Kidapawan, North Cotabato: Lake Agco



       Lake Agco is located at the foot of Mt. Apo. I knew everyone who climbed Mt. Apo knew this place. It has been the camp site and stop over place of climbers of Mt. Apo. It was my second time to visit this place. On my latest visit, I went here with my husband's family. Below is the list of the fees and rates of their amenities. Photo courtesy of my bubbly niece. :)


        Lake Agco is at the heart of a rainforest and since Mt. Apo is the tallest mountain in the Philippines, Lake Agco is also in  a higher ground. The weather here is always gloomy and most often there are fogs. The hotsprings of Lake Agco is really conducive for its weather.   Below is the view from the entrance of Lake Agco. 

       
       Though it is cold out there, there are still a lot of communities here. They already get used to the weather and to the foggy surroundings.

     
    Mt. Apo is a dormant volcano but it still emits hot steam.The photo below had been the source of hot steam for the steam bathhouse and the Jacuzzi.


     As always don't forget to take some pictures. It is really nice to visit here with your loved ones and relatives. The picture below is in the Jacuzzi pool of Lake Agco. Hope you enjoy your stay here.. Till next time..

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

Bankruptcy

         It is sad to see beautiful establishments closed because of bankruptcy. There is a famous hotel here in Davao that all of a sudden shuts down. Every time I passed by on this tall building I couldn't stop myself from wondering how this thing happen. Maybe the management did not handle it well that a Bankruptcy Lawyer was already been called. The hotel was one of the highest hotels and operating well. My boss had been a former employee there and he relayed to us that although the hotel is earning well it did not be able to cope up with it expenses and was affected by the increasing dollar exchange rate. The hotel had not been able to pay its employees on time and had been  delayed in paying by six months.           In any business, filing for bankruptcy is the last resort in saving what is left. When a business or a person cannot anymore repay its debts, a legal proceeding which is bankruptcy is done. A bankruptcy petition is commonly filed by debtor or sometimes on behalf o

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
