Traveling via train is still one of the most convenient and efficient way of wandering around places especially in huge cities and provinces like Manila if you don't have your own private cars and thus opted to commute. Currently there are four lines of rapid transit systems continuously operating in Metro Manila such as the MRT Line 3 which runs along EDSA from Taft Avenue in Pasay City to North Avenue in Quezon City, the LRT Line 1 which runs from Baclaran Station of Paranaque City to Roosevelt Station in Quezon City, the LRT Line 2 runs from CM Recto in Santa Cruz Manila to Santolan Station in Marikina City, and the PNR Train which used to be the longest train system in the Philippines but stopped operations of most of its routes.  Map of LRT and MRT Trains in Metro Manila as of 2015.

Here's your guide on how you can book CebuPac ticket online using their new website . Okay, I got you, this has also been asked to me by a friend of mine who wants to travel back to the Philippines from Bangkok, she asked me why is it that when she books Cebu Pacific Promo flight, the fare is still expensive where in fact she just saw the promo announcement being posted in the Cebu Pacific website? She wondered why the ticket price isn't that cheaper as what she saw in the website. Don't have credit card? You can still book your cebu pacific flight online, here's your guide. Well, I suspect it was because of the auto-checked charges that were not disabled during the processing of the ticket booking, so I told her to disabled the following auto-selected choices in order for her to make the airfare ticket cheaper and less expensive. Be careful when you book online by yourself, make sure you take an extra eye on them in order for you to save on your next travel w...

15th SM Mall in My Journey, the SM City North EDSA, Visited on the 17th of December 2015 When I started staying here in Manila for work, I started planning for my new adventure of visiting near SM Malls for my personal travel. I don't go to SM Malls just to shop or buy things I want, rather the things I only need because the reason why I do visit SM Malls is to be there and ultimately reach the goal of completing the visit to all SM Malls in the country, and if lucky enough, I would also love to visit SM Malls in other country and take a selfie with it for my #SMSelfie journey 😂 It took me a while to visit SM City North EDSA which as we know, just a ride away with MRT from Taft and you'll be there in minutes. That was planned actually because I must attend to the annual gathering of Scholars and Alumnus of Kabayan Foundation Scholars which I had never attended before since I studied in Cagayan de Oro City, and since I am here in Manila now working, I must pa...

Kay-Ibon Falls > Kay-Ibon Falls, I'd say is a popular traversal way of Mt. Batolusong if you don't want to be back in the jump off point and of you have someone who's gonna log you out in the jump off point. It might also be a popular swimming destination of local tourist of Tanay because I can say there are still a lot of people there during our visit and other visitors might not be hikers who are traversing Mt. Batolusong but are just there to visit and experience Kay-Ibon Falls. It could also be that others are going the other way around, starting their trek from Kay-Ibon Falls to Duhatan Ridge to Rangyas Peak and back to the Falls. Kay-Ibon Falls I think isn't really for swimming adventure given its little space. But it's worth the trip if you'll gonna try relaxing with the water as it falls on your body giving you free massage--that surely is a priceless experience. Don't worry if you haven't brought with you your towels becau...

Stone Grinder pictured during Kaamulan Festival 2016. Photo by Jeffry Manhulad For us natives, such as lumads of Bukidnon who lived in the remote and mountainous  areas of the Province, "Kaamulan Festival" is not just an ordinary festivity but also an avenue for us to tell the world about our stories--stories that is just too good to be true that once in our lives we have lived and survived a generation with the help of the great tool we've developed like this stone grinder--a tool we use to grind our favorite staple food such as corn back then when grinding machines weren't yet available and when we're still left behind by the We may rarely see it being used today unless for a cultural show and presentation, but we're still lucky we have them now physically, able to touch and feel in our hands, and isn't just laying in a piece of paper, printed.

A little treat of thrill in Mt. Batolusong is the rock climbing to reach the Rangyas Peak Summit For professional hikers, they might find it not so thrilling and would immediately dive going this way to reach the Rangyas Peak of Mt. Batolusong in Tanay, Rizal because it's not even hard as you see it in this photo, anyway you can always choose to go back door and not climb on these rocks to reach the summit, but I'd suggest you give it a try and it'll make your day in Mt. Batolusong. If you want more easier, yeah you can always take the exit trail but you'd miss half the experience without trying to reach the summit via the "entrance" if I may call it where you gotta try the rock climbing bare hands 😂 Also Read: How I mapped the Trail of Mt. Batolusong of Tanay But the fact that you're in the summit and you're what they call "summiters" people who've been to the summit is just so awesome! You've got to feel the fresh air...
