Behold BOHOL

-
Welcome to the land of tarsiers!😀

Bohol is the province I've visited the most because it's not only close to Cebu (my hometown) but because I also have many friends in the area. Lucky me, I don't need to pay for a hotel or an inn for my accommodation since they always invite me in their place. Hahaha Thanks friends!😘 

Definitely, Bohol is one of the places in the Philippines that won't fail your travel goals. 😊 And I want to share with you my TOP TEN tourist destinations in the province. 

#1 Chocolate Hills

Many do wonder "why chocolate?"

Especially during dry season, all the weeds on most of the 1,700+ hills turn brown that look like chocolates spread around the municipalities of Sagbayan, Batuan and Carmen, where the highest peak of the CH is. 
I really find them wonderful and even more wonderful when I see them close.
                   Closer... 
          And closer... :) 

#2 Loboc River Cruise 
 It's just not about the river actually, but the buffet itself! Hahaha Having your lunch on the boat while cruising the river is perfect.👌For only about PhP550, you can have a sumptuous lunch; local dishes of seafood, veggies, and meat plus fruits and drinks. (Sorry, I can't find my photos of the foods.)
      The view while cruising. 
     The tip of the river cruise. 👇
You'll be entertained, by the way, with the locals on a floating stage dancing local dances and singing local songs. 
I don't have a decent photo of the performers and the performance. :( I have a short video of their performance but it's not good either.huhu Yan lang po ang mejo okay na photo. That's their stage, seen on the last photo. 👆

#3 Anda Beach 
It is located at the municipality of Anda. It's pretty far from Tagbilaran, though, roughly 100 km. from the city. It takes more or less 3 hours by van. So, if you want to tour around Bohol, you have to stay there for three days or more. 
         During low tide👇

#4 Virgin Island 
It's not an island actually, but it's just a sandbar. It is only visible during low tide. It's pretty small, but the water is so clear and the sand is powdery white. 
Sobra pa sa sun-kissed ang balat ko nyan. 😅

#6 Balicasag Island
Sad to say, I lost my photos of this island. 😭 You may just google the island. 

It's a nice place for snorkeling and diving. And I must say it's one of the beautiful islands I've seen. 

#7 Tarsier Sight-seeing
 Of course, your Bohol tour won't be complete without seeing these very small creatures, but with very big round eyes. 👀 
 Note: They're endangered species. So, see to it that you follow all the protocols and guidelines there when you're in their habitat. 

#8 Kawasan Waterfalls 
I've featured this waterfall in my past blog, Chasing Waterfalls. 
     Way to the waterfalls 👇

#9 Panglao Island  
It's already known that Panglao Island is famous for its beaches and resorts. But in the recent years, I find the beach areas crowded already. :(  Dikit dikit na mga structures this time. I liked it better during my first stay in Panglao Island way back in 2008. But maganda parin naman mga beaches nila. 

#10 Man-made Forest 
 It's not as thick as I had imagined, but it is good enough. It's always good to know that there are initiatives like this, since we don't have much forests in our country anymore.
There you go my top ten mga ka CP, but I have also been to... 
👣Hinagdanan Cave, (no decent photo inside the cave)
👀Snakes sightseeing
👣 Shiphaus (a house made like a ship even the interior)
 👀whale watching (no photos at all 😑) 

The whale watching is supposed to be in my top ten, but we were so late that time, we were not able to see them. Awww... We only saw one, but only its tail. 😆😅 Kaya no photos available from me. Hehe 

👣 Bet n' Choy Farm Resort 
Good for team building activities. It has rooms, pools, halls, and other recreational facilities. 
       With my siblings 👆
   With my couple friends👆

👀 Tubigon Mangrove 
👣Princess Manan-aw Cave
Located at Pilar, Bohol. It has stalactites and stalagmites. It was a long time ago that I visited the area. I didn't have a camera that time and my android phone didn't have a good camera either. Huhu

This is all for now mga ka CP. I hope you're having a nice time while reading this.

Until then... Stay safe and healthy! 🙏 ❤️

Inandeng River

-

The name Inandeng is from the name of two sitios in Barangay New Agutaya, San Vicente, Palawan, where Inandeng River traverses; Inarayan and Landing. It is 2.5km long, navigatable by smalls boats and kayaks, but only 1.9km is most often navigated by the locals, particularly the fishermen in the bgy.  The end of the river meets the Long Beach, the longest white-sand beach in the Philippines.  What attract me the most about the river are the mangrove area which is believed to be one of the big help in the barangay especially during the super typhoon Odette and the coconut trees that added beauty along the wider area of the river.  Sadly, a lot of the mangrove trees in the area were devastated during the super typhoon, probably the really old ones. However, it is fortunate enough that there's enough left for the people to adore while navigating the river. The LGU-San Vicente has already a plan to develop a River Cruise in the site, where every tourist can enjoy the river and...

Bato ni Ningning

                  📸 Chuck Maquiso Trivia:  In 2015, while I was on my recovery period after my surgery, I only stayed at home for months. During those days, I got nothing else to do but read books, watch movies and for the longest time, watch TV shows.  Because of the daytime series, "Ning2x," on ABS-CBN that time, I started to wonder where they filmed the pilot episodes of the show especially the site where there's a huge rock on the top of the knoll. I found the view really lovely!  Unexpectedly,  after a year and 7 months when I could travel again, I visited my friend/colleague in San Vicente whom I hadn't seen for a long time. She told me that we were going somewhere where it was one of the shooting locations of a television show. That's all! No other clues! hahaha   Can you imagine how I felt when I saw the place I dreamed of seeing but not knowing its location? hehehe It felt so surreal! I was overjoyed. ?...

Puting Bato @Lutopan, Toledo City, Cebu

Mountain climbing is something I got interested in when I first overcame my fear of heights. But our climb to Puting Bato was an unexpected one, that we were not able to wear even a proper footwear. 👣The ascent After about a 25-minute trek from the national highway, this was still pretty okay for the knees. 👌    But then..... Surprisingly!  Still thinking of backing out or not? 😂        Go go go! 💪      We (only 3 of us) never thought the climb would be like that.       No retreat, no surrender!             💪 😅      Finally reached the peak!        Down below 👇  When you're on top, you can see the mining industry in the area, Carmen Copper Corporation (CCC).        Relaxing on top while          ...
