Beauty of Masbate City

Gateway of Masbate

For most of us we don't want to spend more time travelling , and instead be on our destination the soonest possible way. There had been instances that we often blame others, or even ourselves, why we missed a trip or a flight. We couldn't afford to lose time and stand for the next couple of hours waiting for the next trip.

I had the same experience when I was on my way back to Cebu from Legaspi City, Albay last May. Since I already missed the Legaspi-Cebu flight, my next viable option is the Roro (roll on-roll off) trip in which I have to take a ferry trip to Masbate City and then another sea trip for Cebu. The trip went fine; until I, along with other would-be passengers, were informed that the boat bound for Cebu was already fully-booked. Plan C was to take a bus trip from Masbate to Cebu.

Mayon Volcano, the beautiful lady of Philippines

I had my first encounter with the world-renowned Mayon Volcano eight years ago while I was on a trip to visit a friend (now my wife) in Legazpi City, Albay. I think it had been almost a 12-hour busy trip from Pasay City to my destination. I was almost on the brink of wanting to go back and never do that trip again. If I only knew that there's a one-hour flight from Manila to Legazpi City I would have taken that option.

I was asleep most of the time during the trip and was glad that I was already in Naga when I woke up. I took another nap (bus trips can be so tiring, I know) and look out at the window. I couldn't help but be mesmerized by the beauty and magnifience of what I saw: standing more than 8,000 ft tall with a perfectly-formed cone volcano. For the rest of the trip I found myself awake and staring at the volcano, to the point that the passenger sitting beside me asked if it was my first time to be in Albay. What he didn't know is that it is the first time that I saw a volcano.

A great place to spend your summer in Cebu

Brace yourselves! Summer is coming.

Unlike George R.R. Martin’s Winterfell, Cebu is completely different. The fine climate with the right heat from basking sun, Cebu offers beautiful places and vacation spots to spend this summer season.

One of the premier, if not the foremost, beaches found in Cebu is Portofino Beach Resort. It is located in Mactan Island, Lapu-lapu City, and 30 minutes away from the Cebu Internation Airport. The resort offers white sand beaches with crystal clear water and water sport activities such as diving,
