Cebu Vacation 2022 | Recap
Hello Creatives! Just want to document my last vacation to Cebu this October 2022. Below will be my schedule and a few photos. Will be linking related blogposts too. This vacation is from 29th-Sept to 29-October 2022. The main reason for this holiday is to surprise my mom for her 60th Birthday and indeed it was successful! :) Thanks to my brother and sis-in-law for keeping it till the day/night I arrived! To ensure safety, because we all know that even though restrictions have eased by, I still chose to stay in a hotel for 2-3 days. Here’s my day 1 vlog: Day 2 – Government Items – Making sure…

On Honesty & Dishonesty (Transpo Edition)
This is a long overdue blog post. I’ve intended to publish this while I was still in Cebu. It’s actually a short sharing on #Honesty & #Dishonesty in these five (5) types of transportation in the Philippines. TAXI – LTFRB set a new calibration scheme for taxis in Cebu. That is a 40 PHP flag down, an additional 13.50 PHP for every kilometer and 2 PHP running for every two (2) minutes waiting in a traffic. This set up though is only applicable if the taxi franchise has calibrated the new meter and has installed the new requirements before using this fare format. As I sat on the taxi…

Cebu – Temple of Leah (2018)
Temple of Leah has started making the buzz all over Cebu and nearby cities as it captures the heart of many Cebuanos & Filipinos. This temple isn’t a place of worship. Instead it is an expression of love from a husband Teodirico Adarna to his late wife Leah Albino Adarna. Also dubbed as Cebu’s version of Taj Mahal. Right after our unplanned trip to Sirao Flower Farm, we headed to this temple which is a 20-25 minutes drive by motorcycle (habal-habal). 75/- Pesos is the fare per person, one way. Entrance Fee @ 50/- pesos per person (as of Feb 2018) What can you do/see? Basically the temple is open,…

Cebu – City of Naga Boardwalk
City of NAGA, Cebu. My annual vacation corresponds to annual get together. Although I haven’t schedule for all this year, my bonding session with my cousins Clea (IG: @polarisceinture) and ChinChin (IG: @grecienechin2) is a must. This year we decided to visit Naga City Cebu Boardwalk. Each city or town nowadays, tries to develop beautiful attractions in their locality to attract tourist. This is Naga City’s approach to it. This shoreline boardwalk costs around 62M running 195 meter in length. A beautiful spot to bond with family, friends and special someone. In fact, this visit is also my friend Dion’s Pre-valentine episode on hi YouTube account walakokasabotpasabtako; where we interviewed…
