Love The Philippines 2023: Camiguin & Cagayan De Oro




Breaking news! The iconic slogan 'It’s More Fun in the Philippines' has been replaced by 'Love the Philippines!'

In fact, the Department of Tourism introduced this new campaign over two years ago. What do you think about it? Personally, I still prefer the old slogan, it sounds better, hits you emotionally, and feels more personal. Now the question is, do you love the Philippines? Are you in love with it, or just loving it?
As for me, I honestly love my country, its beautiful islands and its warm, kind-hearted people, especially the Visayans.

Riding a ferry to Camiguin


But I can’t ignore the dark side: the widespread corruption, conscience-less politicians, and failed flood control projects. That part, I truly hate. That’s why I encourage fellow taxpayers and the younger generation, the young blood, to keep speaking up about what’s wrong in the system, and to stand up for what we know is right. I hope it's never too late.

From a refreshing swim to a hearty lunch.



Getting to know more about this natural attraction.




This soda water pool is super interesting and great for your health — might as well take a dip while you’re here!



This seaside cafe has a vintage, rustic vibe with beautiful driftwood accents.






Heading by boat to the highlight of our stay in Camiguin.



Among the best places I've traveled to, it's stunningly natural and gorgeous.



Welcome to White Island, Camiguin!



Katibawasan Falls is truly breathtaking — a flawless, straight-line waterfall surrounded by lush greenery.





In Camiguin, beauty never ends — Mantigue Island welcomes you with its powdery white sands and serene vibe.

Museo San Agustin Intramuros: Tale Of The Oldest Stone Church In The Philippines

It's not fool to say that April month is on its way! Aren't you excited? One more week to go and we need to turn another calendar page. What are you looking forward to? Yey! The long wait is almost over and I can feel the summer here in the Philippines. Without a doubt, one of the things you have on your list this April is "grand vacation". For students, definitely a much longer hours of sleep since officially most are already on school break this time. For catholics, let's not forget that Holy Week falls on April this year. Are you ready for the Visita Iglesia(church visit)? Well, you're maybe still on the process of searching for your seven churches and if I'm correct you might wanna consider  San Agustin Church especially if your route is just within Manila City. Aside from Casa Manila, this is also a must-see place in the Walled City, Intramuros . It was last year when I visited this church for the holy week also and that was the only time I had a ch...

First Time Abroad: Visit Truly Asia Malaysia 2020 - Kota Kinabalu - Sabah

Hello, Super Folks ! Welcome back to my blog! How are you today? Well, whether you tell it or not, I know, most of us are not okay. Many are anxious, lonely and depressed. I'd like to say, if you don't feel fine, that's normal and valid. It's also understandable. Because of this COVID-19 pandemic, many are now getting emotional and struggling to stay sane. Without a doubt, the world has mental health crisis too and it's extremely concerning. We must address it and we also need to flatten this "other" curve. Praying like sharing to God your worries, reading new book, learning new language, avoiding toxic news on social media, learning how to plant, painting and doing yoga. These are only few examples that we can do daily or frequently to feel better. In addition, to somehow escape from the prison of negative or overthinking. Remember this, " whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, wh...
