The “secret” of Mati

Last February was my “semi annual” trip back to Davao City. This time we decided to go south of Davao, particularly Mati Davao Oriental. On our 3 days 2 night stay, our first stop over was of all places, along the highway overlooking the “sleeping dinosaur”. The view was very, very nice.


After depositing our stuff at the Tourism complex (imagine the overnight stay with two double beds and an extra bed was only P550! that’s with its own T&B). We went straight to the still under construction Kapitolyo with the view of the sea. I got my glimpse of Mati sunset at their very own baywalk hehehe.

Next day we packed up our stuff and moved to the Botona Beach Resort @ Dahican (overnight stay was priced at P1,500.00). Then just a little before lunch we packed our food and went to Cinco Beach Resort @ Masao where we had our lunch and waited for our bangkero to pick us up and deposit us to Wanniban Island. I was in for a surprise! Thou i know that there can’t be another beach front with the same powdery white sand as that of Boracay, still Wanniban proved me wrong! The sand was powdery smooth and white, my feet gets lost everytime i stepped on it! the waters were so clear and you can actually see the the colors of the sea from clear to green to blue! (more…)

Shooting the Rapids – Pagsanjan Falls

Pagsanjan FallWith short planning time and limited budget, we decided to stay in Manila for the 5 day holiday. Not wanting to do nothing for these rare vacation moments, we decided to do a day trip in Pagsanjan Falls. I’ve been hearing about this place since I was a kid but I’ve never really had the chance to go so its pretty exciting to see what this place is all about.

Pagsanjan is about 2 hours away from Makati. We left Makati at 730 am on a Good Friday so there were almost no cars on the road. To get there, take the South Super Highway all the way down to the last exit — Calamba, Laguna. Follow the road that leads to Los Banos, Laguna. Take the main road and you’ll get to Pagsanjan, Laguna. You’ll be passing the municipalities of Los Banos, Pila and Sta. Cruz. Enjoy the ride! The view of the trees and the rice fields reminds me how great it is to be out of Manila! Wonderful! We got to the resort at 930 am. (more…)
