Dalaguete, Cebu - The home of the famous trekking site "The Osmeña Peak". Dalaguete is also the vegetable basket of Cebu since majority source of the vegetables is from here. The town is located south of Cebu and can be access by Bus which will cost you from P90 to P100 from Cebu City.

The shoreline of Dalaguete Beach Park - #LaagPaMore

When speaking of Dalaguete, people would think of mountain areas, vegetables or forests. Actually, they also have beaches. the most popular is the DALAGUETE BEACH PARK located at Brgy. Casay. I've read a lot of good feedbacks from other bloggers regarding the place. Specifically from Hannah Of iJuanderCebu. But when we visit the place, my experience was totally different.

We reach the place via a motorcycle or commonly known as habal-habal. The fare from the main road is P20 although its a walking distance. Then you have to pay for the entrance fee of P20 per person. You can also rent rotten cottages or tables which will cost you P260 for the cottage and P160 for the table. Sorry for being rude on the description. It's just the park has not been well-maintained. No wonder since the park is owned by Government but how come its not free. People of the Philippines will know why.

During our visit there are no other people aside from us and another group. The place is very solemn and perfect for relaxation but don't expect for a bench. There is none. Also they have a long area of white sand where you can have your team building activities. The sand is white in fairness ...

If you'd like to rinse with fresh water, that would be another P20. What I hated the most is when my colleagues have to change clothes we are instructed by the personnel to use the CR at a distant. Yes! It's really far and to think they are wet so we came up to use the towels / malongs to cover as walls. But to our surprise the staffs of the resort including the security guards are trying to peak on my colleagues. HORRIBLE! So if I'm to rate the beach is not that unique so it would be 1 out of 5 stars.

"Where do you spend your holy week vacation? Why not try something remarkable... "

Bantayan Island, Cebu - is a tourist destination island located at the northern tip of Cebu Province. Famous for its white sand and most of all the island is famous for its celebration during the holy week.

Well, to clear out things the celebration is not basically a fiesta but a holy week celebration itself. According to some sources the people of the island is exempt for abstinence of meat as it was declared by the Papal Indult during the 1840's. Why? Bantayan is a fishing island and during the holy week the fishermen refuse to go fishing becuase it is a widely belief that fishing during the day is a misfortune and is likely to accidents. Therefore, seafoods are scarce during the holiday and to ensure the people will subscribe during the holiday the church officials considers the eating of meat.

Since it's summer this is a perfect place to spend your summer and participate the holy week tradition. It's like hitting two goals in a single hit.

To reach the island, take a bus ride from the North Bus Terminal, Cebu to Hagnaya Port. Then from Hagnaya Port take a boat to Sta. Fe, Bantayan Island. I recommend not to take the bus going directly to Bantayan Island. If you are to compare, you can save if you're gonna stop at Hagnaya Port. The Bus going directly to Bantayan Island is P200 for air conditioned with a separate fare for the ferry boat. And other disadvantage is the bus has a limited schedule which will pissed you off for sure.

When you arrived at Sta. Fe, expect all the resorts are fully booked but its not a problem you'll have alot of options to stay in the island during the holiday. Either you will rent some rooms from the local townsfolk or go to resorts which offers tents for rental. As our experience, we went to Sugar Beach, Sta. Fe and rent a tent which can occupy at least 4 people for P700. Then you can rent an additional bed foams for about P200.

The resort was indeed flock by number of tents from the resort's garden to the seashore. Looks like everyone is having a camping adventure.

Party? Yes! There we're lots of parties along the beaches including disco, music bands and many more.

Hope to see you there at 2016 Holy Week and have a great summer!
