Boljoon Adventure: Hiking With A Wonderfully Weird Twist
With a never-ending list of places to visit, most of today’s backpackers or travelers don’t like to repeat a destination. Once they hit one of the places on their “bucket list”, they set their sights on another destination, and never look back. And I totally get it, even if that means missing out on local secrets and quaint towns like Boljoon, Cebu. Whether it is setting foot on all the 81 provinces in the Philippines or visiting a ton of foreign countries, it’s, after all, nice to have something that can give you the drive to travel. I, on the other hand, don’t have any goals, when it comes to…

Mount Kalbasaan: Hiking A Scenic Yet Overlooked Trail In Cebu
For outdoor enthusiasts like me, there’s no better way to spend a weekend than to hike a picturesque mountain.

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.

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…
