Villa escudero sa tiaong quezon. Maganda din dun.

[bluish_mommy]

Oo sis ang mga staff dun I think parang tagal baranggay or local gov't, they make sure hindi naeexploit ang lugar mahigpit sila, bawal magkalat. Pagkatapos nyo dun punta kayong Pililian silipin nyo mga windmills dun =) mga 15-20mins away sa Daranak.

I'm the kind of person na mahilig sa weekend getaways and staycations. So, this thread is very timely for me. But, since I live in the province, my weekend getaway suggestions is for places near our province.

I have two places in mind for a staycation/weekend vacation: Camiguin is an island surrounded by different beaches and falls. It is known as the island born of fire. Staying in Camiguin for several days will give you the chance to go around the island. You'll love the beaches and the many waterfalls and springs of the island.

Dahilayan is in Bukidnon. If you're looking for a cool and relaxing place, go to Dahilayan and experience its many adventures. There's a zipline, horseback riding, and camping, among many others. It's the perfect place to relax in, especially since the weather in Dahilayan is cold!

So, if you're willing to travel a little for some weekend adventure, try Camiguin and Dahilayan!

I've been to Daranak and Batlag Falls 6 years ago. Para kang sa mundo ng mga engkantada, hehe. Clean water yun lang medyo slippery sa ibang parts. Pwede din kayo mag side trip sa Cloud 9 Resto at night, overlooking ng Metro Manila.

Change of plans from CDO-Camiguin to Tagaytay/Batangas because of conflict of schedule. Huhuhu. Any suggested room/s or house for rent in Tagaytay or Batangas? This Saturday night na sana. I know long weekend this weekend kaya IDK kung may available pa. 

Try  Minalungao River Park in Nueva Ecija.
2-3 hrs. away from Manila, day trip lang.

[chinablue]

^hi sis. i'm from nueva ecija too but i've never been to minalungao river park. kaya ba magpublic transpo papunta dito? gusto ko kasi magsolo trip dito eh. thanks sis.

[pretty_B]

^hi sis! ako na sasagot ng tanong mo ah. i never tried going there via public transpo. ive been there twice but a friend of mine went there last year. commute lang sila from manila papunta dun. may maaarkila ka daw na trike going there. di ko lang masure yung rate. tapos, better to contract the tricycle driver pauwi. so, if you're going solo, possible naman siguro. if you want to try yung balsa, okay din naman siguro. you may approach yung mga bangkero dun.

btw, proud novo ecijano here!

^^ to add po, nabasa ko lang

Via Commute

a. Ride a bus bound to Gapan/Cabanatuan, P150-P200. Estimated travel time: 2-3 hours
 b. From Gapan ride a jeep to General Tinio then ride a trike to Minalungao Park, P50/person
 ** If you are avoiding a hassle trip, you can rent a tricycle from Gapan to Minalungao Park, P500-P600/tricycle. The tricycle will be waiting for you until your way back to Gapan. Estimated travel time: 1-1.5 hours

Travel time is 1-1.5 hrs daw.

Villa V Resort in Pansol, probinsiya vibes yung resort medyo rustic. Para siya ancenstral house, very private at tahimik yung place. Yung 3pm to 8am the next day 4500 ko lang nakuha then side trip lang sa Nuvali after namin sa resort.

Hi girls! any inputs regarding Masungi Georeserve in Rizal?

Question ko is if may nakapagtry na ba sainyo na kumuha ng package tour from an agency? our problem kasi is hindi kami makabuo ng minimum of 7pax. less than 7 kasi kami. so, i was thinking baka may alam kayo na magaarrange ng tour samin with transpo na from manila to rizal. just like what we did when we went to Anawangin, Zambales. Agency din kasi yun. which is what we preferred kasi di naman namin mapupuno yung buong van. we were 6pax that time, and the agency partnered us with a barkada group of 8pax. sila kasama namin sa van and boat transfers.

[mars13]

^^hi sis pretty_B, PM sent po.

[pretty_B]

^thanks sis! ka-pm na kita. hehe.

Hello Guys!

Any recommended place sa Tanay, Rizal? or Antipolo area?

TIA

[riandrew]

i did a solo year end retreat at Macampao Beach Resort and Leisure Farm in Zambales. it was so relaxing! the accommodation is by the beach - a cabana with a bed, pillows, mosquito net, electric fans, and of course - charger!

best part is the rate comes with full board meals. food which they harvest from their farm. super generous ang servings and i love every adjustment they made for my meals (medical preference).

very private. limited guests. i spent 3 days there. narefresh ako!
