Baguio City - Still a cool place to visit this sizzling summer

It’s really hot in Tagum City today despite the fact that it still has plenty of trees around. This is because El Niño phenomenon is beating not just our city but the rest of the Philippine Island. (sighed)

I wish I can just go back again to Baguio at one snap of my finger since it’s the only place I know in Philippines that can somehow keep me off from too much heat. Though El Niño also caused drought to the City, at least it is less scorching than any other places in this country.

Anyway, there are many places that we can visit in Baguio City. And luckily I was able to go to see some of them. Check out my photos!

Green and Wide: Strawberry Farm at La Trinidad Benguet

Serene. Green. Scenic

The Strawberry Fruit! Yum!

Burnham Park: Is located at the heart of the City. It has a man-made lake where you can try boating.

That's us at the center photo. Behind that handsome guy (which happen to be my cousin) is me. Hahahaha! - Boating rate @ 160/hour.

Mines View Park: This is the Gold and Copper Mines of Benguet

You can rent a costume for your souvenir photo at 10.00 PHP. Look! I tried it, it's fun!

The Wright Park: Is located in front of the main gate of the Mansion

Of course I tried the famous Pony Ride. Awesome!

Botanical Garden: Is just located at the downtown area, between Teachers Camp and Pacdal Circle

We rock the tranquil place. No success! It's just to quiet and peaceful....

The Philippine Military Academy: The First Military Institution in the Philippines, located at the heart of the City.

We failed to take away the air craft. Hahahaha!

Camp John Hay: It is located somewhere in the South Eastern Part of Baguio City. It has Shopping Centers,Hotels and many other attractions.

Enjoying world class view at Camp John Hay. Not to mention, the perfect climate :)

And Yeah! I sooooooooo like the climate and the nature.

Zipline Adventure: Zip City Davao

So this is one of my favorite outdoor adventures – Zipline! I would like to praise the instigator of this awesome thrill. By the way, ZipCity in Davao is the first zipline business that offers zip at night in which the view that you will see is the City lights and some nearby attractions. It is located in Hilltop Davao which is few meters away from Dencios Hilltop.

How to get there:
1. You can ride a taxi (more convenient). Just inform the cab driver that you will rock ZipCity at Hilltop. Hahaha! Seriously, they can take you there with their eyes closed. Kidding! Well, yeah most of the drivers already know how to get there since it’s highly recognized traveler’s spot.

2. You can ride single motor (Locals call it Habal-Habal) at Shrine hills Matina (Davao) Crossing. I just don’t know how much they charge for each person, you can try to negotiate though. -wink-

The person in white shirt is the edge stander. He will assist you in wearing your safety gears. He will make sure you are safe to go across that 320 meters long Zip cable by checking if you wear your harness correctly as well as your safety hat. And by the way, that gorgeous girl in photo is my friend Yvess :)

You might be wondering how much they charged us for that. They charged us 300 Pesos each for a single zip and a complimentary ticket worth 100 pesos that can be used at Dencio's Restaurant or Crocodile Park. Not bad really! :)


I guess I already gave you guys enough information for you to see and try Zipline. And Hey! Of course... the experience will be much more fun if you will crack it with your friends :)

Summer Is Here!

Aqua fun adventure is one of the most favorite escapades of Dabaweños since the birth of Maxima-Aquafun in Samal Island. Aquafun adventure could be one of the exciting treats you can give to your family and friends this summer, or maybe a nice summer surprise for your special someone!

Maxima Aquafun offers a wide selection of aquafun adventure like the famous Tarpaulin Slide, snorkeling, kayaking, fishing and of course swimming to its deep blue sea. You can also try the Canopy walk as a plus.

It’s very simple to get there. To reach Samal Island, you can ride a motorboat/pump boat at Magsaysay Park at Leon Garcia St., Davao City or you can try the barge at Sasa Wharf if you have a car. Soon as you get the seaport, a lot of “Habal-Habal” (Single Motor) Drivers would approach you. You can just tell them you’re going to Maxima-Aquafun and they can take you there in no stress!

Aquafun Adventure: The Tarpaulin Slide

This is The Giant Tarpaulin Slide. It measures 40 meters long, 1 meter wide slide. During the glide you will feel the water dash in your face and you will only wish for it's ending :) But hey! the experience is really great trust me. -wink-

There will be someone who will assist you before you jump and glide. Bear in mind that you need to wait for the signal before sliding to avoid accidents.

By the way, just in case you are curious about how we did the slide :) We manage to keep our hands crossed in our chest, our legs set comfortably together and relax to get the perfect splash and not hurt ourselves.
