The island hopping was supposed to be canceled due to bad weather. Good thing Kuya Roel followed us (like a stalker—haha, just kidding!) throughout the Boardwalk. He then offered to tour us to General Luna, specifically to their boulevard. However, when we arrived and saw the clear sky, we decided to resume our plan.
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.
