The Rico Beach is just one of the several beach front resorts in Brgy. Alubihod of Nueva Valencia, Guimaras. My grandfather (my mother’s side) owns it and it’s now being managed by my uncle who’s the youngest of my mom’s 7 siblings.

Villa Igang is one of the many smaller and secluded resorts up in the northern part of the municipality of Nueva Valencia in the island of Guimaras. Situated just beside Puerto del Mar which is ran by John B. Lacson Colleges Foundation (a local maritime college), Villa Igang sports dozens of cottages for local [...]

Puerto Galera is an ideal get-away especially for divers and snorklers. Great diving spots and clearer waters compared to those off the coast of Batangas or Cavite. It’s not comparable to those in the Visayas, of course, but for those looking for an option nearer to Manila and does not necessitate air travel, Puerto Galera [...]

I’m not sure whether “Cebu is THE Philippines’ leading tourist destination”, but the article from Go Asia: Asia for Visitors list of things to do in Cebu does sum up the best must-see’s in the island quite well.
The historical Colon Street take centerstage, of course. And the buzzing and fast-evolving Cebu shopping scene was f [...]

Definitely a must see place in Davao City. At more than 1500 ft above sea level this is Davao City’s own version of Baguio and Tagaytay. Because it has a breath taking view of the city, is enveloped by beautiful pine trees and has a cool breezy climate (I’d suggest bringing a jacket if you [...]

Having spent most of my adult life in Southern Tagalog, over the years, I’ve grown tired of the beach and pool resorts in Laguna, Cavite and Batangas. I already know Los Baños and Calamba resorts almost like the back of my hand. Add to that the hordes of tourists that ply the South Expressway each [...]

My brother had his long weekend vacation there. According to him, it is a 5-to-6-hour drive going there. But before you’ll get to paradise, you’ll have to encounter first a rough road that is really worth around an hour of your time.

My first time to go to Boracay was five years ago. I stayed there for a few hours [...]

Thanks to the SM Prime Holdings, the establishment of SM Department store in Baguio City changed the landscape of Session Road at our country’s summer capital. The first time I went to SM City Baguio was some time last year. It was around October and it was supposed to be a peak season for [...]

When my nieces from Papua New Guinea came for an impromptu visit, I was tasked to locate a resort where we can hang around for 4 days. Because of the time constraint, most of the top resorts in Galera were fully booked and my agent managed to find a vacant cottage in Oceana Beach Resort.
We left Manila very early, as the boat of the resort was scheduled to pick us up at Leah Beach in Batangas at around 11am. The trip to Batangas was in itself tiring, but with the help and availability of an in-car entertainment system, all the children were preoccupied with the movies which ranged from cartoons to movies starred by Eddie Murphy.
