We we're looking for this cheap buffet restaurant and when we found the place, the staff informed us that it's no longer a buffet restaurant due to a change in management.<br />
<br />
We scan the internet for a buffet, albeit a bit costly, we headed to SM City mall and looked for Tong Yang. It was already 8:30pm and they were about to close the place in half an hour. We hurried picking up slices of fish, meat, shrimps, several variety of mushrooms to grill and boil. <br />
<br />
I'm a huge fan of shabu shabu and grill buffet, we usually eat out in Baguio City every weekend at several Korean restaurants. I thought the Korean Palace was good but this one is by far the best.<br />
<br />
Several variety of all kinds at only 450 pesos per plate, an excellent deal.<br />

A long station of raw seafoods, vegetables, meats and some other stuff I did not recognize and did not care to pick up as we only have 30 minutes or so to cook and dine. Several varieties of dimsums, siopao, noodles, soups, free-flowing cola drinks and juices.<br />

The name of the place we were looking for is Francheska Grill & Restaurant. It wasn't hard to find. We passed by KCCC Mall and the round-about or rotonda, made a left turn after few meters from the rotonda then right and found the very simple place, more like a carinderia type of restaurant but surprisingly there are several variety for a meager price.<br />

There are perhaps 20 or more food containers and pots, including a couple of fruits and unlimited juice for a bargain price of P138 eat-all-you-can.<br />

We were full after our lunch, reasonably priced. I like the snails in coconut milk, fern salad, seaweeds, pakbet and the ampalaya with eggs.<br />
<br />
Not a great place, no airconditioning BUT for 138 pesos? It's a steal!<br />

Francheska Grill & Restaurant is located at the corner of Datu Sinsuat Street and Jose Abad Santos Street, Koronadal City, South Cotabato.<br />

sana sa Burnham Park or walking distance”
<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
First of all, Baguio City is not Burnham Park, but Burnham
Park is IN Baguio City.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Some seekers prefer a place away from the hustle and bustle
of the city, after all they’ve come all the way from a very chaotic city so why
stay within the busy periphery of another city?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOhPW3PX4gIFDQQ0cAmKwL67b45X-sQi7s6OE1Ieg6FZsQd2lbqdQU5a9pQVdnKwWXJwUdz0b1PRBVKUjLZTBtbpoFeh5vGrFbxNMUEOoqnriBqTiS3FpjFQadx2fcxifx7yZQA-2_FII/s1600/BurnhamPark_07.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOhPW3PX4gIFDQQ0cAmKwL67b45X-sQi7s6OE1Ieg6FZsQd2lbqdQU5a9pQVdnKwWXJwUdz0b1PRBVKUjLZTBtbpoFeh5vGrFbxNMUEOoqnriBqTiS3FpjFQadx2fcxifx7yZQA-2_FII/s640/BurnhamPark_07.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But hey, let me explain comprehensively why staying anywhere
between the stretch of Naguilian Road up
to Mines View Park is never a complexity especially for tourists coming to
Baguio City on their own car. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But even for commuters, this city has one of the best if not
the best taxis in terms of drivers’ attitude and taxi fare in the entire
country, challenge me if I’m wrong. I
live in Davao City right now, taxi drivers in Davao are equally polite but the
per kilometer rate in Baguio is lower. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Taxis in Baguio has maybe the lowest rates, the most honest,
discreet, and non-complaining taxi drivers who will return your 1-peso change
instead of asking additional 50 pesos like they normally (not usual, it’s normal!)
and are accustomed to do in Metro Manila. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Believe me when I say that 60% of my
taxi rides in Manila whenever I’m there demand 50 pesos add-on just because of
the traffic that literally gave me the impression that it was my fault and I
have to suffer the financial consequence in the form of add-on fare. Like I have something to do with the
perpetual traffic problem in Metro Manila?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Going back to choosing your place to stay. Baguio City is a small place that even the
neighboring town of La Trinidad where the Strawberry Farm is located (not in
Baguio City like most people assume) is only less than half an hour away.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Unless your real purpose in coming to Baguio is to visit
Burnham Park (solely or exclusively), it doesn’t matter if you find a place in
Loakan Airport near PMA, up Ambiong, Magsaysay, around Pacdal Circle near
Wright Park, at Gibraltar near Mines View Park, Quezon Hill or around Lourdes
Grotto, or around Burnham Park itself where hotels or transient houses are
either slightly (or exorbitantly costly). You’re
still in Baguio City!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Staying within those stretch means you are only 5 to 15 minutes
drive or jeepney or taxi ride away to all the tourist spots that you may want
to see, or restaurants that you may possibly wish to satiate your cravings for
calories or fats or carbs or sugar or any other form of food trip or
gastronomic indulgence. <o:p></o:p></div>

So go ahead, cut the crappy “<b><i>walking distance to
Burnham Park</i></b>” or “<b><i>near tourist spots</i></b>” excuse when seeking
a place to stay in Baguio. You’re in
Baguio for heaven’s sakes, you’re inside “A” tourist spot already! Takes only a couple or few minutes, no sweat
and you’re there wherever particular or square-meter-precise spot you want to visit,
eat or whatever you want to see or do.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Have fun and enjoy!<o:p></o:p></div>

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/ELMARCABIN/" target="_blank">Elmar Cabin</a> is a an early 20th century cabin house acquired and converted into a B&B type transient house, owned and managed by the adorable Ms. Ely Joaquin-Lacambra. This gorgeous place used to be owned by a former beauty queen, I won't say, ask the owner.<br />
<br />
Entryway is through the wide parking lot. Right side full wall is decorated with rows of plants and lowers. Similar to what you can find at Good Shepherd and parks of the city.<br />

Elmar Cabin is only 1 km away to Session Road or Burnham
Park. If you're one of those who prefer to explore the city by walking - and by the way Baguio has cool climate all year round - it will only take you 15 minutes or less and you'll reach Session Road, Sm Baguio or Burnham Park.<o:p></o:p></div>

Entrance to the cabin house is through the lovely porch with wooden benches and coffee table. The main door open up to the colorful reception area with big couches, an old piano, an antique clock, and several interesting stuff.<br />

The cabin house have 7 suites and each can accommodate from 4 - 8 guests each. Some people want to stay away from the crowded city center but some want to be near it. When it comes to proximity to city proper and if one wants to stay near the Burnham Park, Session Road or SM Baguio, Elmar is a good choice.<br />

<br />
Part of Baguio Transient House series.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/jenshomestaybaguio/" target="_blank">Jen's Homestay</a> is managed by a friendly adorable lady - Ms. Jen. As the pretty as the owner, the suites at Jen's Homestay are adorable, very neat and the colors are pleasing to the eyes.<br />
<br />
Five suites in total that can accommodate 10 - 14 persons each. Located at Baranggay San Luis, few strides away from Coyeesan Plaza and the big Puregold Supermarket. So you might want to consider picking up some foodstuff at the supermarket to cook your own meals as the suites have kitchen to cook your own meals.<br />
<br />
For Christian devout, Lourdes Grotto is less than 10 minutes walk and Baguio's haunted hotel is 5 minutes walk up the hill from Lourdes Grotto.<br />
<br />
The city proper is conveniently near, public transport such as jeepneys and taxis are plying along the main road in front of Jen's Homestay and it will only take about 7 minutes to reach Burnham Park, Session Road, SM Baguio and most of Baguio City tourist spots.<br />
<br />
The suites are named after the Greek goddesses which is aptly for the gorgeous owner.<br />

This is the first of several series of "Alternative Budget Accommodations" in Baguio City - Transient House Series.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/transienthome/" target="_blank">Baguio Traveller's House</a> has two house units for small to big groups. In total, they can accommodate up to 40 persons maximum capacity. Both houses are located at the foggy Quezon Hill, a bit away from the crowded city proper but never too far. It can be easily reached in few minutes either via the public transport or the inexpensive taxis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first house called BTH2.0 is the new m<span style="background-color: white;">inimalist 2-story contemporary-designed house, very spacious,
clean, white, relaxing, with balconies and large glass panel offering a fantastic view of the mountains. The gated garage parking can accommodate 2 vans, above it through the stairs is the big open chill-out terrace adorned with upcycled wooden benches, where guests can relax, have a beer or hot beverages.</span></div>

It's summer time and the heat is on! What better way to escape the city heat than a few days vacation at the country's premier tourist destination with cool weather whole year round.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Baguio city is a prime tourist destination and aside from the cool weather, there are several highlights to see and things to do, and yes, the food trippers haven! Since it's a premier tourist destination only 6 to 7 hours bus ride or drive away from Manila, one must set aside some budget just like most tourist places. Food is reasonably affordable, hotels are a bit costly, the cool weather is free!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most visitors though have discovered a way to cut down some costs, and even with several hotels around the city, there still exist some shortage for a place to to stay. Enter the transient houses!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
I saw this news just a week ago I
think, about the opening of a food truck in Baguio. It’s the Calle Uno Food
Hub. Not sure why they called it Calle
Uno but there definitely is no street named Calle Uno in Baguio. Looking at google map it seemed very near our
place. I forgot about it until today
when Maria (at the house) invited us for lunch – no food at the house – and she
passed by that Calle Uno this morning after her night shift and several diners - she got tickled in her tummy. Snoozed for a couple of hours and before
noon, we drove to “Calle Uno Food Hub.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
The place is new, parking is limited for few vehicles, we parked along
the sloping road as advised by the lady attendant. Some guys smoking at the
upper level parking area shed as it is not allowed to smoke at the “al fresco”
food court covered with a giant white parasol dancing in the afternoon breeze.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
There are probably 5 or 6 food stalls, mostly with their own classic Volkswagen
beetles where some have installed a grilling station infront of the car. The atmosphere is hip and people are starting
to discover this place as evidenced by several diners at the tables and chairs
dotting the center of the courtyard.<o:p></o:p></div>

Food at the 6 stalls serve mostly grilled meats and BBQs. We ordered the Australian porter house steak at the baby blue and white colored outlet of “Munchiez”. The steak is tender and juicy and surprisingly
cheap at P189 per plate with rice and bits of corn and mix veggies, and a tasty
gravy. Price-value-wise it’s better than
the ones at the SM Foodcourt which I think they do recycle for the next day?<o:p></o:p></div>

The Guyabano juice at BRRRGRRR, not sure if it’s made of real guyabano
or powder but it sure is good-tasting at P75/jar. This is the home of the giant burgers good
for 3 – 4 people at P300. The burger
patty tastes home-made (which is good) not the frozen Mcdo or Jollibee-type and
the bread is soft, I thought of coming back to this place alone and order that

The corner stall called “Road Grille” – great location beside a tree
where they adorned it with several vintage plates also serve #SquadGoal Bundle BBQ
at P985 good for 4 – 5 persons. I don’t
know why I don’t like the idea of nailing signages on trees and that maybe was
the reason I did not order food there – I’m an environmentally friendly person.</div>

For 3 adults of us and my 5-year old nephew, we ended up paying less
than P1000! … and we used to pay between P2000 – 3500 for buffet lunch or
dinner! It’s very affordable and the experience of dining al fresco and
surrounded by classic beetle cars with it’s front hood as grilling station is
unique.</div>

We used to like dining at this Korean buffet at the Manor in South
Drive, it’s cheap at only P299 per head but suddenly we got tired of it and
headed to the Kun Jeon Korean Palace which is a hundred pesos expensive than
the Manor’s.<o:p></o:p></div>

Although the former has a shabu shabu pot but in my opinion though I
like the Kung Jeon Korean Palace as they have more variety – Korean bacons,
beef and pork, chicken with the usual grilling stove to cook your own. <o:p></o:p></div>

I don't know why we craved for Japanese restaurant that day. Maybe because it was the coldest month of the city?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We already got tired of the Korean buffet so we drove off to military cut-off - Sakura Terrace at 168 Military Cut-off Road, Baguio.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Early for lunch time, there were few diners, passing by one group at the Zio's pizza, same entrance with Sakura Terrace, then one group with a whole slab of cake, birthday perhaps, then us at the terrace part of the restaurant, then came a family of Japanese.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We were immediately served with a complimentary slices of cheese mango cake which is very inviting with those slices of mangoes on top. </div>

The big plate of sushi though is a bit disappointment for me. I think it has something to do with the sticky rice, it's bland and not too sticky for my liking. I'm no Japanese so maybe that is how it's really made?</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">My
cousin told me that there is a </span><i style="text-align: justify;">world-class</i><span style="text-align: justify;"> resort in the island so after
our overnight stay at the Heavenly Beach Resort in IGACOS (still popularly
known as Samal Island), in the late afternoon, we decided to drop by the place.</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;">We drove passing by the overlook drive of the
Holiday Oceanview Marina where several yachts were moored, mostly owned by
foreign tourists. </span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;">I thought the place is
closed because of the kidnapping incident that took place in September last
year were 4 people (2 Canadians, a Norwegian and a Filipina) were abducted by an
unknown group.</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;">But judging by the number
of boats within the enclosure, it looks like it’s still in operation.</span><br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">The lookout on the promontory just above the marina commands a nice view of the blue
ocean, the marina, and the small island in the middle of the sea beside it.</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;">There were tables and benches which mean that
people could have a picnic there? Not sure.</span><br />

Then off
we took the long drive east of the island, perhaps, if you’re coming from the
ferry wharf, it may take more than half an hour to reach it.<o:p></o:p></div>

The
place is a piece of paradise! With all
the small resort establishments around the island, SECDEA Beach Resort stands
out with its topnotch and charming facilities sprawling over 50 hectares along
the shoreline of Barangay San Isidro, Babak.

Upon
entering the main gate manned by security staff, we were transported along a
boulevard by the resort’s golf cart. Few meters from the main reception
building, on the left side of the boulevard we stopped over at a man-made
waterfalls along the way, fashioned on the side of a cliff with the name of the
resort on the upper part. Accented with green
plants and shrubs, the water cascades onto a koi pond with lots of big colorful
fishes, a wooden platform in the middle beside the pond and the waterfalls where
one can have a closer look. Beside it a
lawn with huge turtles, three of them slowly lazing around which at first I
thought were turtle-shaped rocks until one of them started to move its
head. The children loved it. </div>

is jutting out from the white sandy beach onto the middle of the water with a

Fronting
the villas is a long two-story building which houses rooms for big groups also
with <b>6 double beds and costs P15,000</b> per night good for 10 to 12
persons. Though I find that a bit odd
because if I’ll be staying with a group of 10 or more, I’d rather take the more
spacious villa rather than the large one-bedroom with just a difference of
P3,000. The villa is a lot bigger, more privacy,
a large porch, several bathrooms, it’s like having your own house compared to
being housed in a hotel-type accommodation no matter how spacious the bedroom
is.</div>

Beside
the building are small cottages for couples opening up to a big lawn though I
have not seen the inside of it. Standing
on a stilt on the water few meters from the sands is a lone cottage which is
also for rent, I think it cost P4,000 or something, I just forgot, but it
doesn’t have its own bathroom instead you have to walk a minute to get to the
common bathroom. Perfect place for viewing
the sunset, I personally like the idea but not if you’re bothered by the lack of ensuite bathroom.</div>

This stunning resort is relatively new, opened
only in 2013, so noticeably the staff – although friendly – lacked the usual
courtesies (the greetings<i> </i>like<i> Good mornings </i>or<i> Welcome to -
whatever</i>) that I usually find at premier resorts or hotels. I cannot differentiate the ordinary staff or
rank and files to the supervisors or managers or team leaders – if there are
any. Nonetheless, it’s a good
competition to the long-standing Pearl Farm, maybe even better – if properly
managed.<o:p></o:p></div>

I flew
in to Davao City from Manila via the <i>always</i> delayed or eve-changing flight
time of AirAsia, from the original 8:10pm, it was moved to 9:10 to finally 10:30pm.
The problem with flying late and a
delayed flight of AirAsia is there is nowhere to buy food inside the small
Terminal 4 of NAIA, everything closes at 8:00pm, so better bring your own food
when you’re taking AirAsia at night. Expect a delay as always. They did give away free snacks to all their
passengers though – a box containing a small bottle of water and two small
pastries. <o:p></o:p></div>

It’s my
nephew’s birthday on June 25 and they want to spend a night at a beach in Samal
Island. I haven’t been to Samal so it was
a good weekend getaway. We drove to Sasa
Wharf and along with our car, we boarded the barge for the 15-minute ride on to
Samal Island. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Vehicle
transport via the barge is P200 for light vehicles and P250 for bigger
vehicles. Passengers pay P10 each, they
never charged us though for the passengers fares. Upon reaching the island, we drove about 15

The
Island Garden City of Samal, IGaCos for short, is debatably the country’s
largest resort city as it’s host to nearly 70 beach resorts dotting the
shorelines of the island. We settled in
one of them, a new resort owned by my cousin’s friend’s friend called “<b><i>Heavenly
Beach Resort</i></b>” at Barangay Camudmud. Small beachfront resort, very intimate, aside
from our group, there was only another group during that weekend. There were only few rooms at the yellow–painted
concrete houses, two houses beside a giant boulder of rock decorated with a
grotto, behind it is a cave inhabited by bats.
The other bigger accommodation right beside the sloping driveway, and
another nipa hut that could accommodate bigger groups exactly beside the beach,
this one is fan-cooled but the other concrete accommodations are
airconditioned.</div>

Heavenly
Beach Resort is a good beachfront property with basic amenities, we had a BBQ
party, charcoals provided by the resort.
We bought some fresh fish from a fisherman vendor who docked his small
boat there and brought our own marinated chicken and pork. The only problem with the resort, although
the sea water is clean, it’s white sandy beach, but there are a lot of
fragmented corals that you’ll be stepping into while swimming and it really
hurts my feet, so better bring some footwear. And during rainy season, and it
was raining the day we arrived, some pieces of banana trees, twigs and tree
branches gets washed up onto the shoreline.<o:p></o:p></div>

They
have their own boats for guests to paddle around and some rubber tire interiors
too for the kids to float around. Three
open huts for dining and the resort itself is surrounded by trees and
well-manicured lawns.<o:p></o:p></div>

The
airconditioned rooms cost P2,500 each unit and can accommodate 8 to 10 persons.
Individually, they charge P250 per person for overnight stay.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;">For budget beach fun, this place is really good but
if you need to splurge, drive half an hour from the wharf to the 5-star SECDEA
Beach Resort. This resort is truly fabulous and worth a night or two stay, I'll be writing about it on my next article.</span></div>

I have
to take a break from Baguio City after staying for almost half a year now since
January this year and I usually don’t stay longer than a month in one
place. I’m starting to feel the cold and
loneliness of a place after remaining for quite a while. <o:p></o:p></div>

I took
the <b><i>Deluxe</i></b> bus of Victory Liner to Pasay City. Fare is P750 one-way. For some (I used to think the same) that
sounds a little costly comparing it to the less expensive <b><i>Ordinary</i></b>
airconditioned bus which costs only P455.
But I managed to justify the difference and somehow it all boils down to
convenience, and if you add up other expenses during travel is almost in parity
with the <i>Deluxe</i>. <o:p></o:p></div>

I’m
starting to like the Deluxe bus for several compelling reasons, here’s how I
summed it all up:<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Both
buses have flat panel TVs in front of the bus beside the driver showing
B-movies which I never enjoy watching, not in any travel, I chose to either
snooze or watch the invigorating greeneries – the mountains, oceans, rivers and
rural scenes – outside the window.</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><br />

<br />
<ul>
<li>The <i>Deluxe</i>
bus travel time is approximately 5 hours or even less traversing through the
wider TPLEX highway whereas the <i>Ordinary</i> ones travel through NLEX which
takes about 7 hours to reach Manila.</li>
<li><i>Deluxe</i> has no
stopovers at all as the bus has its own toilet, small but clean and enough for
those call of nature, so you saved P5 each time you use the public toilets at
every bus stations the <i>Ordinary</i> bus stops. Say, I normally use the
toilets twice during the 7-hour trip of an <i>Ordinary</i> AC bus, I saved P10 pesos already, if I have to pee at every
stop then I have to pay each time.</li>
<li>Deluxe
buses do not stop at bus terminals for meal breaks or to pick up passengers
along the way as in the case of <i>Ordinary</i> buses which stops roughly 3 to
5 times, and since it does not stop, I’m not compelled to buy meals or snacks. I usually eat twice during trips and that
saved me about P200 or more.</li>
<li>Then
consider the comfort – better reclining seats, more distance between my knees
and the back of the seat in front of me which provides enough space to move and
stretch. The bus has fewer seating
capacity, only one row on the left side where I was sitting which avoids the
jostling of elbows with fellow passenger (seatmate) as in the case of the
ordinary buses where there are two seats on each sides. The two rows on the right side are better for
couples or friends traveling together. </li>

<ul>
<li>Not too
sure but I have noticed with taking the <i>Deluxe</i> bus twice already, it has
better internet wifi connectivity whilst I find the <i>Ordinary</i> buses to be
having a slow internet or even useless at times.</li>

Adding
it all up, that already saved me P210 (meals + toilet use) maybe even more if I
buy some other snacks from vendors getting inside the bus selling peanuts,
sweets, drinks and snacks. The lady
stewardess on board hands out bottled water, small cupcake to nibble on and a
small plastic of peanuts for free! The
next time I got hungry, that would be the time I’ve reached my destination.</div>

Say, I
take the <i>Ordinary</i> bus, I pay P455 + 210 for meals and toilet use, that’s
P665 in total. A difference of P85
lesser than the <i>Deluxe</i> bus! I
paid P85, a very trivial amount, for the comfort of space, convenience of time,
free on-board snacks, mobile phone charging, better internet connectivity, and
uninterrupted sleep! The last one being
the most priceless, for me at least.<o:p></o:p></div>

Father’s
Day and we decided to go on a “foodtrip”.
I’m a Baguio resident (part-time) so it wouldn’t be difficult for me to
find my way searching for places to gratify my binge for good food, and so I thought.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Aside
from the cold weather and the famous sights, people come to the city of pines
for the food. Yes, this city has a lot
to offer when it comes to “<i>foodies</i>” – from fine dining to simple
eateries, hot “<i>bulalo</i>” to cold treats, vegan to meat lovers, local to
international gourmets. The city is a food
lovers (and binge eaters) haven.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
We
started with <b>Good Taste</b> along Legarda Street, it's a favorite, but the queue was too
lengthy and it was raining in June, I don’t feel like standing on a queue umbrella-fencing with other people. We passed it off and
headed to Outlook Drive near Mines View Park for a small place popular for
their “Bulalo”. Then again, no place to
seat, father’s day is being celebrated all around whether it’s a big restaurant
or a hole in the wall! I thought mothers
are more popular? Even parents are
becoming competitive when it comes to holidays!<o:p></o:p></div>

back down to one of the favorites – Ketchup Food Community. That sound like a burger joint where people

There's also a queue of people waiting to be seated at Canto which is always the
case whenever we come to this place, but we didn’t have any choice and we’re
starving. Canto is famous for their
tender, juicy and tasty <i>Lomo Ribs</i>, since we’re a family of 5 + a kid, we
ordered 2 plates of big whole slabs of the pork ribs smothered with flavorsome
barbecue sauce, garden salad on the side, each good for 2 to 3 persons costs
P400 per plate, even the half slab good for one person at P209 is a huge
serving. People come here for the sizeable
amount of food, the taste – good enough. </div>

Since I’ve
had the ribs several times and starting to avoid pork (when you’re starting to …
aherrm.. age? you have to), I had the beautifully prepared <i>Chicken Pita Wrap</i>
– lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, onions, alfalfa sprouts and bits of tasty grilled
chicken topped with equally tasty garlic sauce, it was bursting with flavor for
my taste like I wished they added more lettuce to cover the flavor. Not sure if it’s monosodium glutamate and/or
kikkoman sauce perhaps? </div>

I need an overdose of green stuff so I got me a full plate of the <i>Cascade Salad</i> - a mishmash of Baguio's greens in vinaigrette dressing - lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, bits of watermelons and grated cheese. I like these alfalfa sprouts, they look so lovely creating a mini forest on top of a green mountain of greens. </div>

The
first time I’ve tasted the lomo ribs at Canto, I’ve enjoyed it – with the size
and the flavor – but after several visits and tried everything listed on their
menu, I’ve come to the conclusion that all taste the same to me, even the green
salad dressing, I think they’re using the same recipe for gravies on all their
food? Not sure, maybe my sense of taste
has gone awry.</div>

I really
wanted to thrust the extreme after-taste of the Chicken Pita Wrap I had at
Canto, it lingered on my mouth, and I needed a sugar boost, for awhile I wanted
to forget that I’m diabetic so we headed to Vizco’s at Session Road.<o:p></o:p></div>

I
ordered their best seller – <i>Strawberry Shortcake</i> – not really tempting
as the strawberry topping is too sour but at least it was able to get rid of
the chicken pita wrap’s taste on my mouth.
I like their <i>Walnut Chocolate Cake</i>, it’s lip-smacking, lots and
lots of chewy wallnuts. Although the
small round <i>Cheese Cake </i>with strawberry syrup<i> </i>tastes so good but as
with any other cheese cakes, I got easily satiated after just half of it. Then
again, Vizco’s one of the best place in Baguio City for mouthwatering cakes and
pastries.<o:p></o:p></div>

They might have run out of some stuff to add to their food fare as I've kept on searching for the other stuff stated on their menu but did not find some of it but it's Father's Day. It may have dissolved? I don't know really.</div>

All-in-all,
it was quite a good(?) taste of Korean cuisine in Baguio City, nothing really
special but we got full, not the fullness we had at Canto but just enough, at
least I’ve totally forgotten the flavor-fullness of the garlic sauce at Canto.</div>

Long distance
bus companies traveling from Manila to Baguio City like Victory Liner is no
longer passing by Kennon Road, instead, it’s traversing the Marcos Highway. But
if you’re driving with your own car, it’s a good idea to pass by Kennon Road
and stopover at the Kennon Road Viewpoint.
The panorama down the zigzag road from this view point is fantastic.<o:p></o:p></div>

We’ve
passed by it one drizzling summer day in June and the view of the Lion’s head
is very visible, the mountain ranges and the zigzag highway is simply
marvelous. <o:p></o:p></div>

thought we’re just having a day of sightseeing around Baguio City just as I was

Baguio. </span><span style="text-align: justify;">My friend told me we’re going to
Pugad but I didn’t know that the place is not in Baguio until we’ve reached it
and stepping out of the vehicle I instantly felt the heat which is a huge
downgrade from the cold climate of Baguio and saw the sign of the resort which
says </span><b style="text-align: justify;">La Union</b><span style="text-align: justify;">. </span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;">We are out of

PUGAD – acronym
for PUGo ADventure – is a lovely resort nestled in between mountain ranges and
long running clean rivers. Located in

Manila and Baguio City as well as nearby provinces.</div>

upon parking our vehicle, we asked the green-shirted staff where we could park
and was told to “<i>just look around and find somewhere to park</i>”. What a nice introduction of a beautiful
resort! </div>

I was
still hopeful though as the lady right after the main entrance where one should
pay the fees is nice, that made up for the service impotence upon our arrival. Maybe the parking lot is the most dreaded
spot that an employee of the resort could get, after all there is nothing to
see there except for vehicles.</div>

As the
name implies, visitors should expect a lot of adventure activities like
ziplines, wall climbing, rappelling, Australian run down (not sure what’s so
Australian about it?), giant swing, paint ball, ATV course, a mini zoo and the
several swimming pools both for kids and adults. I can no longer do those adventure stuff,
maybe I can but I don’t want to. The
last time I attempted a zipline in Puerto Princesa Palawan, I gagged just as
the staff started putting on the harness.
I forgot that I’ve developed this vertigo which started from way back
when, I don’t remember.<o:p></o:p></div>

We were
first given a hut just around the first pool near the entrance, I thought that
was it, but my friend returned to the entrance and requested for a hut on the
other side of the river and the way to get there is through two hanging bridges
that kept on rocking, that in itself for me is already an adventure! Crossing the bridge onto another bridge, so
that was passing by two running rivers, onto our small two-story hut, that’s
when I’ve comprehended how big the place is yet it’s full of visitors, mostly
families after all it was a Saturday. But
as the afternoon progresses the swarm of noisy holidaymakers and screaming
children started to thin.<o:p></o:p></div>

I’ve
noticed the presence of a lot of Koreans who may have come from Baguio too and
have discovered the place. The pools
smell too much of chlorine but for people who cannot tolerate that, the
beautiful river is a good alternative, it’s clean and running, and accessible
going down the stairs from the swimming pool and hut areas. There are pigeons or doves hovering around
and nestling through crevices on the rock walls on the side of the river. The only thing that's really bothersome at the resort are the presence of so many flies, the nets on every hut did nothing to prevent them from getting in!</div>

You can
either bring your own food, do some barbecue, they have facilities for such, or
order food at their restaurant. Since
the place lies in between mountains, it can get really hot so be prepared
especially if you’ve got accustomed with the climate in Baguio City. If you’re coming from Manila, you’re used to
it.</div>

the place as the staff started to clean up before 5:00pm. Great place for all ages especially for
people seeking adventures and swimming at the same time – all in one place. A nice stopover for vacationers before heading

Who have
not dreamt of coming to Santorini in Greece? I do! You needn’t go far if you haven’t got the
budget to go to the real Santorini. There are two places in the North of Luzon
in Philippines where locals could experience a piece of that romantic hideaway,
not as breathtaking as the Greek Island perched on the rim of an active volcano
but hey, at a fraction of the cost and not leaving the country, this is as good
as it gets.<o:p></o:p></div>

It was a
weekend and we decided to drive from Baguio City to the north initially to do
some Visita Iglesia (and it was not even Holy Week!) but ended up with few churches
than seven. On our way to Narvacan,
Ilocos Sur, we passed by two of the places that look like mini Santorini.<o:p></o:p></div>

We drove
less than 100kms / 2.5 hours from Thunderbird Resort in La union to Sabangan
Santiago, Ilocos Sur to see what my niece was modestly saying as the Santorini
of the north and we’ve heard it’s owned by no less than the Singson family of
Ilocos Sur.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
Been staying in <a href="http://travelingbydefault.blogspot.com/search/label/Baguio%20City" target="_blank">Baguio City</a> since January this year, breaking it
with some trips to my favorite places – Vigan and Banaue – every now and then,
and couple of Manila trips that do not last longer than few days. I can never get the hang of life in Metropolitan Manila where, in fact, I grew up and spent half of my entire life
there since childhood. It’s too hot, too
crowded, hectic, the unbearable traffic, the loquacious and cranky taxi drivers
who always ask for additional fare even before I could step onto his taxi.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
Just last week while waiting for a taxi on my way from our house to the Victory Liner bus
terminal in Pasay City for my trip back to Baguio, a taxi driver pulled up the
curbside along Zobel Roxas Street and when I was about to get in he said “<i>Dagdagan
nyo na lang sir kase ma traffic</i>” (Just add up an amount due to the
traffic). <br />
<br />
Getting used to the good-natured
taxi drivers in Baguio and as I’m starting to adopt a certain degree of
intolerance to greed and corruption, I declined his offer. I let the taxi driver go and waited for the
next one which did not take a minute to arrive anyway.<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
Last week, a guest at the guesthouse in Baguio asked me about
the taxi fare to the city center and I told her that it’s not gonna cost more
than 70 pesos from our place in Quezon Hill, being her first visit in <a href="http://travelingbydefault.blogspot.com/search/label/Baguio%20City" target="_blank">BaguioCity</a>, she was surprised to hear the low fare.
Then our chat led us to further comparisons between taxi cabs in Baguio
versus Manila.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Fare comparison.</span></b>
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
I told her that, that distance between Quezon Hill to Session Road,
if it was in Manila it could have cost twice but since taxis here don’t utilize
airconditioning and provincial rate apply, it’s a lot cheaper. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
<b><i>Metro Manila’s taxi fare</i></b> is Php40 flag down rate, this is
what one would see on the meter immediately upon boarding a taxi plus Php3.50
thereafter every 300 meters. Then, if
you’re desperately in a hurry and it’s rush time of the day, you’ll fall victim
to the additional fare enforced “due to traffic” which starts at Php50, to be
added on top of the fare that you see on the meter, and if you have a small
change, say, 10 pesos, don’t expect that he’s going to give it back to
you. Either he will bide his time
looking for a change until you’ve gone exasperated waiting then time for you to
tell him to keep the change, or he will tell you directly that he doesn’t have
a change.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
Although the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board
or LTFRB has approved the cutback of taxi fare nationwide to P30.00 for the
flag-down rate, P3.50 for every succeeding 500 meters and P3.50 effective March
19, 2016, I never did see any taxis implementing that.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><i>Baguio City’s taxi fare</i></b> on the other hand is only Php30
flag down rate + Php2 after every succeeding 400 meters. If you ever request the driver to pass by an
ATM machine to withdraw money like I always do, you won’t hear any
complaints. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b><i>Baguio City cab drivers </i></b>noticeably are calmer, subdued and
polite. They will not open their mouth,
they won’t talk unless you strike conversations with them. I once asked that from one of the taxis I
boarded, I asked him if the LTFRB in the city is stricter, maybe they’re afraid
of passenger’s complaint perhaps? He
said, not really, it has something to do with the region’s customs. He said “<i>we
treat passengers politely, after all, they are our source of livelihood</i>”. That was very customer-oriented
response. I thought perhaps it’s the
cold climate? Colder climate results to colder head?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
The protocol among cab drivers in Baguio ranges from two to three
steps: (1) you hop in, (2) they ask you your destination, and sometimes (3)
your preferred route. That’s it and you’ll never hear him speak a word
again. When you’ve reached your
destination, you look at the meter, hand over the money, he’ll hand you back
your change, even 1 peso change will be handed back to you, less the 5 pesos
fuel rollback, then off you go.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><i>Metro Manila cab drivers</i></b> on the contrary are a bit
complicated. Expect a lot of talking,
from complaining about the traffic to politics, even their personal hell that I
care zero about. Every time I’m on
board, it’s always about the traffic that these drivers kept whining about. Why the heck did you not take an airline
pilot course, you could have avoided those monstrous traffic jam on top of the
highway? And so I silently whisper. No I’m not whining. Yes, I do acknowledge and sympathize with the
difficulty of being a cab driver but so are the plight of jeepney drivers or ordinary
factory workers or office workers or even the OFWs they kept on victimizing
with “<i>pamaskong handog</i>” (Christmans Gift) during Christmas. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
I feel frustrated every time I take taxis in Metro Manila, I always
anticipate certain sets or chain of events and it somehow follows some sort of
a pattern. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Hail a taxi.</li>
<li>Tell the driver where I’m heading.</li>
<li>Not all the time, but expect the announcement for the mandatory add-on
cost due to traffic or my long distance destination.</li>
<li>Wait for the start of yammering about the traffic then I start to pray
that I will not be averted to a farther route which will result on a higher
fare.</li>
<li>Pay the fare and do not expect a change if it’s less than 10
pesos, no fuel rollback reduction.</li>

Call me paranoid but this fixation is already included on my OCD
list – I always look for the taxi information printed on the inside door of the
vehicle below the window glass – name of taxi, plate number – or the ID card
hanging in front of the driver, then send it by text message to my sister or
friends give me a sense of security. At
least if I’ll be found dumped somewhere remote, lifeless or otherwise, I have
left some trail to track down.<o:p></o:p></div>

A lot of
people are traveling nowadays. They say
that once you’ve got bitten by a travel bug, it’s going to be uncontainable. Soounds like a virus, right? Travel once, travel twice, your feet itch
like crazy and you’ll be wanting to move from place to place, and discover corners
of the world that you’ve never been before or for some people – go back to
places that they found fascinating and comfortable. Quite true, I never found the cure. <o:p></o:p></div>

Now, I’m
spending about 6 months a year out of my very own home. Well, like I always say – “Home is where the
heart is” – traveling became my home, or literally, other people’s home became
my home. <o:p></o:p></div>

Mikael’s
interrogatively doubtful question the other day struck me while we’re having
the usual nonsense-time-consuming (official work time to be precise, his, not
mine) phone conversation. He dropped the
question which I’ve somehow been anticipating he’d gonna ask one of these days. “<i>What do you get out of traveling?</i>” he
quipped. I told him, he’s going to find
that out pretty soon as I was expecting that he’ll be bitten by the travel bug too. Though somehow, it kept me contemplating for
the next couple of hour right after our conversation. So what was it really? <o:p></o:p></div>

To have
a picture beside or in front of a landmark – a touristic shot with Paris’
Eiffel Tower or Rome’s Coliseum on the background? Have a picturesque photos with the rows of
Cairo’s Pyramid or the majestic <a href="http://travelingbydefault.blogspot.com/2014/04/ifugao-arriving-banaue.html" target="_blank">Banaue Rice Terraces</a> perhaps? Quite honestly, that used to be my
routine. The word “Selfie” wasn’t a thing
then but I used to do that all the time back then. People travel for fun, adventures,
to see new sights, new sounds, new smell, discover new cultures. </div>

My early
travels during the time I was unaware that this traveling thing is going to
slither its way into my bloodstreams, it was mostly for the fun of seeing other
places, usually a stop-over coupled with shopping before heading back home for
a month-long vacation from my overseas work in the middle east – Hong Kong,
Singapore, Thailand – the neighboring countries. That was the start, but
several trips eventually led to obsession.</div>

It’s
driving me crazy but every time I travel I feel like a new world is opening up
or precisely my own small world is opening up to a bigger world. The more remote the place or the lesser population
and the less traveled – the more that it excites me, like it’s an
accomplishment of sort.<o:p></o:p></div>

Traveling
for me is education. It’s learning on
wheels, on air, on the road, by sea. You get to meet a lot of people, meet new
friends, get to know other people’s culture which most of the time are
different from yours – what and how they eat, worship, dress, how they conduct
their daily lives. You’ll have the
opportunity to compare yours to theirs.
You learn about the history, the significance of every customs,
traditions, sights, monuments, edifice and other objects – in contrast to the
customary idea of just having a nice photo beside, in front or sometimes on top
of each piece of historical artifacts. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
One day,
you’ll come to realize, you’re not alone in the planet – your culture is not
the only culture that exist and universally recognized. That, each country or nation or region on
earth has its own language, its own norms and traditions, ethnicity and identity.
By then, and only then you’ll stop making fun at other people on
culture-related things that you see on TV just because they’re different from
yours or from what you’ve got accustomed to because you’ll come to understand
the why, what and how of things not similar to yours. That people are different – not only among
every race on the planet, but also the differences within each race. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
You’ll cease
wondering, because you’ll know that there will always be diversity among people
of different nations or regions within your own people. What would be totally normal in your country
may not be in others. What could be
horrible to you may be totally pleasant to other places. What could be unsavory
to you may be delectable to others. What
would be stinky to you might be fragrant to other people. A three-times-a-day bath may not be rational
in other places for some reasons and that may sound unacceptable to you yet
reasonable to them. In contrast to Jim
Morrison’s song (People Are Strange) people aren’t strange, they’re just
different. </div>

I
vividly remember the time I was riding the Paris metro one day on my way to a
friend’s house. I was sitting beside the
sliding door opposite me are three girls conversing in my own language, clear
enough that I could understand. They
were talking about the local people and how they dress, making comparisons and
I heard one of the girls saying that “<i>we </i>dress better” and when she said
“we” it means our people, in our own country.
I think they’re forgetting that we’re in Paris! One of the "Big 4" fashion capitals
of the world? It’s a good thing not a
single passenger on the train could understand their conversations, except
myself of course. </div>

Here’s
another one of those popular idea that I usually hear from not only my own
people but I guess from so many others – that South Asians smell. But do they really? I told a friend of mine that if he doesn’t
like their smell, why smell them? For
all you know, it works vice-versa, he might not like how you smell too. That’s
very possible, ain’t it?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Here’s
how a Pakistani former colleague of mine explains it. He said in their part of the world, women and
men should not have the same smell. Men should smell like men and women should
smell like, well, women – fragrant, flowery, sweet-scented, soap? Whatever it is, there must be distinctions
otherwise if one smells like the opposite sex, then he or she belong to the
other side of the fence. He said, their
women prefer men who smell like men, and he meant – real men. So there you go!</div>

is an eye-opener. It enhances your sense
of respect - for other people and what-have-they and self-respect for

Like
someone said (don’t ask me who, I forgot) – “<i>The world is my city</i>”. I said, the world is a bowl of fruit salad – assorted

Who is Mikael
in case you’re wondering? No, he’s not
an imaginary creation, though I sometimes wish he is. He’s tangible, alive and kicking. Just someone who constantly bugs me with lots
of unnecessary but thought-provoking questions.<o:p></o:p></div>

The event was in time for the Halloween season, trick or treat is not a thing in this non-urban province and it was an excellent idea indeed to substitute that with a popular movie-themed activity.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
The youths of the city including perhaps those from the outlying towns poured into the vast area of Puerto Princesa city’s sports complex, orderly queuing eagerly to get free entry to the “zombie-zone”. It was four nights of thrill with participants terrifyingly running and screaming, amidst the swarm of zombies marching along the maze of several obstacles from piles of vehicle tires, aged vehicles, spiderweb-like passages, makeshift tunnels, improvised graveyard adorned with wooden coffins, crosses and tombs, ladies garbed in black veils crying over a dead body in a coffin, all these going on amidst the blue-lighted fog effects covering the area and the eerie sounds coming from giant speakers.<o:p></o:p></div>

Prizes await the winning participants. The Goal is – to get to the safe zone with at least 3 life flags. The life flags were given and tied around each participant’s waist which acts as “Runner’s Lives” that attract the attention of zombies. Once all the flags of a participant were grabbed by the zombies, he or she can still finish the race but is already considered as infected. Three remaining flags entitle the participant a prize.</div>

It was dubbed as the “first” run, so it’s gonna be an annual program for the city and everyone would be expecting and awaiting a different and bigger one on the next year’s #ZombieOutbreak. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
If I may suggest though, a one-day #ZombieParade would be an added attraction right before the start of the program, say, along the main thoroughfare of the city to inform and entice the residents and tourists who are not aware. I only found out when a friend tagged me along to the site. While on it, why not throw in some prizes too for the best and most terrifying costume or make-up effects. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
Well, if Baguio has their annual most-awaited “Panagbenga Festival” and Kalibo has their “Ati-Atihan”, Palawan may as well have its own, which in my opinion is quite unique and might as well be the host of a big annual gathering, to the tradition of Rio De Janeiro’s carnival. Just thinking out loud, but hey, why not?<br />

One of the overlooked sights in the city of pines, except of
course if one is a (devout) Christian, is the <i>Our Lady of Atonement Church</i>
or popularly known as <i>Baguio Cathedral</i>. <o:p></o:p></div>

The church is located right at the center above the famous Session
Road through a 100-step stairs with a metal hand railings. But if you’re one of those who have a 60-year
old lungs like me, I was was always panting, stopping midway, climbing that long stairs from Session Road. The easier way would be to walk to the end of the Session road way past
the Porta Vaga Mall and turn left at the Jollibee on the corner and you’ll find
the entrance with just few steps ascending up to the façade of the church. <o:p></o:p></div>

Apparently, the façade is painted in pink and light blue. The cathedral (similar to Puerto Princesa’s
Cathedral) is a reminiscent of medieval European architecture. Probably owing to the fact that the architect
and engineer who conceived the design is European (Belgian), Rev. Fr. Leo
Vendelmans with Fr. Adolph Cansse and two more brothers – Roman Catholic
missionaries of the Congregatio Immaculati Cordis Mariae from Scheut, Belgium. </div>

With the help of twenty five Igorot carpenters, the first phase of
the church started construction in 1920 and was finished in 1924. The two stunning square spires were added
later on. <o:p></o:p></div>

In history, isn’t it a common practice that churches are
customarily constructed on a hill or the highest point of a city or town? I can’t help but wonder - perhaps the

Few months back I have seen this Tagalog flick, well, not really
the whole movie, just some quick peeks as I was reading a book. Nah! – not really few glimpses, perhaps the
mid until the end of this quite horrible horror film entitled <i>White House</i>. It was my sister who was watching it and – (<i>please
allow me to introduce to you my sister now as I might be mentioning her in some
later posts</i>) – she is one of those persons who keeps on talking while
watching, couple that with the incessant simulated laughs if it’s comedy. She does that to attract my attention, so I’ll
be forced beyond my will to watch too.
She is my sister and I love her to bits, so as annoyed as I was - I did ! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
At the end of the movie – like I usually say on all rubbish films
– <i>I wasted another one hour or so of whatever precious time I am left with
in this beautiful world of ours</i>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Anyways, the house in the movie looks genuinely creepy, I am not
sure if the production effects has made it but it sure was an internet topic as
I found out later. <o:p></o:p></div>

The White House in Baguio is reputed to be haunted. I don’t subscribe much to ghost stories but
believe me I get scared sometimes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
I went to Baguio (and I’m still in Baguio by the way) and made it
a point to see the place. From Mines
View Park, we stopped by Wright Park, The Mansion, Botanical Garden and finally
– <b><i>14 Laperal</i></b> – The White <i>Haunted</i> House of Baguio City.<o:p></o:p></div>

When we approached the main gate, I was truly horrified – <b><i>with the Entry Fee</i></b> – at P50!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
The bigger and somewhat spookier Diplomat Hotel building and compound at the Dominican Hill is entry <b><i>free</i></b> whereas this small house charges 50 pesos? It doesn’t make any sense to me considering that the place is owned by the well-renowned business mogul – Lucio Tan. I didn’t quite get it. So we took some photos of the exterior - and guess what? We immediately left.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
That was more than two weeks ago, my sister left but I stayed. I realized the other day that I came all the way from a place far far away, what’s P50? I have got to strip off some of my stinginess, so I went <b>today</b>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
There was a local tourist couple there who I even volunteered taking their pics as they don’t have one of those narcissistic gadget called <i>selfie stick</i> and they are using a heavy DSLR. They went in and after I did a couple of shots around the perimeter of the house, I followed them. I paid the entry fee and had a very brief conversation with the lady at the entrance. Bluntly, I asked - <i>Is this place not owned by Lucio Tan, he’s a billionaire, right? What does he need the P50 entry fee for?</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
Apparently, the place was entrusted by the <i>owner</i> (one of his charitable deeds I suppose) to this <i>bamboo foundation</i> who manages the place and where artistic bamboo carvings were being exhibited. So clearly, you not only pay for the spine-chilling experience inside a <i>haunted house</i>, but also to view the lovely bamboo arts on display.</div>

<b>14 Laperal House</b> is almost a century old two-storey white wooden mansion plus a terrace room with a balcony overlooking the main road that holds a deep macabre history. The house located beside the Teacher's Camp along Leonard Wood Road was built during the 1930s and home of one of the city’s oldest clan – the Laperals - Don Roberto and Dona Victorina Laperal and family. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
Stories told, the house became a Japanese garrison during World War II, and like any other such places – tales of gruesome deaths occurred. Filipino men suspected of allying with the American forces were brutally tortured and women raped by the occupiers in the bedrooms of the house.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
Thereafter several stories emerged. Don Roberto Laperal himself fell to his death on the front concrete stairs of the house, a vehicular accident killed a little girl while crossing the road in front of the house, a house help committed suicide in one of the rooms, and so on.</div>

Getting back
to my visit - guess what? The couple who
went up stayed just a couple of minutes, they panicked perhaps and left? So I
roamed around the place <b><i>alone</i></b>. <o:p></o:p></div>

For devout Christians,
image of Christ on crucifix is on the wall right before ascending the second
floor, utter some prayers. Three sets of
shiny varnished old wooden staircase lead to the second level where the family bedrooms
are located. There were some locked doors on the
left side along a narrow corridor leading to a window overlooking the back
garden. There is a creaking screen
door that separates the staircase landing and the hallway to the rooms. I went inside the rooms, all wooden parquet
flooring, it is almost bare, not much to scrutinize except for some naked old beds on the smaller rooms, and a 70s or 80s model antique Sony television beside the fireplace at the master’s bedroom and a closed
veranda with a chair in one of the rooms.
A narrower staircase leads up to the upper mezzanine floor where for
some reason the door to the attic is opened and you could vividly see the
electrical wirings and wooden frames above the ceilings of the rooms of the second
floor. Now, that is a bit creepy,
reminded me of the movie <i>The Grudge.</i> There is a balcony where one can watch the
traffic down the main road below. </div>

The first
floor where I have spent a lot of time is the exhibit area for bamboo objet d’art,
some of them are equally creepy but mostly striking pieces of native art. <o:p></o:p></div>

The wooden Victorian-style
Laperal mansion is quite a nice vintage house.
It was around 4:00pm when I was at the house and it closes at
5:00pm.<br />
I was the only one there, I did
not hear any door or windows shutting, no footsteps, the lights were on the
whole time, the only thing watching over me were the old wooden walls of the
rooms, except for the occasional gust of the cold February winds coming from
the open windows no strange occurrence or feeling.<o:p></o:p></div>

For me - minus
the eeriness brought about by the spooky tales and ghastly history - it is
simply a white wooden mansion converted into a museum. Perhaps because it was day time? Perhaps
because I don’t have a <i>third eye</i>? Or probably it's somewhere along that famous line from the movie Jeepers Creepers 2 - <i>"<b>They can smell your fear.</b>"</i><o:p></o:p></div>

Is it worth
visiting? It depends on your interest and perspective on things. If only for its antique characteristics and for the beautiful bamboo carvings on exhibit, it would just be another okay tourist sight. It's like the historical city of <i><b>Troy</b></i> in Turkey, minus the guide narrating all the interesting history, it's just a piece of land and few structures.<br />

A tiny disappointing for me because after all the <i>entry free</i> highlights of
Baguio like Mines View Park, Wright Park, the lovely Botanical Garden which are all along the same jeepney route, all of a sudden, one has to pay 50 pesos entry fee for this museum? <o:p></o:p></div>

I have seen several tourists
stop by outside the gate, took some pictures and eventually left. I guess they find the P50 entry fee offensive. </div>

P30 would have
been reasonable, only then would I expect an increase in the number of visitors
coming to the place. Maybe I’m wrong - just my opinion.<o:p></o:p></div>
