    An interesting visit that highlights the heroics of local heroes over “European Aggression.” A perspective of history, colonial expansion, and current events around the world.

    If you have some time to spare, take a short boat ride to Caohagan Island from Lapu Lapu jetty in Cebu. The island has about 150 local families who make a living by fishing and selling ornaments made from shells. You can buy some fresh seafood and get them cooked by the locals.
    There is a entry fee of 200 php per person with kids charged at 100 php.

    It was my first time to visit the church as an adult (and almost a senior citizen at that). Years back when I was a child, my father (may he rest in peace) used to bring us kids to this church that had a black Mary as patron. People say the Virgin's intercession is miraculous, hence, plenty of devotees go there for their intentions.

    We got there at around 9PM and I heard the caretaker say, "let's close for now". Luckily, we were still admitted and lo and behold, there was a long queue towards the Virgin image even at that late hour, people silently waiting for their turn to venerate.

    After lighting a candle, paying my respects and saying my intentions for my God through the Mother's intercession, we made our way out to the market to catch a ride, where a lot of people were standing in every corner waiting for their ride, too. And it was already around 10PM!

    Anyway, the experience was sort of a 'bunot-tinik'; I felt great relief that I was able to revisit the church and expressed my sincerest prayer for the total recovery of my brother back home who's in an unresponsive wakefulness state. May the Lord hear my plea.

    'Para akong nabunutan ng tinik sa dibdib'. I felt like a spot in my heart was pierced. Sentimental lang...

    it's a good place to stay in Lapu-lapu while waiting for your check-in time... though you have to carry with you your baggage because they don't allow you to leave your baggage on their baggage counter. :-(

    We did a great fun in Olango View Deck. Good that we were able to catch-up with the photography masters of the sanctuary. We are made models by them. and we get to have the experience of looking at the birds faraway using their high-end telescope. Great experience indeed.

    Their new branch has something to boast about, especially the attentiveness and accommodation they had given to us.

    A nice beach with a 100php cover to enter. Have to walk down and “private road” to enter.

    There are toilets and showers available for a 20PHP fee. Must pay 1500+ for a gazebo or u can just lay down by the water.

    Spent about 4 hours there lots of locals all very friendly. You can purchase ice cream from a local for 15PHP.

    NOT a WOW beach but it’s something.

    Tried this place twice already, great selection of affordable Mix Nationality Food Cuisine. Many seats available compared to the other food market in Basak. Give it a try.

    Service is not bad after all based on my experience, they treat their customer as if they are family. I don't have so much to say to their skilled therapists for they are perfect for their positions they are well trained. Gold moon spa is a wide space that you want to roam around and take picture.
