People i met here, who contributed to and improved my trip: Julia (Russia) Tuesday was a much anticipated day, as we were going to see the best of Bohol. We made an early start and top of our agenda was a visit to the Tarsier centre, located around 15km north east of Tagbilaran. We had seen the pictures and heard the stories about these loveable little critters, but seeing them for the first time was still a pretty remarkable experience. Clinging to a tree branch and no larger than...

Sandugo   (July1-2 / Tagbilaran, Bohol) Sandugo Festival is a yearly historical event that takes place every year on the month of March, in the island of Bohol.

Tagbilaran City really is a good base if you would prefer to commute to see the Bohol sights, such as the Chocolate Hills, Loboc River and the various centuries-old churches -- Baclayon among them.  I couldn't help but watch Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End on its first day of showing (simultaneous with Manila and I guess worldwide).  The funny thing was, Tagbilaran had very good cinemas (with Dolby Stereo Surround), but not as many people watched the movie.  In Manila,...

Went to Bohol 2 last 2007. Can never get enough of that place - Its just absolutely beautiful! 1st trip (May), with my High school friends. Road trip around Bohol and ended it n Bohol Beach Club for a swim. Spent the night at the ancestral home of my friend's cousin. Next trip (Oct),Birthday Celebration with my College friends (thanks to Cebu Pacific's Piso fare). Good times!

After a merely 2-hour ferry ride from Cebu, we finally reached Tagbilaran City. Our friendly tour guide Mang Jun greeted us at the ferry port. First off, we dropped by the department store to buy goodies we'll be needing for our 3-day stay at the beach. I'm pretty sure those goodies are overpriced at the resort, haha! Then we started the countryside tour. We passed by St. Joseph's Cathedral, built in the 1800's. He's the patron saint of the city. This old church is right across the Capitol. D...

At the time all documents of immigration where oké, I went back to the Philippines to pick up my girlfriend and start a new life together in the Netherlands.

After I have met my girlfriend (now my wife) through the internet, I went to the Philippines to meet her and her family.
