Lucban, Quezon, Such an Amazing Province to Visit


A fun Saturday Drive to Lucban Quezon a very beautiful place and it was all indeed a recuperate from a very stressful life in Metro Manila. And in just 3 hours of driving, we were greeted by the cold breeze of the amazing province.

Unlike in Metro, you can instantly feel the breeze of fresh air filling up your lungs. I would still love to spend another whole vacation here in a small town situated on the foot of Mount Banahaw.

And before you can even get to the town proper, you will surely be captured by the amazing landscap of Mount Banahaw, very preserved and untouched. And once you reach the Lucban proper, you will be embraced by a very cheerful resident of the town. You will probably feel the Filipino hospitality at their own best.

And of course, who would love the amazing Longganisang Lucban with its very distinctive taste that you can never find anywhere. And don’t forget also their pansit habhab with its very satisfying taste.

I would still be back in this place, and before going back to Manila, you should also visit the hand of Christ situated near a foothill for your spiritual fulfilment.

Poracay Resort, An Unforgettable Summer Escapades

While having my long drive along Pampanga, me and my friends discovered a very nice place to hang out and spend our summer vacation, although its late already. This beautiful place that I am referring was located in Porac, Pampanga and this resort is the PORACAY.

A paradise in the middle of dusty road is a resort they called PORACAY. A very beautiful resort, where at at the start you can't expect that you can find a place like a paradise. As I go with my driving along the way leading to the PORACAY, I started to doubt if we are really going to a resort or not. But  as we get through to the resort, we were all amazed of the beauty of the place. Now I started to appreciate the place now.

Apparently, Poracay is one of the best place for relax and enjoying the beauty of the nature,  Inside the resort, some fun activities and nice facilities are available for you to enjoy the whole day of stay. They have the zip line, boating in a lagoon (maybe like in Burnham Park in Baguio City) for all class of their guests. It was such a perfect place for unwinding and relaxing.

The Poracay is a place to discover. It is not as popular as other resort in the Philippines. But if you will try to discover the place, you will find something in that place, a place that will satisfy your time of spending, your budgeted money and your aim of relaxing and enjoying the rest of your summer plans and activities.

Poracay is an advisable resort to visit. It is a certified escapade in Pampanga. Visit it now!

One of the nicest and beautiful places in the Philippines was the Ilocos Province (both Sur and Norte)  which was located in the northern part of the country. It has beautiful beaches and resorts , hidden  falls that never been seen by everyone except  for those who lived there. Ilocos has the  historical places , a view  like a supernova in beauty,  and a fantastic  nature creation .

Let’s  start with their food  with a  lovely taste like “MIKKI and EMPANADA”  that  must  be experienced  in touring  on the northern part of the Philippines.  Now lets go to Vigan City, one of the historical places in Ilocos region . The place was rich of fascinated old houses by century, made by old materials during the Spanish  time. This historical place reminisce all those past that has been done by the  World War II.

Then let’s go to Ilocos Norte  with same  language known as Ilocano.  In Ilocos Norte , the Batac is there  trailing to  Paoay.   Paoay have also historical places  and landmark like the Paoay church. Lots of tourists go there  to see one of  the oldest  churches in Philippine. Secondly is the  Paoay lake,  it is also a landmark and  view spot. This landmark is a historical place too. As I’ve heard this lake is  also called as “Baryo” in history.

The Third is the Sand dance , this landmark  is a tourist spot too, it is like a desert  where you can experience a sand boarding  and  site seeing facing the south china sea.  It is also known as “ a desert with a sea”.

A city after a long  run from  Ilocos Sur to Ilocos Norte. Why not  have a  simple prayer  in the church of Laoag city before continuing the tour?

Lets continue our journey in Ilocos Region directing to Burgos , also a part of Ilocos  Norte.  Burgos has also a landmark which includes a light house . An old light house where you can see the surrounding of South China sea. This landmark is in the top of a hill where a car can go there.

Now  lets approach  to Bangui, a next town to Burgos, Bangui, is my hometown. It  has  a rail  of windmill a power resource that made by  the son of the Former President Marcos. This landmark   is  also a tourist spot for  local and international. A gigantic  windmills  which stand  across the sea shore of the sea. After windmill , you can take  a ride to the town of Pagudpud, there were six  landmarks  that you must see during your tour. First the Saud beach resort  near  town of Pagudpud, second  is Caparispisan  a hidden  treasure  with corals formations third  is the Kabigan falls, fourth is the Maira ira or blue lagoon so called as the HANNAH beach resort. Then  fifth is the Patapat road connected to sixth  landmark  known as the Agua Grande power resource using a  water resource  for electricity supply of the whole Ilocos region.
