First Seeing the Barong Tagalog from the Outside My name is Anton. I'm from Siberia. In 2022, I moved to the Philippines. Before that, the Philippines meant sun, sea, and friendly people to me. Nothing unusual — a fairly standard picture for someone looking at a country from the outside. I had never heard of the Filipino shirt called the Barong Tagalog. It never occurred to me that the Philippines had such a recognizable symbol. That's how … [Read more...]
A Visit To Wat Arun: The Temple Of Dawn”

This is what I have been doing since my childhood. One of such additions was “Wat Arun”, which i saw first time on a postcard that my grandfather gave me.

Why Communal Ranch Bukidnon Should Be on Your Northern Mindanao Road Trip
Bukidnon has a way of surprising travelers. One moment, you are passing through long highway stretches and cool mountain towns.

Why Corregidor Island Deserves a Place in a Deeper Manila and Philippine Travel Itinerary
When people plan trips around Manila, the usual focus tends to fall on the obvious city landmarks, quick food stops, shopping districts, or short day tours. That makes sense.

Why Quezon Province Deserves a Bigger Place on Your Philippine Travel Bucket List
Some provinces do not need a hard sell. The moment you hear their name, you already know what kind of trip to expect. Quezon is different.

It is not boxed into one travel identity. Instead, it gives you a province that can shift depending on what kind of … [Read more...]

Our jeepney lurched forward on the winding road, and I steadied myself against the metal frame, my knuckles white with anticipation.

This obscurity is precisely what drew me here, to the northernmost reaches of … [Read more...]
