My name is Shamica Kyla, I’m 19 years old and I live in Silang Cavite. I love playing volleyball and listening music. And my experiences in life are sometimes happy and sad especially now pandemic. since covid came i have struggled with the new community we have today. and I lost confidence in things even in my studies I had a hard time and in the problems I was facing but I thought don’t give up on everything and fight that no matter what happens in life just keep not giving up and achieve the dreams/goals and pray to the lord because he is always there for us.

9 Amazing Things to Do in Palawan, the Philippines

When you’re named the world’s “best island” three years in a row, travelers tend to take notice. Travel & Leisure magazine so honored the Philippines island of Palawan – and who can blame them?

This thin, long island on the Philippines’ western flank feels like paradise from end to end, thanks to its gorgeous karst limestone geography. Gorgeous beaches, caves, mountains and jungles, with the occasional settlement offering rustic Filipino food, almost bottomless Filipino beer and good company: this is the perfect recipe for an island getaway you’ll never forget!01of 09

Sail to El Nido’s Secret Beaches

Across the sea from El Nido, Bacuit Bay’s limestone islands loom in the horizon, just waiting to be discovered. There’s honestly no point to visiting El Nido if you don’t go island-hopping around the archipelago’s many beaches.

You can go kayaking at Miniloc’s Big and Small Lagoons, or enjoy finer white sand and clearer water at 7 Commandos Beach, or rediscover Matinloc’s Secret Beach.

Motorized outrigger boats may easily be hired from multiple providers around town. Just check with your El Nido hostel, hotel, or resort; many resorts and pension houses have their own craft for hire or will recommend a trusted outside provider.

Island tour packages and rates have been largely standardized by the El Nido Pumpboat Owners and Operators Association, although some price variations may occur based on the added services each provider offers. Basic island-hopping tours range from PHP 1,200-1,400 (US$ 23-27, and discover what $100 can get you in Southeast Asia).02of 09

Explore the World’s Longest Navigable Underground River

The Cabayugan River flows down from the Saint Paul mountain range within the 22,000-hectare Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, before descending into a cave. The subterranean part of the Cabayugan River is the park’s title attraction.

The underground section of the Cabayugan River is five miles long — about half of this is navigable by boat. Visitors can ride a paddle-powered outrigger boat from the cave’s mouth and sail about a mile into the cave, marveling at the exquisitely-shaped limestone formations within the cave and the bats and swiftlets that call the inner chambers home.

Millennia of water flow have created picturesque stalactites and stalagmites that local guides have named: “Carabao” (a stalagmite that looks like a water buffalo), “Sharon Stone” (a formation that kind of looks like a shapely woman), and a stalagmite formation named after the “Holy Family”.

Despite the “Puerto Princesa” in the name, the underground river park requires a separate bus-and-boat jaunt away from the capital. As limited slots are available on a daily basis for tour groups, tourists are advised to seek the services of local travel agencies to book a tour.  03of 09

Commune With Fireflies on the Iwahig River

No electronics, no cameras, just your small group canoeing on a still river in pitch-black darkness waiting for the firefly show to begin. Put your cameras away; only the most powerful professional cameras can pick out the ethereally bluish swarms of fireflies that flit from the mangroves along the Iwahig River. (Take it from this writer – he tried and failed.)

Travelers are herded three at a time into a small outrigger canoe, manned by a guide who paddles his charges about a kilometer upstream and back (see image). The boat glides past the mangroves that the fireflies call home — the flies put on a lightshow as you sail past.

Tours begin past 8 p.m., and cast off from a small dock in Iwahig town, some 45 minutes’ drive from the capital Puerto Princesa. Tours are easily arranged through most area hotels.04of 09

Discover the Philippines’ Rarest Birds

Wherever you end up along Palawan’s length, you’ll only be a few minutes’ drive away from some of the best birding sites in the Philippines. Birdwatchers swear by the hidden corners and far-flung places where they’ve seen and heard the island’s avian residents in action.

Palawan is an important stop for birds flying this hemisphere’s migratory routes. The East-Asian Australasian Flyway (EAAF) runs between the northern Arctic Circle and New Zealand, with Palawan in the middle offering a breather to over 170 species of migratory birds escaping the cold weather from either pole.

Even without counting the part-timers, Palawan offers 15 endemic bird species found nowhere else. Birders gladly go out of their way to check these birds off their list, including the Palawan hornbill (Anthracoceros marchei), the Palawan scops-owl (Otus fuliginosus) and the cave-dwelling Palawan swiftlet (Aerodramus palawanensis).05of 09

Go Wreck Diving in Coron

A surprise 1944 raid on fleeing Japanese ships gave Palawan’s Coron Bay its most precious asset yet. On September of that year, 24 Helldiver bombers found a Japanese supply fleet and took 15 minutes to blow them all up.

In the present day, the six shipwrecks offer a tempting target for divers of all levels of experience. Beginners can glide past the ships’ exteriors, admiring the coral-encrusted cranes, portholes and armaments. Expert wreck divers can enter the ships and discover a dark, lost world of abandoned engine rooms, scattered personal effects and bomb holes opening to the deep.

Coron’s wrecks range in depth from 10 feet to as deep as 140 feet, with an average depth of 60-80 feet. Motorized outrigger boats called banca take divers from Busuanga Island to the wrecks, which are clustered surprisingly close together: you can spend several days just picking your way through the shipwrecks and dodging the considerable marine life in the area, including yellowfin tuna, groupers, scorpionfish and sea turtles.  06of 09

Eat, Drink &; Be Merry in Puerto Princesa

Travelers tend to treat the capital Puerto Princesa as a very short stopover, if they stop at all! After arriving through the Puerto Princesa International Airport, most take a van immediately north to Port Barton or El Nido.

They don’t know what they’re missing: a vibrant city with plenty of dining and drinking to do!

The capital’s two top restaurants both serve Filipino food, but with very different vibes. Kinabuch feels like an open-air dive bar for tipple-heavy friends, with plenty of fried Filipino favorites served with the best local beer. Kalui feels like a Filipino artists’ fever dream, with natural finishes and Filipino art aplenty.

Finish your night with the stupendous selection of craft beers available at Palaweño Brewery, ranging up and down the IBU from a light Palaw’an honey kolsch to the hoppy Ayahay IPA. The barkeep will happily serve you a flight of their current beers on tap!07of 09

Guard Against Invaders at Taytay Fort

Called Fuerza de Santa Isabel by its Spanish builders and Taytay Fort by present-day locals, this coral-limestone-walled fort was built in the early 1700s to defend Taytay against pirates and slave raiders.

The roughly square-shaped fort occupies an outcropping over Taytay Bay; from this vantage point, defenders could rake the bay with cannonfire, sinking any foolhardy pirate ships within range. Climb up the stairs into the fort’s upper levels and you arrive at what looks like a small park, with benches overlooking Taytay Bay and presently dormant cannons still looking out to the sea, as if still on guard against pirates.

A recent PHP4.5 million ($90,000) renovation effort is currently restoring the chapel in the middle of the fort and introducing shops and an interactive museum to the experience.

The town of Taytay is located some 136 miles north of the capital Puerto Princesa, and can be visited as a detour on the way to (or from) El Nido. Location on Google Maps.08of 09

Conceptualized in 1971 and unveiled to the public the following year, this giant icon was a project of the Baguio Lions Club.

If you’re feeling fierce, have your picture taken next to this majestic beast on your way up to Baguio.

Bridal Veil Falls

You will have to go a bit out of your way to see this natural wonder. The waterfalls are aptly named for resembling long weight veil. Taking a dip isn’t advisable unless you are confident with your swimming skills. The freezing temperature of the waters is also something to take note of too. Nonetheless, it’s a great place to take photos and relax.

Have a tight fist and a sharp eye as you look for a huge bargain on something you’d love to add to your wardrobe. This isn’t an activity you want to rush. There are so many stores and so many styles for sale, so it’s best to allot a few hours (and enlist a few friends) to make the most of your shopping trip.

Shop for non-perishable souvenirs

Venture into the Baguio City Public Market and look for the dry goods section. There’s an entrance right across from Abanao Square. Although we all love peanut brittle and ube, reasonably-priced pieces to redecorate your home with make for a nice change of pace. It’s also a sweet pasalubong gift for your friends and family back at home. Check out the colorful woven placemats and table runners, the pine needle pot holders, and the wooden coasters and wall hangings.

Load up on fruits and veggies

There is no shortage of greens in Baguio, which makes it the perfect place to stock up on vegetables for all of your home cooking. If you’re at a loss due to choice overload, ask around about what’s in season. You’re guaranteed to find at least a few ingredients for a decent salad, which you can top off a with dressing that you can buy in the same vicinity.

La Trinidad is known for supplying strawberries not just to Benguet province, but also to the rest of the country. In 2004, La Trinidad made its mark in the Guinness Book of World Records for baking the world’s largest strawberry cake as part of their Strawberry Festival celebration. You can easily buy a good batch of strawberries there, but visitors are also welcome to take a hands-on approach and pick their own strawberries.

Explore Session Road

At any point along Session Road, you are never more than a few meters away from a convenience store. Walk a little farther and you’re bound to run into a clothing outlet, a hardware store, or a place selling ready-to-wear clothing and accessories. Hit lower Session Road and you’ll find electronics shops with all manner of gadgets and little things that make your gadgets work better or faster. For anything you would need on the fly, you won’t have to stray far from the heart of the city.

Experience a Tree Top Adventure

Thrillseekers will definitely want to add Treetop Adventure to their itinerary. Fly through the air on the Superman zip line or go rappelling and experience a 60-foot freefall.

• The best way to experience Baguio is on foot or public transportation. You can hail a taxi just about anywhere, and most locals will be glad to guide you through the jeepney routes. If you feel like you absolutely need to take your car, drive up in your own vehicle then park it at your hotel or transient house. Commuting around the city is cheap, quick, and easy.
• Getting around Baguio won’t be hard, but it can get quite congested especially during the weekends and holidays. When planning your itinerary, take traffic time into consideration (Waze or Google Maps will be your best friend here!).

WHAT TO WEAR

While it’s known to be the Summer Capital of the Philippines, Baguio is known for its relatively cold weather compared to other cities. This is because the city is located in the mountains of Benguet, Luzon. Baguio sits approximately 1,540 meters (5,050 feet) above sea level.

Lightweight clothes will only be comfortable for a few hours a day—around mid-morning to afternoon to be exact. Any time before or after that, be sure to have a jacket on hand. Baguio is also a great place to break out your leggings, bonnets, scarves, and gloves, especially from November to February, which is the coldest months.

Some destinations like the parks will require you to do a lot of walking. Don a pair of practical shoes and the hills and stairs will be much easier to climb. For trips between May and October, rain boots and umbrellas will also come in handy when you brave those afternoon showers.

BAGUIO HOTELS

Baguio offers a wide range of accommodations that cater to the budget-conscious to luxury travelers. The Manor at Camp John Hay is considered the No #1 Hotel in Baguio for its luxurious lodge-style amenities and ideal location inside an iconic tourist destination.

Around 60 kilometers away from Manila is an underrated city hiding in plain site. Most travelers don’t think to hop on over from Manila to Tagaytay for a few days in-between flights, so take advantage of the unspoiled culture and local prices while it’s still a somewhat secret spot on the western trail.

Tagaytay isn’t what you would imagine when you think of a Filipino city. While there is public transportation and the occasional traffic jam, Tagaytay is a city full of nature. The outdoor parks, restaurants, and even shopping centers take advantage of the stunning scenery by building around rolling hills and green ridges so that every experience feels like you’re still one with nature.

The main attraction in Tagaytay Come is the incredible Ta’al Volcano, which is truly a natural anomaly that will leave you scratching your head.

Let’s explore the best things to do in Tagaytay City:

1. Taal Volcano and Lake

Taal Volcano And Lake

Taal Volcano and Lake are the pride and joy of Tagaytay City. With 33 eruptions, it’s the second most active volcano in the Philippines. It’s signature is a huge cratered mouth and hilly sides that spill out into the Lake. But look a little bit closer and you’ll see that within the cratered mouth is a whole other Lake. And within that Lake, is another island.

Did you follow that? There is a volcano on a Lake, which has a Lake inside the volcano that has an island inside that Lake. If you’re still confused, that’s understandable. You’ll have to visit to see for yourself.

2. Our Lady of Manaoag at Tierra de Maria

Our Lady Of Manaoag At Tierra De Maria

If you haven’t already figured it out, the Philippines is a very religious country and therefore, has gone to great lengths to design, construct, and erect some of the most magnificent religious shrines in Asia.

You don’t have to be religious to find the ‘Our Lady of Manaoag’ fascinating. This 50ft statue of Mary, the Mother of God, is a spot where Filipinos worship and take photos for their Facebook. There is a small church temple next to the statue with a flea market collection of a Jesus statue on the cross, photos of the prophet, and twinkling Christmas lights strung about.Check out the recommended hotels in Tagaytay City, The Philippines

3. Breakfast at Antonio’s

Antonio’s

Go for the food, stay for the views. Breakfast at Antonio’s is a two-in-one must-visit destination in Tagaytay City.

While they do offer incredible breakfast options such as homemade pork sausage and honey-infused Golden Waffles, we can’t recommend the sandwiches enough. Using quality deli meat and gourmet cheeses, you can order creations such as the Grilled Smoked Ham with Gruyere and Cheddar Cheese that will make you think you’ve died and gone to heaven.

All the while, you’re seated next to a large window overlooking the Ta’al Volcano and Lake which ties the entire experience together.

4. Picnic Grove

Picnic Grove

Carry on from the ‘Our Lady of Manaoag’ to the Picnic Grove nearby. The grove is a picturesque and idyllic space for families and couples to come for a picnic (duh), to fly a kite, or get some exercise. From the top of the sprawling grassy hill, it looks like if you were to roll down you’d fly off into the water and land amongst the islands in the distance. The views are incomprehensibly beautiful.

There are tons of activities here such as horseback riding, ziplining, swimming, shopping, and cable car riding. You could easily spend the entire day here. There are also restaurants and resto-shops to keep you sustained.

5. Cafe Veranda Cultural Show

Cafe Veranda Cultural Show

Dinner and a show… what more could you want?

Swing by or stay at the Ta’al Vista hotel where you’ll be treated to a 4 course Filipino meal along with a show of talented Filipinas dancing in traditional clothing. The service is fantastic with hardly any wait to be seated and staff that are very attentive to your table.

There is one show at lunch and one at dinner- they perform the same 3 sets so no one is better than the other. If you call ahead, you can reserve a table closest to the performing area.

6. Sky Ranch

Sky Ranch

Who doesn’t love a good ol’ fashioned amusement park? Visit Sky Ranch and feel like a kid again! They have plenty of (well-maintained) rides for you to get your adrenaline pumping.

The Sky Eye Ferris Wheel takes you on a sightseeing tour 63 meters above the ground; the Sky Cruiser is a pedal bike high off the ground where riders pedal on an aerial track to get views of Ta’al Lake and Volcano; the zipline catapults you down a 300-meter long line high above the ground; and that’s just the beginning.

There are tons of rides for kids like little pedal boats in pools and a grand carousel that will make their eyes light up with excitement.

7. Museo Orlina

This music center, amphitheater, art gallery, and art exhibition center is worth a visit when you’re in Tagaytay City.

Puzzle Mansion Bed & Breakfast

If you’ve got the kids with you, the Puzzle Mansion Bed and Breakfast is a great place to stay and/or visit.

In 2012, Puzzle Mansion won an award for the largest collection of jigsaw puzzles in the world. It goes without saying that the extensive collection of configured puzzles is impressive. You’ll see familiar characters such as Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, next to 3D puzzles of scary dinosaurs, puzzles that are true pieces of art.

There is also a big blue pool in the back for guests to use.

9. Peoples Park In The Sky

Spend a day on a hill in the sky at this beautiful Tagaytay City park overlooking the whole city. This highest point in the city, People’s Park in the Sky gives you beautiful views of Ta’al Volcano and the Lake Ta’al.

This quaint hilltop space is adorned with wooden footbridges, gazeboes with a view, bench after bench in a roman-style amphitheater, and a strange life-size pineapple.

The best part, perhaps, is that the high altitude makes for some chilly weather to give you a break from the standard Filipino heat wave.

10. The Bathhouse at Qiwellness Living

The Bathhouse At Qiwellness Living

Trust us, it doesn’t get any more zen than this. Picture soaking in an outdoor hot tub while looing out over the Ta’al volcano and Lake with total peace and tranquility. This center is a place where you can go to reconnect with your soul, take the stress out of your muscles, and press your inner restart button!

Have a glass of wine while sitting under the beautifully lit red pagoda or feel the breeze out on the open-air patio while you dine on world-class dishes.

The Bathhouse at Qiwellness Living is romantic, it’s relaxing, and it’s absolutely one of a kind.

Sonya’s Secret Garden

Restaurant, Bed & Breakfast, Spa, Wedding venue…. Sonya’s Secret Garden does it all and does it well. The setting is magical. Tucked in a tropical garden with flowers all around and teak wood furniture that seamlessly ties it all together, this is the best place in Tagaytay City to come for lunch.

You’ve got to try the ‘Bread & Dips’, which features homemade sesame seed bread from Sonya’s oven with a collection of tapenades such as bruschetta, basil pesto, and fresh green peppercorn in olive oil. In addition, there are fresh pastas, salads, and tenderly cooked proteins. With your meal, you can order bottomless freshly squeezed Dalandan juice and tarragon tea.
