The Bangui Windmills of Your Mind
The towering windmills in Bangui town in Ilocos Norte is more than just a tourist attraction. These windmills actually shoulders 40% of the town’s electricity. Sadly, this is one attraction that I have yet to view with my own eyes having only seen them through pictures. These majestic structures front the seashore on the road [...]

8. March 2011
Palawan is an unspoiled paradise located on the Philippines’ western border. Also known as the Philippines’ final frontier, Palawan is the country’s ecotourism capital and as such, is visited by millions of tourists, both foreign and domestic, year after year. Bestowed by nature with white sand beaches, virgin forests, coves, and improved on by the [...]

28. November 2010
Welcome to Rali’s Grill and Bar, home of the best REAL burger in town. So says the sign in this roadside restaurant. I’m having my second breakfast here in Subic. The first breakfast occured 2 hours earlier along the NLEX. Don’t get me started. I wasn’t exactly here to take them (Rali’s) to task on [...]

19. August 2010
Intramuros is one of the historical sites in Metro Manila that continue to attract tourists. It’s most notorious claim to fame is that it was the last hang out of Dr. Jose Rizal, Philippine’s National Hero, before he was fed hot lead by the Spanish conquistadores just outside of Intramuros’ walls. Unbeknownst to most non-history [...]

15. August 2010
Inland fishing is one of the more available pursuits when you’re in Manila. The absence of readily accessible fishing spots in the Metro is one of the reasons why those who love to fish, go for pond fishing or inland fishing. Pond fishing is not just limited to the small square of brackish water that [...]

9. June 2010
Growing up in a small coastal town in the Philippines, I spent my early childhood years cutting classes to bathe in rivers. The weekends were spent with an early morning swim in the sea. I didn’t have any idea that there were white sand beaches then. Our beaches in our part of Northern Mindanao were anything but white, but it didn’t make a difference to a young kid like me. All I knew was how much fun I had floating on the water, and baking under the sun. I didn’t even have to put on any sunblock or sunscreen. Sunburn was something that came naturally if I overdid swimming so I always knew when to stop.

9. December 2009
I didn’t expect my return to Anawangin, Zambales to be in such a terrible state. My head was like a pimple that’s about to burst, I was awake for more than 30 hours, and I was drunk like a proper alcoholic; having been drinking for 6 hours straight. Ok, perhaps there was more talk than [...]

22. May 2009
It is El Nido without the pain in the ass. Literally. None of those 8 hour rides over crappy roads or wasted time waiting for the same road to be passable (totally worth it though). I was in Caramoan for a total of 24 hours but within that period of time, I’ve already experienced a [...]

30. April 2009
I finally have enough time to do a more decent report on my Baler trip. The last post I had about this place was so hurried and using the awful Globe Tattoo connection that there’s pretty much little I could say. Anyway, here it goes; Baler is not something that you travel 6 hours for [...]

25. April 2009
Lady luck certainly smiled upon me today. I was worried all week long that my trip to Baler, Aurora in Quezon Province would be welcomed by showers of rain. Manila has been a wet place the entire week and I was concerned that such condition would extend over the weekend. Fortunately, it did not. [ad#336] [...]
