Crocodile Farm



Up close and personal to dinosaur's cousin. The crocodile farm in Davao educates as it promotes well-needed information to wash away our fears of the reptile. But a word of caution, a respectful distance is all it wants.

Patahian



One of the country's famous and talented fashion designers holds court in Davao. Dojie Batu's atelier is a fashionista's shrine in the south. Go and get a hold of one of his marvelous creations.

Jack's Ridge



Once an important outpost of retreating Japanese forces during WW2, Matina Hill now offers everything a discerning diner would look for in a restaurant and coffee shop. With a commanding view of Davao City and the Gulf, it is heaven on earth.

Apo View Hotel



The grand dame of all hotels in Mindanao still offers old era hospitality and service. Food prepared with care is served daily, while rooms are kept clean for guests who seek a much-need respite after a day of adventure. We are happy to report that APO VIEW still reigns supreme.

The Beauty of Davao



Beautifully illustrated travel books sing hymns of praise to the beauty of Davao. The peace and discipline of its people and their desire to live in a crime-free environment has become the envy of many. Amidst the backdrop of the majestic Mount Apo, its famous orchids, famed fruits, and world famous resorts, Davao is the idea of a modern day paradise.

There's something magical about Davao that one falls for. It caters to all. Its strategic location can be a drop off point to Mindanao's great hideways. Its boundless energy, grand surroundings, fabled mountains and enticing fruits has indeed open up a whole new sensorial experience; a love affair with a city that caprivates as it enthralls.

Maribago Blue Water Beach Resort

Casa Verde



Sometimes a detour can find you in a remarkable place. By sheer luck, I found myself eating in this converted turn of the century house cum restaurant that offers amazing melt-in-the-mouth steak.

Snapshot Cebu



Cebu, the regal city of the south, has come a long way from its storied past and its much hailed success story. Today it is famed as a culinary destination, for its verdant hills, and inviting beaches just two hours away from the city center.

A lot of us are already familiar with Cebu probably from the many "made in" marks on certain products, but there is much more to the island than dried mangoes and fish. When planning a trip to Cebu, arrive before sunrise, so you can wake up in paradise, dine like royalty in the afternoon, shop like ther's no tomorrow, enjoy the exuberant nightlife and retire in a palace.

The island truly lives up to its royal title. Managing to face the advent of modernity while maintaining a firm grasp of its history.

Let me take you to its charm, to the very core of excitement and to a place streaks are served like they used too.

Basking In Boracay


Summer is about spending time creating memories with friends, loved ones, or even enjoying some alone time in toasty weather.

Boracay was love at first sight. Its pristine waters still beckon of beautiful memory. Everything said about its island life and its equally famous nightlife still remains the same, if not better. Far from becoming a fad destination, new facilities have sprung from every destination to accommodate the growing number of Boracay aficionados. Thankfully, these facilities have been mindful of the need to respect and protect its waters and land.

Giving you the best guide to island life, it urges you to celebrate the warmth of the sun, the company of friends and families and to take a different look at the familiar and to be mindful of the carbon footprints we leave behind.

Have the most wondrous summer of 2009.
