Waterfall Hikes

The municipality of Tubungan is only around 40 kilometers from the provincial seat, Iloilo City. It is considerably simpler to point to any adjacent town or municipality after you get in the city, since you may do so by bus, jeepney, or motorbike, among other modes of transportation. Furthermore, traveling by motorbike with your buddies is a lot of fun. This location encourages tranquility and relaxation. Tubungan is proud of these breathtaking natural wonders that, if developed and correctly promoted, may become a significant tourist attraction in the province of Iloilo. Let me guide you to nature, Enjoy!

                              Cruz sa Balabago

This cross was built in the memory of the late Fr. Isidro Badreba who died depending and spreading the Catholicism among the Babaylan. This was located at Sitio Balabago, Bgy. Batga, Tubungan, Iloilo . Cruz sa Balabago in Barangay Batga is around 7.50 kilometers away from the town center.

On Holy Thursday, the Panait ritual is re-enacted near the Cross sa Balabago where Babaylans from neighboring towns and provinces gather on the site they call the holy well or El Pozo Santo which still exists even up to this day. Rituals are performed to ask for good weather, rain or to thank the ancestral spirit for good harvest and energized themselves.

                             Mt. Linguhob

The most effective treatments for mental illnesses I believe it can be found in nature, at least according to my personal theory and experience. The opportunity to connect and disconnect from the poisonous and hectic environment. Alternatively, we might just enjoy basic successes like as reaching to the top of mountain peaks. It'll never be simple, but people who journey to mountain peaks have a difficult time bringing their souls back with them.

Aside from stunning white sand beaches, Western Visayas is also home to magnificent mountains just waiting for someone to appreciate them. Mt. Linguhob, in Brgy. Igtuble, Tubungan, Iloilo City, is one of them, with a magnificent view of its visible mountain ridges, which serves as a pasture for most farm animals and local agricultural fields. Mt. Lingguhob is a great place to unwind after a long week of stress. This blog could be useful for individuals who want to go out of town for a few hours and explore nature, or for those who just want to cross something off their bucket list.

The journey towards the peak requires you to use both hands and knees Make sure you’re geared up with eye goggles to protect your eyes and gloves for you not to cut your hands while holding the grasses’ sharp blades to prevent you from slipping down.

                                   Bato Sumpit

 With its 10-meter high falls and spouting water in a crystal-like stonewall behind the falls, it resembles a "maiden's pearl" and runs directly into a natural basin. Picnickers and nature enthusiasts flock to Bgy.Igtuble on a regular basis.

The ten-meter Tubig Sumpit, which translates to "rushing water," is excellent for visitors and nature enthusiasts looking for a relaxing getaway with crystal-clear, cold water, close proximity to beautiful landscapes, and a sense of adventure.

                            Mt. Pinihakan Daraga

Is a mountain range in Brgy. Igtuble that can be accessed by trekking along the mountain route and is said to be a mythological location that resembles the Urdina, Biladyong, and Balanakon triangle.

CORON PALAWAN ~

Coron has always been part of every traveler’s bucket list and I’ve had a chance to visit this island last September 2018. 

I just can’t contain my happiness seeing Coron. This place is mesmerizing and has its own uniqueness, kind locals and delicious foods (I miss Jacob’s Shawarma). It’s probably my best travel ever..

Can’t wait to be back in this beautiful and amazing island, explore and learned again especially the Culion Island and other beaches not included in our tour package plus some cafe hopping in town.💛

CASA SAN MIGUEL ~

There is a home hidden in the quaint town of San Antonio, Zambales -that is CASA SAN MIGUEL (Center for the Arts in San Antonio Zambales), where introvert dreams are made of.  Ancestral home, music & art gallery and a coffee shop.

This 15-hectare ancestral home is owned by the Corpus-Bolipata clan and in 1993, Casa San Miguel Foundation was founded by renowned violinist Coke Bolipata. They have several programs and workshops to hone and showcase talent/skills of the locals.

It was almost midday when we arrived. There were some children skillfully practicing the violin. Ms. Vergee (locals called her Aunt Vergee) gave us a tour around the place and explained the history of CASA San Miguel. This place was built on four mediums:

Museum

Music and art

Education (they have pre-school)

Entrepreneurial side-Bed&Breakfast/CASA Backstage Cafe/Island Tours

Being an art center, there is a hall where performances are held and exhibits are displayed. It takes place every Sunday and they called it SUNDAY’S BEST.

Every year, children enroll in summer camp at CASA San Miguel for 2 months where they immerse themselves in learning art and music.

Ohh! hello there T-shirt. Suplado eh. 😂 😂 😂

📍 Backstage Cafe

After the tour, Mike and I headed straight in CASA Backstage Cafe to redeem our unlimited brewed coffee (Starbucks-their major sponsor). BTW, Entrance fee in CASA San Miguel is only P100.00 with a complimentary drinks (coffee/iced tea). Part of it will go to their scholars.

I bet the Backstage Cafe’s al fresco area looks stunning at night. 😍 

We chose a table next to a coffee station so we can easily access the unlimited drink. Hehehe.The wooden furniture, the vintage photos on the wall and the aroma of brewed coffee fill this cozy cafe with charm, warmth, and good vibes. Feels like home. 😊 😊 😊

📍 Pasilyo Country Living and Bookstore

Adjacent to CASA San Miguel is the fanciful Pasilyo Country Living and Bookstore . Felt like I’m Alice of ‘Alice in Wonderland’. 😋 There is art in every inch. A vintage Volkswagen Kombi was converted into a bookstore.

You'll find nooks and crannies where you can rest, read and eat.

According to Auntie Vergee, CASA transforms every year. I look forward to that and I will definitely come back here and try their B&B or their Island tour.

If you want a different kind of weekend, let CASA San Miguel surprise you with its natural charm.

This place have a special place in my heart. I hope someday, Mike and I could be one of the sponsors of this organization. 🤞 🙏 😍

Thank you for reading. Have a nice day!💛
