Anawangin Cove

Zambales is a province known for its beaches.  Since it is relatively near Manila, it is an ideal getaway for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. 

Apo Island, Negros Oriental

We were all excited to visit Apo Island.  We booked a tour to Apo Island from Coco Grove Beach Resort in Siquijor.  The tour costs Php 1,700 per person, inclusive of transportation, snorkeling equipment, and lunch.  At first, we thought that Php 1,700 was very expensive for a tour.  However, we were surprised that we will be going to Apo Island using a yacht.  Not bad, we will be traveling in style for only Php 1,700.

Siquijor: Transit to Apo Island

Our Apo Island trip was booked through Coco Grove Beach Resort in San Juan, Siquijor. Thus, we had no option but to visit Siquijor, an island famous for its mystic traditions.

Bais City, Negros Oriental

We woke up at around 4:30 in the morning and prepared ourselves for our journey to Bais City.  We took a trike from our hotel to the Ceres Bus Terminal in Dumaguete City.  We hopped into a Ceres Bus bound for Bais and paid Php 40.00 per person.   Travel time between Dumaguete and Bais is one hour.

Zambales: Potipot Island

During the first week of March, my colleagues booked a trip to Potipot Island thru sulit.com.  The trip was scheduled on March 27, 2010.  I had reservations in joining them since the bar exam results was rumored to be released the day before, March 26.  However, being the lakwatsero that I am, I decided to go.  We paid Php 2,000.00 per person for the trip.  Sometimes, it pays to travel in a group of ten or more persons since it becomes cheaper than DIY travel.
