  • Tram seen from Ruins in Corregidor Island

    A Tour Through History in an Island called Corregidor

    The distinct sound of the bell floats through the hot summer air off an island 48 kilometers west of Manila. This is Corregidor Island. The round, high-pitched sound of the bell tells everyone to get out from the ruins and gather at the tram. The tour operators don't use modern car horns; they use the traditional bell. This may be a cute gimmick to incorporate the old ways. I'd like to believe that it's more than that. This summer brings in ...

  • Bellaroca villa by the sea at Marinduque

    The Beautiful Life at Bellarocca (Marinduque)

    The Bellarocca is a resort full of contrasts. "Bella" is Italian (or Greek?) for beautiful, "rocca" is rock. This small, green island off the edge of Marinduque (Philippines) is home to white-walled architecture inspired by Santorini (Greece). The white structures beautifully float from the green foliage and the azure sea, framed by the blue sky. We all know that the province of Marinduque is the host of the world-famous Moriones festival. We also know from our grade school geography lesson that ...

  • Fireplace at The Manor (Camp John Hay, Baguio City)

    The Manor at Camp John Hay, Baguio City

    They say the early bird gets the worm. True. But there's more. Those who rise early get to discover that this early, the first week of November, there's fog in Metro Manila. Yes, fog, not smog. A truly wonderful sight. It's so beautiful (well, at least for those with roof over their heads), with the blinking red light on top of the nearby cellsite greatly muted and dispersed. It's like being in Baguio City. Except nothing really substitutes for Baguio. Baguio ...

  • Boat getting ready for whale shark watching

    Swimming with the Butanding (Whale Shark) in Donsol, Sorsogon

    Bungee jumping, no matter how scary it looks, is controlled excitement because we have control over the equipment. Same with the roller coaster and other major rides in theme parks. An interaction with whale sharks, on the other hand, is done in the whale sharks' natural environment -- the deep blue sea. The experience involves a huge shark that could grow to lengths of 18 meters and weigh 40 tons. We certainly can't control it. It's going to be fun and ...

  • Humboldt Penguins at Manila Ocean Park

    Trails to Antarctica, Penguin Exhibit and Snow Village, Manila Ocean Park

    Time flies so fast (and structures deteriorate a little slower, attractions become boring quite sooner). We can't believe that it had been more than 3 years ago since we've last visited the Manila Ocean Park. This travel blog was just starting and we were using the good old point-and-shoot camera. There were a few attractions at the Manila Ocean Park. No penguins. No ice village. The place would be impressive for first time visitors. On the other hand, the only way ...
