Exploring Philippines: Visiting the Island Province of Guimaras

The main purpose of visiting the Province of Guimaras is the site visit of the newly installed Wind Farm.

We started off, by taking a pumpboat from Iloilo to Jordan Ferry Terminal. Since, we’re a group of 11 and with no time to wait for other passengers to fill-in the ferry, the bosses (because there were 5 managers with us) decided to pay the single trip with only the 11 of us on board at P500.00. 

Ten to Fifteen minutes later we arrived at Guimaras Island.

Loving Sky Ranch, Tagaytay in Less Than 3-Hours

Remember our one week official travel in Laguna? Well, one beautiful afternoon after our activity, our group went out for a short trip to Sky Ranch, Tagaytay. At first, I thought that Tagaytay is too far from Biñan, Laguna but turned out to be less than an hour trip, considering the less traffic on a Wednesday, afternoon. We arrived in Tagaytay, almost 6PM, the sky was already dusk after the sun has set. Too bad we can’t see Taal Lake from the Ranch.

Visiting the place on weekdays is a very good choice, because you get to enjoy the place minus the bunch of people unlike on weekends.

First Family Vacation 2013: Manila Ocean Park - Oceanarium

Why I chose Metro Manila as our first destination this year’s Vacation, was because I want my little boy to see the fishes, the water creatures + the birds. Manila Ocean Park is the best place to see them up close here in the Philippines.

We arrived at Metro Manila on January 24, 2013 around 10AM, checked-in at Tune Hotels and in the afternoon off we went to Manila Ocean Park. We arrived there a round 4PM too late to watch the Sea Lion Show so we availed only the Oceanarium + Musical Fountain Show package at P500.00 + P150 for the Kingdom of Prey experience.

Our First Stop was the Kingdom of Prey (I’ll make a separate post for this one soon), then the Oceanarium and these are the photos that we’re able to take. But unfortunately most were dark because flash photography is not allowed. Nevertheless, the photos are still passable.

Manila Ocean Park is indeed a friendly place for adults and kids. We are lucky to have this one of a kind water attraction in our country.
