Malubog Lake And Malubog Falls: Exploring Toledo’s Wondrous Treasures
From the gleaming 10,000 Roses in Cordova to TIEZA Botanical Garden, there have been quite a few scenic Instgrammable spots in Cebu that have been making the rounds on social media as of late. With their picturesque scenery and incredible floral displays, these spots have mesmerized and captured the hearts of almost everyone in Cebu. And while these spots are fairly popular and picturesque, I somehow have little interest in visiting and seeing them in person. Nowadays, I’ve been more inclined to see unsung spots like Malubog Lake and Malubog Falls than Cebu’s buzzing crowd magnets.

Biga Pit: A Visit To Lutopan’s Controversial And Gorgeous Man-made Lake
A tour around the mesmerizing Capilla Santa Ana Museum was a great way to cap off a year full of life, colors and adventures. From elaborate Renaissance carvings to a lush and eye-catching maze garden, Capilla Santa Ana indeed gave us a plethora of striking sights and snaps. But, we didn’t travel all the way to the city of Toledo, just to take a short visit around this sweet treasure trove. Just like any of Team Bang’s escapades, we did have a side trip in mind to wrap up our Toledo city adventure. And this time, it was the sprawling and wonderfully weird Biga Pit in Lutopan. Our quick Biga…
