Sea turtles are definitely one of the most fascinating creatures in the world. They emerge from their eggshells without any help from their parents, struggle their way out of the sand pit and with their last ounce of strength they will endeavor to crawl towards the ocean amid the presence of hungry predators like hawks and sea gulls.

And when they just pulled out a touchdown, or in other words, reach the quaint waters, they have to stave off the jaws of stalkers, which come in different shapes and sizes. Only 20% of those who made it into the waters will likely reach adulthood, not a good odd as it is, but that’s what is been called for by nature. And interestingly these creatures will go back after 15 to 25 years to the very exact location they burst into life.

Seeing these wonderful baby turtles can be an awe-inspiring experience, since the birth of these animals is a sort of a phenomenon.

The majestic Mt. Kanlaon is one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines and according to a website about volcanoes many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in the mountain took place in the Negros Island in the past. Mt. Kanlaon has two craters, and one is in the north which is 250 meters wide and 150 meters deep.

It is ordinary to see eruptions of ashfall in the area, and the people living in the slopes of the mountain just take it as a form of weather disturbance. However, an alarming eruption took place in 1996 as two climbing groups were at the peak at the time of explosion.

Though the Mt. Kanlaon is active mountain climbers are undaunted of setting their foot on its summit. Most of these trekkers come in by droves during the summer months to take advantage of the lush vegetation here and friendly to go through. There are at least three routes to the peak of Mt. Kanlaon and the journey may last to three days. But there are some routes that are easy to tame and at the same time enjoy the forest of Mt. Kanlaon. These routes may take an hour to 12 hours to cope with, depending on the health level and curiosity of the trekkers.

If you intend to get charmed with Mt. Kanlaon, see to it that you made a solid plan from making a smooth scheduled flight to acquiring the services of people who rents their vehicles to having a tourist guide for the challenge.

Although the province is one of the not well-off provinces in the country and a hot spot during election, its Masbate Rodeo, set aside problems and troubles and fosters camaraderie, community building and bolsters the local economy and tourism industry. Masbate is also the province with the most ranches in country.

Throng of people of all ages from different provinces trek to Masbate to display their mastery in lassoing and capturing a cow.

One of the to-go-list for many tourists is perhaps the mystifying Batanes  which is beaming with so much charm and beauty. The smallest province in the Philippines, Batanes is located in the northernmost tip of the country about 162 km north of the mainland Luzon.

It has three islands which is viable for tourism and these are: Itbayat, Batan and Sabang which are mostly consists of hills and mountains. If you are in for adventure and breathtaking scenery Batanes can provide you awesome landscape of sea, sand and mountains everywhere, which can never be found elsewhere in the country. Its vista is comparable to that of New Zealand and the highlands of Scotland.

Though it has fantastic scenery, the province is often visited by typhoons and the weather can be harsh. This is the reason why the houses here are built from stones making them very sturdy and weather proof. The houses here truly display character and don’t look like the typical and classic Filipino nipa hut.

There are a lot of local products and delicacies that is unique to the province and it is so enticing to get hold on them or at least have a taste of the foods here.

You can get there any time of the week since there is a daily flight which is operated by Seair from Manila to the province’s capital which is Basco. The flights might wait for a better timing once the weather becomes unstable. This can be a bit bothersome, but once you’ll get to Batanes for sure you are going to have an unforgettable trip, since you might not believe you are still in the Philippines since you will be treated to mosaic of beautiful panorama the province offers.

Over the years, people are often seen complaining about Boracay as overcrowded especially during Holy Week. You will not able to see an acquaintance, boss, relative or a colleague even if you are booked on the same resort because of the great crowd. Moreover, the establishments, lodging houses, restaurants, bars and other amenities here are packed out as well. Do you call this as a solace vacation?

Because of this many will rather hunt for an alternative getaway next to Boracay. They want the same atmosphere – powder-fine white sand, crystal clear waters, pleasant climate, breathtaking sceneries and the like. Now the hunt is over since there is one that can be likened to Boracay in a lot of ways and this is Carabao Island situated in San Jose, Romblon, which is just a 15-minute ride from Boracay.

Four times bigger than Boracay, Carabao Island boasts white-sand beaches and quaint waters. Though it is not as developed as Boracay and other fine beaches in the country, developments are slowly pouring in. According to Department of Tourism, Carabao island is anticipated to ease Boracay of too much tourists pouring in.

Overdevelopment may rub off some of the charm of a tourist destination, and we just cross our fingers that Carabao island will have its allure and beauty intact in the coming years.
