Discover Camotes, Cebu

There is a paradise island northeast of Cebu waiting to be discovered and explored. I am sure not all of you had gone there. Even I, who had lived in Cebu most of my life, had only gone there once, two weeks ago. I am referring to Camotes, and the towns of San Francisco, Poro, Tudela and Pilar.

Bantayan Island, Cebu: Holy Week Destination

Bantayan Bantayan

Where else would you find a pier that looks like a large swimming pool with white sand and crytal clear waters? For the few times I had been to the place, I really wanted to jump off the boat and into cool waters.

Bantayan Island, located at the Northern tip of Cebu, is considered as one of the most attractive tourist haven in the Philippines. It is also the favorite destination of local tourists during the Holy Week.
