Thanks alheaine! :) Took that photo from a plane. ;) xxxriainxxx December 12th, 2011, 05:20 AM To our Malaysian and Singaporean forumers - San Fernando is very close to Clark Airport/Diosdado Macapagal International Airport which has direct flights to Singapore (Tiger), Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu (Air Asia) and other Asian cities. Say hello to the Giant Christmas Lanterns of Pampanga, Philippines! LIGLIGAN PARUL! On a finer note, San Fernando lights up on the Saturday before Christmas with its Giant Lanterns Festival (Ligligan Parul). The lanterns are approximately 20 feet high, and illuminated by about 3,500 to 5,000 light bulbs that dance to tune of Christmas carols and popular songs. The Lantern Festival was said to have started sometime between 1904-1908. With the popularity of the event, as well as, the presence of Paskuhan Village (Christmas Village, now known as Hilaga Philippines) – the third Christmas theme park in the world and the only one in Asia – San Fernando City also earned the moniker, “Christmas Capital of the Philippines.” Having a Christmas Village, where Christmas is celebrated the whole year round, is not an oddity for Filipinos, where Christmas decorations are put up and Christmas carols can be heard as early as September 1st and as late as the 1st week of January, making the Philippines, the country with the longest Christmas celebration anywhere in the world. http://tourism-philippines.com/images/pampanga-lanterns.jpg http://robinspinzon.com/piks/2008ligliganparul/patdangparul1.jpg http://pampangadirectory.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Giant-Lantern-Fertival.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4008/4198803565_9b8ee887ca.jpg http://bursky.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/100_5828-800.jpg qfgGnfHp6SE xxxriainxxx December 12th, 2011, 05:23 AM ^^^^ You should have done a video something like this gGpvdJNHbqw T2LYVRP4I-o Jt5N6G0KGEM a video is worth more than a picture I did not do a lot of videos- wish I can get a new HD video cam- was only using my DSLR for photos.. the glimpser December 30th, 2011, 12:51 PM Sharing with you a photo of a beach in Palawan that won first place in an international National Geographic photography contest.. http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/8287/640georgetapan.jpg Source: http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/photo/13856/pinoy-travel-photographer-wins-natgeo-photo-contest# jaygold06 January 1st, 2012, 03:26 PM Happy New Year!!!

Universal Pictures' “The Bourne Legacy,” the fourth movie based on the Robert Ludlum novels, will start filming in Manila, the country’s capital, this week. Scheduled to be released in theaters Aug. 3, the latest installment in the spy series was written and is being directed by Tony Gilroy -- who penned the first three films -– and will be the first without Matt Damon playing the title role. Bourne is not a character in the new movie. Jeremy Renner, instead, will portray an agent in the same line of business as Bourne, with Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton co-starring.Read more (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2012/01/bourne-legacy-makes-a-stop-in-the-philippines.html) hakz2007 January 12th, 2012, 01:34 AM More Fun In The Philippines! http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee423/Aklandia/atiatihan_r.jpg Photo Credit to Google Images http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa426/xianmen/BacolodGovernmentCenter.jpg Bacolod City Government Center Negros Occidental, Philippines www.bacolodcity.gov.ph http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee423/Aklandia/Ati-Atihan-warriors.jpg http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/390900_325038854196965_128752563825596_1047702_387144451_n.jpg Source: PhotoworldManila (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=325038854196965&set=a.154352107932308.32475.128752563825596&type=1&ref=nf) ...

The touching relationship between a fisherman and a very sociable whale SHARK Like giant goldfish, these massive whale sharks don't mind being fed hand to mouth by their fishermen friends. Photographed near Oslob in the Philippines, the groundbreaking images show close relationship previously not thought possible. Captured by conservationist Shawn Heinrichs, the once-in-a-lifetime behaviour of the half dozen whale sharks up to 25ft long and the 12 or so fishermen draws gasps of disbelief from casual observers. The food-based friendship centres around the brine shrimp the fishermen are catching and the trust between man and the world's largest fish is evident to see. http://62.0.5.134/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/01/10/article-2084508-0F63102000000578-399_964x635.jpg http://62.0.5.133/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/01/10/article-2084508-0F6311C200000578-158_964x560.jpg http://62.0.5.134/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/01/10/article-2084508-0F63164600000578-305_964x622.jpg Read more (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2084508/The-touching-scenes-friendship-Filipino-fishermen-worlds-biggest-fish-man-nature.html) xxxriainxxx January 13th, 2012, 09:09 AM http://s1-05.twitpicproxy.com/photos/full/494797838.jpg http://s1-03.twitpicproxy.com/photos/large/494260056.jpg http://s1-05.twitpicproxy.com/photos/large/494248026.jpg reign January 15th, 2012, 04:26 PM Beautiful Palawan ! https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/312147_121065914666413_119073424865662_105803_117402878_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/307850_121065957999742_119073424865662_105804_1036303469_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/294713_121066031333068_119073424865662_105807_160079913_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/309087_121066097999728_119073424865662_105810_1936339503_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/308873_121066111333060_119073424865662_105811_422025514_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/315332_121066941332977_119073424865662_105819_1259186_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/299737_121067027999635_119073424865662_105823_836752309_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/307662_121067051332966_119073424865662_105824_1180517160_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/310437_121067121332959_119073424865662_105827_49809593_n.jpg I just had an orgasmic visual feast right there.

I don't know what to think. Is it bad for the whale sharks? is it good? is it neutral? more studies need to be made. At least the sharks aren't being slaughtered. However, if these whale sharks made it up north where there are CRAZY CHINESE POACHERS, then that's just bad. The Chinese should be patrolled around these parts. 12jairien14 January 17th, 2012, 01:06 AM :cheers: Paseo del Mar - Zamboanga Int'l Port Panorama http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6091/6298093065_c564be0f7b_b.jpg credits to the owner of the photos Asia's Latin City & Asia's Most Colorful City!

AFP PHOTO A travel website has named the Philippines’ famous Boracay island as the best beach in Asia. The website www.TripAdvisor.com’s Travelers’ Choice 2011 also voted the island as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. “At only 4.5 miles long, Boracay is small enough to navigate by rented bicycle or motorbike. But don’t let its small size fool you—you’ll have several excellent beaches to choose from,” it said. “Yapak Beach is known for beautiful white shells; White Beach has picture-perfect sunsets; and Balinghai Beach is a secluded spot, perfect for honeymooners. As long as you visit during dry season, you’ll agree this is one of the best beach destinations in the world,” the website added. Included in the list of 25 best beaches in the world were Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands (No. 1); Boracay, Philippines (No. 2 ); Palm/Eagle beach, Aruba island (No.3 ); Negril, Jamaica (No. 4); Tulum, Mexico (No.5); Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (No. 6); Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman island (No. 7); Punta Cana, Dominican Republic (No. 8); Cape May, New Jersey (No. 9) and Santa Teresa, Costa Rica (No. 10). The website said that the ranking was based on the travelers’ reviews and ratings. In Asia, the top best beaches were: Boracay, Philippines; Maldives, Koh Phangan, Thailand; Koh Samui, Thailand; Khao Lak, Thailand; Ko Phi Phi Don, Thailand; Gili Trawangan, Indonesia; Krabi Town, Thailand; Ko Lanta, Thailand; and Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam. Best destinations The website also included the summer capital of the Philippines—Baguio City—in its Top Best Destinations in Asia. The City of Pines ranked 22nd in the best destinations category. “Baguio, perched high in the Cordillera Central Mountains, is a great place to escape the heat of the Philippine lowlands. Camp John Hay, originally built as a recreation area for US soldiers, now is a full-fledged resort complete with a world-class golf course. Definitely stop at the city market, where you can buy almost anything (just be prepared to haggle),” it said. Hong Kong was named the best destination in Asia while Cape Town, South Africa was adjudged the best in the world. In its list of best hotels, TripAdvisor’s included Dave’s Straw Hat Inn in Boracay and Padre Burgos Castle Resort in Southern Leyte as Top Hotels for Service in Asia, which ranked 14th and 18th, respectively, while the Alegre Beach Resort in Cebu ranked 25th in All-Inclusive Resorts in Asia.

Dubbed the “Festival of Festivals”, Panaad (Hiligaynon for a vow and its fulfillment) is a colorful and jubilant presentation of individual festivals of the 13 cities and 19 municipalities of Negros Occidental. It presents Bacolod City’s famous Masskara, La Carlota’s rhythmic Pasalamat, San Carlos City’s multi-awarded Pintaflores, Kabankalan City’s Sinulog, Bago City’s Babaylan, Escalante City’s Manlambus, Sagay City’s Sinigayan, Cadiz City’s Dinagsa, Mambukal’s Mudpack, San Enrique’s Bulang-Bulang, La Castellana’s Bailes de Luces, Don Salvador Benedicto’s Kali-Kalihan, and many more. It brings together the 32 LGUs in an array of theme booths that showcase their history, arts and culture, tourism, commerce, trade and industry, in the 25-hectare eucalyptus trees-lined Panaad Park and Sports Complex. Panaad is also a time renewing bonds or initiating friendships. The festival attracts most of the 2.6 million-strong Negrenses, their balikbayan relatives and friends, who get a glimpse of the best offerings of the towns and cities in a tour of the uniquely designed booths, as well as in cultural presentations and friendly competitions for beauty, talent, skills, and in sports. Free shows or concerts by popular Manila-based artists add fun and excitement to the festivities. The fun continues in the food and drinks alley that offer the famous chicken inasal, grilled fish and seafood, including various shellfish, oysters, and scallops. Local bands perform nightly till way past midnight in the food and drinks alley. Panaad also features the gains the province has achieved in its diversification efforts and its priority agenda, particularly in Food Sufficiency and Agricultural Productivity. It is seriously developing its rice and corn industries and positioning livestock as its second major industry, next to sugar. With the Negrenses’ pioneering spirit, Negros is no longer just sugar; it is also cutflowers and ornamentals, high value fruits and organically-grown vegetables, prawns and seafood, champion fighting cocks, exquisite handcrafted gift items and houseware, world-class furniture and garments, and many more. Panaad is a thanksgiving celebration and an exhibition of the best of Negros Occidental… now, “Sugar… and more!” http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7174/6772818131_917f1a642f_b.jpg reign January 31st, 2012, 02:19 PM :cheers: Palapag (N.

Was using it with my 10-22mm lens when I realized I could better remember what the magnificent Mt Pinatubo crater lake looks like with ambient sound and feel of the movement of everything in my surroundings. Here goes! It's short but it sends the point across. One thing I noticed is the lack of wind sound reduction that's standard with my Lumix ZS3. mov compression is looking good. I was playing this clip a while ago from my PC and there was a jump after every second of video footage. WTF's with that?! The Mt Pinatubo trip we did this morning was amazing. Off road drive via 4x4, the lahar painted landscape, the Aeta Village, the terrain, the surprise at how the entire place near the crater is well maintained despite the absence of electricity, the courteous drivers and guides, the tour main man, the view, communion with nature, and great company all made this day something I'll remember for a long while.

The island of Camiguin is of volcanic origin and composed of four young “stratovolcanoes” overlying older volcanic structures. These include Mt. Vulcan and Mount Hibok-Hibok, still considered active having last erupted in 1953. History records show that Mount Vulcan started as a volcanic fissure on April 30, 1871 after weeks of earthquakes on the island. After continuously spewing out lava into the sea, it gained a height of nearly 2,000 feet and submerged areas of Catarman, including the former capitol’s cemetery. Today, all that remains of old Catarman are the ruins of an ancient Spanish San Roque church, a convent and a bell tower. Remnants of the structures and gravestones of the cemetery were still seen during low tide until 1948 when Mount Vulcan erupted for the fourth time, which buried the area deeper by 20 feet. In 1982, a large cross was built on the solidified lava to mark this old gravesite. How to get to Camiguin: The closest airport to Camiguin is in Cagayan de Oro City. From there, head for the bus terminal in Agora Market. Take a bus to Balingoan town and then hop on a ferry bound for Camiguin Island. The trip usually takes an hour before you reach Benoni Wharf of Mahinog, which is 17 kilometers from the capital town of Mambajao. You can also take a three-hour ferry ride from the Cagayan de Oro Ferry Terminal to the town of Guinsiliban in Camiguin http://loqal.ph/travel-and-outdoors/2010/07/01/the-story-behind-the-famous-sunken-cemetery-in-camiguin/ inno4321 March 29th, 2012, 05:35 PM more more.... reign March 29th, 2012, 05:54 PM Caramoan , Camarines Sur http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7206/6999564575_b9cbc0cb2b_c.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/emorey/6999564575/) Caramoan2012 (222) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/emorey/6999564575/) by amorey (http://www.flickr.com/people/emorey/), on Flickr http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7278/6853442364_1fea278420_c.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/emorey/6853442364/) Caramoan (322) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/emorey/6853442364/) by amorey (http://www.flickr.com/people/emorey/), on Flickr http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6044/6853440878_0ce895be33_c.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/emorey/6853440878/) Caramoan2012 (221) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/emorey/6853440878/) by amorey (http://www.flickr.com/people/emorey/), on Flickr http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7105/6999563625_b609c8005f_c.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/emorey/6999563625/) Caramoan (320) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/emorey/6999563625/) by amorey (http://www.flickr.com/people/emorey/), on Flickr reign March 29th, 2012, 06:11 PM Bohol The Virgin Island https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/425942_3267967624234_1418616097_3131563_405575629_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/427382_3267293607384_1418616097_3131369_603123666_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/423475_3267967984243_1418616097_3131564_819287075_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/425511_3267968184248_1418616097_3131565_1848180685_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/398479_3267968744262_1418616097_3131567_81695918_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/431316_3267142203599_1418616097_3131243_237196298_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/432107_3267146723712_1418616097_3131252_1841253295_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/431377_3267299047520_1418616097_3131375_1492240038_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/396300_3267302247600_1418616097_3131378_521526342_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/421725_3267171684336_1418616097_3131271_1260791939_n.jpg Balicasag Island https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/407438_3267975184423_1418616097_3131570_1805799323_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/409395_3267974744412_1418616097_3131569_103705973_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/418814_3267074481906_2031928457_n.jpg the glimpser March 31st, 2012, 08:08 AM Aklan Province, Central Philippines 4vK-ZXrct7E oyiQUqamEyw reign April 2nd, 2012, 05:28 PM Cebu another one of Cebu's various white beaches :) BANTAYAN ISLAND, CEBU credits to the photo owners :) http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7197/6861440579_a016f622c0_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/28092785@N07/6861440579/) Santa Fe Bantayan Island Philippines (http://www.flickr.com/photos/28092785@N07/6861440579/) by hayden carlyon (http://www.flickr.com/people/28092785@N07/), on Flickr http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2430/3636644909_9d36f7ecfc_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/emwing/3636644909/) Just Under the Horizon (http://www.flickr.com/photos/emwing/3636644909/) by Lemuel Montejo (http://www.flickr.com/people/emwing/), on Flickr http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3349/3627092973_68be458bb4_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/20743767@N08/3627092973/) serenity (http://www.flickr.com/photos/20743767@N08/3627092973/) by Dalven Cruel (http://www.flickr.com/people/20743767@N08/), on Flickr http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6136/6020670929_990ecbbb11_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/tybatilo/6020670929/) Sandbar (http://www.flickr.com/photos/tybatilo/6020670929/) by T y Batilo (http://www.flickr.com/people/tybatilo/), on Flickr http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3569/3381724726_9ddb7ec066_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/24978197@N05/3381724726/) Summer, summer (http://www.flickr.com/photos/24978197@N05/3381724726/) by RuCus (http://www.flickr.com/people/24978197@N05/), on Flickr Yellow Fever April 6th, 2012, 02:25 AM white sandy beach, blue sky and green water make this island looks simply wonderful! the glimpser April 6th, 2012, 04:08 AM ^^ Thank you!

It is said that one of the most marvelous sunsets in the city could be witnessed here. http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_4266.jpg A view of the city’s busy port could also be seen from Paseo del Mar. Until it comes more alive at night with live bands, food stalls and colorful decorative lamps lighting up the park. http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_4274.jpg http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_4272.jpg Paseo del Mar Musically Gyrating Dancing Fountain It was also a coincidence that during our visit, on the 23rd of March, it was also the city’s launching of their first ever (and probably Philippines’ as I haven’t seen one like it before anywhere else in our country) Dancing Musically Gyrating Fountain.

March 27, 2012 Exploring Asia’s Latin City: Ciudad de Zamboanga http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_3914.jpg http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_3920.jpg Exploring Zamboanga City Zamboanga City is known as the “Latin City of Asia” for its strong Hispanic/Latin influence. Even from the moment we’ve arrived at the city, I was already fascinated by the numerous Spanish looking architecture that lined the streets – from private homes, commercial buildings, and even their government offices. More fascinating is hearing locals speak in Chavacano or hearing Spanish-sounding conversations … I loved it because it made me feel interested to learn more about the local culture … that’s something that doesn’t happen too often when one travel in the Philippines. Zamboanga exudes a sort of cosmopolitan aura … not in a global sense (obviously) but there are a lot of strong multicultural influences that set it apart from being just like any other city in the Philippines. I loved walking around the city to see exquisite Spanish-colonial structures still in good condition. I was actually impressed at how the city government had maintained their beautiful heritage and preserve their environment, I hope more cities will make an example out of Zamboanga City. http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_3935.jpg full story here (http://adventuroj.wordpress.com/2012/03/27/exploring-asias-latin-city-ciudad-de-zamboanga/). March 30, 2012 Get Wet in Pink: Sta Cruz Island (aka The Pink Island), Zamboanga City On our second day, we went on a morning trip to the famous pink sand beach of the Santa Cruz islands. To think that this parcel of Paradise is just 10 minutes away from the city proper … who wouldn’t dare visit it? http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_4360.jpg http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_4372.jpg Zamboanga: Santa Cruz Island and its Pink Sand A pink sand beach is very rare and there are only a few of them around the globe. They can be found in Horseshoe Bay in Bermuda, 3 islands from the Bahamas, Culebra in Puerto Rico, Maui in Hawaii, Santorini in Greece, Barbuda in the Carribean, Crane Beach in Barbados, and here in The Great Santa Cruz Islands in the Philippines. http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_4381.jpg http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_4385.jpg So how did this beach got its pink sand qualities? It’s mainly because of these endangered Red Organ-Pipe Corals. From eons of natural surf erosion, these red organ-pipe corals were pulverized and mixed with the white sands resulting to its colorization. These corals are considered rare due to its unique qualities of a soft coral having a hard skeleton. Here’s a sample: http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_4402.jpg What I particularly love about the island, aside from its pristine blue waters is the serenity of the place. It’s not as crowded as the ones you’ll find in Boracay or Palawan. And I think if you are like me, who prefers areas where you could find peace of mind and truly say that you’re in a vacation (coz people go for vacations to rest right?), you’ll love it here. http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_4382.jpg The locals are also very friendly. You could find a bunch of them here selling souvenir items (mostly sea shells, rock stones and authentic pearls carved and made into necklaces, bracelets, keychains for very affordable prices). There are also swimming goggles and snorkeling sets for rent for those who’d like to view the underwater. http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_4479.jpg http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_4480.jpg http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_4485.jpg Some locals would also offer to cook food for you, just in time coz we actually didn’t bring any ‘baon’ (the Filipino way of calling packed meals). The one we’ve talked to offered to cook us a kilogram of rice for a hundred pesos and crabs (as seen in the image below) 6 big pieces (almost 2kg) I think for just 100php. Imagine that?! Yummy!! http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_4515.jpg http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dsc_4516.jpg full story here (http://adventuroj.wordpress.com/2012/03/30/get-wet-in-pink-sta-cruz-island-aka-the-pink-island-zamboanga-city/). ^^ 12jairien14 April 10th, 2012, 12:45 PM March 29, 2012 Looking Back: A Visit at Fort Pilar and the National Museum of Zamboanga City Just before sunset, we’ve decided to complete our historical visit at Zamboanga City by taking a peek at the Fort Pilar and the National Museum. http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/fort-pilar-zamboanga-15.jpg http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/fort-pilar-zamboanga-18.jpg Fort Pilar Founded in 1635 as a garrison during the Spanish period, Fort Pilar serves as a present day open-air shrine. Originally named as La Fuerza Real de San Jose, the fort is named after and dedicated to Our Lady of the Pilar, the patroness of the Archdiocese of Zamboanga. http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/fort-pilar-zamboanga-2.jpg http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/fort-pilar-zamboanga-6.jpg http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/fort-pilar-zamboanga-7.jpg Carved stone walls in a well landscape picturesque is what awaits you upon entering the grounds of the Fort. http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/fort-pilar-zamboanga-21.jpg http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/fort-pilar-zamboanga-11.jpg A secluded area at the right wing of the grounds where a mini garden with the same ancient wall can be found. http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/fort-pilar-zamboanga-8.jpg Fort Pilar also houses a National Museum branch inside the fort. One can access it with a minimal fee of 10 pesos for the registration. http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/fort-pilar-zamboanga-20.jpg http://adventuroj.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/fort-pilar-zamboanga-19.jpg National Museum of Zamboanga City National Museum of Zamboanga City – The establishment of a museum branch in Zamboanga City was made possible by Presidential Decree 260. declaring Fort Pilar as a National Cultural Treasure on August 1, 1973. Situated within the historic Fort Pilar, the museum is named in honor of Nuestra Señora del Pilar, patroness of Zamboanga. Below are some of the artifacts that could be found inside. Actually a sign infront of the museum says that “Picture taking is not allowed” but after seeking permission from the guard, Kuya guard allowed me. Yay!

Boats from all over the world, of all shapes and sizes find refuge in Tambobo Bay in Siaton, Negros Oriental, backdropped by the majesty of mountains. Forested by extensive mangroves, the bay is one hour from the capital Dumaguete City. LYN RILLON Siaton, Negros Oriental—Michael Prader, a retired artist from Austria, was travelling in Asia in search of the simple life when he heard about the Philippines where “even people in the villages speak English.” His journey brought him to the Tambobo Bay, a beautiful cove in the quiet town of Siaton in Negros Oriental. With an extensive mangrove forest and a rich marine life, it is an ecological sanctuary situated at the southern end of Negros island, almost facing the Sulu Sea. He totally fell in love with the place that he lost no time renting a bamboo house to start building his dream boat. That was 10 years ago. Now building a second sailboat, Michael, 60, is just one of the many foreign travelers who have found a safe haven in Tambobo and have chosen to live in boats moored in the bay’s still waters. With the majestic Mt. Talinis and the Cuernos de Negros mountain range for backdrop, it is not surprising that many world travelers have found a home in Tambobo Bay. Schooners, sloops, catboats, sunfish (a type of sailboat), catamarans, ketches and yawls—name it, they can be found in Tambobo. So comfortable and enchanting is the place that some sailors, finding the exotic girls of their dreams, have settled down and raised a family. Cruisers are particularly attracted to the cove, an hour’s travel from the capital city of Dumaguete, because it shelters their boats from typhoons. Couple aboard Pilar Diane, a graphic artist-designer, and her husband Bill, a forensic geologist in the United States, arrived in Tambobo Bay in 2000 on board a 35-foot Atkins sailboat called “Pilar,” which was named after the heroine in Hemingway’s “For whom the Bell Tolls.” It took them nine years to launch Pilar and seven more before they left San Francisco, California, in 1991 to see the world. Asked why it took them so long to build Pilar, they said it was because they put more importance to the process of building it together than just sailing it and reaching the goal. In their sailing adventures, they were able to visit the remote islands of Mangareva, Caroline Island and Kapingamarangi, to name a few. It was while on the Solomon Islands that they learned about Tambobo from other cruisers. “We were attracted to Tambobo immediately because there are not a lot of places in the world that are safe for boats; even expensive when there’s a marina,” Diane said. “Here in Tambobo, we can leave our boats because it’s safe. This is not a tourist thing like in the Caribbean or Hawaii; we see Tambobo as our little paradise.” It turned out to be an extended stay for them in Tambobo. They eventually acquired a small space along the shore which became a studio and workshop. Like Michael, Diane said she and her husband were enjoying the simple life, including the sheer pleasure of having time to read a book. One local even asked Diane how the Yachties live and if they have a table in their boat. Life in a boat Pilar has a two-cylinder engine, which runs an average of 24 hours on 27 gallons of fuel for 100 nautical miles at five knots. It has berths for four people to sleep on, a toilet and bath, a galley with a sink, an oven, a stove fueled by wood, and a canning machine, 90 gallons of water that could last her a month and a storage for everything. They have a table but no refrigerator, electric fans, hot water or GPS. “Bill and I are dinosaurs,” Diane jested. Upon their arrival in Tambobo in 2000, Diane offered to teach one child how to read on weekends. “Then many came,” and the One Candle Schoolhouse was born. The couple taught the children to translate English storybooks into Cebuano or weave an original story based on a picture storybook. Bill built a carpentry shop, and began teaching locals how to repair and build boats. Budget lessons At first, they had kids aged 5 to 15 years. They would take them to the market to teach them how to budget money; each would be given some amount to buy ingredients for a recipe they were going to cook. They would also take the kids for a tour of Dumaguete. “We took them to the bookstore, an Internet cafe, an art show along the boulevard, and took them for a ride on the escalator at the local store.” Other cruisers volunteered to teach the children sailing, pottery or painting or donate good-quality musical instruments. Others would drive their motorbikes from their home in Dumaguete or Valencia to Tambobo twice a week to teach the children literature or computer applications like Photoshop and Excel. “I feel good simply being with the local residents of Tambobo because I feel that we’re all connected, and that we can help each other to get better together,” Diane said. “Being in a community like Tambobo puts depth in my life.” http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/176881/what-lures-yachties-to-stay-happy-in-negros-bay hakz2007 April 15th, 2012, 11:32 AM Featuring Philippine festivals and traditions in ABS-CBN Summer Station ID 2012! :cheers: B6yMVGJO7Ws brockupo April 19th, 2012, 05:06 PM Mactan Island, Lapu-Lapu City, CEBU, Philippines all photos from http://www.aboitizland.com/industrial/3212:economic_zone_mez2.html The rightful place for Lapu-lapu's monument from Rizal Park: http://www.aboitizland.com/templates/aland2011/galleries/mactan/1.jpg More Mactan pictures: http://www.aboitizland.com/templates/aland2011/galleries/mactan/3.jpg brockupo April 19th, 2012, 05:07 PM http://www.aboitizland.com/templates/aland2011/galleries/mactan/5.jpg http://www.aboitizland.com/templates/aland2011/galleries/mactan/6.jpg brockupo April 19th, 2012, 05:08 PM http://www.aboitizland.com/templates/aland2011/galleries/mactan/7.jpg http://www.aboitizland.com/templates/aland2011/galleries/mactan/8.jpg brockupo April 19th, 2012, 05:13 PM Guitars Made in Mactan Island, Cebu http://www.aboitizland.com/templates/aland2011/galleries/mactan/16.jpg http://www.aboitizland.com/templates/aland2011/galleries/mactan/17.jpg all photos from http://www.aboitizland.com/industrial/3212:economic_zone_mez2.html reign April 20th, 2012, 01:19 PM Originally posted by SNPKLSDMBLDR Basilica de San Martin de Tours, Taal, Batangas Basilica de San Martin de Tours is a Minor Basilica in the town of Taal, Batangas in the Philippines.

The drink was recently launched by the Department of Tourism (DOT) in cooperation with the Makati Shangri-La hotel as part of its efforts to attract more foreigners to the country. Described as “distinctly Filipino,” Manila Sunshine has “lambanog,” or coconut wine, as its base. It also has the flavors of local fruits mango and pineapple, with a tinge of triple sec and dark rum from Tanduay, an alcoholic beverage in the Philippines. The cocktail is garnished with “tanglad” or lemongrass, and a sliced pineapple. http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/lifestyle/05/14/12/manila-now-has-signature-cocktail brockupo May 21st, 2012, 06:30 PM Video1 by Nick Sagada Pagudpud Roadtrip Philippines RnqNyuWmvrI Video2 by Nick Visayas Sailing kitetrip Philippines 27YVlO9K9Ds Video by wallyann Whale Shark Encounter at Tan-awan Oslob, Cebu Philippines rT2sHGx9jF8 Yellow Fever June 1st, 2012, 08:16 AM http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7103/7312576778_82e055633f_b.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/achilez/7312576778/ Pandanon Island http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8157/7312587536_6ba88643e6_b.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/achilez/7312587536/ Pandanon Island http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8148/7312576342_e664816de6_b.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/achilez/7312576342/ http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7215/7312468886_877a84501f_b.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/racquelsalvador/7312468886/ White Island Camiguin Island, Philippines http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7214/7312457404_23f80c71da_b.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/shawn_chrvala/7312457404/ Badian Island Resort in Cebu http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7089/7312471252_4c131aa990_b.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/shawn_chrvala/7312471252/ italiano_pellicano June 1st, 2012, 07:52 PM wow amazing KnightOfTheFlag June 4th, 2012, 02:40 PM Credits to the original poster from Philippine Travel and tourism Thread Apo Reef the ‘Jewel of Mindoro’ Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro “the center of Earth’s marine diversity.” Apo Reef is a series of coral reefs encompassing 34 square kilometers within the waters of Occidental Mindoro in the Philippines.

Its magnificent cascades are found in Borboanan, Bislig City, a one hour ride from Mangagoy, center of tradekand commerce in Bislig City. About 55 meters high and a breathtaking width of 95 meters, it is said to be the widest in the country. Centuries old amazing giant trees, ferns and vines in a thick rainforest envelop your ride through thick forested hills that enclose the falls. Islets are on the swimming ground, with slippery logs where you can cross for a good view, plus multi-layered stones as pathways. Every morning, the area is blessed with a sprinkle of a rainbow that appears between 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/182430_1560738819835_1276240976_31180908_6867202_n.jpg http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/182282_1560745740008_1276240976_31180915_8109034_n.jpg http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.ne4/hphotos-ak-snc6/183889_1560754740233_1276240976_31180935_6462261_n.jpg http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/182462_1560762140418_1276240976_31180946_5994692_n.jpg http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/182462_1560762180419_1276240976_31180947_7094452_n.jpg http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/184886_1560773300697_1276240976_31180959_832969_n.jpg Enchanted River Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur This little known town is blessed with a hidden treasure --a stunning blue river nestled within a mountainside and protectively covered by a forest. Its dark tinge comes from the Pacific sea pouring in from a deep underwater crevice. To local folks, it is said to be enchanted. Full of rich marine fishes swimming in the deep blue, no one is said to have ever caught one. Once you take a dip in the cool, clear waters, you don't want to come out. Hinatuan can be reached by land from Davao in an estimated 7 hours, or via Bislig City in less than 2 hours. http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/183175_1560799821360_1276240976_31180990_2819371_n.jpg http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/181929_1560806581529_1276240976_31180992_4838239_n.jpg http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/181929_1560806621530_1276240976_31180993_5460206_n.jpg http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/181929_1560806661531_1276240976_31180994_4656313_n.jpg alheaine June 13th, 2012, 03:15 PM Tinuy-an Falls is so devine!!! and the enchanted river..awesome!! :eek: alheaine June 13th, 2012, 04:28 PM APzWfIHB-7M italiano_pellicano June 14th, 2012, 04:06 AM wow amazing BCFeet June 15th, 2012, 03:24 AM Abra River http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3301/3300205744_0dbde0f93e_z.jpg?zz=1 Abra River (http://www.flickr.com/photos/hilton_photos/3300205744/in/photostream/) by rhilton4u (http://www.flickr.com/photos/hilton_photos/) bacolodchamp June 16th, 2012, 06:44 AM Sipalay♥ In Southern Negros Occidental http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7074/7344229732_5f10c50195_c.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8022/7344233122_9631c74994_c.jpg Photos by Taz08 bacolodchamp June 16th, 2012, 06:46 AM Talusan Point Sipalay City, Negros Occidental http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/205403_394908047213155_1302208800_n.jpg choose philippines (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=394908047213155&set=a.109389565765006.5803.109288295775133&type=1&theater) KnightOfTheFlag June 17th, 2012, 03:02 AM Repost from Travel and Tourism Industry Thread All credits to the original poster :) http://lockerz.vo.llnwd.net/v1/photos/medium/x2_cf2c149 DREW ARELLANO GMANEWSTV WEEKEND GETAWAY to be featured next fridays episode http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/216814_165860433469550_4851811_n.jpg http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/205157_165799190142341_6139147_n.jpg http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/560472_3993840006499_1091682846_n.jpg http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/207156_165575323498061_1847746_n.jpg http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2137/2229730641_5b79e18cb0_z.jpg?zz=1 http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/430735_3137279513022_1482281422_n.jpg The SWITZERLAND OF THE ORIENT, LAKE BULUSAN http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/560158_3951841596565_1014144318_n.jpg crater BULUSAN VOLCANO http://annzventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/P1100049.jpg MASACROT SPRING http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--4lZ7xjvIrI/T9TA748KF9I/AAAAAAAAHcA/Lg0QDMmGHMk/s1600/sorsogon_cathedral_4.jpg ST.

DOT IX Acting Regional Director Mary June Bugante said she is confident the launching of Vinta sailing would make Paseo and the city in general more attractive to visitors. “It will add more attraction especially akel quien quiere visita na Zamboanga they will look forward to sailing in a vinta,” Bugante said. She added that, “Eversince gayot vinta el icon, el symbol de Zamboanga City. Si ta mira quita vinta tan relate sila na Zamboanga cay amo se de atun icon. Nesecita readily seen in Zamboanga City el vinta kay di atun visita tan expect sila tiene vinta.” Before the maiden ride, a program was first conducted wherein local dances including “pangalay” were performed by volunteers. Five vintas were on standby during the said activity. Mayor Celso Lobregat and Bugante spearheaded the maiden ride. After the maiden ride, the public immediately flocked the area to experience a free vinta ride. The vintas together with the “bangkeros” were properly registered with the DOT, where the public may now experience a vinta ride. Meanwhile, Lobregat said, “If you look at the responds, the people are very enthusiastic...it’s really more fun in Zamboanga. This will give the chance not only for tourist but even the resident to be able to see the vintas more often.” He added that normally vintas can only be seen during the regatta but this will now be a program every weekend. The public can now experience a vinta ride every Saturday and Sunday from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. for only P50 per head. By R.G. A A.

Michele Puzzolante has created realistic plans for a $125 million resort that will have a "five-star hotel" as well as pod-like floating units that can house up to six people. The resort and units would all be powered by a generator that runs purely on energy created by the sun's rays. Sound too environmentally ambitious to be true? Puzzolante wrote in the release that there are talks in progress to construct the resort in the Philippines. Puzzolante sent us some renderings of the resort and its units, which you could end up booking soon.

The origin of the term bayanihan can be traced from a common tradition in Philippine towns where community members volunteer to help a family move to a new place by volunteering to transport the house to a specific location. The process involves literally carrying the house to its new location. This is done by putting bamboo poles forming a strong frame to lift the stilts from the ground and carrying the whole house with the men positioned at the ends of each pole. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/s720x720/547996_10151010299834064_395666615_n.jpg Rowing: Enchanted River, Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/293805_10151014101134064_818520960_n.jpg Equestrian: Abra Province https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/557401_10151022365404064_717273011_n.jpg :cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers: xxxriainxxx August 3rd, 2012, 05:00 PM :banana::banana::banana::banana: Maybe not directly related to tourism, but it may promotes Cebu's lechon...hehehehe F1 star Button wants Cebu’s lechon (http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/240497/f1-star-button-wants-cebus-lechon) Cebu Daily News 6:52 am | Wednesday, August 1st, 2012 Tweet 140 19 Guess what’s on top of Jenson Button’s gastronomic list when he arrived in Cebu last night? It’s Cebu’s famous inasal or roasted pig, no less. The Formula One 2009 World Champion tweeted last night that he is contemplating on tasting Cebu’s famous dish with a tinge of reservation of course. The McLaren-Mercedes driver arrived with Japanese model girlfriend Jessica Michibata for the Aug. 5 Cobra Energy Drink Ironman 70.3 Cebu. Button, who does triathlon as part of his cross training, will be competing in the age-group categories in Cebu’s inaugural hosting of the tough sporting spectacle event. Michibata, on the other hand, will be doing a relay alongside Sportswriters Association of Cebu president John Pages and Cebu 5th district Rep. Red Durano. Button tweeted that he decided to have a taste of the crispy lechon because he is not sure if fish and chips are available here. He also said that he expects some tough competition on Sunday’s Half Ironman. Button had also kept busy as he hit the waters with Michibata and friends after having some drinks./CORRESPONDENT MARS G.

This is a geologist's and caver's paradise because of the rare rock formations (helectites, speleothems, straws, capers, columns, flowstones, etc.). It is found in the province of Nueva Vizcaya (about five to six hours ride from Manila) in a place called the Malabing Valley (in the town of Kasibu where you need to do some hiking to reach the exact place). The Lion and Alayan caves are the ones most familiar and measure about 4.2 km and will take you more than five hours to traverse. https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/268326_10151037772034064_274773775_n.jpg xxxriainxxx August 3rd, 2012, 06:18 PM Pico de Loro, Cavite PHILIPPINES https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/418616_10151038035149064_235285478_n.jpg xxxriainxxx August 4th, 2012, 06:04 AM NAO Robot Dancing To It's More Fun In The Philippines Song mq_rDIPCNf4 :dance: :dance: xxxriainxxx August 4th, 2012, 06:17 AM Another lesser known destination: Sambawan Island, Biliran, PHILIPPINES. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/s720x720/399500_10151028681789064_1440687358_n.jpg xxxriainxxx August 4th, 2012, 06:20 AM ATENEO DE ZAMBOANGA UNIVERSITY “Living 100 years of Excellence, Spirituality, and Citizenship”.

The good times are into their fourth year, fuelled by steady economic growth, Western firms offshoring jobs to the Philippines, the buying power of millions of Filipinos working abroad and low interest rates. "It just so happens that today the stars are aligned... we have never seen the economy this bullish," said Antonino Aquino, president of Ayala Land, one of the country's biggest property developers. Ayala Land is one of the main players in what industry figures describe as an unprecedented construction boom that is transforming the skyline of the nation's capital, as well as many provincial cities. In Manila, formerly sleepy pockets such as the Fort army base and the rundown Eastwood industrial zone have become chic, new business districts, catering mainly for the fast-growing outsourcing sector. At the Fort, Ayala Land this year broke ground on its $714-million One Bonifacio High Street project, which when completed in 2017 will host the Philippine Stock Exchange, a Shangri-La hotel, and retail outlets. The project also has a 63-storey residential tower, with 298 suites ranging from $500,000-$1.9 million that sold out last month in 96 hours, according to the company. Across the country, more than 850,000 square metres (9.1 million square feet) of office space and 14,000 residential units will enter the market this year, property consultants CBRE Philippines said in a report. It said many of the residential units catered for a growing middle-class on the fringes of Manila and other urban centres. The building boom has also spread to hotels, shopping malls and casinos, triggering hopes of a long-anticipated take-off of the underdeveloped tourism industry. Three of the world's biggest gaming industry leaders are building a $4-billion, 100-hectare (247-acre) Entertainment City complex of casinos on Manila Bay. The first of the casinos are set to open early next year. Meanwhile, Trump, the New York mogul, has put his name to a $150-million, 56-storey, curtain-glass-walled Trump Tower that broke ground in the financial district this year. "High-end buyers look for key differentiated features," said Robbie Antonio, managing director of Century Properties that is behind the Trump Tower development. He said 70 percent of the 220 residential units, which are worth up to $1.86 million each, have been sold. The firm is putting up a nearby tower designed by the Versace fashion house -- the first of its kind in Asia -- featuring individual wading pools as well as its iconic Medusa-head brand imprinted on lamp shades and cutlery. Century also flew in socialite and hotel heiress Hilton to Manila last year to help design and promote a suburban Manila residential project that features a man-made beach. Industry players say the property boom reflects the overall status of the nation's economy as it picks up steam after decades of underperforming compared with many of its Asian neighbours. The economy grew 6.4 percent in the first quarter, the stock market has surged 20 percent this year to hit all-time highs, and the country's credit rating has been bumped up to just a step below investment grade. The central bank's benchmark interest rates are also at historic lows -- 4.0 percent for the benchmark borrowing rate -- ensuring large piles of cheap cash for property development. Aside from the macro economic picture, real estate analysts point to the outsourcing phenomenon as one of the key drivers of the property boom. From virtually nothing a decade ago, outsourcing now employs more than 600,000 people and is worth $11 billion annually, according to the main industry association which is forecasting 15 percent growth in the years ahead. Many of the skyscrapers are being built to cater for the outsourcing workforce, which performs a myriad of tasks from call centre duties to designing architectural plans for foreign firms. Meanwhile, roughly nine million Filipinos who work overseas are sending large chunks of the $22 billion they earn -- equal to 10 percent of the nation's gross domestic product -- back home, often investing in real estate. The frenetic building pace has some quarters anxious over a potential property bubble, with the global economic woes adding to concerns. But Rick Santos, CBRE Philippines chief executive, remains bullish, in large part because of the expected continued growth in the outsourcing sector. "As economies in the West tighten, global companies will see it in their interest to outsource their non-core functions to save on costs, " Santos told an industry briefing recently. Ayala Land's Aquino also said local market had not seen the price bubbles that preceded crashes in other countries, where property values suddenly doubled or tripled. "The price increases have been very close to or a little more than the inflation rate," Aquino said.

Mount Pinatubo's Plinian / Ultra-Plinian eruption on June 15, 1991 produced the second largest terrestrial eruption of the 20th century but successful predictions at the onset of climactic eruption, saved tens of thousands of lives. The eruption was felt worldwide and global temperatures dropped by about 0.5 °C (0.900 °F), and ozone depletion temporarily increased substantially. The caldera formed and Lake Pinatubo has since become a tourist attraction with the preferred route through Barangay Santa Juliana in Capas, Tarlac. (Photo by: Daryl V.

Yang, who was with a group of tourists from Taipei, breezed through the arrival checks, but returned to the initial screening area to check on his friends, who were delayed at the Customs area. He put his bag down on the X-Ray carousel and forgot about it.Read more (http://interaksyon.com/article/52116/thankful-tourist--taiwanese-gets-back-bag-with-8000-at-naia) hakz2007 January 12th, 2013, 03:14 AM Just wanna share this story....

GRIG C. MONTEGRANDE MANILA, Philippines—A man’s predicament that seems straight out of the Tom Hanks movie “The Terminal” finally had a happy ending at Ninoy Aquino International Airport. A 52-year-old British tourist who had been stranded for nearly a month at Naia’s Terminal 1 was fetched on Wednesday by representatives of the British Embassy, which would now help him book a flight home. The Inquirer learned this from airport workers who gave food and passed the hat to raise pocket money for Gary Peter Austin during the 22 days he spent at the departure lounge. “He was nice and he said he was just waiting for a friend from Kuwait to help him. He slept on the gang chairs with his red luggage. He used the bathroom and changed clothes and he kept himself neat,” said janitress Ma. Hannah Bulabon, 32, of Dasmariñas, Cavite province. http://globalnation.inquirer.net/61329/stranded-briton-heads-home-after-22-days-at-naia-kind-filipinos-fed-him Akrosdayunibers January 12th, 2013, 10:14 AM Onuk Island, Balabac, Palawan How to get here: http://www.akrosdayunibers.com/5/post/2012/12/palawan-south.html http://www.akrosdayunibers.com/uploads/8/0/2/5/8025491/8361998_orig.jpg?525 Akrosdayunibers January 13th, 2013, 02:45 AM Burning Sunset in Bongao, Tawi-Tawi How to get here: http://www.akrosdayunibers.com/5/post/2011/10/tawi-tawi.html http://www.akrosdayunibers.com/uploads/8/0/2/5/8025491/8107627_orig.jpg mm17 January 13th, 2013, 10:48 AM Onuk Island, Balabac, Palawan How to get here: http://akrosdayunibers.weebly.com/5/post/2012/12/palawan-south.html http://akrosdayunibers.weebly.com/uploads/8/0/2/5/8025491/8361998_orig.jpg?525 :cheers::) BCFeet January 15th, 2013, 03:33 AM Aurora, Philippines http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7205/6943522803_50ac130c4a_z.jpg Philippines - Aurora - Baler - East Coast Luzon Island (http://www.flickr.com/photos/bikes-beaches-bolabola/6943522803/) by Bikes Beaches BolaBola (http://www.flickr.com/photos/bikes-beaches-bolabola/), on Flickr http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8480/8166607986_f057fac92b_z.jpg DANCES WITH WAVES (http://www.flickr.com/photos/hirayaphoto_by_oliver/8166607986/) by Hiraya Photo (http://www.flickr.com/photos/hirayaphoto_by_oliver/), on Flickr http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8344/8202901404_d624b75b82_z.jpg WARMING UP (http://www.flickr.com/photos/hirayaphoto_by_oliver/8202901404/) by Hiraya Photo (http://www.flickr.com/photos/hirayaphoto_by_oliver/), on Flickr http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7084/7281278364_e582663dd1_z.jpg View of Digisit Beach (02) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/63349703@N05/7281278364/) by marxtermind09 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/63349703@N05/), on Flickr http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8075/8273374245_891591110b_z.jpg Pipho Baler 2012: View from Ermita Hill (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jovijovijovi/8273374245/) by jovijovijovi (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jovijovijovi/), on Flickr Akrosdayunibers January 16th, 2013, 03:19 AM Atok, Benguet How to get here: http://www.akrosdayunibers.com/5/post/2011/12/benguet.html http://akrosdayunibers.weebly.com/uploads/8/0/2/5/8025491/3231747_orig.jpg?588 http://akrosdayunibers.weebly.com/uploads/8/0/2/5/8025491/5897080_orig.jpg?602 http://akrosdayunibers.weebly.com/uploads/8/0/2/5/8025491/1952932_orig.jpg http://akrosdayunibers.weebly.com/uploads/8/0/2/5/8025491/8402374_orig.jpg?408 http://akrosdayunibers.weebly.com/uploads/8/0/2/5/8025491/2484371_orig.jpg?481 Yellow Fever January 17th, 2013, 07:52 AM The photos of that guy doing wind surfing and water boarding are awesome!
