Team Bang: A Diversely Beautiful Accidental Bunch Of Lifeaholics
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would be a part of a group of adventurists – Team Bang. Even though I’m a bona fide introvert, it’s been, thus far, a thrilling ride, hitting the road with a bunch of like-minded people. Together with my clique, I’ve uncovered some of the most mesmerizing unheralded sights in the province, diving into the unknown and unexplored from North to South.

Pescador Island and Sardines Run: Cebu’s Underwater Spectacles
Team Bang, since its inception, has been setting its sights on Pescador Island and the dazzling sardines run. With its vibrant underwater world and gorgeous waters, Moalboal’s treasures have been, for months, luring us and teasing our wanderlust. And thankfully after almost a year of dreaming and yearning, we’ve finally experienced this underwater escapade in our recent round South trip in Cebu. To make things even better, we took a dip into a refreshing and ice-cold cascade in Ginatilan – Inambakan Falls. Truth be told, I wasn’t as psyched as everyone else in Team Bang, leading to our island hopping tour to Pescador Island. Don’t get me wrong – I…
