In case you are wondering where General Trias City is found, it is located in Cavite, and is one of the progressive towns in the province.  It is but a stone's throw away from the CEPZA (Cavite Export Processing Zone) In fact, due to many constructions and developments around the area, traffic has become horrendous.  What used to be a sluggish town has become a bustling area.  The influx of businesses catering to Korean tourists also contributed to the sudden economic surge in the area. In case you will find yourself in the area, here are 5 things you can do: 1.  Visit and Pray at St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church: There are many St. Francis of Assisi Parish Churches in the Philippines.  I can name at least 3.  But this is a historical church and is one of the oldest churches in the province of Cavite.  This church is admired for its attractive architecture and religious significance . If you're interested in local history and culture, this is worth...

  Rodriguez was formerly known as Montalban.  It is situated in the province of Rizal, at the foot of Sierra Madre.  It is the nearest town to Quezon City, through the Payatas Road that snakes by the hillside passing by Litex and exiting to Commonwealth Avenue. Montalban started developing in the late 90s when residential homes were built.  Although many government housing projects have been set up before just like the Amityville subdivision, the development was slow because transportation was very limited.  Very few jeepneys plied the Montalban-Litex Routes and Montalban-Cubao route.  Nowadays, traffic is on a 24-hour run and many establishments are now open 24/7.    Montalban offers a mix of natural attractions and recreational activities. Here are five things you can do in Rodriguez, Rizal:   (Wikipedia)   1.  Visit Wawa Dam .  It is a picturesque reservoir surrounded by lush greenery. You can enjoy a leisurely walk by ...

It is not always that one gets to see a mountain slope that is covered with all sorts of flowers, some of them I can't even pronounce, but what a stunning view it is.  I instantly thanked the Creator for giving humans such lovely forms of nature upon seeing that breathtaking sight.  This is what welcomes guests upon arriving at Northern Blossom up in the mountain of Atok, Benguet.   Location of  Northern Blossom: Northern Blossom is located up in Barangay Sayangan, in Atok, Benguet, along the Halsema Highway.   Halsema is that highway that you'd come out of Baguio through until the Municipality of Atok. It is a particularly great ride if your favorite cruising songs are playing in the background and you are overlooking a tranquil mountainside in the early morning with faint sunrise lighting up the early dawn.  And the cold morning breeze envelopes your face...you'd wish the journey would be neverending. Entrance Fee to Northern Blossom: Adults - P...

Winners of the Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageant namely: Bb. Pilipinas Universe, Pia Wurtbach; Bb. Pilipinas International, Janicel Lubina; Bb. Pilipinas Supranational, Ms. Rogelie Catacutan, Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental, Cristi McGarry; and Bb. Pilipinas-tourism, Lorraine Golis, are the current endorsers of Dairy Queen, the ice cream that we all associate with the iconic word 'blizzard.'  Blizzard is served upside down to prove the consistency of its components.    I remember that I consider eating Dairy Queen as a treat, it's not the ordinary run-of-the-mill ice cream.  It's more expensive yet, many times more delicious than most ice creams we all have gotten used to.    Pia and her entourage also are featured in the first thematic television commercial of Dairy Queen.  Incidentally, Dairy Queen International celebrated its 75th anniversary on June 23, 2015.  Imagine that, little do we know that Dairy Queen has already been around ...

    One of the reasons that tourists go to Mt. Mayon in droves is the ATV Adventure.   This activity allows tourists to go to the foot of Mt.  Mayon and see the beauty of this great lady up close by means of an all-terrain vehicle.  Up there, visitors can also enjoy the view of the city of Legaspi.  They can also savor the scent of the clean mountain air and get lots and lots of photographs amid the verdant background.  ATV stands for all-terrain vehicle.  This transportation is especially built to enable riders to get past all kinds of terrain , may it be rough, rocky, watery, sandy, muddy, hilly, etc.  It is basically automatic, but it also has gears (I wouldn't know when to use them, if you ask me.)    Before I started my three-hour drive to the foot of Mt. Mayon, I had a quick dry-run just to test if the machine was working well.  Also I made sure that  I was wearing all the necessary gears to keep me sa...
