The Philippines sits amid the vast ocean with the highest concentration of marine life. In fact, we have here the center of the center of marine biodiversity. That is why it is a great opportunity to explore its underworld which is equally, if not more exciting than what it offers above sea.
I have long been dreaming of exploring the underworld. Learning how to dive, acquiring a PADI license and diving in Tubattaha are in my to-do list. But due to tight work schedule, my plan to enroll in an Open Water Course has been pushed back again and again and again.
In the heart of Luzon are the provinces of Cordillera, famous for their unique architectural masterpieces that can be traced back thousand years ago - the Rice Terraces. These are carefully hand carved mountainsides that look like giant steps forming stairways to the sky. The most famous of them are concentrated in the province of Ifugao, and Banaue’s Rice Terraces, being accessible is the most popular of all.
Not so far from Banaue is the town of Bangaan, home of the Bangaan Rice Terraces cluster that was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List in December 1995 as a Living Cultural Heritage of the people of Cordillera.
From the top of the Bangaan Rice Terraces, one will witness the unobstructed view of the beauty of these hand carved mountains and the village below. Experience the surreal feeling of walking on one of the wonders of our modern world, trek to Bangaan Rice Terraces and Village and see the marvelous creation of the ancient Ifugaos.

The narration talked about the beauty of the country, the hardiness and optimism of the Filipinos, the culture of Christianity by the conquistadores and the ancient Anitos, the bounty of the earth and the seas. Judging from the video, what they have shown are all the beautiful and often overlook side of the Philippines.
Last year’s Survivor France location was in Palawan, also in the Philippines.
Intramuros, Manila’s Walled City is set to undergo a renewed restoration plan with Intramuros Administration’s new team headed by Anna Maria Harper.
The plan is to clean-up and preserve the historic district, which includes structural repairs, removing squatters and other eye sores, and making it more secure. All these, in order to attract more tourists and to bring back the recognition and the glory it deserve.
Early Sagada breeze woke us up at 0600H. Most of the town is covered by fog. We took our breakfast and prepared for the trek to the big falls. At 0730H, we met Mang Perry in the municipal hall to assist us again, this time, in trekking the Bomod-Ok Falls. The standard guide fee for the trek is P600.00 for a group of one to ten persons. We hired a van to transport us to the jump-off point and back, the van costs P550.00. Time stamp was 0800H, when we started the trek down from the jump-off point to the falls. The trek down is easy, we passed by some beautiful Sagada Rice Terraces comparable to Banaue. We couldn’t believe that we were actually walking along the trails of the rice terraces. We also saw the Dap-Ay, a Sagadan ritual place.
