KALIBO is a melting pot and transit hub of the Aklan province. Its food offerings are most often overshadowed by the best fresh seafood in the nearby province of Capiz or the yummy Ilonggo food in Iloilo. Most people just pass by this municipality that aspires to be a city one day. It was … Continue reading KALIBO: Where are the Best Places to Eat in Kalibo?
LATTE is the best place for breakfast in Kalibo. It opens as early as 7am and offers your breakfast favorites, comfort food and yummy cakes. It’s conveniently located in the road that leads to the airport and beside the best hotel in Kalibo. It gets mixed reviews because of inconsistencies, but we love the selection … Continue reading KALIBO: LATTE Coffee Cafe @ Marzon’s Hotel
SAYLO is a Visayan term which means “to welcome” or “to invite to come in“. It is also a term which means “to transfer” which has a double meaning — it’s a good transfer stopover when you are flying via Kalibo International Airport, or if you are tired of Latte – you transfer to Saylo. … Continue reading KALIBO: SAYLO Cuisine – The Best Restaurant in Kalibo?
Kalibo’s Ati-Atihan is the mother of all the big Sto. Niño festivals of Sinulog in Cebu and Dinagyang in Iloilo. It’s the biggest fiesta that is “non-commercialized” and stays true to its Filipino Fiesta vibe.

Niño ATI-ATIHAN Festival in Kalibo?
Catanduanes holds a special place in my heart because this is where our roots are. My mom was born into the Soria and Rojas families in Bato, Catanduanes. I remember visiting Catanduanes when we were still kids and I was excited to go back and explore the southern part of the island from San Andres … Continue reading CATANDUANES: Exploring the Catanduanes Isles in Bicol
I love Catanduanes food specially the Mud Crabs and fresh seafood, Pili Nut (which is like Macadamia nut), the Catanduanes Cacao, and different kakanins. Food in Bicol uses a lot of coconut milk (gata) but those in Catanduanes are not as spicy as in other Bicol towns. I also love the scenic picnic lunch by … Continue reading CATANDUANES Food You Should Not Miss to Eat 🙂
One of the top surfing destinations in the country today is Puraran in Baras, Catanduanes.

BREAKFAST at ANTONIO’S is now back where it all started at the Tagaytay Ridge with an unobstructed view of the Taal Volcano. We love the much- improved Antonio’s Breakfast with a more focused menu for All-Day breakfast dining 7 days a week. They now make their own bread, jams, pates and deli-meat in-house. The ambiance … Continue reading BREAKFAST at ANTONIO’S: Welcoming 2013 with a Yummy Bang along the Ridge!
This is the first time that we visited Boracay in December. I must agree with most that December is the best time to be in Boracay because the beach is whiter, the sky bluer and the ambiance cooler. Hence, this time is known as the Boracay’s White Christmas. It was also the first time for … Continue reading BORACAY’s White Christmas: 10 Never-Boring Experiences to Enjoy with your Kids!
