Once you’ll hear Badian, what comes to your mind is Kawasan Falls right? Little did we know that there is a hidden public beach there as beautiful as Moalboal. I’ve heard and read about the place a gazillion times already but didn’t have the nerves to go there yet. Until one day, as the impulsive side of me struck again, I hurriedly packed my stuff and, without any hesitation, went there.
“nice place! will recommend it to my friends!” That’s exactly what I said after our eco-adventure tour with Kuya Lolito, our guide for the day. Bojo River is located in Aloguinsan, in the southern part of Cebu, and honestly, I had never heard of this place before so this was quite an adventure for me, especially since it was my first time here.
Are you into hiking? How about camping? Want to see how Cebu looks from the top? Dreaming of becoming a mountaineer someday? Then this is the perfect place to start, especially if you’re from Cebu. Osmeña Peak is known as the “Little Baguio” of Cebu because of its cool weather that really makes you feel like you’re in Baguio. It is located in the southern part of Cebu Province, specifically in Mantalongon, Dalaguete. The area is also known for its fresh vegetables like cabbages, cauliflower, and pechay. It is considered the highest peak on the island at over 1,000 meters above sea level.
Every team in a company needs a break and some relaxation once in a while. For us, Team Steno, we had our team building at Rancho Cancio in Adlaon Farm, Busay, Lahug City. Located in Cebu City and about a one-hour ride from JY Square, Rancho Cancio is a private rest house that offers a perfect view of parts of Cebu, Lapu-Lapu, and even Bohol.
I’ve been itching to visit this place for a while, and finally, my family decided to go since I treated them to a waterfalls trekking adventure. They even thought it would be postponed because I still had a hangover from my company party the night before. But tadaaaa! We’re here! One of the reasons I wanted to go there was because of their wakeboarding. I had always wanted to try it. We were also able to try ATV riding, waterfalls trekking, and wakeboarding. I wanted to try rappelling and the zipline as well, but I didn’t have enough money left since I treated everyone to the waterfalls trekking.
My friends were planning to go to Funtastic Island, but it got canceled. BUT… my team ended up planning our team building there, so it was still worth the cancellation LOL! Funtastic Island is located in Gibitngil Island, Medellin, and the way to get there is by renting a boat from Medellin and crossing the sea. We stayed at Seahorse Resort in Medellin, and I honestly have no idea how much the room rates are since they were the ones who planned and reserved everything. The photos below show where the rooms are located.
Family Bonding Time! Since it’s summer, my family decided to have a mini getaway. And since Papa didn’t want to go south, we just went to the north side. I searched for resorts there because I’m not really familiar with the area. I even looked into El Salvador, but I didn’t like the place. Then, I saw my friend on Facebook uploading her summer photos. Evil grin And that’s how I found Coco Palm Resort.
We’re bored and we want to have fun. So this is it. After graduation, we seldom saw each other or had fun, so we planned a get-together at Portofino Beach Resort. Portofino Beach Resort is located on Mactan Island in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu. It is one of the most affordable resorts in the area. The resort is the perfect destination for team-building activities, as well as bonding with friends and family. For only 100 pesos on weekdays and 120 pesos on weekends, you can enjoy their white sand and relaxing atmosphere.
I’ve been to Tingko Beach in Alcoy many times already, but I still want to go back there. The beauty of the beach is priceless, and its long white shoreline with crystal-blue waters makes you want to dive in immediately once you arrive. As one of the most popular summer destinations, the place is also a public beach. Yes, that means it’s worth the travel from the city—away from the hassle and busy life.
My first trip to Bantayan Island, located north of Cebu City, Philippines, was back in May 2009 with my friends. After that, I decided I should return to that “little Boracay of Cebu” every year. How to Get There? Going to Bantayan Island will really test your patience, especially with the 2–3 hour bus ride and 1½-hour barge trip. Air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned buses are available to take you from the Cebu North Bus Terminal to Hagnaya Wharf.
