Himontagon Hills: A Serene And Picture-perfect Local Secret In Loay, Bohol
The first time I laid eyes on Bohol, I simply couldn’t help falling in love with its dramatic beauty and bucolic charm.

But, eventually, the sight of the iconic Chocolate Hills, Panglao and its other famous spots became a bit of mundane to me. After all, I have explored all of Bohol’s quintessential tourist trails not just once, but on a number of occasions since childhood. And, so, I decided to dive into a less-explored path – Himontagon Hills – to add a breath of fresh air to my Bohol escapades.…

Ablayan Peak: An Enthralling And Windy Summit In Boljoon
Cebu, in spite of its rapid urbanization and burgeoning tourism, has plenty of surprises and hidden gems in store for the wide-eyed traveler. With a plethora of untouched islets and lush mountain ranges, there’s surely still a lot of beauty and charms to discover within the province. Lately, I, together with the sprightly Team Bang, have been scouring information to catch some of Cebu’s little-known treasures. And, one of our most recent discoveries is the windy and picturesque Ablayan Peak in Boljoon. Our first attempt at Ablayan Peak “Scenic”, “lush” and “breezy” – these were the words used by the lechon manok vendors in Boljoon, as they were describing…
