Manuroyta!

              I've been to Bicol Region twice.  First visit was spent mostly by touring Legazpi City, exploring the famous world class resort known as Misibis Bay Resort and a little wander in CamSur Wakeboarding Park in Naga.  As what the locals always say: wakeboarding, old churches and world-class resort are not the only things that define Bicol, so, I planned another trip to explore this region more.              I've been to Cagsawa Ruins and took several pictures of Mt. Mayon in different angle from Cagsawa park but I have not tried seeing Mt. Mayon with 5kilometers away from its peak and never reaching its base in a rough-rugged-fun way.  Having said that, I'm quiet curious how it felt like.  I contacted Tourific Travel and Services, one of my trusted partners-in-crime when it comes to travelling up North (they offer several ...

             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 know I'll be exploring Ilocos Region but I never thought I will be there anytime soon. What makes Ilocos famous for me it's because of the following attractions: the mega structure of Bangui Windmills - featured in National Geographic channel; Paoay Church - one of UNESCO heritage site; Calle Crisologo - remnants of Spanish descent of Filipinos in Ilocos; and Vigan longganisa for food lovers.  These reasons may not be wrong but diffinitely not totally right.  Ilocos is not just a location of a mega-structure, a place of old churches, and a site for Spanish fossils - there's more to it than what are featured in magazines and travel channels.               I already knew it'll take too much of our time to travel from Manila to Ilocos, so to save time and energy - we decided to travel at night.  This is also to avoid travelling at noon when it gets really ho...

                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?                 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...

             It all started when I laid my eyes to the black and white picture of Banaue Rice Terraces of my history book.  This was when I am still in primary school.  I was amazed how the terraces were maintained and how beautiful it became year after year.  Since then, its been my hidden desire to see the terraces in close range.             Last week, I was given a chance to visit two of the widest and famous terraces in the country: Banaue and Batad , both are located in Ifugao, Mountain Province.            Travelling to the northern part of Ifugao may seem risky for some because of the underdeveloped  infrastructure that has been featured in different website, several magazines and on TV.  I will not sugarcoat it, travelling to Ifugao, especially to Batad is definitely not a walk in the park experi...
