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. Even if it’s a relatively unknown trail, hiking a mountain like Mount Kalbasaan simply completes my week as a young adult. Not only do mountains give me a healthy dose of Vitamin D and adventure, but it also unleashes my inner shutterbug, thanks to its mesmerizing bird’s eye views and panoramas. What’s more, it’s, to me, a much cheaper pastime, as compared to a movie date with a bunch of your beshies at a nearby mall. And, that’s why I just can’t stop thinking of hiking mountains. Even though I just…

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).

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…

Bagacay Point Lighthouse: Savoring The Scenery Of Liloan’s Parola
Bagacay Point Lighthouse was truly one of the most beautiful revelations to Team Bang’s Sunday adventure in Liloan, Cebu. With its fresh sea breeze and rustic feel, Bagacay Point Lighthouse gave us a refreshing culmination, following a sweltering hike in Lataban Hills. Praised for its romantic scenery, Liloan’s Parola was the best spot to unleash our inner shutterbugs as well. And yes, although we love energy-draining hikes and fun-filled adventures, we in general are also frustrated photographers. As I was strolling around the venue, I later on realized that there’s more to Bagacay Point Lighthouse than just a chill-out spot and a place for prenuptial shoots. As a matter of…
For anyone who’s felt a little lost or tired.
