A few facts about this mountain is it was named after the Osmena Clan in Cebu. It is also the highest mountain in the Queen City of the South with an altitude of 3281 ft. It is popular because of it's superb view overlooking the city and the mountain ranges that form like small chocolate hills of Bohol. Definitely, it's recommended for Selfie and Groupie pictures. Oh yeah! Kidding aside, this is already one of the must-see tourist spots in Sugbu. Scroll down for more info! REVIEW  The experience was a mixed of nerve-racking f

MACTAN ISLAND HOPPING

Have you already planned where to go on your summer weekends? Do you have any place in mind to spend your summer days? Hmmnn... you might be interested in hopping different Islands around Mactan, Cebu. We just had ours last weekend. That was a blast! Let me share with you our whole day escapade in Lapu-lapu City Cebu. First things first, you need to consider the weather condition and the date. It is a must that you do a little research on the weather forecast before the date you intend to do such activity. Otherwise, it would ruin your day and peers too! However, if your pals are up for a rain or shine escapade then go as long as the coastguard permits the pump boats to sail. Once the date is already set, you can look for a Travel and Tour agency that offers a great package. We chose the affordable Everyday Summer - Island Hopping and Tours . We picked the smaller boat for PHP 2700 since we were only a group of 10 pax. We bought our own food and rented a van for th

Summer is fast approaching and everyone is looking for a place where we can break free from the heat of the sun and hang out with buddies. If you're up for an adventure of river trekking and climbing such watery rocks, then add AGUINID falls on your checklist. Aguinid is located in Samboan South Of Cebu and it is almost 4 - 5 hours away from the city depending on the traffic status. My travel buddy and I took the bus at the South bus Terminal going to Bato. The waiting time to ride a bus is half an hour or more.  When we reached Bato Terminal, a close pal picked us up. This was a side trip though since our purpose was to attend a thanksgiving party there. From Bato terminal, AGUINID is only about 20 - 30 minutes away by motorcycle. If you have a car, then it's a 4-hour drive from Cebu city. To cut the story short, it was easy for us to locate the place since there was a signage going to Aguinid Falls. It was raining when we arrived but still there were many tourists

Liloan Bagacay Point Lighthouse

It was Saturday and I didn't have any plans in going out of town. However, I was bored and needed to break free from the hustle and bustle of the city life. So I decided to go North and Liloan came to mind. It was a sunny afternoon when I arrived in SM consolacion. While waiting for my brother,  I strolled around the not- so-crowded mall. My brother arrived at around 4PM and that was a perfect time to visit the Lighthouse. Bagacay Point Lighthouse is one of the most popular landmark in Liloan Cebu located in Brgy. Catarman, Liloan beside Amara Subdivison. It is overlooking the sea and it's on top of the 0.5 hectare government land. It was our first time and I was not familiar with the place. We went there with no GPS or whatsoever but just asked the locales in the vicinity. How did we get there? My starting Point was in IT Park where I work. Then I rode 04L Jeepney going to SM Cebu City.  Beside Sungold building, there are jeepneys going to Consolacion o
