Puerto Prinsesa City is the coastal city in Northern Palawan located at the western part of Luzon Islands in the Philippines. Being the last great frontier in the islands of the Philippines, Palawan offers great island experience that local and foreign visitors will love. Puerto Prinsesa however, being the first-class urbanized province in the Philippines offers the balance of commercial and natural sightings. 

One of which is the Puerto Prinsesa Subterranean Underground River, hailed as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. The Underground Natural Park is a protected area in the Philippines located 80 kilometers (51 miles) at the northern part of Puerto Prinsesa City.

December 2010 when me and my parents visited the city of Puerto Prinsesa City. We also have some side trips on Elephant Cave and Iwahig Prison Camp.

Camiguin Island is a province lies along Bohol Sea in Northern Mindanao Islands in the Philippines. The province is famous for it's picturesque land and seascapes, and not to mention the sweet lanzones that are abundant in the island.

It was in August 2010 when we visited the Camiguin Islands. There are several ways to visit the island and we chose the way from the province of Cagayan de Oro city. A one hour plane ride from Manila to Laguindingan Airport, then shuttle to Agora Terminal. Then anothen van or bus all the way to the Balingoan Port to send you to Camiguin Port.

For more details on how to go to Camiguin, visit this website.

It's an exhausting one hour trek up to the top of the hill. Make sure to bring extra clothes and water when you visit the place.

The century-old tree is located at the back of the church. Four people can measure the width of the tree.

Camiguin is also known for their annual Lanzones Festival held in October. The month is also known as the harvest season of their priced export - lanzones.

Seven years ago (August 2010), we experienced an adrenalin-rush adventure in Cagayan de Oro. Being a highly-urbanized city in the southern-part of the Philippines, it's surprising to know that Cagayan de Oro offers such a great rafting adventure every local or foreign tourist will love.

We avail the service of Kagay White Water Rafting for this adventure. They made sure that our trip is safe. They provide helmets and do briefing before the actual rafting. 

For more information about their service, visit their website.

Safety first, briefing ongoing!

Almost 8 years ago (May 2010), we go North of Luzon to Alaminos and Bolinao, Pangasinan. Pangasinan is famous for it's 2 million-year old Hundred Islands which said to be numbered at 124 islands when low tide and 123 islands when high tide.

Bolinao has also plenty of caves and beaches to visit around the area. We really miss this place and should be updated in the near future. For the meantime, let's go back to May 2010 and revisit the province of Pangasinan. "Inaro ta ka" means "I love you" in Pangasinense, a local dialect in Pangasinan.
