Lake Sebu, South Cotabato




     The first time I had been to Lake Sebu was during my last years in High School in which I attended a science camping which was held there. I was mesmerize by this place the first time I saw it. I kept on looking the wide green lake. It is very visible anywhere you would go at the community of Lake Sebu, South Cotabato. Back then, the place was not yet developed as a tourist spot but there are already a lot of resorts to choose from. The road to the falls is not yet accessible to four-wheel vehicles.
       Several years after, I had been able to visit Lake Sebu. There is already a zipline. The road to the falls had already been developed and the tourism of the community is very much supported by the local government. So before I expose the amazing things you can do and visit in Lake Sebu, here are some details on how you could be able to reach Lake Sebu. If you are from far places, the nearest airport is in General Santos City. After reaching Gen. Santos, you could ride a bus in going to Koronadal and rode a bus again in going to Surallah. From Surallah you could ride a motorcycle or "habal-habal" or passenger van in going to Lake Sebu. It is better if you have a private car in going there or arrange your transportation ahead of time with travel agencies so that they could reserve you a van from the General Santos Airport to Lake Sebu.


      After hours of travel, you would reach Lake Sebu. The main attraction here is there Seven Falls. Only two falls is accessible and the rest could be viewed while riding the zipline. The picture above is the first falls. This is the first falls that is accessible and where you should pay the entrance pay of P20 pesos. This is also where the zipline will start which costs P250 per person.


      This is the second falls and the tallest among the seven falls of Lake Sebu. You could not really come very near to this falls because of the strong current and you will get wet with the water blown by the wind. This is located few meters from the first falls and this is where the zipline ends. The beauty of this falls is mesmerizing and very gigantic to look at. What amazes me on this spot is its surroundings carved by the water blown by the wind. This is what it looks like. 


Here are some things you must not forget on your stay at Lake Sebu:
> Visit the Seven Falls
> Ride the Zipline
> Have a boat ride
> Eat the different dishes of the famous Lake Sebu "tilapia" fish
> Buy some T'boli native products or other souvenirs as a remembrance
> Don't forget to take a lot of pictures

Have a safe trip and enjoy your stay at Lake Sebu, South Cotabato.

    Wow! those photos are amazing! I hope soon or later I'll see all those waterfalls in my own eyes. I want to go to travel so bad. But I need good job for it. And for good job I need a good cv. Because mine isn't working, obviously. Hope that https://resumescentre.com/ will help me to proofread my cv and make it better.

Palwan: Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center

Image
     This is Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center or also called Palawan Crocodile and Nature Park. It is located in Palawan City that if you would be staying within the city, it is very much accessible. You would only have to ride  a tricycle, which is the number one means of transportation in Palawan City,  and you would be able to reach this place.      Yup,that's me, facing my fear and holding a baby crocodile. We have this session while waiting for our time to enter the crocodile facility and the park. Well this picture taking session is not free, this is worth twenty pesos and if you want to purchase a copy of the picture it is worth around 150-200 pesos.       This is what welcomes you inside the facility where a short orientation is to be given by the staff. This crocodile is used to be the largest crocodile captured in the Philippines, not anymore because of the captivity of Lolong. These are fresh water crocodiles around four to six year

Land Trip from Manila to Davao

            It was a long trip that took two days and two nights of travel. We had been able to have a land trip from Manila to Davao because my companions bought new cars and preferred to transport the cars by having a land trip than shipped it. From Manila to Davao, we had been able to sail in two ferry boats, pass by to different cities, travelled miles of road and pass the three parts of the Philippines, from Luzon, Visayas and to Mindanao.       Our travel started specifically from Paranaque, Manila and we don't have a map with us but we make sure to look for signboards. From Paranaque, we took the SLEX road to Calamba and to Batangas. We pass by San Jose and San Pablo City. Then, we entered the Quezon Province and pass by the municipalities and cities of Candelaria, Sariaya, Lucena City, Quezon Forest Park, Gumaca, Lopez, and Caluag. The most unforgettable road on this part is the Quezon Forest Park which is a DENR preserved park. Mt. Mayon       We then ent

Barugkot & Lampaki, Kimarayag, Pigcawayan, Cotabato

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
