My first visit to Boracay made me experience a beachfront accommodation but in Diniwid Beach, which is still around a kilometer away from the famous White Beach. Location is fine because it’s away from the crowd and parties. But eventually, you’ll get tired transferring from White to Diniwid Beach. So if you’re after the food…
Right after we got down from the plane, a heavy rain sneaking from the mountains of Aklan got my attention. I ran immediately towards the airport’s arrival area to secure myself from getting wet. Airline staffs were busy distributing umbrellas to all passengers when the rain poured. But I blazed immediately to the arrival hall…
Zuzuni Boutique Hotel was our humble abode during the later days of my third visit in Boracay. The stylish hotel was located on the upper floors of La Cozina Boracay, their in-house restaurant that serves Latin American cuisine. With the aroma we smell every time we passed by the restaurant, it was hard to resist…
“Igganam dayta bag mo ta baka matnag.” A language I rarely hear in the Visayas which is dominated by the Cebuano language. I looked at the direction of the other group and eavesdropped with their conversation. Yes, they’re Ilocanos, like me. While our boat sashayed from the port to Kalanggaman Island, I asked where they’re from,…
Tinago Falls of Iligan City was already featured on this website. The waterfall that I consider the most beautiful that I have seen so far.

Quirky interiors, picturesque facades, and colorful fixtures are the major things, except for good food, to consider when opening a restaurant. Few years ago, Yolanda hit Eastern Visayas and the rebuilding process inspired local restaurateurs to hype up a bit their cafes and food places. Every time I search for places to eat in the…
The light rain, while our plane lands on the runway of Tacloban Airport, brought qualms in visiting the first item on my schedule that weekend. It was my first time in Eastern Visayas region and paying homage to San Juanico Bridge, the longest bridge in the country, was the first thing I planned to do….
Finally, after exciting all people with that “soon to open” tarpaulin in SM City Cebu, Vikings Luxury Buffet already landed in the Queen City of the South. Weeks before April ends, a sponsored ad in Facebook appeared on my timeline, their page started announcing their opening planned a day after the scheduled presidential elections. With…
Pahiyas Festival was probably one of the most stressful festivals I’ve ever attended. Food establishments were not prepared with the influx of tourists, and most of all, traffic management was at its worst. It is a bad idea to attend the festival when the schedule falls on a weekend. Expect that a lot of people…
