Turning My Lens on Tabogon

I came out of seclusion one early Tuesday morning. The day’s assignment deviated from my typical work-from-home routine. I was headed north to discover one of Cebu’s most underappreciated destinations: Tabogon.

Leap of Faith: Canyoneering in Cebu

No one opposed him, as if he guessed what everyone had in mind: seek the ultimate adrenaline thrill. Suggestions for the trip flooded. Everyone was excited to cross this experience off their bucket list. If I remember it right, it was the first time we had a common #travelgoal for summer.

The Lure of Legazpi City

I’m 30 and still lamentably ignorant about my father’s hometown: Daraga, Albay. I wanted to change that but it’s so hard since the Philippines has plenty of fascinating islands, cities and provinces clamoring for a visit. Last April, I crossed off Legazpi city on my travel wishlist.

Bantayan is Bliss

Thump, thump, thumpity, thump. Off went my heart as soon as the sight of swaying palm trees, cyan-blue waters, and soft off-white sands gradually appeared before us.

Camiguin in 36 Hours

Imagine my excitement when Neil brought up his plans to visit Camiguin. Of course, I instantly wanted to tag along! But there was a slight challenge: we only had 36 hours to explore Camiguin.

Offline to Carnaza Island

14 hours. That’s how much time I spend in front of a computer… every day. Crazy, I know. There’s just no escaping the net and, sometimes, it becomes exhausting. I guess this is the curse of young professionals. What happens you unplug from it all?
