It’s been 3 months since the municipal government of Santander informed me that I won second place in the Sugbusog Vegetable Gardening Contest – Container Gardening Category. I’ve been so busy the past few months that I haven’t had the time to sit down and actually write my experience. If I’m being honest, I don’t really know what to write. …
One of the main reasons why I love Cebu is its abundance of attractions. Whether you’re interested in mountains, white sand beaches, waterfalls, or forest reserves, you will find everything here. And the best thing about it is that these places are just an hour or two from the city. Two of the most popular destinations in Cebu are Osmeña …
Every big name in the music industry started out in the local scene. Over the years of following artists from the Visayas and Mindanao, I have come to realize that the local scene is the best place to look for new and exceptional music.

I rarely go to events but when I do, I always make sure to have fun. And boy did I when I joined the first-ever Cebu Pacific Travel Leaders’ Night! We have Cebu Pacific Air to thank for hosting the event in Cebu where they trace their roots from. It was held in Balay sa Busay – a fancy restaurant …
This is my winning entry for Gabii sa Kabilin 2018 Blogging Contest. This year’s theme for Gabii sa Kabilin, Balangay, sparked a specific childhood memory for me.

I grew up with a good set of parents who did their best to raise me well. Although there were a lot of times when we had problems with money or the lack thereof, …
A few months ago, I was invited to visit Tanzania for an International Women’s Day Climb to Mt. Kilimanjaro. It broke my heart because (a) I couldn’t afford the plane tickets to Africa (b) I am saving up for another trip. Meeting different women climbers from all parts of the world would have been a memorable experience. But, there was …
I have not discovered the perfect formula in getting to know people. But years of traveling taught me this one important thing; go camping with them. Somewhere off the grid – away from Internet connectivity, where you don’t have a choice but actually talk to each other and do something else. Pair it with a few bottles of alcohol, and boom! …
Whether you create content for a living or does it as a hobby alone, learning new things is always fun. The good news is; Cebu Content Creators and GBG Cebu in partnership with Robinsons Fuente are holding a big event called the Cebu Creators Day!

Now before you throw rocks at me, let me explain. *winks If there’s one fact that a lot of people don’t know about me, it’s that I am not exactly a fan of photo walks. I like walking, and I like taking photos, but a photo walk, on the other hand, is a different story. If you don’t know what …
