A good resort or a hotel becomes better if it has a fantastic chef, a culinary artist who has divine taste for food. He/she would definitely attract more tourists and food lovers alike. I say such because I believe it is part of every tourist agenda to experience local food during their travels. The more popular fast food joints becomes a mere fallback. We stayed at Amorita Resort during my visit to Bohol. It is considered one of the best resort-hotel in the province. We had the pleasure of meeting Chef Ralph “Paeng” Ongchico, who was currently assigned as head chef of the resort during...

I’ve been to a lot of festivals around the country. In January, there’s the Dinagyang Festival in Iloilo, the Ati-Atihan Festival in Kalibo and the Sinulog Festival in Cebu. Come February, there’s the Kalilangan Festival in General Santos and then the Moriones Festival in Marinduque during Holy Week. Of course there’s the Pahiyas Festival in Lucban and the Pintados Festival in Tacloban among others. Yes, I’ve been to a lot of festivals around the country. And I can honestly say that it’s in Bacolod, where I see the sweetest smiles. If you’re wondering why I...

I do agree on their tourism slogan — Fantastica Bohol. The place is so great that it met or perhaps surpassed my expectations. Everything was magnificent. Bohol houses, the finest beaches, a beautiful man-made forest, the majestic Chocolate Hills, and the tarsier, which is the smallest primates in the world, to name a few. There are many things Bohol is known for, not just the tarsier and the Chocolate Hills. Like this beautiful man-made forest. When you get there, you may want to visit the old baroque styled churches, taste the original broas (lady fingers) of Osangs, shop at Senen and Irma...

I’m very thankful to the organizers of S3X Tour (SOCCSKSARGEN Experience Tour 3) for another memorable experience. SOCCSKSARGEN stands for South Cotabato-Sultan Kudarat-Sarangani and General Santos and this is my third time there. This time, one of our destination is Maitum Municipality in Sarangani Province. I never knew anything about Sarangani aside from their finest diving spot and scenic places of the coastal roads of Sarangani Province. In Maitum, Saragani, there are lots of places to see and lots of food to experience. One of their most famous food is the fish above. Bangsi is very...

Been in several cities across the Philippines but Davao made something different among them. Yes, there are common progressions but what makes Davao City different among other cities of the Philippines? Davao right now has a very strict and disciplinarian mayor and I think that makes it different. I’ve talked to several people living in Davao and asked them what makes their city different from the others and they all say that Its all in the Mayor’s governance. They say that their mayor is a hard working guy. The Mayor sees to it that his rules are being followed, like for instance, a...
