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.

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,…

OEC 2.0 (2016 Version)
So, last year I have created a blog post entitled Exit-OEC.

Underground River – Palawan
Palawan has been a familiar name to me ever since I was in high school. A cousin of mine married someone from the place so they settled in this place known as the cleanest city in the Philippines, Puerto Princesa Palawan. See the #ByaheNgKokobears Palawan Adventure overview here. I have been curious about the world renowned Underground River and just last year (2015) December I had my personal experience of this enchanting place! Let me start by saying at first I thought we were unlucky to be in Palawan during these final days of the year wherein the last sets of typhoons are also scheduled to hit the places…
