Kidapawan, North Cotabato: Tawsuvan Eco-Resort


       Tawsuvan Eco-Resort is an eco-resort at the foot  of Mt. Apo.It has a beautiful falls in a rain forest. This has also been a camping ground for the climbers of Mt. Apo and for other tourists. It was an adopted place by the University of Southern Mindanao wherein they beautify and improved the place as well as construct some amenities to it. Below is the beautiful falls of Tawsuvan Eco-resort.



          Since Tawsuvan is at the foot of Mt. Apo, it is on a higher ground with a cooler temperature. That is why a lot of campers are in here during summer and stays here for a couple of days. As an observation, they brought along their tents, their air bed, some cooking wares and a lot of food. Of course, they did not forget to bring along thick clothes, jackets, socks and blankets to fight the cold. 


      If you want to go at the top of the falls, you could do so but be sure that you are physically fit because you would be catching your breath while climbing. When I did it, I think I had three pauses   while climbing just to catch my breath but it is very dangerous to do so because it is very steep that you must immediately continue climbing and be very careful not to slip. So here is the view of the falls at the top. 


       Eventhough the water is so cold, we did not slip the opportunity to swim at the falls. We will not put to waste our discounted entrance fee of 25 pesos per head by not swimming around.lol.Well, at first it is really cold but as you stay longer your body temperature will adjust to it wherein you  will surely enjoy swimming even if the water is cold. 


        In every place I had been to, I always took a lot of pictures as a remembrance. This has been my favorite picture of all the pictures I took in Tawsuvan. I really swim near the falls just to have this picture and thanks to my supportive husband who took this picture.

        
        The trip to Tawsuvan had been a memorable one. It has also been an enjoyable family summer getaway. The next time I would go here, I would like to stay longer and enjoy the place. Hope you could visit this place too. Have fun and enjoy!

Palwan: Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center

     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
