Tara sa Baguio City

DISCLAIMER: Ang mga ito ay pambihirang oras. Dahil sa pandemya, ang mga patakaran sa paglalakbay at iba pang impormasyon ay mabilis na nagbabago. Sa pagpapatuloy na basahin ang artikulong ito, sumasang-ayon ka na i-double check sa mga awtoridad o iba pang mga kinauukulang entity para sa pinakabagong pag-update. Sundin ang mga hakbang sa kalusugan at kaligtasan na ipinatupad sa iyong pinagmulan at patutunguhan. Manatiling ligtas!

Gabay sa Paglalakbay sa Baguio: Narito ang lahat ng kailangan mong malaman mula sa mga tip sa paglalakbay, kung saan manatili, kung ano ang gagawin at pagkain na makakain, napasakop ka namin!

Ako ay isang Mag-aaral sa Junior High School nang magtapak ako sa Baguio sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon. Ito ay ang aming Retreat (Lahat ng Mga Babae) Ako ay ilang hakbang lamang upang maging isang Senior High Student, na kung saan ay isang kaibigan ko at inaasahan ko ito.

Matapos ang higit sa 6 na oras ng pagsakay sa bus mula sa Bataan, sa wakas nakarating kami sa Baguio sa paligid ng tanghalian. Sa kalagitnaan ng pagdiskarga ng aming mga bag, nakaupo kami ng aking mga kaibigan at namahinga sa labas ng van. Habang nag-uusap kami tungkol sa lamig at pag-aalaga ng tanawin ng Burnham Park, bumili kami ng ube at strawberry taho. Nag-iikot kami sa Baguio. Pagod na pagod ako at ang mga batang babae binaba namin ang aming mga bag at pinag-uusapan ang sesyon. Iyon ang aking pinakamaagang memorya ng Baguio City. Kahit na ngayon na ang lungsod ay sumailalim sa maraming mga pagbabago at mas maganda, ang mga bayan na walang katuturan ay naging madali nang ma-access.

Mahalagang Impormasyon tungkol sa Baguio

Baguio sa isang Sulyap: Mahal ng lahat ang Baguio. Ito ang tinaguriang "pinaka-malamig na lungsod sa Pilipinas". Sa mga oras, ang temperatura ay bababa sa kasing baba ng 9 degree Celsius lalo na mula Nobyembre hanggang Pebrero. Ang kasaganaan ng mga puno ng pine sa paligid ng lungsod ay isa sa pinakakikilalang tampok ng lugar. Gustung-gusto ng mga turista ang amoy ng pine sa loob ng maraming taon. (Nakalulungkot, ang mga pine tree na ito ay nabawasan sa bilang sa nakaraang 10 taon.) Kung gusto mo ang bundok at ang malamig na panahon, pumunta sa Baguio.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

PINAKATANYAG NA MGA LUGAR UPANG BISITAHIN ANG BAGUIO:

Burnham Park -

- Ito ay isa sa mga pinaka magagandang lugar sa lungsod. Dito, masisiyahan ka sa mga bulaklak, mag-piknik, sumakay ng bisikleta o magtampisaw ng bangka.

Camp John Hay

- Kapag naiisip mo ang Baguio, ang mga unang bagay na naisip mo ay ang mga puno ng pino, mga puno ng pine, at maraming mga puno ng pine, tama? Live ang pangarap na iyon sa Camp John Hay. Mahusay na bisitahin ang isang maaraw na araw at magpiknik din.

Wright Park

- Ang Wright Park ay pinakatanyag sa mga kabayo. Gayunpaman, mayroong higit dito kaysa sa pagsakay sa kabayo. Mahahanap mo rito ang mga nakamamanghang tanawin at maraming puno ng pino.

Tam-awan Village

- Kung nais mong maranasan ang kaunting kultura ng Cordillera, pumunta sa Tam-awan Village. Maaari mo ring piliing manatili sa gabi sa isa sa mga kubo.

Botanical Garden

- Gustung-gusto ko ang Botanical Garden dahil lamang napuno ito ng lahat ng mga uri ng halaman. Kung nandiyan ka, suriin ang lugar na ito!

The Mansion

- Nais mo bang makita ang bahay kung saan natutulog ang mga pangulo ng bansa kapag binisita nila ang Baguio? Bisitahin ang Mansion! Ilang hakbang lamang ang layo mula sa Wright Park.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

MGA KILALANG BUDGET HOTELS SA BAGUIO

Austrianne Residences.

Hotel Veniz - Season.

V HOTEL AND APARTEL.

Travelite Express Hotel.

Baguio Holidays Villas.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

TRANSPORTATION AROUND BAGUIO:

- Ang pangunahing anyo ng pampublikong transportasyon sa Baguio ay sa pamamagitan ng jeep o taxi. Maaaring mahihirapan kang maghanap ng isang bakanteng taxi o sumakay ng jeep sa oras ng pagmamadali (bandang 6:30 ng umaga hanggang 8:30 ng umaga at 4:00 PM hanggang 9:00 PM).

MGA BAGONG BATAS AT REGULASYON:

- Magkaroon ng kamalayan sa mga bagong patakaran at regulasyon. Hindi pinapayagan ngayon na tumawid sa kalye / maglakad sa mga sidewalk habang ginagamit ang iyong mga gadget, hindi pinapayagan sa publiko ang pagpapakita ng pagmamahal (PDA), hindi rin pinapayagan ang pagmumura, at higit pa!

MGA PANGUNAHING PWEDENG GAWIN SA BAGUIO

Kumain, Kumain at Kumain

- Sa paglipas ng mga taon, ang Baguio ay naging isang lugar ng langit na pagkain. Mahahanap mo rito ang daan-daang mga cafe at restawran kaya't mag-foodtrip at kalimutan ang iyong diyeta

Bisitahin ang mga kalapit na Bayan

- Matatagpuan sa Benguet, ang Baguio ay may ilang mga kagiliw-giliw na kapitbahay. Narito ang isang listahan ng mga kahanga-hangang lugar upang suriin.

Itogon – Mt Ulap, and Mt Ugo

Atok – Northern Blossom, Mt Timbak, and the Sakura Park (Haight’s Place)

Tuba – Bencab Museum, Valleypoint Campsite, and Aran Cave

La Trinidad – Strawberry Farm, Mt Yangbew/Jumbo, Mt Costa, and Mt Kalugong

I-enjoy ang malamig na panahon

- Ilabas ang mga panglamig at scarf, at isakay ang iyong OOTD! Ang Baguio ay maaaring maging sobrang lamig minsan na ang gusto mo lang ay ang baluktot, basahin ang isang libro at uminom ng kape. Kung masuwerte ka, maranasan mo rin ang mahamog na panahon.

Ito pa ang mga maaring gawin sa Baguio

Horseback riding sa Wright Park

Bisitahin ang mga museums

Maglakad sa Camp John Hay’s yellow trail

Magliwaliw sa Tree Top Adventure

Magpamasahe sa Northern Haven

Mag boat ride sa Burnham Park

Maglaro ng bowling sa Centermall’s fifth floor.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

MGA RESPONSABLENG TIP SA PAGLALAKBAY SA BAGUIO

Respetuhin ang Paligid

- Huwag magkalat. Mangyaring hawakan ang iyong basurahan hanggang sa makahanap ka ng basurahan. Kung nasa kalsada ka ng Session, hindi ka makakahanap ng basurahan maliban kung pumasok ka sa loob ng 7-Eleven.

Iwasan ang solong gamit na plastik

- Nagsisimula na ang Baguio ng pagbabawal sa solong gamit na plastik. Gayunpaman, mayroon pa ring mga tindahan na ibabalot ang kanilang mga produkto sa mga ito. Kaya siguraduhing dalhin ang iyong eco bag at sabihin na hindi sa solong-gamit na plastik.

Maging maalalahanin

- Bago ka pumunta sa Baguio, basahin ang tungkol sa mga tradisyon, kultura, relihiyon, at kaugalian ng lugar upang malaman mo kung ano ang nararapat at hindi naaangkop. Karamihan sa mga residente ng Baguio ay mga Igorot na tulad ko. At kadalasan maraming mga turista ang pumupunta sa Baguio na naghahanap ng mga Igorot na umaasang parang makakahanap sila ng isang pangkat ng mga tao na nasa likuran ng lipunan ngayon.

Mamili sa lokal

- Panatilihing buhay ang tradisyunal na mga Sining at suportahan ang mga lokal na artisano. Bumili sa kanila. At subukang huwag makipag-haggle, ang P20 ay tila maliit sa iyo ngunit malaki ang kahulugan nito sa kanila.

Palaging humingi ng pahintulot

- Siguraduhing humingi muna ng pahintulot pagdating sa pagkuha ng mga larawan o video lalo na pagdating sa mga bata.

VIETNAM

I love Vietnam! Although in my research they were mostly mistaken as rude. Well I haven’t experience pa naman sa dalawang beses kong visit. Hindi ka lang talaga nila papatawirin. Hindi uso ung pedestrian lane. I mean uso naman pero hindi katulad sa Pinas na PedXing is Pedxing. The first time we crossed the street we were all running for our lives. Also, you are an instant millionaire! OhmyG yung Pho and BahnMi along the streets! Ka-miss!

Favorite ko yung Danang and Hoi An. Di ko na i detailed yung price neto. Masakit sa bangs. Next trip promise!  

I remember vividly how we came up with this trip. It was in January when we were in a bus to Cu Chi tunnels. Yes, in Vietnam! Clark showed me a photo of the golden hand bridge in Bana hills. He asked me if we could drop by. Upon mabilisang research, I’ve confirm that we needed a plane ride to be there. And, we will only be in Vietnam for the next 48 hours since we will go to Cambodia after. Then the desire grew. 

A month after we booked a flight to Hanoi. 

June 29 (Day 01)  

Napansin ko all Cebpac flights to Vietnam starts at 10PM everyday. We arrived at Hanoi around 1AM. The weather was humid. Parang Pinas. We immidiately booked grab, affordable naman kasi kaya malakas loob naming mag grab. We stayed at Ellogia Rusta in Ho Kiem District Hanoi.

Ellogia Rusta: It is cheap! No free breakfast. The rooms have a small balcony where you could smoke. They were helpful specially with the tours and transfers. 

So that morning also, sabak na agad sa tour. Hapit sa oras e. I booked a Nimh Binh tour. They said it is like Halong bay in land. Kaso Bes sobrang init. Nag boat kami na may nagsasagwan na nakababad sa araw. Parang Elnido rock formation ung paligid. We’ve been to quite alot of places. Nakapag bike din kami and nakaakayat sa mountain. Di ko na nakuha ung bet kong pose. Sobrang init di ko na kaya. Sabi nila parang naging location daw yun ng movie. I forgot if it was Godzilla? We hurried back to Hanoi. We informed our tour guide na we have a flight to Danang. 

We flew to Danang and Checked in to Queen’s Finger Hotel. 

Queen’s Finger: Sobrang sulit! We got a room for Php 1,775/night( divided by 2). Sobrang sulit!! The ambiance, the facility and the breakfast. Pang 5 star talaga. Yung mirror nila sa banyo automatic. Manghang mangha ako hahah! Yung ppol nila sa rooftoop infinity pool. Yung breakfast nila from local food like Pho to western to chinese. Name it! They have it. 

June 30 (Day02)

We started Day 02 with the hotel’s free buffet. Syempre naman! And then we waited for the tour. We went to Bana Hills. Where the golden hand was found. Yung main reason bat kami nagpunta dito. It was surreal. The feeling and the experience! Para ka talagang nasa ibang bansa. I booked the tour from Danang Green. Local tour provider sila. Nalimot ko na how much we paid. Pero alam ko around Php1,500 - P1,800. RT transfers (Hotel-Bana Hills-Hotel + Entrance fee). I must say cheap na sya. 

When we arrived at Bana hills, chaotic! Daming tao. Tourist spot talaga sya e. What mesmerized me was the cable car! 30 minutes ride paakyat. Yung castle and the main theme park was located sa taas. So no other way but to ride the cable car. And it is included sa entrance. Di mo mamalayan yung oras! And then we ate at a Japanese Buffet for lunch. At ang bilis na ng pangyayari. The tour guide left us. Buti na lang madami silang car sa vicinity so sinali na kami sa ibang grupo para bumalik. Di ko pa nasulit ung buong theme Park. Pero one day babalik ako tapos dun naman mag check in sa tuktok. They have a hotel at the top of the mountain! 

Our original itinerary for this night is to have dinner and then go to the bridge na bumubuga ng apoy at 8PM on weekends. 

We had Dinner at Ngon VIlla. Wala masyadong tao pero reservation is required I guess. I reseved months ahead. Its a fine dining buffet restaurant. At ang sarap ng mga food!  Its a little pricey tho, so I asked the manager (na Pinoy) if they surprise my friend. May celebration lang para di kami ma guilty. HAHA! And awkward BWAHHAA

Dahil busog na kami tinamad na kami puntahan yung bridge na bumubuga ng apoy. Which by the way can be seen from out hotel naman. So we decided to swim. Capping the night with a beer with Danang view. Ahhhh! Relaxing! 

July 1 (Day 03) 

The next morning we had breakfast. And we wnet back to our hotel room to pack again since we will go to Hoi An. Another city. We should check the city pala before checking out sana kaso Clark is a it under the weather so he slept. While I walked alone papunta sa beach. Which is by the way 2-3 minute walk lang from our hotel. Ang ganda ng beach nila. Hindi maganda ung tubig and I didn’t swim pero gusto ko yung may buildings and may sand na magkatabi. Naglakad lang ako ang naghabol ng mga pigeons. hahaha

We checked out and booked grabe to Hoi An. Malapit lapit lang naman. We check-in at the Eath Villa. 

The Earth Villa: Grabe to!! The room is so relaxing the vibe! And we got for P1,100 per night with breakfast. 

We ate lunch at a hotel in front of our villa. Medyo Afternoon na yun. The plan was to go to Hoi An. Pero tinatamad si Clark. Dahil ata malapit na ung birthday nya kaya sya nilalagnat nung mga panahong yan. Nag-bike ako magisa to old town. Medyo malayo tsaka madilim yung daan pero tolerable main highway naman. Grabe! Worht the pagod, sobrang ganda sa old town. Madilim na romantic. Eto yung gusto kong balikan sa Danang talaga huhu!  

July 2 (Day 04)

Original Plan: Checked out and go on a Hue Tour. Ride a sleeper train from Hue to Hanoi at night. 

Tunay na nangyari: Nag extend ng another night. Nagbook ng early morning flight the next day to Hanoi. Natulog maghapon. We planned to go back to Old town that night kaso umulan. 

July 3 (Day 05) 

Original Plan: Overnight cruise at Halong Bay Tuna na nangyari: We fought. 

We arrived at Hanoi ng 9AM. Per months research, 4 hours and minimum from airport to Halong. Pero sabi sa grab nya kaya daw dumating ng 12:30PM. The cruise will sail at 11:45AM. Basta do the math. I’ve decided na bumalik na lang sa Hanoi. While he is frustrated kasi kaya naman daw. Sobrang galit na galit sya. He didn’t talk to me or ate in the past 24 hours sa galit. 

Lesson learned: Learn to compromise self.  Willing nga syang mag compromise kahit walang datnan basta tinry. I should have seen that bago kami magbook ng flight a day before. 

Ayun, baka last na namin to. HAHA

Btw, we booked a different hotel. 

July 3 (Day 05)

Original Plan: Check out and then do city tour.  Tunay na nangyari: Checked out and stayed at the Airport 13 hours before our flight. Imagine! And its my fault I know! HAHAH

Overall it was a good trip, minus the away. Nagkabati naman kami when we arrived in Manila. If I would be given a chance, balik akong Danang and Hoi An. I would also want to gift Clark a Halong Bay cruise, utang ko sa kanya yun. hahaha

LAKBAY - SANAYSAY

Lahug, Cebu City, Philippines

Ang Lahug ay isang lugar na dating natatakpan ng malawak na kalawakan ng nagtataasang mga puno. Noong dekada ng 1950, isang negosyanteng pumapasok ang nagtayo ng isang sunod sa moda at pangunahing distrito ng tirahan na ngayon ay kilala bilang The Beverly Hills.

Ang Lahug ay itinuturing na pangalawang pinakamalaking barangay sa loob ng Cebu City. Naging tahanan din ito ng maraming pamumuhunan at negosyo. Ang Lahug ay naging bahagi na ng economic at social cycle ng Cebu City.

Madaming mga magagandang lugar na matatagpuan lamang sa Lahug, Cebu City. Una sa listahan ng mga turista ang ay

Cebu Taoist Temple

Ang Cebu Taoist Temple ay itinayo noong 1972 ng malaking komunidad ng mga Tsino ng Cebu. Ang huli ay ang tanging templong bukas para sa mga mananamba at hindi sumasamba. Ang pasukan sa templo ay isang replika ng Great Wall of China.Ang Taoist Temple ay ang sentro ng pagsamba para sa Taoism, ang relihiyon na sumusunod sa mga turo ng sinaunang pilosopong Tsino, si Lao Zi. Sa templo, ang mga deboto ay nagsasagawa ng mga ritwal. Ang isang ritwal ay kung saan ang isang tao ay nagdarasal sa mga diyos na pagbigyan ang kanyang hiling.

Temple of Leah

Ang Temple of Leah ay isa sa mga dapat bisitahin na atraksyon sa Cebu. Ito ay nakakaakit ng mga dayuhan at lokal na turista para sa nakamamanghang istilo ng arkitektura at tinatanaw ang Cebu City. Mayroong dalawang malalaking gintong estatwa ng mga leon na nakatayong mga bantay sa magkabilang gilid ng pangunahing hagdan patungo sa templo. Pinalamutian ng mga Roman gladiator at isang grupo ng mga estatwa ng mga anghel na kasing laki ng buhay ang mga sulok at iba't ibang bahagi ng gusali.

Ito ay itinayo bilang simbolo ng walang hanggang pagmamahal at walang katapusang debosyon ni Teodorico Adarna sa kanyang asawang si Leah Villa Albino-Adarna. Ibinahagi ni G. Adarna na itinayo niya ang templong ito noong taong 2012 A.D. bilang simbolo ng kanyang walang hanggang pagmamahal at walang humpay na debosyon sa kanyang asawa.

Sirao Garden

Ang Amsterdam sa Netherlands ay isa sa mga pinakasikat na lugar para sa kanilang magagandang hardin ng bulaklak. Nakahanay ang mga nakakabighaning hanay ng mga makukulay na bulaklak sa malalaki at malalawak na field. Ang iba't ibang mga bulaklak tulad ng hyacinths, daffodils, at ang pinakasikat na tulips ay nagbibigay ng kahanga-hangang larawan na lubhang kaakit-akit sa mga turista lalo na sa mga mahilig sa kalikasan.

Sa Cebu, Pilipinas, ang tinatawag na “Mini Amsterdam” ay umaakit ng mga turista mula sa iba’t ibang panig ng bansa at maging sa mga dayuhan. Ito ang sikat na "Sirao Flower Farm".

Nagsimula ang lahat nang magtanim ang mag-asawa ng mga namumulaklak na halaman para anihin at ibenta sa All Soul’s Day. Napansin tuloy nila na nakakaakit ng mga bisita ang kanilang hardin kaya napagdesisyunan nilang huwag nang putulin ang mga ito. Ang pagpasok ng mga turista ay nag-udyok sa kanila na magtanim ng higit pa.

Tops Cebu

Ang Tops Cebu ay masasabing ang pinakasikat na lookout sa Cebu City, na may mga malalawak na tanawin ng malawak na metropolitan, hanggang sa Lapu Lapu at sa mga karatig na isla nito. Ito ay isang sikat na lugar sa gitna ng parehong mga lokal at turista upang panoorin ang paglubog ng araw, dalhin ang kanilang mga kakilala sa mga petsa at magkaroon ng murang hapunan sa ilalim ng mga bituin.

Mountain View Nature's Park

Ang Mountain View Nature's Park ay isang mainam na panlunas sa maingay at mabilis na mga kalye ng Cebu City. Sa Mountain View Nature's Park, ang mga landas ay humahabi sa palibot ng isang magubat na gilid ng burol patungo sa isang koleksyon ng mga atraksyong pampamilya.

Ang Mountain View Nature Park ay talagang isang magandang lugar para sa pamilya, kaibigan, at magkasintahan. Ngayon ito ay talagang isang mahusay na nature escapade mula sa pagmamadali at pagmamadalian ng lungsod.

Mabuting kasali itong limang tourists spots sa Lahug Cebu City na inyong susunod na lalakbayin. Napakaganda ng mga lugar na ito at siguradong hindi masasayang ang oras, panahon at pera dahil ito'y sulit sa mag pamilya.

Reina Cebú

Osmeña Peak CEBU : Queen City of the South

Ang Cebu ay ang pinakalumang lungsod sa Pilipinas.. Madalas itong tinawag na "Queen City of the South". Ang Cebu ang pangunahing sentro ng Kristiyanismo sa Pilipinas dahilan upang maraming mga katoliko ang bumisita sa mga simbahan na dito. Kilala ang Cebu sa mga magagandang beach. Masarap na pagkain, mabuting tao, sobrang mayaman na kasaysayan at kamangha-manghang paraiso- maraming mga isla ng magandang puntahan.

CEBU CITY

1.  Cebu Taoist Temple

Cebu Taoist Temple sa Beverly Hills Subdivision, Cebu City. Ang pamayanan ng Taoismong Tsino ay nagtayo ng templo ng arkitektura ng Tsino nitong 1972. Ang templo na ito ay naging sikat dahil sa mga masining na istruktura nito dahilan upang kahit ang mga hindi naniniwala sa relihiyon ng Taoismo ay bumibisita sa lugar. Mula roon, makikita mo ang nakamamanghang tanawin ng lungsod at maging ang Mactan Island. At syempre, para sa mga Taoista, ito ang mainam na lugar upang manalangin o magnilay. 

2. Templo ni Lea

Templo ni Lea ay nasa kahabaan ng Cebu Transcentral highway. Si Teodorico Soriano Adarna ang nagtayo ng templong ito noong 2012.Ang templo ay isang simbolo ng kanyang walang humpay na pag-ibig sa kanyang asawa ng 53 taon, si Lea Villa Albino-Adarna. Ang templo ay may 24 silid kabilang ang isang museo, isang gallery ng sining at isang silid-aklatan. Bukod dito, ang lugar na ito ay may paboritong at personal na mga gamit ni Lea. ang mga arkitektura ng Greek at Romano ay ang inspirasyon ng templo. Ang mga estatwa ng mga higanteng leon pati na rin ang isang mahusay na hagdanan na may mga anghel na tanso ay mga decors ng Taj Mahal ng Cebu na ito. 

3. Oslob Whale Sharks

Sa kabilang panig ng isla ay maaari kang makaranas ng paglangoy kasama ang Oslob Whale Sharks na kilala bilang "Tuki".Kilala ang Oslob Municipality para sa mga lumang simbahan at magagandang beach ngunit naging mas sikat dahil sa mga Whale Sharks. Makikipag-ugnay ang mga lokal na mangingisda sa mga Whale Sharks sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakain sa kanila , hanggang sa maraming mga turista ang nagsimulang dumating sa Oslob upang makita ang mga Whale Shakrs. Bilang resulta, ang mga turistang ito ay nag snorkel o sumisid upang makita sila ng malapian. Ang panonood ng Oslob Whale Sharks ay isa sa mga nangungunang sa mga listahan ng mga turista na bumibisita sa Cebu dahil sa bihirang karanasan.

4. Cebu Safari and Adventure mula sa Danao, wala pang 30 minuto ay makakarating ka sa Cebu Safari at Adventure Park,  ang pinakamalaking zoo ng Pilipinas. At, mayroon itong pinakamahabang zipline ng Asia -  1.2 kilometro! Ang zoo na ito ay tirahan ng mga  halaman at hayop na iba't ibang uri, tulad ng mga kakaibang tigre at ibon. Ang pagiging magkasing pantay sa mga pang-internasyonal na zoo, dinadala ka ng Cebu Safari at Adventure Parks sa kamangha-manghang kalikasan ng mga bundok ng Carmen

5.Cebu Heritage Monument

siglo na puno ng mga pagsalakay, labanan, at pag-aalsa, ang Cebu ay isang lungsod na may mga kuwentong ikuwento.

6. 10,000 Roses of Cebu

Ang paglipat sa kalapit na isla ng Mactan, maaari mong bisitahin ang 10,000 Roses ng Cebu. Ang kamangha-manghang lugar na ito  ay naging viral sa social media. Ang 10,000 artipisyal na LED na rosas ay pumapalibot sa Roses Café & More. Karamihan sa mga panauhin ay ginusto na pumunta doon sa takipsilim upang makita ang magandang paglubog ng araw habang ang mga rosas ay naiilawan sa gabi. Bukod dito, ang may-ari ng café ay nagnanais na lumikha ng isang romantikong ambiance para sa mga mag-asawa. Nag-aalok ang café ng masarap na pagkain na maaari mong ma-enjoy habang tinatamasa ang magagandang mood.

7.  Osmeña Peak

pagpunta sa timog, maakyat mo ang Osmeña Peak ng Cebu sa Mantalongon, Dalaguete (binibigkas na "Dalaget"). Nakatayo sa 1,013 metro , ang Osmeña Peak ang pinakamataas na punto sa buong isla. Ang pangunahing mga aktibidad dito ay ang paglalakad at kamping. Karamihan sa mga hiker ginusto ang dalawang mga hiking na daanan. Ang una ay nagsisimula sa Badian, na dumaraan sa Kawasan Falls. Sa kabilang banda, ang isa pa ay nasa bayan ng Dumanjug, na nagtatapos sa Brgy Liong. Bilang karagdagan, kapag naglalakbay ka sa tuktok ng bundok, huwag kalimutang dalhin ang iyong tubig, makakatulong ito sa iyo na muling mag-hydrate.

8.Tumalog Falls

Ilang kilometro ang layo mula sa pag-akit ng whale shark ay ang Tumalog Falls. Matatagpuan din ito sa munisipalidad ng Oslob. Tinatawag ng mga lokal ang tubig na ito ng tubig, ang "Toslob Falls" o "Mag-ambak Falls". Ang Tumalog Falls ay isang kurtina tulad ng mga talon na sumasakop sa buong bangin na may cool at malinaw na tubig. Niyakap ni Moss ang mga bato ng bangin na nag-filter ng tubig at nagbibigay ng isang kurtina na epekto. Ito ay isa-ng-isang-uri at talagang nakamamanghang. Samakatuwid, ito ay naging isa sa mga paboritong lugar ng turista sa Cebu.

9. Colon Street

Ang Colon Street ay isang makasaysayang kalsadasa  ng Cebu City na madalas na tinatawag na pinakaluma at pinakamaikling pambansang daan sa Pilipinas. Pinangalanan ito sa ngalan ni Cristóbal Colón.

11.Camotes Island

Mula sa lungsod, pupunta kami sa Hilagang bahagi ng Cebu kung saan namamalagi ang isang nakamamanghang Isla - Camotes Island. Ang oras ng paglalakbay mula sa lungsod ng Cebu patungong Danao Port (kung saan sumakay ka sa isang bangka patungo sa isla) ay halos 1 oras. Mula sa Danao port, ang paglalakbay sa tabi ng dagat ay tumatagal ng dalawang oras.

12. Fort San Pedro

Mga sampung minuto na lakad mula sa Casa Gorordo ang pinakalumang kuta sa Pilipinas - Fort San Pedro. Ang pinuno ng Espanya, si Heneral Miguel Lopez de Legazpi ay nag-utos sa pagtatayo ng kuta na ito. Naisip ni De Legazpi na gamitin ito laban sa mga mandirigmang Muslim. Gayunpaman, sa paglipas ng oras, ginamit ito ng iba pang mga kolonisador sa iba pang mga kadahilanan. Nang sakupin ng mga Amerikano ang Cebu, ginamit ito ng kanilang mga sundalo bilang kanilang tirahan. Gayundin, pinag-aralan ng mga Amerikano ang mga Sugo sa fort na ito. Dagdag pa, sa panahon ng kolonisasyon ng Hapon, ginamit din ng Hapon ang kuta bilang  isang bilanggo at isang ospital.

A 1001-kilometer Journey: Around Western Visayas in 3 Days

Matagal ko nang pangarap mag-solo backpacking trip. Una dahil matigas ang ulo ko, pangalawa gusto ko kasi i-challenge ang sarili ko, pangatlo dahil matigas ang ulo ko. Hahaha! It was December 2016 nang maging successful akong makapagbook ng roundtrip tickets via Air Asia papuntang Kalibo. I paid for them, and then dahil na rin sa pagiging busy sa trabaho, inisip ko na pag malapit na lang saka ako gagawa ng itinerary. Pero syempre bilang napakagaling ko rin na tao, 2 days na lang before ng flight ako nagresearch at gumawa ng rushed itinerary.

July 8, 2017. There I was in our office, holding a peso coin and thinking why on Earth am I letting it decide for me. Torn ako kung anong gagawin ko sa loob ng tatlong araw, anong ruta ang iikutin ko. Iloilo-Guimaras-Bacolod ba? Roxas-Aklan-Antique? Wag na lang kaya ako tumuloy kasi ang irresponsible ko? Hahaha! But still, I flipped it. And it said I should go for Iloilo-Antique-Aklan and forget about the others.

So I did. I went to those three provinces, and boy it was one hell of a good decision.

Day 1: Aklan to Iloilo

The flight to Aklan from Manila was fast, namalayan ko na lang nasa Kalibo International Airport na kami. I think it only took 35 minutes. We arrived at KIA around 4:20 in the afternoon, and I immediately went out of the airport to look for a tricycle to Ceres Bus Terminal. Tip: Wag na kayo sumakay sa labas mismo ng airport kasi medyo mahal kung doon kayo manggagaling. Short walk lang from KIA yong highway kung saan dumadaan most of the tricycles.

The trip was also short, 10 minutes lang I think. I paid 20 pesos and waited for the bus to Iloilo na according sa napagtanungan ko, 5PM pa dumadating. I bought snacks habang naghihintay and in fairness, 5PM sakto dumating yong bus pa-Iloilo. The fare was 253 pesos and will take 4 hours pa-terminal nila sa Jaro, Iloilo.

9PM na nga no’ng nakarating kami and malas kasi umaambon. (Oo wala akong dalang payong sa trip na to, sabi ko naman sa inyo magaling talaga ako eh hahaha). I approached a man to ask anong jeep ang sasakyan ko pa-Ong Bun Pension House (booked via Travel Loka 300 pesos for a solo room), and unfortunately wala na palang dumadaang Jaro-Liko that time dahil gabi na. Fortunately, papunta rin s’ya around the are no’ng pension house so he invited me na mag-taxi na lang kami. 20 minutes after, nasa tapat na kami ng pension house and when I was paying half of our fare, he told me na okay na ‘yon. Nagulat ako mga mamshie! Hahaha! He just added na ganoon daw sila mag-welcome ng mga turista sa Iloilo and okay lang kasi same way lang kami. Nagpasalamat na lang ako (tatanggi pa ba ako e libre na nga?) and proceeded to check in inside the pension house. Lumabas ako saglit to buy light dinner and then spent the night reviewing my itinerary. 12MN, lights off na.

Day 2: Iloilo to Antique

I started the day early to maximize my time. 7AM, nagcheck out na ako sa pension house para diretso na ako sa byahe in the evening. First stop? Breakfast at Madge Cafe (Gastos; 250 pesos). Sumakay ako ng jeep with a signboard na La Paz (7 pesos), and then bumaba sa La Paz Public Market. Nasa loob yung Madge Café.

After breakfast, nilakad ko na lang papuntang Museo Iloilo. Around 5-10 minutes but okay lang kasi malamig no’ng umaga and masarap maglakad lalo na doon sa tulay above Iloilo River. Pagdating ko sa Museo Iloilo (Entrance fee: 50 pesos), ako lang ‘yong guest. Sinalubong ako ng caretaker na si Ate Diday. Pagkatapos ko mag-tour, Ate Diday approached me and asked me kung nalibot ko na ba yong city and then she told me tips and good places to go.

Other places you can go sa area: Arroyo Fountain, Old Iloilo Provincial Capitol

9AM, I was already at Jaro Cathedral. From Museo Iloilo, ride a jeep na may placard na Jaro CPU (7 pesos). Unfortunately, sarado yung church so I just prayed sa entrance then nagpunta ako sa kabilang building to light a candle.

Other places you can go sa area: Casa Mariquit, Nelly Garden a.k.a. Lopez “white” house (kailangan ng reservation), and Sanson y Montinola Antillian House

After Jaro Cathedral, I went to Molo Church. Sumakay ako ng jeep na may placard na “Jaro-Liko” (7 pesos) and nagpababa sa tapat ng St. Paul. Pagbaba ko ng Saint Paul, sumakay ulit ako ng jeep na may placard na “Villa-Mohon” (7 pesos) and bumaba ako sa Plaza Molo.

Other places/s you can go sa area: Camiña Balay nga Bato. It s located near Molo Plaza, along the highway. Tour rates are P150 per person may kasama na yong house tour and tsokolate tasting, P200 per person naman kapag house tour, tsokolate, at pancit molo tasting ang gusto mo.

After touring the plaza and the church, lumabas na ako. I bought meryenda and took the opportunity to ask paano pumunta ng Iloilo City Hall since maganda raw yong view sa roofdeck no’n. According to manang, kailangan ko raw sumakay ng jeep na may placard na “Baluarte” (7 pesos) and sabihin ko sa driver na ibaba ako sa City Hall. The trip took around 20 minutes.

First kong pinuntahan sa City Hall is yung gallery nila. The room is full of displays and it perfectly depicts Iloilo and its rich history. After looking around, I rode the elevator to 7th floor and looked for the entrance ng roofdeck. Soooobrang amazing! You can even see Guimaras Island from there, and the skyline was so beautiful. Plus, everything is freeee!

After enjoying the scenic view, bumaba na ako. Doon lang din ako nakaramdam ng gutom haha! Sa kanto from the city hall, may restaurant where you can eat one of the best tasting La Paz batchoys which is Ted's Old-timer La Paz Batchoy.

Other places you can go sa area: Iloilo Customs House, Calle Real, the cultural core of Downtown Iloilo, Arroyo Fountain, and Old Provincial Capitol.

After the half-day tour, sumakay na ako ng jeep papuntang Molo Terminal kung saan nandoon ang mga buses and vans pa-Garin Farm. Ang placard no’ng jeep is “Villa Arevalo”. When I reached the terminal, I boarded a van (70 pesos) and told the driver na ibaba ako sa San Joaquin. The trip was around an hour and a half and pagbaba ko sa kanto pa-Garin, sumakay ako ng habal-habal (20 pesos). After 10 minutes, nakarating na ako sa Garin. (Entrance fee: 150 pesos)

Garin Farm and Pilgrimage Resort I must say is a mix of agriculture, leisure, and pilgrimage in one place. Agriculture kasi ang daming mga hayop mamshies! As in yung entrance, maririnig mo yung mga baka, manok, ibon. Haha! The walk up to the entrance of the pigrimage was around 10-20 minutes (natagalan ako kasi natuwa ako sa mga baka hahaha). Yung leisure kasi may mga activities sila sa baba ng pilgrimage like zip line, fishing, boating and may restaurant din.

To reach the top of the pilgrimage, 456 steps yung aakyatin mo so better bring water while doing it. May option naman na mag-golf cart kayo paakyat which is 30 pesos but I decided to challenge myself and syempre para tipid din no! (Plus bragging rights na din haha). No kidding, I really had goosebumps when I reached the top, may music pa kasi sila mga mamshie so feeling ko nasa langit talaga ako hahahaha nakakaloka. Ang puti puti no’ng paligid!

6PM na ako nakabalik sa kanto beside the highway dahil nag-enjoy talaga ako ng sobra sa Garin Farm.  Doon na ako naghintay ng bus pa-Culasi, Antique na dadaan sa Tibiao. (Fare: 153 pesos) I reached Antique around 9:30 in the evening and that’s when an almost nightmare started. If you want to know what happened bakit ninerbyos ang parents ko here’s the full story. But long story short, namali ako ng calculate sa oras and ended up almost a thousand kilometers away from home, with no one to turn to, no place to stay aside from an old waiting shed beside the dark, deserted highway. Thank God for angels! Huhu. I ended up sleeping sa bahay ng kapitana ng Brgy. Importante. It was a long night but I am very grateful na everything turned out fine. 💖

Day 3: Antique to Aklan

Maaga ulit ako gumising to catch the sunrise on the way to Kayak Inn Kawa Hot Bath. Manang Suzette a.k.a one of the angels who saved me helped me arranged a habal-habal the night before so 6:30 pa lang ng umaga, on the way na kami sa bundok. The trip will take you around 30 minutes.

Ako lang yong guest ng Kayak Inn that morning, usually the price (250 pesos) is good for 30 minutes lang but they allowed me to stay in one of the kawas until gusto ko. Walang halong charot, worth all the hassle yung place. Ang ganda, ang peaceful, ang sarap nong experience. It will really help you wash away yong mga baon mong sama ng loob from wherever you are. Hahaha! Sulit lahat ng pinagdaanan ko to reach the place so in the end, wala akong kahit kaunting regret.

Tip: No signal sa area so send messages na agad before umakyat. The use of cottage for day-time use plus restroom is free.

After enjoying the place, I immediately went down na rin to catch a bus pa-Kalibo. The trip will take you around 3 hours (155 pesos). You’ll enjoy the scenic view while on your way so prepare your phone pa rin! :)

After reaching Aklan, I looked a tricycle na magdadala sa’kin sa Bakhawan Eco-park. (300 yong tricycle fee which includes the driver as your personal tour guide, taga-picture and the ride pabalik sa Kalibo International Airport)

The eco-park is being tagged as the most successful mangrove reforestation project in the country. More than one kilometer na lakaran ito mga mamshie at may magandang view sa dulo so go push! May cafeteria rin serving local delicacies so yon nalang ang gawin mong inspiration sa paglalakad. Haha!

That’s how I ended my 1001-kilometer journey. It didn’t turn out exactly the way I expected it would be, but I guess that’s what makes the whole trip a memorable one. ✨

PS. 

May you, the one reading this right now, also find the courage to pursue something you’ve been wanting to do even if most of the people are saying you can’t. May it be a solo backpacking trip like what I did, or trying out something new, or finally deciding about something you’ve been running away from for a long, long, time already. Think hard, think about it over and over, and if in the end you still feel all the overwhelming need to do it, I hope you find yourself strong enough to say “Yes, I will!”

THIS COASTAL JUNGLE LODGE IS SRI LANKA’S LATEST ODE TO SUSTAINABLE LUXURY – ELECTRIFY MAGAZINE

As part of Sri Lanka’s Resplendent Ceylon luxury circuit of tea, sea and safari, Wild Coast Tented Lodge is steeped in the country’s most revered experiences. Opened at the beginning of November, the resort was a three year project in the making, as owner Malik Fernando and his team strived to create a seamless juxtaposition of concealed jungle privacy with sweeping beachside access. “Most safari lodges are deep in jungle,” says Fernando. “With Yala being along the coast we are very fortunate to have a beautiful, rugged beachside location.”

Secluded in the grasslands, lagoons and exotic nature of the 98,000 hectares of Yala National Park, the Wild Tented Lodge property is quintessential jungle retreat, with a stretch of pristine coast along the Indian Ocean. In order to highlight the harmony of coastal jungle, Fernando shares that the use of materials like bamboo and teak throughout the property reflect local and sustainable craft, as an organic way to blend the individual tents with the unique landscape. Although this integration was at the forefront of Fernando’s vision, just as significant as curating a sustainable and luxury accommodation, was the aspect of community impact.

From bringing local craftsmen on-site to design the tents, referred to as “cocoons” and “urchins,” to training local fishermen to construct the bamboo structure of the bar and restaurant, the Sri Lankan culture isn’t just a part of Wild Coast Tented Lodge, it is the quality of the property that make it outstanding.

Only three months into welcoming guests, we caught up with Fernando to learn more about the three-year project and its unique location in Yala National Park, along with some Sri Lanka tips that first time travelers can’t miss.

Where are you originally from and what attracted you to Yala National Park?

I am a Sri Lankan, born in Colombo. When I was a kid we use to pack up several times a year and embark on a trip to the then very remote Yala Park taking all our provisions with us – the accommodation was very basic in a few bungalows inside the park. It was a wonderful adventure that many Sri Lankans have fond memories of. So when we were offered the opportunity of a pristine beach side location, I grabbed it.

Can you discuss the juxtaposition of the lodge between the sea and the jungle?

Most Safari lodges are deep in jungle. With Yala being along the coast we are very fortunate to have a beautiful rugged beachside location, perfect for long nature walks, morning yoga and, of course, sundowners after a game drive. The ocean breezes keep the lodge cool.

What was the design process like creating a building for this plot? What about the idea to create these pod tents instead of importing them?

The bar and the restaurant are bamboo and teak shingle structures which replicate the rock formations on the beach. The tents, which we called cocoons and urchins, are of a unique design and made at site by local craftsmen. We wanted to avoid the conventional tent, to create something special. They have achieved a perfect balance between the unique appearance, comfort and sustainability.

Did you have any design inspiration for the interiors of the pods? And how long did it take to fully design, build and furnish the whole lodge?

The interior of the cocoons evokes traditional leather and brass safari elements with a steampunk Jules Verne look; a feeling like one is in a vintage train carriage. The large sloping glass facades were specially made, some overlook private plunge pools. It took us three years to realize our mad dream.

How does the lodge encapsulate the essence of Sri Lanka?  

Wild Coast was largely a local community project. We trained local fishermen from the nearby Kirinda village to erect the bamboo structures. They originated from Java in Indonesia, brought by the British to work the nearby salt pans. Our cuisine highlights their lost “heritage” dishes. We use local cinnamon and tea in our spa treatments.

What is the number one reason people come to Sri Lanka, and specifically, to Wild Coast Tented Lodge?

Sri Lanka is one of the safest countries to visit, tourists are welcomed with a natural warmth. It is about six countries in one — within a short distance topography and climate changes with beautiful vistas around every corner. Wild Coast Tented Lodge is in the south east “dry zone” with brush jungle vegetation and a rugged coast line, with the highest density of leopards in the world.

Of course it varies from guest to guest, but in general, what may a typical day look like for guests at Wild Coast Tented Lodge?

Start the day with sunrise Yoga on the beach, or perhaps a nature walk with one of our rangers, followed by a classic Sri Lankan “Egg Hopper” breakfast in our bamboo dining pavilion. Perhaps a late morning visit to the nearby Buddhist rock temple with panoramic views of the park. The infinity edged swimming pool overlooking the beach is always popular. If you’ve enjoyed a game drive in the morning, a treatment in our Sanctuary Spa would be welcome relaxation. Lunch offer a selection of classic Sri Lankan dishes and international favorites with a Sri Lankan touch. An afternoon game drive could take you to more distant parts of the park, ending with sundowners on the beach, accompanied by spicy Sri Lankan “bites.” After a gourmet dinner, our bamboo clad bar is a lovely spot for a digestif. We have movie nights on the large outdoor screen with wildlife documentaries and movie classics. There is also a lovely dome shaped library to do a bit of work or catch the news.

Are there any places, sights or activities that you would recommend for a first time visitor to Sri Lanka?

Visit the ruined cities and ancient culture of north central Sri Lanka, then the beautiful central Ceylon tea country; spending a day enroute in Kandy, then depending on season, the South Coast with its lovely boutique villas and pristine beaches or the East Coast beaches. And of course safari at Wild Coast Tented Lodge.
