June Snapshots: Cake delivery, Free hanging

Location : Tagbilaran, Bohol, Philippines

Seriously?
Taxpayer-paid cake van and delivery service? For whom? Free hanging for a straight spine.

Feet on Face

(June 30, 2024 Cebu City, Philippines) Filipinos don't seem to mind other people's feet...even if it's smack in their faces.

Cebu's Homeless

(June 29, 2024 Cebu City, Philippines) Cebu will always be synonymous to its rich and its homeless - a glaring example of social contrast in the Queen City of the South.

Free hanging

(June 26 Cebu City, Philippines) Free hanging from a beam for a straight spine.

Tagbilaran City Cake delivery

Cake delivery

(June 14, 2024 Tagbilaran, Bohol, Philippines) Taxpayer-paid cake delivery service? An official cake delivery van for the City of Tagbilaran? Seriously? For whom? This is more urgent and more important than garbage collection?

Ending Thoughts
As the spine straightens, the jaw drops.

Bohol Gothic Wine Label

(July 5, 2024) The iconic painting, American Gothic, has been a staple for me when it comes to creating personalized wine labels for a select few. For Kat's parent's 46th wedding anniversary in Bohol, I defaulted to my old classic....more »»

Bohol Travel Info/Tips

Bohol FYI / Tips

the tourist area where most of the hotels, restaurants, ticket offices, tour operators are, is located within the Alona Beach area
the tourist attractions in Bohol are far apart and spread-out. It would be difficult to visit them all using public mass transit. Better hire a van (P3500/day) if in a big group, or rent a motorcycle (P400/day + gas)
Bohol relies on its tourism for revenue. As expected, everything they can capitalize on from tourism is extensively used and developed

Tagbilaran Port to Panglao

You can charter any tricycle from the port all the way to Panglao (~P300), but if you want to do it on the cheap,

don't take the tricycles lined-up inside the port. Walk past the port gate and immediately outside, you'll see many tricycles. Take one to the bus terminal in Dao (~P15)
in Dao, take the jeep that plies the Panglao route (~P20)

Things to do, Places to go in Bohol

Chocolate Hills - this is a clustering of more than 1200 hills within a 50km² area. They range in height from 30-50 meters. What's unusual is their near-perfect conical shape resembling an individual chocolate chip. No one knows how they were formed. Entrance is P50/pax.
Tarsier Conservation Area - located Upper Bonbon, Loboc. The tarsiers are no longer being played at by tourists as circus props, but instead, visitors now view them in cordoned-off areas in their natural 6ha habitat. As they are territorial and nocturnal, they are predictable on where they can be viewed. P50/pax.
Alona Beach (Panglao) - Alona Beach is the tourist hub of Bohol. It has 1.5 kms of white sand beach lined-up by bars, hotels and restos. Alona is also the jump-off point for Balicasag Island, a world class dive destination.
Danao Adventure Park - located in Barangay Magtangtang, 72 kms (2 hours ride) from Tagbilaran. Adventure activities include river trekking, tyrolean traverse, rappelling, bouldering, rock climbing and ziplining.
