Magpupungko, Siargao | The Sitter

7. March 2011

Some of the more precious things in life come in small packages. The smaller or rarer things are, the more precious they become. Add temporary to the equation and that rare valuable thing becomes Gollum’s my precioussssss. And this is what I imagine Magpupungko to be. I don’t want to go into the etymology of [...]

Welcome to Rali’s Grill and Bar, home of the best REAL burger in town. So says the sign in this roadside restaurant. I’m having my second breakfast here in Subic. The first breakfast occured 2 hours earlier along the NLEX. Don’t get me started. I wasn’t exactly here to take them (Rali’s) to task on [...]

I’m going back to my home province again in Agusan Del Norte after almost six months here in Manila. Not that I will be going back there permanently, I just need to recharge my energy so I can take on a new phase in my corporate career. It’s strange how one place can really grow [...]

The number of hours that the hostage drama which took place yesterday near the Luneta Park in Metro Manila lasted for eleven hours. It took less than that for the Hong Kong authorities to express their displeasure and dismay over how the entire thing was handled by the Philippine authorities. Hongkong has now blacklisted the [...]

Deconstructing Intramuros | A New Look At An Old Place

Intramuros is one of the historical sites in Metro Manila that continue to attract tourists. It’s most notorious claim to fame is that it was the last hang out of Dr. Jose Rizal, Philippine’s National Hero, before he was fed hot lead by the Spanish conquistadores just outside of Intramuros’ walls. Unbeknownst to most non-history [...]

Inland Fishing In Metro Manila

15. August 2010

Inland fishing is one of the more available pursuits when you’re in Manila. The absence of readily accessible fishing spots in the Metro is one of the reasons why those who love to fish, go for pond fishing or inland fishing. Pond fishing is not just limited to the small square of brackish water that [...]

Fishing Memories

Growing up in a small coastal town in the Philippines, I spent my early childhood years cutting classes to bathe in rivers. The weekends were spent with an early morning swim in the sea. I didn’t have any idea that there were white sand beaches then. Our beaches in our part of Northern Mindanao were anything but white, but it didn’t make a difference to a young kid like me. All I knew was how much fun I had floating on the water, and baking under the sun. I didn’t even have to put on any sunblock or sunscreen. Sunburn was something that came naturally if I overdid swimming so I always knew when to stop.

Lake Mainit Part 2

I’ve gone back to Lake Mainit bearing with me a better camera. And this time, I hope the pictures will be much much better. I still see a lot of potential for this place. The province only has to spend a little more time developing this area as a tourist destination and it should be a good source of livelihood for the people in this area.

It’s been more than six months since I last traversed the road leading to Cagwait White Beach. I was bitching non stop then because the roads were just atrocious. Muddy, unfinished, and totally washed out. Imagine my surprise when driving along the same roads yesterday, everything was paved from San Francisco, Agusan Del Sur to Tandag, Surigao Del Sur.
