It was a day all about safe travelling, sea turtle conservation and the launch of the first-ever standalone outlet of Pacsafe in the world and guess what? It’s here in the Philippines.
Backpacking is my daily-go-to-style not just whenever I’m on a trip, but even in my day-to-day home to work travelling. But sometimes even you’re so cautious about your stuff, Pick pockets or thieves got their ways to get in.
How many times did it happen to you that you needed something and when you checked your bags you realized that you forgot to include it in your packing. That moment really sucks that you wish these situations never even happened or would never happen again.
My second day was spent chasing waterfalls and visiting an island down south. I told myself to wake up early, even I was up till 2am binge watching over “Black Orphan” on iFlix. (Check out what’s new on iFlix)
After having breakfast, I was introduced to Kuya Rey, a former Manilenio who lives in Q.C. before but later decided to stay in Oslob for his family. He will be my tour guide and service for the whole day.
It finally came true! I got to swim with the Whale Sharks and it all happened very fast, nevertheless the feeling was overwhelming! From my TV screen to reality, here’s my Whale Shark or Butanding watching adventure in Oslob, Cebu, Philippines!
On my third day in Oslob, I decided to wake up at 5:30 in the morning, did a quick prep up before my service arrive at six. Kuya Rey was a big help touring me around Oslob, and his service for a day riding the habal-habal is just right for my budget.
Tumalog falls isn’t easy to go to for before reaching the place you would need to do a long hilly trek. The trek is as exciting as reaching the falls. Good thing the road going there was already cemented. Kuya Rey (our Habal-habal driver) did a great help in bringing us there. The habal-habal ride from the Whale Shark station took us 10-15 minutes only. Then trek for 20-30 minutes depending on your pace, of course.
