One of the most prominent mountains in Luzon is Mt. Tabayoc because it is the second-highest mountain in Luzon (2842 MASL) and is one of the most preserved virgin forests in the Philippines, with a rich biodiversity of flora and fauna. Your hiking experience will definitely be rewarded with the breathtaking beauty of the sea of clouds, an artistic view of the surrounding terraces, cool weather, a relaxing green ambience, and a life-changing tranquillity by the lake. Also, there are a lot of mouth-watering, low-cost, and fresh-harvest vegetables in the area.

Mt. Tenglawan (Hiking Guide and Itinerary)

Among the Bakun Trio mountains, Mt. Tenglawan is the most difficult to hike because of its long terrain and an assault, although its trail class and technicalities can be placed at a moderate level. This mountain might be a challenge for some hikers, yet it has an amazing shape from afar. Not only that, the trails are covered with luscious green, colorful ornamental plants, trees, and, more importantly, the birds were singing like they were part of a musical orchestra. 

Ilagan Japanese Tunnel

This is a war tunnel used by the Japanese government and military officials as a defense, prison, garrison, and headquarters. It's a man-made tunnel created by the locals through forced labor. This tunnel is one of the tourist destinations situated in Ilagan City, Isabela. Aside from the historical tunnel, the Giant Butaka is an attraction that welcomes everyone who passes by the highway.

Apayao's Gem called Lussok Crystal Cave

Lussok Cave is one of the prides of Apayao and the Cordillera region. This cave is composed of four chambers, with artistic limestone formations. Not only that, it offers a remarkable caving experience because of the spectacular sceneries that can only be seen in the small caverns. Also, did you know that the countless bats residing inside produces the most expensive fertilizer called "guano?" With our Lussok cave experience, I learned that motto: "kapag ang pumatak sayo malamig, that's Holy water, but if it's warm, that's holy sh_t."

National Museum of the Filipino People

I have been dreaming of visiting the Philippine National Museum since high school, but in 2015, that dream came into reality as they offered free admission for the whole month of October. I spent the whole day inside these historical buildings, from the Marikina Shoe Museum to the Museum of the Filipino People building.

The stunning interior of San Sebastian Church, Manila

After meeting up at TIP Manila for my cap distributed by Street Style Originals, I planned to visit Paco Cemetery, but due to unfriendly weather conditions, I chose to visit San Sebastian Church in Manila, just a few meters away. For the second time, when I entered the church, I was still fascinated by its uniqueness; from the walls, columns, floor, glass chandeliers, cabinets, and others parts look really stunning.

Sumptuous Lunch at Balaw-Balaw Restaurant

It is one of the must-visit or best restaurants to dine at if you are looking for exotic foods. I am not into cooking, but I love eating, so I would like to share our amazing encounter with exotic foods at Balaw Balaw Restaurant in Angono, Rizal. This happened after enjoying the famous Higantes Festival; while our clothes were wet, we headed to this special restaurant.

The stunning and colorful Higantes Festival

His image is carried by male devotees during the procession, followed by the street dancers and participants.

Animasola Island has a spectacular rock formation

Animasola Island is one of the sun-drenched islets of the Burias Group of Islands in San Pascual, Masbate. We travelled 3 hours via motorized banca from Alibijaban Island to witness its grandeur. It's true, it's a gigantic rock perched in the water that looks beautiful because of its unique formation, curved by nature. Just the journey itself while crossing the sea, with the huge waves, was remarkable. Our motorized banca was like hopping on and off the huge waves. From afar, this islet looks ordinary, the same as with the islets we've visited; however, as we were getting nearer, the view was just astounding because of its unique formation.
