I posted a blog on how to get to Marinduque recently and visitors might need a guide on how to get out. Getting in is easy but getting out is a piece of cake since there's only one port that operates, the Balanacan port.

We Filipinos love to shop and to eat! And what's the most
popular breakfast food we all loved together with fried rice, fried egg and
coffee? It's longganisa or others called langgonisa!
Calle Crosologo, also known as Mena Crisologo Street in Vigan City is the most popular tourist attraction in the province of Ilocos Sur. Named after Mena Pecson Crisologo, one of the most respected sons of Ilocos Sur. He wrote Mining Wenno Ayat Ti Karawa, an Ilocano translation of Don Quixote entitled Don Calixtofaro de la Kota Caballero de la Luna; and a zarzuela entitled Codigo Municipal. Many compare this to Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere.

Located in Brgy. Mataas na Bayan, Boac it is a historical church where the Katipunan Flag is said to have been baptized. The church was constructed in 1580 and completed in 1792.
Marinduque is well known for the Moriones Festival, celebrated every Semana Santa. This festival is the way of remembering how Jesus Christ died and resurrected.
Located just beside the Dumaluan Beach Resort is this grill which offer fresh seafood and meat that can be cooked the way you want them. This is said to be the cheapest restaurant in all of Panglao, though I can't compare because we didn't try the others. But based on the number of people that eat here, it's probably true.

It's been raining the whole time we stayed in Bohol so when we arrived at the farm, it has this very relaxing, fresh and cozy atmosphere. Growing up in the province, it's very nostalgic for me.
Cebu and Bohol are one of the neighboring provinces in the Philippines that can be reached via fast ferries & slow ferries (RoRo). If you get tired of the tourist attractions in Cebu, you can go to Bohol for a city tour or an island tour. It only takes an hour to 4 hours, depending on which port and ferries you want to take. If Cebu has 4 piers, Bohol only has two, Tubigon Port and Tagbilaran Port.

We were not able to get a flight directly from Bohol to Manila so we went back to Cebu to go back to Manila. We were supposed to stay the night again at Sampaguita Suites but since our friend, who supposed to come with us booked at Summit Circle Hotel, we just stayed there.
This is the 2nd oldest church in the island of Panglao and probably the least visited. However, this church, same as the Dauis church also has unique feature, they both have murals on the ceiling. The constructed started in 1894 and completed in the 1920's.
Located not far from the bridge that connects Panglao and Bohol is this another old and beautiful church. This is the only church I've seen with a well at the foot of the altar. The church was constructed in 1863 and completed in the early 1920's.
Dumaluan Beach Resort used to be just a family weekend getaway resort with only a nipa hut cottage as the accommodation. However, when the friends of the family start coming, they built more cottages to accommodate them.
Bohol Museum is one of the places you must see when you visit Bohol. It's the former President Carlos P. Garcia's home, located in the heart of Tagbilaran City.

Old Churches is one of the reasons why I wanted to visit Bohol. I've been to Ilocos and I've seen some of the old churches there, so I searched for other province that have many old churches, and Bohol is one of them. La Purisima Concepcion de la Virgen Maria Parish Church or Baclayon Church, also called The Immaculate Concepcion of the Virgin May Parish Church is one of the oldest churches in the country.

Located in the heart of Tubigon is standing this old church, proudly and beautifully. It caught my attention when we walk around the town's plaza to find food. The church was constructed in 1886 and its bell tower from 1928 to 1934.
This shrine is built in commemoration of the blood compact or Sandugo between the Spanish explorer Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and the Bohol chieftain, Datu Sikatuna. This is to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition.
Is a Christian cross planted as ordered by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan when he first set foot in Cebu, Philippines. It's now housed in a chapel beside the Basilica Menor del Santo Nino church.
Below is a sample of our detailed 3D/3N Cebu - Bohol - Cebu trip from August 23 to August 26, 2013. We arrived in Cebu on the 23rd at 10:00pm so we stayed a night at Sampaguita Suites for our trip to Bohol early in the morning.
Aside from Lechon, Cebu is also home to the best guitar craftsmen in the Philippines. Not only it's delicately crafted, but has great quality and very affordable. There are a lot of guitar makers in Cebu, but Alegre Guitars is the most popular.
Also called Liberty Shrine or Lapu-Lapu Shrine is built in honor of Datu Lapu-Lapu, Ferdinand Magellan and the Battle of Mactan. In the site the first thing you'll see when you enter is the Magellan Shrine, built in memory of the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan.
If you love barbecue, this is really the perfect place for you! Larsian is not a restaurant but a place where small eateries are located. One of the prominent eating havens in Cebu. Visiting Cebu without eating here is really not complete. This is the best to have that Cebu experience!
Also knows as The Metropolitan Cathedral of the Most Holy Name of Jesus and St. Vitales and The Metropolitan Cathedral of St. Vitales, the first church in the Philippines that is dedicated to St. Vitales. It was built by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and Fray Andres de Urdaneta in 1909. It was reconstructed in 1950 after the World War II.

They said a trip to Cebu is not complete without eating in this restaurant and I couldn't agree more. After a very tiring but exhilarating morning, my favorite time of of day comes, eating time! I was actually looking forward to eat in this restaurant because I've read so many good reviews.

Bohol
is not only known for amazing Chocolate Hills, beautiful islands and
exotic seashells, they are also known for its caves. A total of 1,400
caves have been counted in the province and there are still some that
are not discovered yet. You don't need to go far to see one, though,
because Hinagdanan Cave is very accessible from Panglao town proper

From the butterflies’ center going to Tagbilaran, you will pass by this man-made forest. The only thing I'm thankful that it's raining when we visit Bohol is this. The rain really makes the forest so green, fresh and cool.
As soon as you enter the center you will be greeted by friendly staffs and tour guides. After paying the entrance fee, we were guided by our tour guide to the Visitors Center where different species of butterflies were preserved and displays in an in-cased glass.

If you are coming from Cebu via Tubigon Port, Bohol and want to start your adventure right away, the best place to go is the Sagbayan Peak. Sagbayan is one of the 3 among 1,776 chocolate hills that was developed into a resort for tourism purposes. This government owned mountain resort is the best place to have a sneak peek of the famous chocolate hills. Its name came from word "Sagbayan" which mean "the practice of hanging a deer to dry after the hunting expedition". It also means a "place for hanging" from the word sagbay which mean "to hang". It can also be "a place to hang with friends and family".

When I was a kid, I really thought these hills are made of chocolate. By the time I learned that they are not, I started wondering why they are called chocolate hills. I've wanted to see them before my eyes, and when I finally did, I was so awed and amazed. They really are wonderful! One will really wonder how great nature can be. Now I understand why it's one of the natural Wonders of the World.

A home for the finest Lambanog (local alcoholic drink) in the country was a former capital of Quezon Province. The city is known for its sweet delicacies, heritage houses, historical landmarks and tourism resorts. It’s named City of Festivals because of its wonderful and colorful festivals.
Just a few minutes walk from Casa Comunidad is the Mi Casa en Tayabas. I've read a lot of good reviews about this hotel so I wanted to see it for myself. I'm not sure if they have guests at the time I went there, but I didn't see anyone.
This is considered one of the oldest and biggest churches in the country. Renowned for the having the shape of a key, its aisle is considered the longest in the country. This church was originally established in 1578 and has a lot of renovations, reconstructions and expansions. The church as it stands now was completed in 1894.
I’ve been to Lucban once before, when my family and I visited the Kamay ni Hesus shrine. However, it never came to my mind that there are other places we can see in this town so I promised to come back.
