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.

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,…
