Where in the world is CEB?

"Who the hell is CEB by the way?" My friend asked me out of sheer innocent stupidity. For almost 5 years of flying Cebu Pacific she don't have a single idea of where was who. And I thought I know the answer too. So we ended up reading the whole post and realized Cebu Pacific just recently baptized their mascot naming it 'Ceb'. And to spread the word they launch a promo "Where in the world is CEB?". 

For details please don't ask me just stare and you will see!

Everything you need to know about Argao!

Oh and by the way just in case you do not know the former Chief Justice of the country grew up in Argao. And yes I am talking about Hilario Davide. Argao is a simple yet vibrant town located in southeastern part of Cebu province and approximately 68 kilometers form Cebu city. It is one of the oldest town in the country evident by its colonial structures, old churches and houses dated way back the 15th and 16th century. In fact they just celebrated their 400 years of township. Argao is famous for their "torta" a local pastry, 'Balay sa Agta", and their free wifi access in town center. Bugasok falls and Riverstone Castle Resort are also fast-becoming tourist destination among locals.

Tourist and visitors can take advantage of lodging houses, beach resorts and hostels in Argao for as low as P450 a night. Argao is very accessible by Bus (southbus terminal) from Cebu City for only P80. From poblacion argao you can take a tricycle going to the nearest beach resorts which normally charges P7-10.

If you have question pls feel free to post it on the comment section.

Thanks and enjoy!

The Old-Fashioned Colon Street


You've been to Cebu if you already crossed the oldest street in the Philippines, and yes I am talking about Colon. It was built by Spaniards during the 16th century and was named after Christopher Columbus whose name in Spanish is Cristobal Colon. Colon failed to preserved its business district reputation but successfully restored it's historical and glorious past. Feel the nostalgia and take a glimpse of its history through old buildings  and structures. Colon is at the heart of downtown area and is very accessible by local transportation.
