It was January this year, when me and my two friends decided to book a trip to Luzon when we saw Airasia's airfare promo.

Going to Ilocos was our main plan, but to make our trip sulit we decided to have a side trip the summer capital of the Philippines - Baguio City, my two friends had been to the place, and it was I who really wanted to go there and because my friends loved me, they added Baguio to our itinerary!

The island built for love: Isla Romantica

Located at Cordova, Cebu is a little man-made island called Isla Romantica. It was called Isla Romantica because the island was made with love, Noy Ben (the owner) built the island for many years for his wife. So romantic, isn't it? How to get there? Isla Romantica is located at Brgy. Alegria, Cordova. Once you see the Best Western Sand Bar, you can ride a tricykad going to the site. Noy Ben, would take you to the island through his banca, banca fare is 10.00php/each and you (the whole group) will only pay 100.00php for using the island.   The island has few tables, and there is no cr and electricity. So before going to the island be sure to bring all the needed stuff like foods, drinks, grilling equipments and other necessary things. Noy Ben, the owner of the island, bringing the other tourist to the island through his banca. The surroundings Yours truly :)
