Campo 7 Man-Made Forest: A Mysterious Eye-opening Experience In Cebu
For decades, science has taken huge leaps and breakthroughs to debunk the most contagious falsehoods. From the ethereal Northern lights to urban legends, modern science has been quite a myth buster, unveiling the truths of several strange phenomena and common misconceptions. Yet, somehow, there are still some strange forces and things like the spirits that defy logic as well as the principles of science. And in my recent weekend escape with Team Bang, I had a not-so close encounter with the strange dili ingun nato (spiritual beings), as we explored Campo 7 man-made forest, Minglanilla, Cebu. I’m not much of a believer, when it comes to superstitions. I’m a man…

Bagacay Point Lighthouse: Savoring The Scenery Of Liloan’s Parola
Bagacay Point Lighthouse was truly one of the most beautiful revelations to Team Bang’s Sunday adventure in Liloan, Cebu. With its fresh sea breeze and rustic feel, Bagacay Point Lighthouse gave us a refreshing culmination, following a sweltering hike in Lataban Hills. Praised for its romantic scenery, Liloan’s Parola was the best spot to unleash our inner shutterbugs as well. And yes, although we love energy-draining hikes and fun-filled adventures, we in general are also frustrated photographers. As I was strolling around the venue, I later on realized that there’s more to Bagacay Point Lighthouse than just a chill-out spot and a place for prenuptial shoots. As a matter of…
