Lebak, Sultan Kudarat


         Accompanying my husband in a church event for men, I was able to reach Lebak. It is a coastal town of Sultan Kudarat which is at the southern part of the Philippines. It is famous for its long shoreline and nice beaches. We been able to reach this place after five hours of travel from our place taking up the Upi road. It was a nice travel because we went there together with the group of fathers in our church. 
          Lebak beach is really beautiful. It has wide shoreline, big waves and fine sand. It is also a good source of fresh fish that the common source of income here is fishing. Food here is not a problem because even if you would go fishing, few meters away from the shoreline, within minutes you would be able to catch fish. If you don't want fishing, you could buy newly caught fishes at the fishermen nearby at a lower amount. 


           One of the unforgettable scenes that I was able to encounter here is the scene of the fishermen pushing their big boat. The first time I arrived at Lebak, I was wondering how those big boats been able to be at the shoreline when it should be at sea. It was there when I was able to know that group of fishermen who rode on that boat will push it to the shoreline to be able to reach its safe destination. I really admired their unity.


        These lovely sea turtles will always be remembered everytime I think about Lebak. They are taken care of by the homeowners of the place where we stayed at Lebak. According to them, these sea turtles were wash out to the shoreline after the storm that they are taking care of it. They were so lovely and were not afraid of humans. I had a great time taking some pictures of them and even some of our companion carried them and took a picture with them. 
         Lebak is really a nice place. Hope you could travel there as well and have unforgetable experiences the same way I do.

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

Image
            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
