corals in moalboal

Point of view from the drop facing the surface

One of my favorite places to go to for freediving is in the Diving Municipality in the South of Cebu: Moalboal! It is famous for its rich marine life in its beautiful waters and also its well protected Marine Sanctuaries that boasts several colorful corals and probably fishes you don’t normally see when you opt to go for Island Hopping in Mactan (another place known for Diving in Cebu).

Armed with my GoPro HD Hero 2 attached with a blurfix from Snake River Prototyping, I then dip in the blue waters of Moalboal along with Lakbay Diva and The Travelling Feet. We did not do any Continue reading →

Under the sea! Cebu is blessed with rich marine diversity.

One of the most common activities which I often hear from visitors requesting instead of me suggesting is Island hopping. There are plenty of places to go Island hopping in Cebu but the easiest and most convenient would be in Mactan. Just less than an hour away from Cebu City, the Island of Mactan is well known as a diver’s school ground for basic diving courses, and also a favorite activity among tourists: Island Hopping. The best thing about Island hopping in Cebu is that it’s not just going from one island to another, you actually get to swim in the waters, dock on the islands and experience the natural beauty surrounding you. It’s you stepping away from the city and just experience the Islander’s life.  Continue reading →

Safest na gani, Most pa gyud. Imba this place

In another part of our trip in Davao, the gang was taken to a Zipline Center: Zipcity, the same one where I lost my zipline virginity a week before the Davao Food appreciation Tour 2011. This time I decided not too push through with zipping because I was low on budget and I wanted to experience another kind of zipline.. No really I wasn’t scared.. Oh stop it, I was really not scared.

Malagos Garden Resort

Malagos Garden Resort

This is definitely one of my highlights in Davao trip. The Malagos Garden Show has been something I’ve been dreaming to see as I’ve only seen this in advertisements and articles in the Animal Scene Magazine. I’ve also known about this as the star of the show: Dr. Bo Puentespina happens to be a relative of my uncle. (So I guess love for birds runs in the family)

The Malagos Garden resort is a resort perfect for nature lovers who want Continue reading →
