Tiered waterfalls are ubiquitous here in the Philippines. I remember visiting one in Albay, as well as the famous seven waterfalls of Murcia, Negros Occidental. This time, I had it at the City of Majestic Waterfalls, Iligan City. Unlike the others that usually start at the lowest tiered, this time, I started with the highest…
“Hanggang dito lang kami,” the jeepney driver told me. I was seated right beside him and when I looked inside the vehicle, only the jeepney conductor was there. I immediately got down the jeep and started walking towards Mandulog Bridge. A police checkpoint was located at the other end of the bridge where I asked…
“Sabihin mo Sir isa lang mag-guide sa’yo. Huwag mo rin tanungin kung magkano ang guide fee, bigyan mo nalang sila pagkatapos. Pipresyuhan ka ng mga yan.” These were the tips given by the habal-habal driver I chartered for touring the waterfalls within the tourism triangle of Iligan City before we arrive in the jump-off point…

But we’re so unfortunate not to experience seeing them alive, and rumbling. I’m not fascinated with dinosaurs but I remember having about 3 dino toys when I…
Osmeña Peak traverse to Kawasan Falls in Badian, Cebu was the original plan. But since the province had unpredictable weather during the past week, and a greater possibility of rain based on forecast, we didn’t take the risk. I needed to get out of my abode to kill the weekend boredom so I decided to…

I really learned a lot with the religious teachings and I also thanked them for having such sessions because our teacher was required to accommodate them, which means no class. This moment was…
Fine Sunday morning started inside a jam-packed ordinary mini-bus from Cebu City. The bus continued to load passengers as it moved toward the South Cebu road.
