  • Ang Pambansang T-shirt Launch

    It’s been around since 2006, but it was only last April 30 that Ang Pambansang T-shirt was formally launched.

    Last Saturday, Ivan ManDy ventured out of Manila to take us for a food tour of Taguig’s Bonifacio Global City.

    I was chatting with a reader of mine when she asked me whether it’s better to take a package tour of Siem Reap and Angkor Wat or to arrange everything herself. I remembered I had the same dilemma last year when I was planning my trip. To help me decide, I took to my spreadsheet…

  • Updated Calaguas Travel Guide

    Sorry for the lack of updates on the blog. The weekend has been really crazy. I finally took the Travel Photography class I was supposed to take last August, and I ended up with a bunch of crappy photos. Entirely my fault, I assure you, and not my teacher’s. Anyhoo, I finally unearthed the piece…

  • Baguio: Old favorites and new discoveries

    Last weekend was my fifth visit to Baguio City, and the third one for 2010. My friend Hazel, my travel companion for this trip, was a first timer in Baguio, so I brought her to the usual haunts: Session Road, Camp John Hay, Mines View Park. We also went to places that I’ve never visited…
