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…

Mount Tagaytay: A Picture-Perfect Peak With Awe-Inspiring Panoramas

New Bucao: A Gritty, Muddy Uphill Climb To Toledo’s Unsung Mountain
My first visit to Barangay General Climaco was an exciting adventure packed with enthralling sights and colors. From the moment we set foot on its grounds to our thrilling top-load jeepney ride, every moment of Team Bang’s quick weekend adventure in this playground was a blast. And with all the treats and surprises we got on our trip, going back to this extraordinary barangay was a no-brainer for us. So, once again, we packed our bags to venture into Casoy. This time, we explored three unsung and relatively unknown places in this part of Toledo, Cebu – Manutu River, Mount New Bucao and Mount Tagaytay. Unlike our first visit, though,…

Bocaue Peak: A Surprisingly Fun Unplanned Hike From Quiot, Pardo
Most people nowadays don’t like to be lost. As much as I hate to admit it, getting lost does, after all, make us feel helpless and vulnerable as well as leave us a ton of challenges. But, getting lost can also be an exciting character-building adventure. As most wise men say, “great things never came from comfort zones”. And that was just one of the few captions, lessons and travel quotes that best describes our trek to Bocaue Peak in Cebu City. Even though we got literally lost in midst of Cebu city’s highlands, we still managed to discover this peak, and experienced one of Team Bang’s best hikes in…
