Cebu City Once Again: Trip Ko To

Upon arriving at Mactan-Cebu International Airport, I immediately went to Lapu Lapu Shrine to take some pictures before going to Parkmall Cebu to meet up some friends.  It is not as busy or full of buildings like in Manila neither as laid back at the city center of Cebu. I am expecting Cebu for their five star resorts and white beaches at this time which I don't have time traveling before. I want to do that hard life too just laying around and chilling beside the beach! Cebu City is a nice place and going to progress for this year, it is worth to visit. One thing I have noticed is that Cebu City is probably the best place in Philippines for people obeying road rules stopping at red light, vehicle road signs, traffic rules and regulation as well and most of that very different to most other places.Yes I definitely coming back to Cebu City next year for Sinulog Festival  2013.

Where to Dine and Fishing Village of Island Cove Resort, Binakayan Cavite

It was a Saturday morning when I decided to roam around Kawit in Cavite, which my goal is to explore this nature's best attraction at Island Cove Resort. The place is called Fishing Village which serve seafood and other menu. You can have them cook the fish that you catch at the pond, the fishing gear equipment rental will cost you about P100 pesos, for that time there wasn't a lot of people at the resort. They also serve the best tasting talabas (oysters) and tahong (mussels). You may also enjoy classic Filipino dishes and fresh fruit shakes while dining in the floating nipa huts. 

Btw: The place have lots of photography potential if we can time it right or better stay over at the hotel there.

Outdoor Giant Chess Board at Island Cove Binakayan Cavite

The Outdoor Giant Chess Board is located along the entrance of the swimming pool at Island Cove Resort.  I think it was the most fun chess game I've ever played! The color of the pieces is black and yellow gold. They have also a wide playground and concert grounds inside. Island Cove is the best family oriented adventure resort in Cavite.  It's a perfect and cozy place to relax and unwind. I take some pictures and went for a lunch at their floating restaurant. 

The Old Saint Mary Magdalene Church in Kawit Cavite

It was a rainy afternoon when I visited the old church of Saint Mary Magdalene in Kawit Cavite. The church is just a walking distance from Emilio Aguinaldo Shrine, get a right turn from the higway. This old church reminds me about the beauty of Pan-ay church in Capiz. They have also a good interior outside the church. Very Spanish-ornate and Baroque-inspired, the main altar and ceiling are just amazing. Next post: Island Cove in Binakayan Cavite.
