Philippine Travel Mart (SMX Convention Center)

Philippine Travel Mart
Just got home from the Philippine Travel Mart at SM Mall of Asia Convention Center. I brought everything, like water and food, because I already expected that this event would be a challenging one. I saw thousands of attendees at this travel convention because it will only last for three days.

About DentAlert:

DentAlert is the perfect place for your dental needs. Visiting a dental clinic was a challenge during the pandemic, and I made it after two years. If you are residing in Marikina, Antipolo, and the nearby areas in Rizal, this is your go-to dental clinic. Dr. Rochelle has light hands that I don't even feel what she's doing. As you can see, the clinic has a Doraemon concept and a relaxing ambiance.

Below is the list of the tourist attractions, the actual itinerary, and expenses.

The Grand Mosque

The Grand Mosque
The Masjid Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah or commonly known as The Grand Mosque in Cotabato City is currently the biggest mosque in the Philippines. The towering minarets are 43 meters, which is equivalent to a 15-story building, with a pilot's light on top to avoid aerial accidents. The walls are painted white, while the gigantic domes are covered with gold with crescent moons on top.

The Pink Mosque

The Masjid Dimaukom commonly known as The Pink Mosque, is situated by the highway of Datu Saudi Ampatuan. The mosque is painted with a stunning pink to symbolize peace and love. Also, this color symbolizes unity and brotherhood. To fulfill its meaning, the structure was built by the combined hands of Muslims and Christians. Very unusual because mosques are usually built solely by Muslim brothers.

Backpacking in Maguindanao del Sur

Maguindanao del Sur tourist spots
When I was creating my itinerary for 9 Days Solo-Backpacking in Mindanao, the Pink Mosque in Maguindanao del Sur was on top of the list. I thought traveling to this province was difficult because of the transportation. Still, I didn't expect that Mindanao would have a lot of integrated terminals connecting the provinces, making it easier for locals and tourists to travel to different spots in different regions; like my solo backpacking, it was smooth and hard to forget.
