Bohol

Bohol is an island province of the Philippines located in the Central Visayas region. It’s capital is Tagibilaran City.  Bohol is a popular tourist desitination with its beaches and resorts.

The Chocolate Hills, numerous mounds of limestone formation, is the most popular attraction.

Tarsiers are haplorrhine primates of the tarsius, a genus in the family of Tarsiidae, which is itself the lone extant family within the infraorder trasiiformes. Although the group was once more widespread, all the species living today are found in the islands of Southeast Asia.

The Blood Compact or Sandugo, was a ritual here in the Philippines where tribes would cut their  wrist and pour their blood into a cup filled with liquid and drink each other’s blood as part of the tribal tradition to seal a friendship.

Kwebang Lampas, Pagbilao Quezon

It was Holy Monday when Apleh, Julius, Erlman, Junjun, Wilbert and I decided to spend a day at the beach here in our province of Quezon in Southern Luzon, beaches are not the most visited picnic sites. However, for us who searched the beauties of our town, a fine-sand and a privately-kept beach in the quite part of Pagbilao town proved to be a perfect pick not only because of it’s white sand, but also of it’s Kwebang Lampas, a cave near the shoreline that may have been formed by waters flowing through it.

The beach is simply beautiful. It has a fine white sand and crystal-clear waters that change with alternating shades of emerald and azure. It’s seabed is devoid of rocks, seaweed and rough coral which is my kind of beach for swimming. Some coral formations however, can be seen by swimming furter from the shore. The shoreline is clean and well-maintained. There are a lot of shady areas as well where you can just lay a blanket if you don’t want to rent a cottage.

Coron, Palawan

It was my first time to go to Busuanga, Palawan, which most of us Filipinos know as part of Coron. I didn’t know what was ahead of me when I went there. And I can say that I was so amazed by the beautiful city of Busuanga. We stayed at Mt. taypas hotel, which gave us quality service and a nice ambiance…

Day 1 - Conquering Mt. Tapyas and Maquinit Hot Springs

Mt. Taypas Hotel around 2:00pm

Mt. Taypas is one of the popular destinations and the second highest place in Coron town in the province of Palawan. From the top, you can see the view of the whole island which was breathtaking!

On our way down, I could already feel my legs shaking. But the view was great and the sunset was marvelous. Then, we went to Maquinit Hot Springs to relax our almost-ready-to-give-way bodies from the climb.
