Magalawa Island

Image
               I thought I have explored Zambales to its end but I thought wrong.  When I consulted Google about the list of the islands or a must-see in Zambales - one of the names on the list happened to be unfamiliar and eye-catching - Magalawa Island .                  I have been to Zambales several times, I knew travelling at night is best - less passenger, no traffic (less travel time), you can sleep while travelling.  From Victory Liner Cubao, we took the 11:30pm schedule to Olongapo (the earliest trip from Cubao to Sta. Cruz is 6:30am).  It'll cost you P212/pax.  From Olongapo terminal, we took another bus going to Sta. cruz, only P130/pax  to Iba, Zambales Victory Liner Terminal.  Add P50/pax if you want to be drop at drop-off point - Brgy. Pangolinan, Paluig, Zambales. We chose to stay a little bit longer in Iba terminal because it was ...

Bicol: Misibis Bay Raintree Resort

Image
                I've heard a lot about  Bicol Region , about its famous volcano with a perfect-cone and the dare-devil adventure in  Camsur Water-Sports Complex , the spectacular beauty of  Caramoan Peninsula  and the tongue-scorching cuisine.  Oh, must I mention that this is the home of our local barbie-doll Bb. Pilipinas winner and 1st runner up Ms. Universe 2010 Venus Raj ?                   The highlight of our second day trip in Bicol was in Misibis Bay Raintree Resort . I am sure, most of beach bummers and travelers like us have heard about this world class resort.  Who wouldn't when not just Kris Aquino and Manny 'Pacman' Paquiao who stayed here but Zac Efron too.  The place was huge you need an ATV, mountain bike, dune buggies, a kayak, jet-ski to explore it. the place les...

                 I've heard a lot about  Bicol Region , about its famous volcano with a perfect-cone and the dare-devil adventure in  Camsur Water-Sports Complex , the spectacular beauty of  Caramoan Peninsula  and the tongue-scorching cuisine.  Oh, must I mention that this is the home of our local barbie-doll Bb. Pilipinas winner and 1st runner up Ms. Universe 2010 Venus Raj?                 Our main destination is Legazpi City but we are sad to leave without visiting the famous Camsur Water-Sports Complex in Pili, Camarines Sur , not to add, its only a three (3) hours or less from Legazpi.  So, having realized that, we hired a van from the Legazpi to visit Naga, CWC in Pili and Iriga.  It cost us P3,500 for the whole trip (10 hours usage including fuel, driver and local tour guide).  If you don't know anyo...

Bicol: Legazpi City

Pilipinas winner and 1st runner up Ms. Universe 2010 Venus Raj?                 When my friend informed me that there's a Cebu Pacific for Legazpi City in Albay , I was ecstatic. " This is it!" - I said to myself.  I will now have a chance to see the mighty Mayon Volcano in a distance.             Transportation from the airport is the least of your worry because there are several rent-a-car services inside the airport compound.  If your baggage is not that big and heavy, you may also...
