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,…

Tagaytay Hill In Toledo: One of Cebu’s Most Stunning Hidden Gems
Need a break from the non-stop whirlwind and frenzy in Cebu city? I suggest that you pay a visit to Tagaytay Hill, or also known as Old Bucao, in Barangay General Climaco, Toledo City, Cebu. As far as I’m concerned, Tagaytay Hill is a mesmerizing spot and truly one of Cebu’s best kept secrets. Sure, it’s not as trendy and popular as O’Peak or Mount Naupa, but it is for me a must-see site for every travel junkie in Cebu.

Malubog Lake And Malubog Falls: Exploring Toledo’s Wondrous Treasures
From the gleaming 10,000 Roses in Cordova to TIEZA Botanical Garden, there have been quite a few scenic Instgrammable spots in Cebu that have been making the rounds on social media as of late. With their picturesque scenery and incredible floral displays, these spots have mesmerized and captured the hearts of almost everyone in Cebu. And while these spots are fairly popular and picturesque, I somehow have little interest in visiting and seeing them in person. Nowadays, I’ve been more inclined to see unsung spots like Malubog Lake and Malubog Falls than Cebu’s buzzing crowd magnets. Don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying that these sought-after places are not…

Biga Pit: A Visit To Lutopan’s Controversial And Gorgeous Man-made Lake
A tour around the mesmerizing Capilla Santa Ana Museum was a great way to cap off a year full of life, colors and adventures. From elaborate Renaissance carvings to a lush and eye-catching maze garden, Capilla Santa Ana indeed gave us a plethora of striking sights and snaps. But, we didn’t travel all the way to the city of Toledo, just to take a short visit around this sweet treasure trove. Just like any of Team Bang’s escapades, we did have a side trip in mind to wrap up our Toledo city adventure. And this time, it was the sprawling and wonderfully weird Biga Pit in Lutopan. Our quick Biga…
