Four Hours at Boracay, Philippines

Boracay is a very popular summer destination in the world. Many celebrities from the four corners of the globe have visited the island. Because of its popularity, my husband and I decided to check the place by land travel.

We boarded a plane to Iloilo City. We decided to visit three places during the trip – Iloilo City, Guimaras and Boracay Island. Our best chance to do it on time – before our flight back to Manila – is to catch a bus from Iloilo City to Kalibo, Aklan. Luckily, there are many cars for rent and buses in the place for land trip arrangements. Now, I remember the ease of relying on Car Rental Philippines services. It was an adventure, I must say.

On our way to Kalibo, Aklan, some burly kids threw stones in the bus. I wasn’t afraid because the driver of the bus didn’t mind the kids and just drove quickly to our destination.

Youth Cultural Event September 2014

Being part of a very organized religious group is a blessing. It’s one way to learn many things, including dealing a lot of people. In the process of coordinating with the people involved in a given activity, you’ll learn to adapt to different circumstances.

I was the one who arranged the transportation for the event. After all, I have researched about the car rental industry, specifically Orange Cars Philippines. Gladly, we had a smooth ride and everything happened perfectly.

The youth in our community was assigned to present a dance number named Foxtrot. They practiced for the dance number a month before the event. We had four pairs for the presentation.

We chose a pink color for their uniform because we had available pink dresses. The tailor re purposed the dresses for new look. The result is absolutely gorgeous. We heard comments that the attire of our young men and women dancers is fabulous.

We left the venue before sundown. Since it was a successful show, we took a lot of photos. We hope that there will be another plan for a cultural event next year.

Four Hiking Tips to Remember

The days we spent at Cogon Eco-Park are absolutely fun and exciting. We had many activities such as swimming in the river, hiking in the woods, visiting a well-known resort such as Watercamp Resort in Cavite and team building workshops. However, our favorite activity is hiking in the woods with other participants and climbing up on a very tall tree house. With that in mind, we’ve gathered the four tips for hikers to help you enjoy your own adventure.

1. Don’t forget to get off highways when resting. We know that highways are very dangerous. There are many accidents that happen in that area anywhere. 

 

2. Stay away from the bank of swiftly moving water and places where there might be quicksand. During our tour, we didn’t swim in the river without go signal from our guide. We’re afraid of being drowned or lost in the forest. Since swiftly moving water is common in hiking trails, we’re very careful as we trail along.

3. Stay with your group and obey instructions of the leader. Never go off planned route into strange swamps, woods or fields. This tip is very important for group leaders. Don’t allow the participants to step on restricted areas for obvious reasons.

4. Decide on a place to go, how to get there and how to get home, the number of participants and the supplies needed. During the planning process, create an orientation guide before the tour. The participants must be aware of the rules before the hiking activity.

Our recent hiking trip was successful because we followed the rules given by our guide. We didn’t roam around unknown areas in the park.

Do you have other hiking tips? Let us know in the comments section.
