    Holy Cross Compostela: The Most Awe-Inspiring Crucifix I’ve Seen In Cebu

    The first time I laid eyes on Holy Cross Tagaytay, I knew I was bound to get an up close look of it before the year ends. Even though the folks in Lataban didn’t know much about it, I had a positive and inexplicable feeling that I would soon have a close encounter with this eye-catching sight.  With its towering crucifix and perfect overlooking location, the photogenic landmark was simply hard for me to resist.

    It’s official – I’m madly and deeply in love with Barangay General Climaco. For the past couple of months, this remote barangay in Toledo city has been sweeping me off my feet with its eccentricities, unique beauty, mystical feel, and charms. And just when I thought I’ve seen the best of it, the place unveiled yet another natural wonder that took my breath away – Mount Tagaytay. Although I’ve seen a bunch of pictures of this photogenic mountain, it was in awe, when I saw Mount Tagaytay with my own eyes. Our visit to Mount Tagaytay was, for me, the ultimate way to end a day full of giggles, fun…

    Cancalanog And Cambais Falls: Chasing Waterfalls In Alegria

    Waterfalls, such as Alegria’s Cancalanog and Cambais Falls, are an absolute godsend for hikers and travelers like me. Whether it’s a hike up the mountains or a sightseeing trip in a quaint remote town, a plunge in a refreshing waterfall is, for me, the icing on the cake of every outdoor adventure.  Awe-inspiring and simply wondrous, waterfalls are also such a mesmerizing sight to behold and an impressive natural wonder that exudes a rather relaxing feel. Truthfully, I’m not much of a swimmer, but I simply can’t resist the sheer majesty and refreshing waters of these natural spectacles. And in our recent trip to Alegria, me and rest of Team…
