Welcome to Fantasy World!

A place where dreams almost come true! Located near Lemery, Batangas, this enchanting destination is often mistaken for Tagaytay due to its beautiful rolling hills and stunning views. Originally planned to be a grand theme park like Disneyland, the construction of Fantasy World was halted midway. Despite this, it has become a magical spot for photos and fairy tale fun.

Fantasy World is an Instagram hotspot, perfect for capturing amazing photos. The park's whimsical scenery and dreamy backdrop make it an ideal location for prenuptial shoots and anyone looking to add a touch of magic to their pictures. Imagine walking through the park, surrounded by buildings that look like they’re straight out of a storybook. Every corner offers a new and enchanting photo opportunity.

The highlight of Fantasy World is its towering castle. This grand building was meant to be the main attraction of the theme park. Visitors who are not afraid of heights can climb to the top of the main tower. From there, you will see breathtaking views of the whole park and the beautiful landscape around it. The views from the top of the castle perfectly blend natural beauty and amazing architecture.

So, come and enjoy Fantasy World, where fairy tales and real-life mix. The rides might be still, but the magic is real!

There are lots of Instagram-worthy locations in Fantasy World. Even without effort, the castle alone is incredibly intriguing and looks amazing in pictures. Even though the rides aren't working, you may still sit on them to take amusing pictures.

For P300, you can rent a fairytale or medieval outfit for the duration of your visit, adding to the experience. You may capture far more magic and enjoyment in your selfies and photos when you explore the park dressed according to the theme.

The balcony offers an unobstructed 360-degree view of the castle grounds and the surrounding environment, creating a perfect blend of natural beauty and spectacular architecture.

Cross the hanging bridge

Within the castle grounds, you'll find two gigantic trees connected by a hanging bridge. Climb up and attempt crossing it for more amazing photo chances.

Fantasy World Day Tour Rates

The new admission price is P200 for each individual.

Up until recently, the admission rate was P1000, good for up to five people. Back then, you would still have to pay P1000 even if your group consisted of fewer than five people. However, it was modified to P100 per person in November 2019.

The majority of people who park in front of the castle typically do so only to snap pictures and never inside. However, a portion of that is due to their ignorance about their ability to enter.

The hours of operation for Fantasy World are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Lakbay Sa Tagaytay

Isa sa nakakabighaning lugar sa Pilipinas ay ang Tagaytay, kilala ito sa magagandang tanawin, masasarap na pagkain at may kalamigan ng panahon. Ang Tagaytay ay isang lugar na kung saan masarap ang simoy ng hangin at may maraming Magandang tanawin. Kung talagang gusto mong madama ang malamig na panahon ng Tagaytay, kung gayon ang pinakamahusay na oras upang pumunta sa Tagaytay ay sa mga mas malamig na buwan ng taon, iyon ay, mula Nobyembre hanggang Pebrero.

Maraming p’wedeng puntahan sa Tagaytay tulad ng Fantasy World, Picnic Grove at Twin Lakes Hotel. Isa ang mga ito sa magagandang tanawin sa Tagaytay na kailangan mong puntahan at makita. Ang Fantasy World ay abandonadong theme park na kung saan p’wede pang puntahan at libutin upang makita ang magagandang estraktura ng parke, ito ay matatagpuan sa Diokno Highway, Lemery, Batangas. Ang Picnic Grove naman ay matatagpuan sa Tagaytay-Calamba Road, Tagaytay City, Cavite na kung saan ito ang lugar para sa mga taong kailangan ng mapayapang lugar, puno ito ng magagandang tanawin na siguradong mamahalin ng iyong isip at puso, mayroon din ditong mga fun activities na siguradong masasayahan ka’t gusto mo pa balikan. Ang Twin Lakes Hotel naman ay isa sa magagandang hotel sa ating bansa, ito ay matatagpuan sa Tagaytay - Nasugbu Hwy, Laurel, Batangas, mayroon din itong magandang tanawin at masasarap na pagkain. At syempre, sa daming p’wedeng puntahan, kailangan mong subukan ang buko pie at ube jam ng Tagaytay, p’wede itong pasalubong na tiyak magugustuhan ng mga mahal mo sa buhay, nagbibigay ng masarap na lasa ang buko pie na galing sa Tagaytay, malambot ito at malasa na tiyak mabibitin ka. Sa pangkaragdagan, pagbyahe pa lamang sa Tagaytay ay makakatanaw ka na ng magagandang tanawin, maraming bulaklak na bihira mo makita sa araw-araw, pagbabyhae mo pa lamang malalasap mo na ang malamig na simoy ng hangin na nakakapagpagaan ng loob. Pag-byahe mo pa lamang masisiyahan ka na at matatanggal ang pagod.

(imahe mula sa lakad pilipinas)

Ang unang pasyal ko sa Tagaytay ay noong panahong wala akong problema, hindi pa gaanong bukas ang isipan ko at wala pa akong kaalam-alam sa nangyayari sa ating mundo. Makalipas ang ilang taon, unti unti akong namumulat sa mundo, napuno ako ng problema sa larangan ng edukasyon, nagkaroon ako ng depresyon at napuno ako ng kalungkutan, ngunit nawala ang lahat ng iyon. Sa paglakbay namin sa Tagaytay ng ilang araw, nakatanaw ako ng magagandang tanawin na nakapagbukas sa puso ko, nakapagpagaan sa bigat na nararamdaman ko, nakahinga ako nang maluwag at napamahal ako. Bilang estudyante, umalis akong puno ng puot at bumalik ako ng bukas ang puso’t magaan ang pakiramdam, bumalik akong masaya at handa na sa haharapin kong problema.

Sa ilang araw ng aming paglalakbay, tumatak sa isip ko na sa bawat oras, may mga taong nahihirapan at kailangan ng pahinga, kailangan makakita ng tanawin na nakakapagpagaan sa loob. Tumatak sa isip ko na kahit sa ilang araw, kahit sa maigsing paglalakbay, sasaya tayo. Hindi lang magagandang tanawin na lugar ang makakapagpagaan sa loob natin, sa aming paglalakbay nakatanaw rin kami ng masasayang pamilya na naglalakbay tulad namin, masasayang tao na tila walang problema at masaya sa ginagawa. Tumatak din sa aking isipan na kailangan nating alagaan ang ating kalikasan, karamihan sa atin ay magandang kalikasan ang gamot para sa sarado’t mabigat na pakiramdam, kailangan natin protektahan ang ating kalikasan para sa atin at para rin sa ibangh tao.

Ang mga lugar na aking tinala, sa aming paglalakbay, maraming nakita at napasaya. Sa aming paglalakbay sa Tagaytay, tiyak matutulungan kayo nito, lalo na ang mga taong kailangan ng mapayapang lugar, kailangan magpahinga at kailangan makakita ng magagandang tanawin, oras na para kayo naman ang maglakbay sa Tagaytay.

Paglalakbay sa lungsod ng Tagaytay'

Ang Lungsod ng Tagaytay ay isang lungsod sa Lalawigan ng Cavite, Pilipinas. Isa ito sa pinakasikat na destinasyon ng mga turista sa bansa dahil sa pambihirang tanawin at malamig na klima dahil sa mataas na altitude nito. Tinatanaw nito ang Taal Lake sa Batangas, ang Tagaytay ay nag-aalok ng isa sa mga pinaka-iconic na tanawin ng Pilipinas, ang bulkan na Taal Island sa gitna ng lawa, na makikita mula sa ilang vantage point sa bayan.

https://asianwanderlust.com/en/things-to-do-in-tagaytay-philippines/

Lalong sikat ang Tagaytay sa Taal Volcano. Kadalasang inilarawan bilang isa sa pinakamaliit na bulkan sa mundo, isa talaga ito sa pinakamalaki. Ang buong tagaytay ng Tagaytay ay ang crater rim, at ang Taal Lake ay ang volcanic caldera. Ang maliit na "bulkan" na nakikita mo sa gitna ng lawa ay "vent" lang!

Ang Picnic Grove ay isang masayang atraksyon sa Tagaytay City kung saan matatamasa mo ang kagandahan ng kalikasan. Dito ay pwedeng palibutan ang iyong sarili ng mga malalagong puno at halaman habang tinatamasa ang magagandang tanawin ng Taal Lake at ng bulkan. Takasan ang ingay at init ng lungsod na may tahimik na kapaligiran, malamig na temperatura at masarap na sariwang hangin.

https://www.bettinabacani.com/2016/09/balay-dako-tagaytay.html

Ang ibig sabihin ng Balay Dako ay "malaking bahay" sa wikang Negrense. Tamang-tama ito dahil malaki ang sikat na Tagaytay restawran na ito sa maraming paraan. 

Ang BALAY DAKO ay ang pinakabagong Filipino restaurant ni Chef Tony Boy Escalante na naghahain ng Filipino home cooking at traditional Tagaytay cuisine. Ang pangalan nito ay nangangahulugang "malaking bahay" sa wikang Negresen at tumutukoy sa lugar kung saan nagtitipon ang mga pamilyang Pilipino para sa mga pagdiriwang ng milestone at iba pang espesyal na okasyon. 

Kumain kami sa lugar na ito at ang masasabi ko lang ay 10/10 para sa inihandang pagkain at 10/10 para sa magandang tanawin.

Ang Tagaytay City ay isang sikat na weekend destination para sa maraming residente ng Metro Manila at mga karatig probinsya tulad ng Laguna at Batangas. Bukod sa mas malamig na temperatura, masisiyahan ang mga tao sa iba't ibang restaurant at lugar na nag-aalok ng iba't ibang tanawin ng magandang Taal Lake. Ang isa sa mga pasilidad ay ang Sky Ranch Tagaytay.  Ang 12-acre na parke na ito ay isang themed at entertainment park na may mga nakakakilig na rides, restaurant, horseback riding at mga nakamamanghang tanawin ng Taal Lake. Ito ay isang lugar kung saan ang lahat mula sa mga bata hanggang sa mga matatanda ay maaaring magsaya.

Kilala rin bilang "Palace in the Sky," ang People's Park in the Sky ay kilala sa mataas na altitude nito, na nag-aalok sa mga bisita ng 360-degree na tanawin ng Tagaytay City at mga karatig na probinsya. Mae-enjoy sa lugar na ito ang mga kamangha-manghang tanawin ng luntiang bundok, lawa, at Taal Volcano.

Nagbukas sa publiko ang Museo Orlina noong Enero 26, 2014. Dito matatagpuan ang mga gawa ni Ramon Aurina, isang pioneer Filipino glass sculptor na nakatanggap ng internasyonal na pagkilala. Bilang karagdagan sa mga glass sculpture ni Orlina, ang museo ay nagpapakita rin ng mga painting, sculpture, at iba pang mga gawa ng sining ng mga nasyonal at internasyonal na mga artista.

Pagsusuri ng Pink Sisters Abbey at Chapel. Ang isang simbahan ay isang kategorya ng monasteryo, kaya ito ay isang napaka solemne na lugar upang magnilay, manalangin at kumonekta sa Diyos. Ang lugar ay maaaring maging kanlungan mo mula sa pagkabalisa, stress, at kung ano pa man ang ibinabato sa iyo ng buhay. Bukas ang simbahan.

Hindi kumpleto ang paglalakbay sa napakalamig na bundok na bayan ng Tagaytay kung wala ang karaniwang pamimili sa Pasalubong, Tawilis, at umuusok na Bulalo Filipino beef, bone marrow at vegetable soup. Sa kahabaan ng Mahogany Avenue, ilang hakbang lamang mula sa Tagaytay City Proper, ang Mahogany Market. Isa itong maliit na palengke kung saan maaari kang mamili ng mga karne, sariwang ani, souvenir at maaring matikman ang ilan sa pinakamasasarap na bulalo ng lungsod.

TODAY: The delegation of various sectors from Southern Tagalog gathered at [University of the Philippines Los Baños] Carabao Park in a celebration of Pride Month. This year's theme is, “LAVARN [Fight] LGBTQ+ of Southern Tagalog! Makibeki [Dare to struggle] for land, wages, jobs, inclusive space and rights!”

ST Pride: “Pride started as a riot. The most important thing is having rights in our country. Let's continue to makibeki for everyone!” SIKAD Laguna dedicated a song about the ongoing struggle of the LGBTQ+ community.

UPLB USC: “The spirit of pride as a protest is alive and well to demand land, wages, jobs, inclusive space, and rights!” UPLB USC Chairperson Gio Olivar also encouraged us to stand up and claim the spaces that belong to us.

Lakapati Laguna emphasized the attacks that members of the LGBTQ+ community continue to experience in universities in Laguna, as well as throughout the said province... “It is in our hands to forge a society without discrimination. A society where we can love freely, where all genders and classes are free.” [...]

Dakila PH Collective for Modern Heroism (DAKILA): “What is supposed to be a celebration becomes a grim reminder that the fundamental rights of the [LGBTQ+] community is elusive. Pride should not end today as the community continues to face harsh realities.” 

Kabataan Partylist ST: “Basic rights will always be denied to us by those in office. Let's continue to discuss, organize. Let's show what a lot of young people can do together in Southern Tagalog.”

Bahaghari Batangas: “It's not only students and youth who are at risk. Discrimination continues all the way to the factory. Don't turn a deaf ear to them, listen to the call of the gay community!” 

UPLB Babaylan: “History is witness to LGBTQ+ people fighting back. LGBTQ+ or not, let's fight the policies and social plagues together. We 'dasurv' a society that is colorful, accepting, and free.” 

Anakbayan Quezon: “The crisis of the entire country is palpable in Quezon province. Until this type of society is not dismantled, Pride will remain a protest.” [...]

PAMALAKAYA Cavite: “If we continue to be afraid, no one will protect our rights! Gays must not waver and give up the fight. Be strong! We should not be afraid.” [...] Delegates marched from Carabao Park, UPLB to Junction, Los Baños where the program continued.

Fading Dreams: The Haunting Beauty of Fantasy World Castle in Batangas

Literary Journalism

The Fantasy World Castle in Batangas was once a grandiose theme park that aimed to bring fairy tales to life. However, its fate took a dramatic turn, transforming it into a haunting and eerie landmark.

The construction of the castle was an ambitious undertaking. Towering turrets, intricate facades, and ornate details adorned the structure, creating an atmosphere straight out of a storybook. The castle was set to feature numerous attractions, including a medieval-themed village, a dragon's lair, and enchanting gardens. However, financial difficulties plagued the project, and it never fully realized its grand vision. The park's opening was delayed several times, and after a series of setbacks, including legal disputes and management problems, it eventually closed its doors indefinitely.

In recent years, efforts have emerged to revive the castle and restore its former glory. Various investors and developers have expressed interest in transforming the castle into a viable tourist destination once again. However, as of now, the future of the Fantasy World Castle remains uncertain.

The castle in Batangas stands as a poignant reminder of dreams unfulfilled and the transient nature of grandiose ambitions. It serves as a testament to the power of imagination and the fragile line between fantasy and reality, leaving visitors to ponder the stories that lie within its crumbling walls.

Fantasy World, Disneyland of the Philippines 🌸

When I was still young the only amusement/theme parks I knew that existed in the Philippines were Enchanted Kingdom and Star City. As soon as people heard the news about “Fantasy World”, it drew a lot of attention when people started calling it the “Disneyland of the Philippines”. It is only quite recently that it grew popular, but as a matter of fact, Fantasy World has been there since 2001.

📍 Located along Diokno Highway in Lemery, Batangas.

📍 How to get there?

Ride a bus going to Nasugbu, Batangas. Ask the conductor to drop you off at the “boundary”. Tickets cost only about 170 pesos each. (PHP 170)

From the boundary, ride a tricycle for 10 pesos. Ask the driver to take you to where you can take a Lemery-Boundary jeep. (PHP 10)

Ride a jeep and it will drop you off at the entrance of Fantasy World. (PHP 15)

 And, if ever you are going to Fantasy World with a car. Just use WAZE and it will help you to get there.

⏰ Operating Hours: Open Daily from 8AM to 5PM.

💸 Entrance Fee: 100/PAX

📌 What to do?

Take a lots of photos

Climb to the top of the main tower

Cross the hanging bridge

📌 What to expect?

Appreciate seeing a medieval-themed palace, brilliant rides and different attractions, such as tree houses connected by a hanging bridge, and a tower where they can go and feel like Rapunzel.

It would appear that Fantasy World endeavored to be the Disney World of the Philippines and was intended to be the most excellent amusement park in the nation, however since its development was rarely completed, everything stayed only a dream.

There's a canteen which sold things you can brought from a convenience store. They also have rice meals and sausages  inside. It's quite pricey but if you feel thirsty, you have no choice since food and drinks are not allowed inside.

✨ Review:

Many state that this spot is viewed as the Disneyland of the Philippines, yet actually, it is a long way from that. The spot is little. I genuinely figure the spot ought to be visited as a side outing, as after the family heard Sunday mass at Caleguera, or after a picnic trip in Tagaytay, as there isn't a lot to do and see here beside taking photographs. No big surprise this is one of the prevalent areas for pre-nuptial or birthday photoshoots.

My Little Wandering Feet

    My Mommy always say that we only live once and take as much travel as you want. She says that in travelling, you can de-stress, you can rejuvenate your spirit and you can explore the wonders of the place, know its history and enjoy. Even if I was still a baby, my family will always tag me along in their adventures. My family likes the water so much and love to have staycation over the weekend so most of my travels are mainly swimming or checking in a hotel for an overnight of luxury and buffet breakfast. My mom always plan our trip. She would always have something in store for every occasion or holidays. We would go to theme parks like Dreamplay or Star City or Enchanted Kingdom. Sometimes she wanted it educational, so my wandering feet would take us to zoobic safari, Paradizoo or even the Manila Zoo. Sometimes we go to concerts like the Disney on Ice which we watched two years in a row or go to a Basketball game of our favorite team. But my most favorite travels are one with a pool or Sea!!!! we have traveled to Palawan, Puerto Galera and other resorts. My most favorite is when I experienced snorkelling in Anilao, Batangas where I got to see the school of fishes up-close. I hope my mom will plan more vacations with us. I’ll keep you posted on my travels soon!!!!!

Volume of passengers, cargoes in W. Visayas rising

#PHnews: Volume of passengers, cargoes in W. Visayas rising

BACOLOD CITY – The volume of passengers and cargoes moving in and out of Panay and Negros Islands has been steadily increasing with the further ease of restrictions amid the improving coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) situation in Western Visayas.

 Frank Carbon, chief executive officer of the Metro Bacolod Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MBCCI), said on Monday the increase means the region’s economy is currently “on a roll”.

 “(Better) movement of passengers and cargoes are generating thousands of jobs,” he said.

 Daily fastcraft trips between cities of Bacolod and Iloilo have already resumed since Oct. 31.

 Carbon also cited the recent launch of Starlite Venus, a roll-on, roll-off (roro) vessel directly connecting the ports of Bacolod and Iloilo to Batangas International Seaport.

 Meanwhile, the MBCCI is also working with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) in helping producers of white shrimps or vannamei boost their production to be able to supply the hotels and restaurants in Metro Manila.

 Like sugar, swine and blue crab, the white shrimp industry contributes to the enlargement of the region’s economy and employment generation, Carbon said.

 The business leader added the reopening of tourism sites such as Magikland, the first outdoor theme park in the Visayas, located in Silay City, Negros Occidental, is also attracting visitors from other islands.

 Carbon urged businesses to reopen their establishments, reinvest, and start generating more jobs and livelihood.

 He said the Development Bank of the Philippines and Land Bank of the Philippines and other financial institutions are now in discussion with the MBCCI on how to finance the economic recovery initiatives of the private sector in the region.

 “This is a reflection of better days ahead,” Carbon added. (PNA)
