Ili Rock: Soaking Up The Awe-Inspiring Coastal Views In Boljoon
I’m absolute a sucker for high points with dramatic overlooking panoramas. Whether it’s on top of a summit or from an urban observation deck, I always look forward to enjoying jaw-dropping views from a bird’s perspective, whenever I hit the road. As a matter of fact, it is by far one of the reasons why I enjoy scaling steep mountains. And just recently, I bumped into another sweet overlooking spot in Cebu where I can find my bliss – Ili Rock, or also known as Ilihan in Boljoon. Although it’s a bit controversial, I and the rest of Team Bang just can’t resist the opportunity to see the lovely heritage…

Mount Lanaya: A Pleasant Hike That Helped Beat Energy Gap
Nothing ushers in the New Year and beats a holiday hangover better than a good old fashioned hike up the mountains. After a short hiatus from hiking and weeks of overindulgence, Team Bang is once again back on the track, with a hike to one of the mountains in our never-ending travel wish-list – Mount Lanaya in Alegria, Cebu. While it was a fairly easy climb (we took the easier trail, with time not on our side), it was still a great shock to our system and a fantastic way to start a year with a bang. Of course, it did also help “beat energy gap” by flushing out the…
