Pinagrealan Cave

Isa nanamang makasay-sayang lugar sa probinsya ng Bulacan ang aking naabot - ito ay ang Pinagrealan Cave na kung saan nagsilbing bahay, taguan at ospital ng mga Katipuneros noong panahon ng pananakop ng mga Espanyol. Sadyang nakakalungkot lang isipin na maraming parte ng kweba ang nasira na dahil sa kawalan ng edukasyon kung anu ang dapat gawin kapag nasa loob ng kweba. More photos and information here: Pinagrealan Cave.

Oldest Church in the Philippines

Maraming nagtatanong, bakit puro simbahang katoliko ang nakapublish sa travel blog ko. Sagot ko naman, bilang isang taong nahihilig sa kasaysayan ng bansa, kasama ang ang simbahan dito. Tanging mga simbahan lamang ang mga lugar na hindi masyadong nawasak dahil sa giyera. Nagsilbi itong mga ospital at taguan ng mga Pilipino noong unang panahon. Para hindi na nga akong nagdidiscus, please click here for more photos: Old Churches in the Philippines

Walking Along the Streets of Cebu City

February 21-22, 2013 was my first Solo-Backpacking in Visayas.  It was a great experience because everything was my first time.  From the plane ride to Cebu City as my destination. 

I did this Solo-Backpacking in this amazing city because I want to learn small things that I should know as backpacker.  Among other provinces, Cebu City is one of the places that is very friendly for Solo-Backpacker.  Since it was my first time, last year, when I got my 1-peso air fare in an Airline company, I already bought a map of this city.  I know I was too much excited for it, but I want to be 120% prepared - that's how I always do Solo-Backpacking.

My map was really helpful in every move that I did especially when the plane arrived in Mactan-Cebu International Airport.  After getting off the plane and I was waiting for the airport taxi, I was speaking to an airport maintenance.  He gave me an introduction about the history of the airport taxi and how many taxes are their in Cebu.  This kind guy gave me tips on how does the jeepney's of Cebu are categorized based on their routes. 

My first stop in the City of Cebu was  to take my breakfast in the commercial fast food along Colon Street.  Inside the fast food, all were speaking in their own language, although I can understand them, but NO Tagalog at all.  When I ordered my food, I noticed that the cashier's voice was really calm speaking in tagalog.  The accent was really cute and she sounded very courteous and polite.

While eating my breakfast, I was still starring on the map.  I asked one of the crew about a certain location, and he helped me a lot!  Before leaving the fast food, the guard said: "Thank you ma'am/sir"  Question: How did the guard got the idea that I was a combination of a Ma'am and Sir?  Anyways, to continue reading, click this link: My Travel Guide

The Historical Sites of Cebu

My 3rd Solo-Backpacking within 24 - Hours

February is the busiest start for my 2013, the whole month, I only spent two of my rest days in my apartment and a lot of it were spent in different places, that's how busy I am this month.  Take note, I am an ordinary human being, so my wallet, pen and spreadsheet were also busy for my budget.

Going to the Historical sites across the country is absolutely part of my blog.  I truly love those places that were properly preserved for the future generations.  I dedicate this post to every agencies that play a great role in preserving those historical artifacts.  I want to help them in promoting the historical wealth to the newest generations.  Many travelers want to promote the gorgeous and untouched places, but here in my blog, everything is important. 

I came to an idea of visiting the historical places of Cebu because I was inspired by the Magellan's Cross being published in a travel magazine in the book store.  So, aside from Magellan's Cross, I tried to search some other sites in the Province that gave a huge impact in the history of Cebu and even the country.

I book this flight on November 2012 and I based it on my rest days, but unfortunately, our schedule was changed and everything was also changed based on my plans.  This is the great thing in Solo-Backpacking, I can adjust everything easily, so Feb. 14, 2013, just a week before this trip, I filed an unpaid leave just for this trip.  Good thing that we had more hours available this time, so my leave was easily approved.  That's one of the challenges in working in a call center  while traveling.

February 21, 2013 - I woke up at around 1:15AM for my general preparation for my travel to Cebu.  There were some feeling which I can't explain that time, maybe because of the excitement.  As usual after my preparation, I took my simple breakfast (coffee and bread) then cleaned and dressed myself well.  Read more by clicking this link: My Travel Guide
