... members had long hair and flowing beards, originally thought to "shadow" the face of God. For his followers, General Moncado was a teacher, a prophet believed to have the power to heal and the source of the group’s spiritual strength.

The combination of unparallel natural beauty and exotic attractions, its breathtaking panoramas, the warmth and the hospitality of its friendly people make the tropical island of Samal a real paradise on earth.

... together on a row. We weren’t by the window so we could barely see. I saw some cabin crew sit on seats that looked like car seats for babies. One of the cabin crew had to sit facing the back of the plane so it felt like he was falling. It would have been scary for me. They gave out snacks and drinks. It took one and a half hours. I looked at comics on the newspaper ...

Davao

We woke up at 5:30 and took a taxi to the board the plane to Davao. We were going to stay at Marco Polo hotel. It only took one hour and thirty minutes. We flew on Philippines Airlines. I sat by Mum this time. When arrived we took the hotel's taxi to Macro Polo. Davao was like a small town. It was in Mindanao. We arrived at the hotel it looked like the only fancy building in Davao. There was a ...

... to end my time in the Philippines. I became a local in the neighbourhood and a member of their ...

... very much accomodating. We did not have to ask for their service, they knew right away what we needed. Excellent service indeed!!! Our favorite spot was the infinity pool... great for "photo ops". Day 4 we travelled by land and headed to Dipolog City. We arrived the port just in time. Ours were the last ferry trip ...

... go-go-go till I left Davao yesterday. I think there was a bit of trepidation on both sides of the ocean before I arrived... It's been SUCH a long time since I connected with my cousins here. The last time my family and I visited was in 1995, when I was around 16. I wasn't sure if I'd recognize my relatives or if they would recognize me. I think there was a bit of worry as to whether or not we'd be able to relate to each other, since I grew up in ...

Davao It's so nice to be out of Manila. What a totally different feel arriving in Davao. On arrival it's clearly stated on billboard, Davao is the most livable city in Asia, but I do suspect the locals voted themselves that, but as Filipino cities go, it's not too bad at all. The difference in traffic is the first thing you notice, much less humanity in ...

... through puddles alongside us. Finally arriving at the Domestic Terminal, Bing was stopped at the front door as the guard required IDs and tickets to proceed further. We arrived inside at 14:45 just at the scheduled time of departure. We hurried anyway hoping something would work out. To our delight we learned that the flight to Davao was delayed by 65 minutes to 15:50. The plane was late and in addition, the computer systems were down, so all check-in ...

The weather was hot and humid. The rain was a welcome treat. It cools off the environment. We stayed at my brother's house which was a walking disctance to the beach. The kids loved it. I really indulged myself in some of the Philippines fruits like lanzones and durian. We went to Eden Nature Park. We started by taking the shuttle guided tour and had a quick glimpse of the place. Then we walked around the park. The kids had fun learning the Filipino ...

... to learn more, to meet more people and to try way more things and some day maybe, understand more! Let's say that if I have a goal in life, it will be to go to every single country on planet Earth! It's going to take a long time but I have the 'time' (I hope). I don't really know yet what I want to do with that blog. I have never even written a diary, so for me, who has no talent for writing, it ...
