I’m not a fan of Batman, never tried and no plans in seeing one; so get ready to throw those boos and hisses. But I was forced to get to know his species during my visit to Monfort Bat Cave Sanctuary in Samal Island. It was funny that I visited Samal just to see those…
The travel to and from the Philippine Eagle Center in Malagos was really a tiring one. I made my way to Lanang for my third accommodation on my first Davao trip, Hotel Tropika. From the city, I found myself transported from a busy road to a tranquil, lush landscape. So be it, Hotel Tropika is…
After a long day of going around the streets of Davao City and nearby Samal Island, I wanted to press the night button for me to be forced to have a relaxing sleep. I let The Pinnacle Hotel and Suites to be my glamorous host, all I needed was a rest, preferably a good one….
It was drizzling when the plane from Cebu landed in Francisco Bangoy International Airport. I immediately made my way out of the terminal to the queue of people on the taxi stand. Research was the last thing I did for this trip and trusting my navigation skills won’t work. I just told the driver to…

The idea of commuting was considered more as an option when we were overcharged by a habal-habal driver, charging us Php100 each for the ride from General Luna to Dapa Public Market,…
The food in the Friday Pre-Jungle buffet of Kermit Resort, though on a limited number of food options, were good that made me go back to the spread for several rounds. It ended the day and we went back to Patrick’s with the wish of having a great weather ahead because Siargao island hopping was…
The only stilt houses I saw in the past are not residential yet an accommodation in a resort somewhere in Batangas, I didn’t also have the chance to experience the amazing houses. I was surprised, and glad at the same time, when I found out that one of the things you can actually do away…
You enjoyed the waves in Cloud 9 and the result of your excitement in riding the waves led to a starving tummy. Not a problem because Siargao Island has a lot of places to offer when it comes to dining and I had the opportunity to try some during our visit. We didn’t surf by…
