Laguna Trilogy Mt Kalisungan Mt Atimla And Mt Prinza
What started out as a simple invite to climb a minor mountain in Laguna turned out to be one of the most memorable climbs in my book. How does one go from just being curious about Mt. Kalisungan to hiking it plus two other mountains? This is the story of the Laguna trilogy I did with my U-trek friends.
PRELUDE
I recently invited my legit mountaineer friend for a hike in her province. It’s a long time coming, but I’ve always wanted to finish Mt. Kalisungan as it is a dayhikeable mountain near manila. But she found that Kalisungan was too easy for her, she looked around for a challenge ... -
Day-Touring Bohol Chocolate Hills Tarsier Loboc And More
I had 3 flights to Bohol that all got cancelled for various reasons – budget, leave not approved, and that earthquake. Finally in between the Christmas and New Year holidays of 2015, I hopped on a plane by myself and headed to Tagbilaran. But actually, Mary was already waiting for me there since she spent Christmas with her family in Bohol.
It was only for the weekend as work decided not to free me up for the tax season (a trainer has perks and responsibilities, you know). So we had to stay one night in Panglao, and another in Tagbilaran itself to meet her mother.
The resort we found ( ... -
Python Rescue And Mt Isarog Exploration On Born To Be Wild
In a rescue facility in Cebu, Doc Ferds comes to the aid of a python that has a respiratory illness. Its caretakers say that the snake is often seen coughing. After treating the python, Doc Ferds comes across another snake that has recently laid eggs. But the mother snake has become emaciated and it is feared that only a small percentage of her eggs will survive.
Meanwhile, Doc Nielsen and his team explore the rich biodiversity of Mt. Isarog. Experts call this mountain a herpetological wonder and the team sees different species of snakes including a venomous Philippine pit viper. On th ... -
Visiting Baluarte
Visiting Baluarte is the only part of the Ilocos tour that allows you to enjoy the animals up close and personal. It's definitely a must in the itinerary.
Entrance is free. Of course there are add-ons if you want to have fun with their rides, touch the tiger, or kiss the seal. But that's perfectly okay.
You can go around the place by walking or you can take the shuttle.
I love it here especially because there are animals that can roam freely. Like the ostrich and deer.
There are also caged animals to make sure the guests are safe.
They have live animal shows too, a petting zoo, ... -
Serene Birding At Twin Lakes
We were off to Negros! I had some time off from school and was happy to be able to join Adri facilitate a birding workshop sponsored by the Department of Tourism and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
The workshop venue was ideally situated at the Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Natural Park in Sibulan, Negros Oriental. The participants were members of the local community, many already familiar with birds, birding and birdwatchers. It was a great group: knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun. The workshop was right at the doorstep of Lake Balinsasayao, a protected area which is a w ... -
Palawan Is Love
It's my personal paradise... birding, beaches and the great outdoors! I was so excited that Adri and I finally got to fit a return trip to Puerto Princesa for a 5 day weekend at the end of November for an early wedding anniversary trip.
Unfortunately, a cancelled flight made us lose an evening and a morning, but our optimism overtook our disappointment and soon we were in Puerto Princesa, ready to bird! I love Puerto Princesa!
We picked up our rental car, picked up some supplies at the NCCC, found our way to our downtown inn, had our lunch, took a nap and... off we were! Our agenda for ...
