cool atmosphere of the Banaue Rice Terraces. Commuting is more fun in the Philippines, through the clean and crystal-clear waters of Palawan. Even status updates are more fun, with underwater photos of you diving after a huge whale shark in Donsol.

1 Comment » Trails to Antarctica, Penguin Exhibit and Snow Village, Manila Ocean Park
Time flies so fast (and structures deteriorate a little slower, attractions become boring quite sooner). We can’t believe that it had been more than 3 years ago since we’ve last visited the Manila Ocean Park. This travel blog was just starting and we were using the good old point-and-shoot camera. There were a few attractions

Increase in Philippine Travel to Continue in 2011
The upward trend in Philippine travel continues. For instance, the number of international and domestic tourists in 2009 increased by 14%, from 8.7 million tourists in 2008. Then there was an increase of 10%, and that’s for the first six months of 2010 alone, attributed to the improved economic condition.

The Golden Sand Dunes of La Paz, Ilocos Norte
A desert in a foreign country. This is the weird feeling while standing in the middle of the towering sand dunes. It seems some post-civilization inhabitants would grab our gear and leave us to die. Or a young lady with a mole on her face (if you have someone in mind, no, not that lady)

Save on Airline Travel Expenses
When traveling throughout the Philippines, land travel is still the cheapest. Sitting in a bus from Visayas (or worse, Mindanao) to Luzon, possibly for days, is not exactly a pretty thought. Using the sea lane, through passenger ships, is more comfortable but it still eats up precious time. Air travel is the fastest and most

Hanging out at the Hanging Bridge in Bohol
The concept of a controlled danger, an artifice giving all the sensory perception of a real danger yet totally controlled to a certain extent, makes us enjoy roller coasters and other contraptions that seem to get more insane as we age. At the hanging bridge in Bohol, there is no such control.
The Beach of Panglao Island, Bohol
We’ve already said that we’re taking a small bite at a time of Panglao Island, on real time as we go around the place (map/directions of Panglao Island and Bohol). This time let’s talk about one of the crucial ingredients of Panglao’s allure — its beach.
VisitPinas Top 5 Reasons to Travel and Visit the Philippines
There’s a reason for everything. While some things cannot be explained, and the continued belief of which we characterize as faith, we human beings constantly search for explanations. Not that somebody asked us; we’re just trying to validate and check if you see it the same way. These are the Top Five Reasons why we

Reacquainted with the Manila Domestic Airport
Time heals all wounds. Time also makes some old things really confusingly and surprisingly new. Take for, for instance, the Manila Domestic Airport. I haven’t been here for ages and today’s “reunion” is both refreshing and weird.
Long Weekend Trip to Tagaytay
Another long weekend. The past long weekend, that is, Independence Day. There’s some sense in this holiday policy of the government. Perfect excuse to go out of town; somewhere relaxing but not too far — like Tagaytay City.
Blue Lagoon at Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte
One yardstick of a great destination, in my book, is when it’s somewhere I don’t mind driving straight for hours, get immersed in the splendor of the place for an hour or so, pack up then go home. Pagudpud (Ilocos Norte) definitely fits that standard, although the beauty of this destination is not limited to
