I am not a pro in photography, my
memory is not enough for the wide history, and I don’t have money to travel around the
world. But, I will do everything to learn and to be one of the best travel
bloggers in the world. I learned a lot when I was still
developing TravellingCup, my very first travel blog published on the web. This
knowledge will be used for developing Sirang Lente to provide to the readers
everything about travel, as a relaxation. I will not stop learning, because I
do believe that learning is constant.

I
have three main contents in this blog; first would be – the Gorgeous spots. The Philippines is
composed of 7, 107 islands and each island has its unique beauty that I can be
proud of. It is an archipelago, meaning it is divided and surrounded by water
and gorgeous coastal areas. These coastal areas are the primary sources for the
livelihood of the Filipinos. From a simple fishing areas, some were already
converted to a private resorts and businesses. But still, majority of these gorgeous
spots are still hidden and needs to be discovered – and that's my vision – to
discover new places.

Second
– the Mountains. Since the
Philippines is a tropical country, a lot of floras and faunas can be found and
endemic here. Most of them are in the forest areas of Luzon, Visayas and
Mindanao. Majority of these richness are on the higher altitude; rain forests,
mountains, and ranges. I do hiking because I want to be one of those fortunate
people who sees and discovers the beauty in the middle of the wooded areas.

The
History –
I have read a lot of books and articles online about the history of the
Philippines, most of them started in 1521, the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan in
Visayas. Although, historians are working hard to dig on the ground, caves and
other places just to gather evidences about the previous civilization on the
archipelago. Regardless of religion and culture; ruins, old structures, and
artifacts spread on some islands of the country – a proof that The Philippines
has a rich civilization in the past. This generation, I traveled and will be
traveling to historical and heritage sites across the country to see and touch
the remembrance of the past civilization.
