Tinuy-an Falls, Surigao del Sur
April 2011

This is truly one of our country’s hidden wonders!  Located a couple of hours away from my hometown San Francisco, Tinuy-an falls is touted as the Philippines’ Niagara Falls! If only we could jump from the top to the pool below!

White Water Rafting, Cagayan de Oro City
Circa 2000’s

This photo was taken at a time when digital cameras were a luxury, and disposable water-proof cameras were the way to go for these types of adventures.  This was my first time to go rafting, and the rapids of Cagayan River were superb! Jumping off a bridge in the middle of the river was also very memorable for me, as well as crossing a stream with a very strong current! I’ll definitely return for a more advanced route very soon!

Siliman University, Dumaguete
April 2009

Navigating through Dumaguete City was one hell of a ride as we rented a tricycle to take us around! Imagine 6 grown people making ourselves siksik in this 3-wheeled vehicle! But this was definitely the best way to go around town as this is the main transportation in this charming city in Negros! 

Eden Nature Park, Davao City
March or April 2007

 For only a 30-minute drive from downtown Davao, enjoy the best sunrises at Eden’s amphitheater!

Dahilayan Adventure Park, Bukidnon
April 2010

Who’d have ever thought that an hour away from the Cagayan-Davao high way you’ll find this hidden treasure - Dahilayan Park. The trees in the picnic area were stunning, the rides were exhilarating, and the cold was the perfect addition. This place is a must visit especially when you are in CDO or visiting nearby! 

Boracay Island, Philippines
December 27, 2007

This was taken during my first trip to the country’s most popular beach destination! Boracay’s famous white sand beaches really are God’s gift to humanity - add a lot of creature comforts made available by men and voila! Instant hit! 

Travel Tip: If you are not really into crowds, avoid Boracay during the summer / Holy Week. December in Boracay is kinda mellow, more like Bohol on a weekend. :)

Davao River, Davao City
March 2010

This is one of our most daring adventures to date! To say that it’s exhilarating to conquer one rapid after the other is an understatement! 

Sumilon Blue Waters, Cebu
April 2009

This pitstop for the luxury resort is an attraction on its own.  Don’t you just wanna dive in the blue waters and float forever? We dropped by here on our way to Dumaguete, this was a very good place for pictorials!
