The Stone Churches of Negros South of Bacolod
Inspired by our stone churches tour in Southern Iloilo, my wife and I toured the stone churches in our home province, Negros Occidental, particularly in the South of Bacolod City, the capital. We visited three nineteenth century churches, all began construction under the Spanish colonial rule. They are the Our Lady of Peace in La Carlota City, St. Mary Magdalene in Hinigaran and Our Lady of Guadalupe in Valladolid. #baroque #travel #heritage #philippins #spanishempire #oldchurches

The Stone Churches of Southern Iloilo
มุมมอง 45121 วันที่ผ่านมา
My wife, Belle, and I went on a day tour of the stone churches in the style of Baroque in Southern Iloilo. These churches were built during the Spanish era in the Philippines. We visited San Joaquin, Miagao and Guimbal but missed Tigbauan for lack of time. Coming from Negros Occidental in Negros Is, we crossed the Guimaras Strait, to get to Iloilo, a province in Panay Is. #church #Spanish #baro...
A Walk to Gary's Place

Gary's Place used to be a "punong" or fishpond in the border of Latasan, E.b. Magalona and Balaring, Silay City that was converted into an alfresco restaurant in the midst of coastal scenery enhanced by human touch. The details of the architecture of the place blends well with ornamental plants and coastal vegetation that are a feast to eyes just like the food being serve there. Gary's is barel...
A Trail and A Loop : Manaul-Concepcion-Granada
มุมมอง 1365 หลายเดือนก่อน
The main objective of this MTB ride is to find a route from the Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto (A Replica) in Hacienda Mana-ul, Matab-ang, Talisay City, Negros Occidental to Concepcion of the same city. After accomplishing the objective, the 3-man biking party proceeded to Granada, a far-flung barangay of Bacolod City and completed a loop via the old national highway. #mtb #negrosisland
Quinaruyan Ravine Loop

In the second day of our stay in Gawahon Eco Park in Victorias City, Negros Occidental, some of our family members went on a morning hike to Fourth Falls in the Quinaruyan Ravine. Our intention was to reach Twin Falls further ahead but the lack of time and the confusion of finding the continuation of the trail prompted us to call it quits. 3 members of our hiking party backtracked and 5 returne...
Obak-Dinamlagan Trail: A Not So Ordinary Stroll
มุมมอง 2956 หลายเดือนก่อน
Among the activities we did during our family reunion in Nisol's Organic Farm in the Gawahon Eco Park in Victorias City, Negros Occidental was the hike along the Obak-Dinamlagan Trail. We started late in the afternoon and got benighted on our return. This trail leads to the interior of Mount Silay that Nathaniel Dichoso and I re-discovered in August 1997. This trail served me well in my adventu...
A Day in Iloilo Across the Guimaras Strait
มุมมอง 1589 หลายเดือนก่อน
Although both share a similar culture and the same Hiligaynon language, Iloilo and Negros Occidental is separated by the Guimaras Strait. A Negrense who would want a day tour of Iloilo may leave Bacolod City at dawn for an hour of fastcraft ride and be back late in the evening. We did just that this year (2023) and got as far as Garinfarm in San Joaquin, Iloilo. #Iloilo #iloilophilippines .
Island of Siquijor in 2 Days
มุมมอง 34010 หลายเดือนก่อน
On a corporate trip, we visited Siquijor Island in a two-night stay and a good two days of travel across the island. We saw some of its beaches, springs/waterfalls, old churches and highland spots including Mt Bandila-an National Park. I only had a little glimpse of its mysticism for which the island is very well known and a partial glance of its history exemplified by its old churches. #siquij...
Revisiting Gawahon
มุมมอง 26611 หลายเดือนก่อน
In the 1990s, I learned the rudiments of mountaineering in the Gawahon Forest situated in the Central-West side of Mount Silay. The place, particularly its wilderness areas, has seen a lot of development with the establishment of the Gawahon Eco Park in the early 2000s. My wife and I returned in the "wild" area of Gawahon recently to get a feel of what is left of its mossy forest dripping wet e...
Jubay Farm 2: Getting More Out of It
มุมมอง 169ปีที่แล้ว
Jubay Farm is situated in Hacienda Manuela in Sitio Aluyan, Brgy. Caduha-an, Cadiz City, Negros Occidental. I went there on a mountain biking trip last year and returned this time with friends to do some exploratory hike for my personal goal. Despite of the progress ongoing in the sitio, the place has retained some of its wilderness appeal. #negrosisland #mountain #hike
A Chapel in the Forest
มุมมอง 195ปีที่แล้ว
Atty. Nordy Diploma, a philanthropist and son of Victorias, established the 60-hectare Nordson Forest Park, a man-made forest grown to native trees, in 1996 in his hometown. Within that forest, he built a chapel that was completed prior to his death in 2022. Carved out from sugarcane plantation, the forest is only 3kms away from the city proper. My wife and I visited the place, especially the c...
A Line in the Map: Towards the Confluence of Tabuan and Calaptan
มุมมอง 348ปีที่แล้ว
I pedaled and bike-bushed for 2.5 hours to get to the top of Trencerra Hill in Brgy. San Isidro, E.B. Magalona, Negros Occidental to pursue a plan I'd considered for months - to explore a bike route passage to Sitio Nabalas past the Tabuan Creek, Calaptan River and the rugged terrain of adjoining hills. Short of time, I cut short my endeavor by hiking instead to the confluence of Tabuan and Cal...
The Ride to Hacienda Manaul
มุมมอง 174ปีที่แล้ว
My MTB ride to Hacienda Manaul, an hacienda in Barangay Matab-ang, Talisay City, Negros Occidental was carried out in a spur-of-the-moment decision and in a mid-morning departure under the sweltering heat of the Sun. When I set out, Manaul was then new ground to me. I never imagined it would leave some lasting memories and insights about the past and future of the sugar barons of Negros. #negro...

Sitio Nabalas Recee

This is about mountain-biking recon in Canlusong, a mountain barangay of E.B. Magalona, Negros Occidental. This latest visit was partly done to see up close the newly concreted portions of Canlusong Road (I last visited the place on 20 July 2020) that I spotted from a distance from Trencerra hill. However, my most important goals are: 1) to find the Manyaque Fork and 2) to find a route from Tre...
