Isn’t it magnificent? A view from Barugkot Barangay Kimarayag, Pigcawayan, Cotabato. A beautiful scenery from my very own hometown Pigcawayan. We were able to discover this place because my husband’s relatives owned some property here.  A view of the Liguasan Marsh, surrounding towns, Pigcawayan, Libungan and Cotabato City’s lights could be seen during nighttime. Here is Mt. Akir-Akir, a well known hiking destination here, the highest peak in North Cotabato. This is the view from Lampaki, Brgy. Kimarayag, Pigcawayan, Cotabato. Who would have thought there would be a very beautiful sunset here at Barugkot? A little birdwatching activity along the way. Another beautiful sunset with the view of Bungo island. A time-lapse video of the sunset. Most of all, leave nothing but memories. Taking pictures is savoring love intensely, every hundredth of a second - Marc Riboud

    In my recent travel, I was able to capture along the way an amazing mode of transportation. It was a single motorcycle with seven passengers on it and there are still space for more passengers. We are able to passby this along Cagayan de  Oro - Butuan Road. I was lucky enough to capture this while both our vehicles are moving. There are really a lot of things that will surprise you along the way while traveling the islands of Philippines. It is really more fun in the Philippines.

                   Kalamansig is a town from the southern part of the Philippines. It was already far but a beautiful white beach was hidden there. Our travel to Kalamansig was materialize when our church mates who were fond of motorbikes invited us to a road trip to Kalamansig.                        It was really an enjoyable motorbike ride with the smooth and curve road in going there. Though it was a bit tiresome but this view awaits us there.          Since some parts of the beach is private property, you must ask permission to the owners first but others goes there directly by boats.         I was able to see there a huge Acacia tree and I could not help myself taking a photo of it.          Well that's our ride and though we were able to encounter minor accidents, we still be able to enjoy the place, relax and had an awesome road trip.
