Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell hits Manila

By
Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion of the World, Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell came to Manila last September 21, 2008 at the Atrium of SM Mall of Asia from 3pm to 5pm to have an open training session on mixed martial arts. Chuck Liddell showed off his MMA skills with his trainer Ian Parkinson.




After leaving World Trade for "The Franchise Expo 2008", I met my brother Beloy at MOA. After a heavy meal, my brother ask me if we could check out MOA's main event that day...


Host Diane Castillejo graced the said event. Guess who was there too? Dra. Vicky Belo!!! I also saw kuya Jay, an ABS-CBN cameraman from my past shows. Well, I'm not a fan of "The Iceman", but my brother is...It just so happen we were there...right place, right time!






After that crazy event, we did our usual bonding trip - watch movie! I liked Hellboy 2! Lots of adventure, great "love story"...cheesy but interesting...

We actually stayed there for 3 days but I'll just share the places we've seen on the first 2 days since the 3rd day was spent watching the Panagbenga Float Parade.

Pagsanjan Falls: The Php150 Challenge

By

I have lived in Laguna for 19 years but it was only this June 2012 was I able to visit the famous Laguna tourist spot, the Pagsanjan Falls. As much as I enjoyed seeing the falls, the journey, however, was much more memorable than the actual falls itself as we had to endure a 45 minute trek, rappel on a 90 degrees enclosed vertical metal ladder and walk past steep staircases - yeah, this is what you get when availing the cheapest Pagsanjan package . The group was extremely excited when I told them that I included Pagsanjan Falls in the itinerary - a plan that I was forced had to put together within 2 hours. From Villa Sylvia Resort , we hopped from one jeep to another until we reached Pagsanjan Aresi Complex. Asking for directions initially from the locals was a breeze but finding our way to Pueblo El Salvador (the jump off point) proved to be a challenge since all the locals we asked knew only of the usual Php1,250 route, doesn't know where Pueblo El Salvador is or what it

2Go: The New Way to Travel to Boracay

By

Last year should have been my first Boracay trip and my first ever Visayas destination. But then it coincided with the  Malaysia trip so I had no choice but to cancel Boracay. We all know that flying from Manila to Caticlan has proven to be quite expensive and Piso Fare promos can be daunting to book especially if we are a big family plus the scheduling date is also tricky. But when I learned about 2Go (yes, the famous courier service) sailing from Batangas to Caticlan at a very affordable price, I pitched the idea to my parents.  2Go Ship docked at Caticlan Port It took quite some convincing before they finally said yes to the idea that we travel by sea to reach Boracay. They probably pictured a crazy, crowded and noisy pier scenario. Well, I can't blame them since those were also my first ship experiences when I traveled from Manila to General Santos many years back. Most importantly, we'll also be traveling with my sister with special needs and her comfort shoul

Boracay may seem to be an expensive destination. But here's one thing I realized, like many of Philippines finest tourist spots, it can be done on a budget, especially if all you want is to simply enjoy the waters. Afterall, Boracay is really about the powdery sand and the crystal clear waters. 5 members of the family was able to enjoy Boracay in less than Php30,000 (all in!) Feel free to copy our itinerary ^_^
