    Just a few steps from Zamboanga City Hall, Fort Pilar is a must visit tourist site in Zamboanga City. Managed by the National Museum, it is a nice place to unwind and know more about the history of Zamboanga. The place is well-maintained and entrance is free! During our visit, there were 4 exhibitions and we had a grand time marveling at each exhibit.

    After your visit, walk a few steps towards Paseo del Mar and enjoy the sunset view while eating at one of the restaurants inside the park.

    Will definitely be back!

    It was an answered prayer and a big check ✔️ on my bucket list to visit the Divine Mercy Shrine in El Salvador, Misamis Oriental where I had a Divine Mercy Holy Week 2019 Pilgrimage where I pray for miracles and healing.

    Maam Elizabeth, on Holy Thursday during my first night at the shrine over dinner right after the holy mass, I was totally moved to tears and all of my body hair raised up from the tip of my head up to the hairs on my legs by her powerful testimonial that totally blew me off. I was absolutely speechless and in mixed emotions. It made me reflect and praise in silence the wonder of God's miracle from the moment she decided to end her life by committing suicide more than a decade ago and, as she found her painless body opened up on the operating table in the hospital after 6 months praying the "Lord of Pardon" booklet when she accepted the Divine Mercy of Our Lord Jesus Christ into her life. She gave me her booklet to pray for healing.

    On Good Friday, I prayed the Day 1 of the 9 days Divine Mercy novena with the chaplet at the Divine Mercy Hour at 3PM facing the 50ft statue. During the Santo Entierro Procession at around 5PM, God sent a Dancing Sun/Miracle of the Sun. It was the third time I personally experienced this phenomenon.

    When we went to have a beach vacation at Siargao, it was indeed a relaxing vacation. Going here is fun and I personally enjoy our experience here. The accommodation is nice and is air-conditioned, you can choose what cottage you will get because they have a cottage for small family and bigger family that could accommodate up to 15 pax. You just have to be ready with the mosquitos at night when you go out on the Island. We also did experience the high tide and the low tide in the surfing beach site and when it's low tide, it's a low tide that the corals are visible and the water is only up to your ankle.

    This place far exceeded my expectations. The grounds provide well-maintained pastures, plantations and cropland. The cafe has excellent coffee and sweets. The gift shop is piled with goodies... snacks, home-grown coffee, honey, jams, and much more... all at very reasonable prices! Don't miss the small museum of elaborately woven vestments produced decades ago... some for very special occasions. The church is peaceful and simple... just right for a bit of personal reflection.

    Great for a photo but that’s about it. No entry fee, very easily accessible by scooter from the main town. All in all good for a quick stop.

    I have been hearing about these tunnels for years. Drove past them so decided to go and take a look. Worth a visit. My wife a Filipino was very upset to see the conditions underground that Filipinos were made to work under. The staff were very friendly and the guide very good. Do not go if you are clostrophobic you have to duck your head in a few places.

    If you are interested to experience on some local trade and fishing industry, this is place to visit in GenSan. Fishing boats arrive early to unload their catch and see the auction of tuna in the fish port. You have to get permission to enter the area since restricted from general public.

    While inside you can watch frozen tuna unloaded for trade, testing and initial sorting. You can take pictures and talk with local workers. It’s a great and memorable experience. Recommended

    This place has everything a tourist is looking for: waves hitting the seawall, fishing boats leaving the jetty at sunset, joggers, romantic couples, bikers, live bands, fresh sea foods, zumba dancers, entertainment, sporting events or a beach to put your bare feet during low tide.
    I got stranded here so i used the time to explore what Dipolog has to offer.I arrived here from my Camiguin and Mindanao tour on March 8. On the 16th the place was on a lockdown mode. No transport. So I bought an old bike to explore this area every afternoon. When the city reverted to GCQ people started to do their jogging here. It was back to business since the local government recorded a Zero Covid 19 case here. In short, this area is the best place to get stranded. Food affordable and every place is a walking distance. This stgretch of cemented infrastructure has lengthened to more than 3 kms and has reached the feeder RORO port in barangay Galas. At the end of the sunset boulev ard you can swim since there are beach resorts there. I used to swim thrice a week at the end of the boulevard where i swam with the kids in the morning.

    Last December, I took my first ever trip to the Rizal srhine in Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte. It was a very educational and relaxing walking tour that encompassed several different structures which included both preserved and restored buildings from National Hero Jose Rizal's residence and medical clinic while he lived in exile in Dapitan. I was unable to go to the Museum as it was closed for the day (30 November being a holiday, Bonifacio Day, ironically enough), but being able to visit the various spots around the compound was satisfying enough. With an animated and friendly volunteer giving us a tour, it was an even more pleasant experience.

    Arriving before noon at the CBO Airport, I negotiated a taxi($10) for the 11km northwest on a good concrete road to see this 3rd largest mosque in southeast Asia. It was built in 2011 with 141' minarets and impressively sited at the mouth of the Tamontaka River. 1/2 financed by Brunei.
    The taxi($10) then took us 11km NE to our hotel in the center city.
