Iloilo Bloggers, Iloilo City Hall Press Corp, Lakbay Aral with DOT

With Mr. Flord Calawag (Gen. Man. of Tibiao Fish Spa) - Sipal-Lagaw sa Tibiao.
I just had another weekend of pure awesomeness! It has been a string of travel weekends for me and last weekend was no exception. So here’s how I got lucky -again: Junelle was given an invitation by Ma’am Pearl Lena which she relayed to us in our Iloilo Bloggers Inc. group page on Facebook. It was an invitation from the Iloilo City Hall Press Corp for 2 bloggers to join them in ICHPC’s Lakbay Aral with DOT on June 18-20, 2011. Since no one was available – except me and Junnjun of GigsIlonggo) – that’s how we got lucky!

San Antonio Resort – we have discovered an awesome resort in Roxas City, Capiz! I love seafood and if I want my fix of it only one place comes to mind – Roxas. And this time when we went there last month we decided to check out a resort that a friend of mine raved about. San Antonio Resort is slowly becoming popular not only here in Panay but internationally as well. There were a bunch of foreign tourists when we were there. I learned that they offer tour packages as well.

Another great place to go when you’re craving for seafood and you happen to be in Panay Island is at Estancia. Estancia is known as the Alaska of the Philippines. Before I went there I did not understand why they call it that. But when I got to see the fish port I immediately understood why the name - Alaska. All those drums and boxes of seafood at very affordable prices! And it’s also a little bit cold there.

Here’s another installment of our Boracay weekend getaway last July. On our second day we did one of the most enjoyable activities while in Boracay Island, Philippines – the Marine Walk. Marine Walk is a helmet diving system that has been designed for the ultimate underwater experience. We literally walked under the sea, surrounded by fascinating marine life, live corals, and colorful tropical fishes!
