Zamboanga Trip: Gorgeous Merloquet Falls

The day before I left Zamboanga, I was able to visit the gorgeous Merloquet Waterfalls in Barangay Sibulao. This was one of the main highlights during my trip to this side of Mindanao known as Asia’s Latin Cty.

I initially thought there were only two of us going to Merloquet. Jana and I were planning to take a bus to the junction, and then hire a motorcycle (habal-habal) to the falls. Fortunately, Jana’s family also expressed interest. We hired a jeepney from the city to the destination instead.

The 2-hour trip to the junction was a scenic route of plantation fields and mountains. I also noticed that there were many Philippine National Police (PNP) checkpoints for security reasons.

One More Week in Dungun, Malaysia

I haven’t blogged for quite some time. I became busy with other types of work that I failed to update this site, even just with short stories on what I’ve been to lately.

What’s up then? I’ve got one more week to stay in Dungun, Malaysia. I can’t believe I’ve been here for two months! I’ve become comfortable with the environment and with this welcome change.

Siquijor: Cambugahay Falls

After Catulayan in San Juan, we planned to go to Cambugahay Falls somewhere in the town of Lazi.

We dropped … Read more

Kawasan Falls

A friend texted me if I was free on a Saturday as she will be celebrating her birthday in Kawasan falls and invited me to join them. When I heard that it’s Kawasan falls –> one of the places that one must visit in Cebu just because it’s accessible (just like Moalboal), I immediately said … Read more
