When I booked my 97 (yes, ninety seven) Pesos roundtrip airfare to Ozamis, the only thing that’s in my mind that time is MOAP or the Misamis Occidental Aquamarine Park.
I want to swim with the dolphins!
Finally a few weeks back, I had the rarest oppurtunity to visit MOAP and and finally, swim with the cuddly dolphins! I also got the chance to pose with a large sea turtle. =)

It’s my second time in Cagayan de Oro, but this is my first time to actually set foot in Vicente de Lara park. It was previously known as the Mc Arthur Park, named after the US General who landed in Cagayan de Oro after escaping from Corregidor.
The park, which looks like it has been newly revonated is located right in front of the Misamis Oriental Provincial Capitol.
The Park is a popular place among the locals. It has a well paved path for joggers.
Visiting Ozamis City will never be complete without visiting the Cotta Fort. The Cotta Fort serves as the main shield of Ozamis during the artime era, and as the first line of defense to prevent the enemies from entering the Panguil Bay. Just like the Fort Pilar in Zamboanga, One side of the Cotta Fort has been converted into altar here an image of the Virgin mary as enshrined.
The Gardens of Malasag in Cagayan de Oro City is a popular tourist destination. It is located on the slopes of Cugman Watershed which gives you a better view of the Macajalar Bay and the area near Bukidnon.
The Gardens of Malasag is owned and operated by the Philippine Tourism. It gives the visitors a glipse of the rich flora and ethno Filipino Heritage of the Northern Mindanao Region. From time to time, locals dressed in their traditional attires would go out and play local instruments in Malasag.
This is my second time to witness the Kadayawan sa davao Festival, and just like before, I totally enjoyed my Kadayawan experience. There were 22 groups that competed for the Streetdance competition and over 30 floats for the Floral float Parade.
The weekend was a blast! We had very good weather while in Davao, The food is really good, and the locals are very friendly. i cant wait to b back in Davao City soon!

A few weeks back I was in Cebu Philippines to cover the 3rd Pasigarbo sa Sugbo Festival of Festivals Competition. Aside from covering the event, another Cebu landmark I got the chance to visit is the Mactan Shrine.
I have been to Cebu a lot of time. In fact, I already lost count. But this is just my second time to visit the Mactan Shrine in Lapu Lapu City. Check out my BYAHILO post about the Mactan Shrine soon!
Mga bai! Hir na me sa Cebu Provincial Capitol! I have been here several times. But usually, I go here every August to claim my Media ID for the annual celebration of the Pasigarbo sa Sugbo Festival of Festivals which is held in Mandaue City.
I always love the design of the Cebu Capitol. This is where the Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia holds office. It is also here where the Province’s Kilometer Zero is located.
Last weekend I was in Cebu to cover the annual Pasigarbo sa Sugbo Festival of Festivals that was held in Mandaue City. We stayed for 3D2N at Be Resorts in Lapu Lapu city in Mactan Island Philippines..
The place is really good. I love the view of the pool and the beach. The furniture at the hotel lobby is really amazing! And the food is great too!
Check out my BYAHILO review of the Be Resorts Mactan. they are currently holding a contest and will be giving a 3D2N stay at the resort + airfare!
Last week I was in manila Ocean Park to attend the launch of the Emerging Business Destinations of the Philippines. This is not the first time that I have been to the Manila Ocean Park. I could have enjoyed the Oceanarium more, only if its not raining, as some parts of the park is partly open.
And the food at Makansutra is a must try too! I always love their Chicken Rice and Milo Dinosaur!
I love Nagtabon Beach! It is an off the beaten track destinations only a few knows about it. Nagtabon’s sand is very light brown in color and has a very fine texture. There were a few cottages for those who want to enjoy the cool blue waters or those who simply love to bask in the sun.
Nagtabon Beach is located in Puerto Princesa City, some 45 minutes away from the city center. Check out my detailed post about Nagtabon Beach in BYAHILO soon!
