Discover Hermit's Cove in Aloguinsan



This hidden gem is located in Brgy Kantabogon in Aloguinsan southwestern part of Cebu. The attraction which offers nature experience by the beach, cruising the river or relaxing at the top of the mountain is just recently develop. It is currently managed by the local government so do not expect commercial resort type amenities (no pun intended). In fact there are no cottages and function halls or even a room to stay overnight. So your best option is to camp somewhere within close proximity as it is not allowed as of this writing to camp in the beach area overnight. Liquors and other alcoholic beverages are also not allowed. Yes, they want to preserve the place as wholesomy as possible for the sake of everyone.

So how to get there:

1. Take a Bus (SouthBus Terminal) to Aloguinsan
Fare: P70 (one way, usually take 2 hours)
2. Ask the bus attendant (or what we called, conductor) to drop you off at Aloguinsan where the Habal2x drivers to Brgy Kantabogon parks.
Habal2x (Single Motor) cost around P50, if you are white (Koreans are not exempted) they might charge you extra.
3. The Habal2x driver will drop you at the entrance of Hermits Cove.
Entrance fee: P100

Insider tip: Bojo River Cruise is also available for P400 just ask the resort attendant.
Bus plying the route going back to the city is available until 2:30 PM or you can have a detour via Toledo City if you want to stay longer.

Everything you need to know about CebuPac Piso Sale 2016!

Cebu Pacific Air - a Philippine based low-cost airline, serving to almost 60 destinations worldwide is periodically giving out seat sales including the famous Piso Sale. I had my share of trying out their promos and yes it is not a walk in the park. As we all know, you have to go thru some challenges of scouring their website, finding the best dates, patiently completing the steps up until the payment option only to experience system downtime and you have to go thru the same hurdle all over again. But if you gone thru the payment option and made it to your itinerary, Congratulations, you have successfully booked a flight.

Ok seriously please follow these easy steps if you are really on a budget for that piso seat because why not;

1. Keep on refreshing the page, yes, like 20x or even more.
2. If you have no fix destination or you just want to take advantage of the sale then look for the route less traveled.
3.You might want to check the site at 4 o'clock in the morning while everyone is sleeping but not guaranteed.
4. If you are really that desperate then take a leave out from the office and stay in your room checking the site every moment within the sale period (yes, im serious!)
5. And lastly bring some extra patient like lots of them.
6. The number 4 is just a doomsday scenario just kidding hehe.

Now for the best part, expect some late arrivals, flight changes, delayed and worst cancelled flights, but that would be another blog post. Cheers and please make sure to come back later!
