    Chasing Peaks In Dalaguete: Scaling 5 Scenic Summits In 1 Day

    Dalaguete is, for me, a breath-snatching adventure wonderland hard-wired for the intrepid and wide-eyed hiking enthusiast. Famed for its chilly atmosphere, collection of towering peaks and heavenly scenery, this beloved town beckons travelers who are yearning for a healthy dose of fun and adventure. Whether you’re an avid shutterbug or a bona fide outdoor guru, you’ll definitely love the enthralling hiking experiences that Dalaguete has to offer. From my high school days in Don Bosco to my recent adventures with Team Bang, I’ve had the privilege of scaling the beautiful peaks in Dalaguete on numerous occasions.  And normally, I only hit a peak or two, whenever I set foot on…

    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. And with a looming 1-year anniversary, I thought it would be a fitting tribute to write something about Team Bang. Some say  that I’m the architect of Team Bang – the person who planned and built this…

    Eagle’s Cave: A Mystical Labyrinth Full Of Thrills And Spills

    Last year, I scratched out Dalaguete from my list of top local destinations in Cebu. With tons of Instagram junkies flaunting their OOTDs on the town’s well-known summit, I thought Dalaguete was becoming a little worn out and a cliché. Heck, even Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo followed the trend, by hitting O’peak (that’s how mainstream Dalaguete has become). But, recently, Dalaguete has won back my heart, sweeping me into bliss with its low-key, underrated sites. And one of the town’s underrated wonders that I just bumped into is the Eagle’s Cave in Barangay Obo. The Eagle’s Cave, or also referred as Dingayop Cave, was, hands down, the best surprise…

    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…
