Updated: Canyoning in Alegria to Badian, Cebu

Rest in peace Mr. Aldrin Carba Described as one of the best “canyoneering guides” and a pioneer in the field, Mr. Carba, also known as “Ya Man,” was found dead after a 29-hour search and rescue. He went missing following a jump during a canyoning activity on July 26. This post is a tribute to him. Although I never met him personally, I had the opportunity to speak with his mother while staying at their home during our canyoning trip. For safety reasons, I have updated the blog so that those planning to go canyoning in the future are aware that it is not advisable to do so on rainy days. Aside from Cebu’s natural beauty, its white beaches, waterfalls,

Ka-tingo Falls in Catmon, Cebu

I’ve wanted to visit the spectacular hot spring of Cebu, for it is so rare to have something like this here. Considering that there are no active volcanoes visible anywhere in Cebu, it really gives you the question, “how?” But since there was a 7.2-magnitude earthquake that shook Bohol and Cebu last October, the hot spring pool was damaged and was closed for the meantime. However, it still didn’t stop my desire to try it out. I also just discovered that there’s a not-so-known waterfall below the spring, and the good thing is that I recently had this kind of bucket-list-thing to visit all (though not really all) falls in Cebu province. So together with my friends, off we went

The secret of Lambug Beach in Badian

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.

Bojo River Cruisin’ in Aloguinsan

“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.

Coco Palm, Danao

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.

The Beauty of Tingko Beach, Alcoy

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.

Bohol: City Tour

One of the tourist destinations in the Philippines is Bohol, which is a neighboring island of Cebu. Bohol is known for its Chocolate Hills and tarsiers, which are the smallest primates in the world. Let’s start with the Chocolate Hills. Most of them are located in Sagbayan and Carmen. They are covered in green grass that turns brown during the dry season.
