P344 for 6 pax

Super Mura!!!

We didn't have our itinerary for we already know the things we need to do hahah! it's on our heads!!! Maybe because we're already used to travelling and all. And I'm from Rizal also.

We decided to depart from Manila to Binangonan Saturday night around 7pm after work, but unfortunately due to heavy traffic and it's really hard to commute because of the super looooooooong line of people commuting in Starmall Crossing jeepney station,  we decided to grab a Car! it's quite expensive but very convenient at the same time, anyway, we don't have a choice coz we need to get to Binangonan port at 9pm as it's the last trip. Also, we really had fun while we are travelling despite the heavy traffic because it's been months since we last saw each other hahah, we also bullied our driver while travelling he's quite cute and young tho hahah!.

Anyway, thanks to Grab we were able to make to Binangonan port at exactly 9pm!!!! Amazing hahah!

Ngiting nakahabol sa last tirp hahaha!
When we finally arrived at the Brgy. Janosa, jump off we were told that we can't do a night hike because they were currently looking for a criminal who killed a person nearby brgy. that was allegedly hiding in the mountains :'( so instead of spending the night in the campsite of the mountain we will be staying in the brgy. hall.  So there, we started to fix our things and cook food for dinner and all. So in the morning, we will start the trek to the summit.

After an hour we were able to get to the campsite and prepare for our lunch.

And here comes our super kulit trip at the summit! hahahah!




We started to descent at 2pm and arrived at the brgy. hall at 3pm, the last trip to Binangonan port is 4pm so we have to hurry to catch the last trip ahahh! we got 10 mins. each to wash up hahah!








After few hours we got to Binangonan port, it's tiring but worth it!!! The view of the mountain is so refreshing, the trail is not that hard, advisable for beginners, plus!!!! you just need to spend less than 500 pesos OVERNIGHT! for this trip! hahah COOL!!!!
Anyway, it's easy to get here and also easy to ask for locations plus it's also near in Manila! You better visit this place!
Thanks for reading!

Tipid Cebu Tour 2k18

Cebu is one of the most popular places to visit in the Philippines nowadays, there are a lot of tourist spots that you can pay a visit there especially in South Cebu like Oslob, Kawasan Falls, Tumalog Falls, OsmeΓ±a Peak and Moalboal which are the places we visited in our Cebu tour, but aside from this there are a lot of places that you can include in your tour when you have a lot of time, coz in our case we only had 2 days to tour South Cebu. If you also have like a week vacation you can even visit North Cebu particularly Bantayan Island, San Remigio which has the longest shoreline in Cebu, Malapascua "The Little Boracay" of Cebu and a lot more. But I will only write about our South Cebu tour, for now, soon we will visit North Cebu and write about it as well. We booked our plane ticket 2 months before our tour, luckily PAL has a seat sale that time, so we grab the chance and book our flight for February 23 to 26, 2018, which costs P2,700+ per head Round trip!!!! sup
