Now that the summer season fast approaching, here are just some tips that might be helpful when gallivanting to an exclusive island resort, or just staying in your grandmother’s hometown.
1. Wear sandals – One of the negative effects of the 9/11 tragedy is the tightened security in our airports. Passengers are now required to take off shoes before completing the final security check procedures. All footwear are required to be taken off, as well as belts. At least it would be be very easy for you to wear sandals again, rather than tying your shoes after the queue.
One of the major ports of the Philippines os the port of Cebu. The port which is located on the eastern seabord of the island. Major shipping lines call at this port. Cargo ships and Passenger vessels can often be found here. Among the Shipping Lines that call at the post of Cebu are Negros Navigation, Sulpicio Lines, WG&A Super Ferry, Ocean Jet, SuperCat, and a whole lot more.
Many of these cargo ships bring good from Cebu to Manila or to other provinces like Davao, Dapitan, or Bacolod. While passenger ferries provides traporation links from Cebu to Tagbilaran, Dumaguete, Siquijor, Leyte, and other nearby provinces.
Oh yeah! I never really expected this to happen. And I was even the last person to learn of this news. This blog, Byahilo, made it as Finalist for the Best Travel Blog Category of the Philippine Blog Awards 2007!
Even before the Sinulog Festival was formally organized, the people of Cebu has were already performing a unique ritual found only in Cebu. The ritual known as Sinulog. Sinulog is teaken from the Cebuano term sulog. Meaning, the rush of the river.
It has always been in our culture as Filipinos that traveling is always declared as a group activity. Most or shall I say, many of us would often go out of town together with friends or family members.
But, how many has actually traveled alone? I doubt if anyone will raise hands here.
I took this photo a few months back while I was in Clark Airbase, Pampanga Philippines. The photo shows the flower buds of a plant closely related to the Maguey family.
I can still recall that there are lots of Maguey plants in our grandfather’s backyard before. The plant usually dies after the flowering period. Its leaves are thick and has spikes in its sides.
The denizens of Metro Manila are now starting to feeling the scorching heat of the summer sun. Every now and then people are starting to complain about the unbearable heat, and the humid air.
The province of Negros Occidental will once again showcase its best products as well as its festivals and beauty queens when the 2007 Panaad sa Negros unfolds. Known as the Negrense’s Mother of all Festivals, Panaad is set to take centerstage on April 14-21, 2007.
