MT. YANGBEW: A REVENGE CLIMB IN LA TRINIDAD'S LITTLE PARADISE

Benguet is situated in the mountainous part of the Philippines, where there are lots of stunning mountains that every mountaineer dreams of climbing. Mt. Yangbew and Mt. Kalugong, on the other hand, are located in La Trinidad, Benguet; Mt. Ulap in Itogon, Benguet; Mt. Tenglawan and Mt. Kabunian in Bakun, Benguet; and many more. These are just some of the mountains that every mountaineer's dream of climbing. These mountains offer breathtaking, panoramic, and instagrammable views.

Sirao Peak: What if I did not organize that climb?

Having a group of people with the same point of interest is really great and surely makes a fun filled adventure. As we all know, laag is fun and it will be funnier when you are with your close friends or even not that close as long as you have the same interest. Nowadays, there are a lot of mountaineering groups anywhere. I actually wrote this article because I had a sudden question in my mind, "what if I did not organize a climb that day to Sirao Peak?" 

I really do love laag, climbing moutains, camping and etc, however, most of my friends are backout dancers and they love to draw and draw and draw and draw.... 

So what I did was, I created an event through Facebook. The very first event I had was held in Mt. Kabuwan, Naga City. Some of my friends as well as acquaintances joined me with this event. It was successfully done and we had so much fun. 

This was the very first event held at Mt. Kabuwan, City of Naga. The group is taking rest after extreme uphill trail. 

Few weeks after, I created another event that was held in Mt. Mago, Carmen. This time I had 20+ joiners. The best part of having such event is that we were able to meet new friends, make adventure and explore new things at the same time together. 

OUTREACH PROGRAM: GILUTONGAN INTEGRATED SCHOOL GILUTONGAN ISLAND CORDOVA

Laag Bisaya: Mission

One team. One goal 2 help

Laag Bisaya aims to help the people and the environment or to educate people about the importance of taking care of our mother nature, the importance of following the Leave No Trace policy. As we all know, nowadays, global warming is (lalong lumalala) due to our carelessness. Aside from that, Laag Bisaya, aims to help the less fortunate children in different places or in the mountainous areas of Visayas by doing an outreach program. 

We collected our funds for the outreach program by organizing outdoor events and in that event, we sell customized t-shirts. The very first outreach program we’ve hosted was last December 2018 held at Gilutongan Elementary School, Gilutungan Island. The last year 2019, we had our second outreach activity held at Mulao Elementary School, Brgy. Mulao Compostela Cebu. 

Unexpectedly, we have received a lot of supplies and cash donations from different entities and kind-hearted people. On this activity, we were able to cater 77 pupils from Grade 2 to Grade 3. Each kit consists of school supplies such as a writing pad, notebook, crayon, pen/pencil, sharpener, plastic envelop, drawing book. Also, we have added basic hygiene kit such as toothbrush, toothpaste, soap and shampoo, and face towel. Each pupil received one kit with school supplies, one set of hygiene kit and one free meal.

Bakun Benguet: A Perfect Paradise to Live with

Baguio City is known to be the summer capital of the Philippines. Lots and lots of tourist from a different corner of the Philippines are coming to explore Baguio and to experience its coldness. Last year, when I had a vacation in Baguio with my college friends from Cebu, we weren't able to explore Baguio much since we only have 2 days at that time.

It's been almost 3 months since I left Cebu. I left Cebu because of too much heartache. HAHAHAHA Char lungs! I left Cebu and move here in Baguio because I like Baguio and the weather is perfectly imperfect. This article should be written and posted supposedly months ago but since poor man ko diris Baguio (no laptop and other resources and also busy), so, therefore, I can't post just easy as that. I even just used my phone in creating and posting this HAHAHA it's too difficult kaya to access and navigate Blogspot using a phone.

San Carlos Heights, Baguio City

When I came here, I have no idea where to go and where to live, despite of searching room for rent online before coming here. Luckily, I got this friend who I asked for a little favor, Rhex. One thing that I can say about Igorots,

Conquering the Perfectly Green Landscape in Alicia Bohol: Binabaje Hills

Bohol, as we all know, is a popular tourist destination all over the world because of its natural beauty and white sand beaches. Surely, we are all familiar with what are these spots in Bohol, right?

Binabaje Hills, Alicia Bohol

A little thing about Binabaje Hills

One of these spots is the Binabaje Hills which is located in the municipality of Alicia. This was discovered a year ago if I'm not mistaken. Numbers of major events such as trail run took part in this place.

Binabaje Hills is actually in our wish list. I conquered Binabaje with Char, Cherry, John, Rell, Lin and her cousin. Basically, Char, Cherry, Rell and John went to Bohol together while Lin and her cousin followed on the next day.

Siquijor Island : A 24 hours and Budgeted Adventure with so much Fun and Great Experience

Every working person deserves a little break and even those who have no work at all claiming to have their break also. Lol. Being a full-time student and full-time employee can be very stressful, I can say because that's what I am doing right now. You're wondering how I manage the stress I had every day, well, just simply Laag to where I want "in my dreams" lol, inhale fresh air and wander in a placing that I've never been visited. There's a lot of places in region VII that you may want to wander without heaps of expenses. It is actually not necessary to have a fancy laag just to relax.

About Siquijor Island

Siquijor Island is a bewitched place according to others but I don't have further information about it because, to be honest, I don't care. When you hear about Siquijor, something thing came out to your mind is about the fantasy of horror things, right? We'll if that's what you think then you are absolutely wrong.

Siquijor Island is just a small island that is full of magnificent nature spots. It is located in Region VII of the Philippines, the nearest City in this not so big island is Dumaguete City. There are heaps of beautiful, nerve breaking and stunning places in Siquijor. Among the places that I've wandered, so far, Siquijor is the best.

Siquijor does not have an airport with scheduled services yet. We can only reach the island via ferries. The current/nearest airport is in Dumaguete City, a short ferry ride away. The main air hub of the region and the only one with international flights is in Mactan-Cebu International Airport in Metro Cebu. Siquijor Island can be reached via ferries also from Cebu City to Dumaguete City then ferry to Siquijor Island. There is also another ferry from Bohol to Larena, Siquijor..

Apo Island: A Total Package for Perfect Unplanned Getaway

Traveling is a perfect a way of collecting memories, having an awesome experience, having new friends and for others, its a way of moving on from one thing to another.
There were some instances wherein our organized travel will be ruin, for instances, an unexpected weather. As we all know, not all the time that the weather can be our friend, sometimes the weather is our secret enemy.

My friends (Zaza, Ness, and Judy)will supposedly go to Camiguin Island to explore its majestic spots, however, due to bad weather condition, they have no choice but to change the plan.  It was cold morning when my friends Ness and Zaza called and asked to go with them to Dumaguete. With no plan and almost empty pocket, I go with them and just enjoy the travel. 

At 2:00 pm the same day we ride series bus direct to Dumaguete City. We stayed in El Oriente resort for 1000.00 Php per night, standard room

It was a rainy night when we arrived in Dumaguete City so I can't exactly describe the place. From bus terminal we ride a tricycle to El Oriente where we stayed overnight. Supposedly, we will go stay at Vintage Inn, however, they are fully booked that time. 

Before lights off, we did some research about tourist spots nearby, then we found an article about Apo Island.  We did a quick research about it next day morning, we went to the place.

Basically, we travel few miles away from Dumaguete proper. The travel from Dumaguete proper to Dauin takes more or less 30-45 minutes via jeepney for 20.00 Php.
