Biak na Bato National Park

Biak na Bato National Park
Biak na Bato National Park is situated in San Miguel, Bulacan, and is one of the top travel destinations in the province because of its historical contribution to the Philippine Republic. Its name translates to "split of the boulder" in English, and it's where Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo signed the Malolos Republic (the first Constitution of the country). Aside from its historical background, tourists and students visit this park to relax, breathe some fresh air, and witness the beauty inside the caves, especially the stunning Bahay Paniki Cave, the highlight of the area. By the way, it was declared a national park in 1937 by the former president Manuel L. Quezon.

Plus, they are very friendly and polite employees. Just so you know, we had no prior reservation, and we're already in Bataan when we started searching for beach resorts on Google Search and Google Maps. We visited several resorts in the Municipality of Morong, crossing our fingers to get an available villa for our overnight stay. Already passed 4 PM, but we hadn’t booked anything yet, so we proceeded to this last resort.

3 Best Museums in Metro Manila

3 Best Museums in Metro Manila
Today is a boring day! Question is: "Anu ang magandang gawin kapag wala kang magawa?" Sagot: " Pinturahan ang buong bahay gamit ang cutix." Pero wala akong cutix. So, after washing my clothes, without itinerary, my initial plan was to visit all the museums in Metro Manila including, Ayala Museum in Makati City, but the plan ended up visiting Marikina Shoe Museum (with 50 pesos entrance) and the two buildings of the National Museum of the Philippines with FREE Admission. Libre, aarte kapa?? Tara na!!

Siquijor

Jump to: Capilay Spring Park | Tori's Backpackers Paradise | Century-Old Balete Tree | Lazi Convent | Lazi Church | Cambugahay Falls | Maria Church | The Witch Broom | Salagdoong Beach | Guiwanon Spring Park | Siquijor Church

You will be under a spell of its beauty as you visit its top destinations. Siquijor Province is known as the "Esla del Fuego" or the "island of fire" because of the mystical fireflies. It is believed that if you see these luminous lights, it is an indication that magic is taking place. By the way, if the province of Capiz is known for its "aswang" and "manananggal," this province is commonly known as "Siquihorror" because of the shamanism and witchcraft. Regardless of whether it's true or not, I was enchanted by this mystical province.

Siargao Island

Siargao Island

About Siargao Island

Siargao Island, located in Surigao del Norte, is the surfing capital of the Philippines. It's famous for its laid-back vibe, crystal-clear waters, island hopping spots, and of course, Cloud 9 – one of the best surf breaks in Asia. Siargao is a must-visit for beach lovers and adventure seekers alike. If you're not into surfing, like me, you can still enjoy the pristine beaches, explorable caves, fresh surroundings, and unique island lifestyle. With time pressure from the province of Dinagat Islands, I travelled here to discover its beauty.

This article includes a detailed and updated backpacking guide for Albay, Sorsogon, and Catanduanes. The purpose of this journey was to complete my Region 5 league.
