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

Chocolate Hills of Bohol
There’s always something that one associates with a more famous place. Take Bohol, for instance. What immediately comes to mind when you’re asked to name something that reminds you of Bohol? Tarsier. Blood compact. Loboc River or Loboc children’s choir, perhaps. I bet you’d remember, on top of the list, the Chocolate Hills. Continue reading Chocolate Hills of Bohol
VisitPinas Top 5 Reasons to Travel and Visit the Philippines
There’s a reason for everything. While some things cannot be explained, and the continued belief of which we characterize as faith, we human beings constantly search for explanations. Not that somebody asked us; we’re just trying to validate and check if you see it the same way. These are the Top Five Reasons why we love to travel in and around the Philippines (probably the same reasons why you’d want to visit the Philippines).

Baguio Trip: Travel Log and Tourist Spots
If you’re given an opportunity to visit Baguio City in the month of December, would you take it? Chilly wind, cold temperature, pine trees, nice view. I bet you would, the same thing with the hundreds of thousands of tourists who visited Baguio City in December 2008. We’re included in that thousands.

Breathtaking Nature at Manila Ocean Park
The Manila Ocean Park is a seaworld, where kids and adults are treated with the sights of different marine animals (think of Ark Avilon Zoo, but all sea creatures). When you hear “seaworld,” you think of Seaworld in Orlando, Ocean Park in Hongkong and, in the Philippines, Ocean Adventure in Subic. Unlike those destinations, however, Manila Ocean Park is located in the heart of Metro Manila, so it should be easily accessible (rates are P400 for adults and P350 for kids). And unlike those destinations, the Manila Ocean Park has no shows like the whale and sea lion shows (although these shows may come later, as the Manila Ocean Park is still unfinished). There’s something, however, that makes up for that. [See also Trails to Antarctica, Penguin Exhibit and Snow Village, Manila Ocean Park] Continue reading Breathtaking Nature at Manila Ocean Park
Eastern Visayas (Region 8)
We’ve previously mentioned that the Philippines is broken down into regions, one of which is Eastern Visayas (Region 8). Eastern Visayas is composed of 6 provinces — Biliran, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Samar, Northern Samar and Eastern Samar. Here’s a video promoting tourism in Eastern Visayas. Continue reading Eastern Visayas (Region 8)
Visit Pinas: Visit the Philippines
We could very well post travel logs in our own sites. Still, with a sense of community, promoting travel to and in our country is much easier and more meaningful. This is where we join our fellow Filipinos in exploring the Philippines - its beauty should be enjoyed by Filipinos. This is also a site where we invite non-Filipinos to visit the Philippines. If you love to travel (or would want to write something about why everyone should visit a place, see or do something, somewhere in the Philippines), then you’re most welcome in this collaborative site. Please feel free to share your Philippine travel logs and invite others to join the group, and, of course, visit the Philippines. Continue reading Visit Pinas: Visit the Philippines
