Manuroyta!

             Sorsogon may sound near but its actually far, not really as famous as other cities in Bicol Region.  Despite its not being explored by many, I still decided to chose this place as my next adventure destination.  After experiencing the ATV ride to Mount Pinatubo in Cagsawa Ruins yesterday, we decided to rent a van and travel to Gubat, Sorsogon.  We left the Time Zone Hotel at around 5am so that we can save time in travelling ( we are only planning to explore Sorsogon in one day).

               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 ...

            Samal Island is known for its wonderful and clean beaches, exotic wildlife but not for a breathtaking waterfalls.  When Hagimit Falls , which is located in Penaplata, Island Garden City of Samal (IGaCoS) opened in pubic - it adds up to the city's tourist attractions and its part of why the city is now known for.                 Surrounded by trees, herbal plants and bamboos - the falls is a sight to behold.  Not so tall  but its not a lonely falls, there are two, oh!, there's four - oh so many of them. Its a cascade of so many smaller falls that stream to a basin of cool water which is surround by hagimit trees  - where the place got its name.               Getting there is not a problem.  Its as simple as riding a bus from Magsaysay Park in Leon Garcia St., Davao City for P40/pax.  I suggest you ride the Island Ci...

               When we decided to hit the beach again, bask in the sun and enjoy the sand - we chose to go to Nagsasa Cove this time.  This place may sound familiar for some but most of us have not been in this cove yet.  I am guessing one of the reason its because it is farther compared to Anawangin Cove or Capones Island.                 Our trip started from Victory Liner Cubao.  We're not able to get the direct trip (Cubao-Sta. Cruz/Iba) for only P270/pax (drop-off San Antonio), so we took the Cubao-Olongapo trip which cost us P212/pax and another bus ride from Olongapo City to San Antonio, Zambales fro an additional of P44/pax.              Hence, this is a "let's-go-now-na!" trip, we have not prepared food nor overnight stuff that we must bring other than clothes and jackets.  So we dropped by San Antonio public market located at the ...
