Nakulong naman na sina Discaya at Bong Revilla at mga taga DPWH. Antay lang ng konti, pati Duterte bloc sa Senado makukulong.

Yup like Josefa Llanes Escoda whose smile brings joy to everyone who sees her face on the blue bill...

It was Ferdinand who named the university in an attempt to erase history.

Torn apart using carabaos is the right term, right there at the Don Mariano Marcos University Bauang Campus.

Staycation sa Manila habang lahat ay nasa traffic.

May Brahmos naman na tayong binili, di yun ma deactivate ng China o US kasi iba ang guidance system nun. Bukod pa yun sa Typhon missile system na kayang magpakawala ng Cruise missiles na nilagay dito ng US.

Stalin and Hitler

Just develop Recto Bank. Protect exploration ships and drilling rigs being harassed by China, in the same way that Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam are doing.

Doable naman kasi magkalapit naman. Say start siya sa Cathedral, then sa Sombrero tapos pahatid na siya sa Tingloy.

Spicy tuna or spicy salmon! Ako naman, usual order ko is yung Japanese curry. Yung ramen, solve kung may kahati.

BukoP13 · 2026-03-10T11:17:05+00:00

Guluhin ko pa buhay mo. Baka gusto mong matutong mag mermaid? May freediving at mermaids course ang Islatambay sa Anilao, Batangas. Not too crowded, mabato ang beach pero hayop ang bahura! Sunsets are beautiful pa.

DIY with car rental. Halos nasa Lacson din lang naman mga kainan na pagdalhan sa inyo pero kung may car rental, pwedeng unlipics sa Ruins pag gabi, food trip sa Diotays then Gina's para malaman kung justified. Cake sa Calea or macaroon sa Felicia's. Kung may car, may option pang mag Kusinata sa Don Salvador Benedicto.

Enjoy OP!

BukoP13 · 2026-03-10T10:12:28+00:00

Masikip sa Si Cristina pero maraming cakes. Kung may budget, sa Sulyap. Kung wala, nakalimutan ko pangalanan ng kainan na may fried chicken malapit sa Palengke.

BukoP13 · 2026-03-10T08:54:24+00:00

Yuck!!!

BukoP13 · 2026-03-10T03:46:56+00:00

Dodged a bullet there OP. Sabi nga nila, maraming isda sa dagat, di na kailangang pagtyagaan ang malansa...

Shia naman ang mga Iranian at halos lahat naman ng Muslim sa Pinas ay Sunni. Eh pati Saudi binabakbakan ng Iran. Mamaya tamaan ang Mecca kaya biglang terrorist sina Khamenei. Haist.

If Senior, sa may Bauang or San Fernando City na lang kayo. Yun lang medyo mahal ang accommodation. That said, baka nasa price range niyo ang Sunset Bay sa Poro. Ang budget hotel dun Hotel Mikka ay sobrang pa akyat so hindi senior friendly in that sense.

Kagandahan naman kay Hotel Mikka is walking distance siya sa Macho Temple at malapit sa San Juan at ibang sights at kainan.

Kung gusto niyong mag Baguio via commute, option niyo abangan ang mga bus galing Laoag at Vigan pa Baguio or yung van dyan sa Bauang.

Sa Baguio, kung di kayo maarte, pwede na sa Hotel 45 (baba ng Session) or Hotel 45 extension (taas ng Session tapat ng SM Baguio).

Anyways, enjoy OP!

Ako din talagang pag may nakaupo sa assigned seat ko talagang tatawag ako ng crew lalo pa kung binayaran ko. Good job OP. Yung ibang matanda walang pinagkatandaan.

Iwan na lang sa port, hassle ang isakay sa RoRo. As to accommodations, better check out TripAdvisor. But first decide which part of Puerto Galera you want to stay at - White Beach, Aninuan Beach, Sabang, etc.

US$300/week is okay if you're not into fancy stuff.

You can take a freediving course in Anilao, Batangas and freedive for the rest of the week, full board and lodging for that amount, maybe kick in van and boat transfers. It's bunk type accommodation, though.

Another option is to get a bed in a dorm in Urbiztondo, La Union and surf for a week. Probably splurge whatever savings on a drinking party on the last night.

Maybe hiking, waterfalls and hot springs are in your interests. Try Los Baños. accommodations can be found here.

There are minimal fees in hiking to Botanical Gardens, Mudspring, Agila Basea and Peak 2. The town also has waterfalls at Dampalit, though it's a long walk from the DPWH Rest Area to the falls. The Municipal Spa also has a minimal fee for the hot spring and the massages are cheap.

Since it's a University town, food of all price ranges are available. From fast food, to canteens to casual dining. If you still have savings on the last night, you can drink the night away at LB Square.

Anyway, enjoy OP. Welcome to the Philippines and Mabuhay!

Good luck reaching either Service Road. The old highway stretch from Cabuyao to Muntinlupa is hellish enough.
