  • 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 ...

  • Foi Gras and Risotto at Spiral, Sofitel Philippine Plaza

    Spiral at Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila

    Spiral. It's a curve which emanates from a central point, getting progressively farther away as it revolves around the point. This is how "spiral" is characterized in mathematics and in general language. In cuisine, Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila characterizes "spiral" in this manner: "Manila's most fashionable eatery is a concept restaurant with multi-cuisine open cooking stations. Indoor and outdoor environments blend beautifully in the spacious, natural setting." One rainy Saturday provided us a window to explore the Spiral. It was raining, ...

    Ranking the Slides and Pools in Splash Island

    Each person has his/her level of tolerance for pain and fear. Each has different levels of excitement and happiness. What's exciting for some may be boring for others.

  • Pagsanjan Falls (Laguna) close up

    Shooting the Rapids in Pagsanjan Falls (Laguna)

    We were impressed by the expertise of the Cagayan de Oro white water rafting crew as they safely guided the raft through the angry rapids. The Butanding Interaction Officers in Donsol swam smoothly and ably assisted guests in safely interacting with the butanding (whale sharks). They are well-trained and experts in what they do, and if you add back-breaking work to that, you'll be referring to the boatmen of Pagsanjan Falls. Many of us think of Pagsanjan merely as the place ...

  • 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 ...
