Filipina Directioner Got Killed by Her Dad...


One Direction happily informed their fans from the Philippines, especially those who have not been able to buy tickets to their concert, that they will be having a 2-day concert to accommodate all their fans. Unlucky as this news went viral saying One Direction Upcoming Manila Concert is no longer going to happen as the group was banned in the Philippines. Happy all Directioners, this story is all hoax.

As the famous band concert approaches different news go viral and this one caught my attention from The Philippine Trending:

A teenage girl  from Parañaque was stabbed by her father 3 times after secretly spending her tuition fee for a One Direction VIP concert ticket in manila.

Gracelyn "Grace" was found dead on the floor of her bathroom. Grace's little brother was in shocked and quickly ran to the house of their cousins to call for help. 

The police arrived at the scene around 1:30 PM. The Parañaque police also found the victim's father sitting on a corner of the victim's bedroom, holding a knife with his shirt full of blood.

The victim's father surrendered to the police while crying, saying that he never meant to kill his own daughter.

"Hindi ko po sinasadiya, hindi ko po alam yung ginawa ko." He said
(I don't know what I was doing. I didn't mean to kill her)

Base on the statement that the victim's mother gave, the victim was killed by his father after he finds out that the money he gave her for her school tuition fee (P. 20,000) was only spent buying the One Direction VIP ticket.

"Yung tatay niya kasi, matagal na pinagipunan yung perang yon. Kasi nga 3rd year college na siya at malapit na din naman kaya pinu-push talaga niyang makatapos yung anak namin" said the victim's mother.
(Her father worked really hard for that money because she is on the 3rd of her college. That;s why we are putting so much effort just to make sure she graduates)

The victim's father is now at the custody of Parañaque Police and now charged with murder.

After reading this article all I said was: “The father is wicked. He should have told his daughter to work for her tuition fee instead or have her daughter grounded or have her daughter sell the ticket after getting her bald or a bad haircut but not KILL her.” 

Her daughter is in 3rd college now and killing her because of a wrong act of waiting money is like he wasted everything he has worked for 13+ years  and loss a person whom he gave life and attention for those years.


Anyhow, the above story is a 100% HOAX.  

ALL DIRECTIONERS ARE YOU READY FOR THEIR CONCERT This coming March 22, 2015!?!?

Now that I'm awake better than ever I shall find the man who murdered my mother, but to do this, I can't be the loser I once was, I must become some one else, I must become something else."

Enjoying MongKok's Noodles

Lissa and I just got back to our hotel. We enjoyed strolling along Mong Kok's busy street. We watched some performances and those amazing photographers. 

Lissa watching 2 singers (a male and a female duet a Chinese song) under G2000 sign in Mong Kok, Hong Kong

After a long walk and buying (it's more of haggling) stuff for our colleagues. Lissa and I decided to have our dinner at New Forrest where we ate the following dishes:


Dinner's READY! DIG IN!

Lissa:
Lissa's first Mong Kok meal... Yum!

She had a baked creamy and cheesy pork rice with a cold authentic lemon ice tea on the side.

Mine:

Message From an Old Friend... (Sagada?!?)

An old friend message me in Facebook saying how he enjoyed reading my blog post. I thank him for that and then he asked me if I have any idea about Sagada! Well bro you got me there and this article will hopefully help you out. "Iyayi na co no maco camo sa Sagada! hehehe"

My Sagada trip started when Ikhay and Jonathan asked me to join their tour. It was a tour with GAFA and to tell you guys Kuya Frederick our driver is really fun to be with even he always stays in the van to take a nap (hahaha... laglag). So like anybody who will be going to Sagada for the first time and does not want to take any hassle of commuting and have everything scheduled for you, I would suggest you get this a tour like this one we've got. (I'm not promoting GAFA guys, it's just they are the one who served as our host).


The tour costs around Php 5,000.00+ per head for 13 pax inclusive of the fare, food, and tour package. This might have changed as we had our tour last year of February. So James if you are thinking of going to Sagada, try to consider this (a friendly reminder... lolz)

Pick up point is at Trinoma, I don't know if there's another pick up point and we drove 10 hours to Benguet and about 11-12 hours to Sagada. In Benguet you'll be stop for a short time to have breakfast, photo shoot with the en famous Banawe Rice Terraces as your background, check out some Bulul, and feel the breeze of the Mountain Province then you will be led to uphill-downhill-zigzag drive to Sagada.

Following were included in the package:

  • Drive along Sagada
  • Extreme or Basic Spelunking (I will tell you about this on the next post)
  • Hike at the rice terraces back and forth to Bumud-ok Falls
  • See some locals and their tradition
  • Eat at Salt & Pepper
  • Taste a delectable yogurt (put some strawberries in or wild mountain berries! mangoes too)
  •  Enjoy rebound of sounds in the Echo Valley
  • See the hanging coffins
  • See the only museum in the town
  • Enjoy eating Lemon Pie and Egg Pie too
  • Get frozen while watching Sunrise at Katilpan
  • Enjoy the scenic view Mountain Province can showcase
Hope this gives you a little idea pare koy about Sagada. I will be writing a different article of the whole Sagada feel with photos too.

Mi-quit Tamana Bolinao! Part 2

After eating a full breakfast we head off to Picucubuan just to see the port then moved to Guiguiwanen where I introduced yellowish sand which is like “Polvoron” as per my co-travelers. The sand was really fine but the Guiguiwanen beach which we once enjoyed swimming on when we were kids, no longer looked like the same. The old Marinara bar is no longer there but the view is still as scenic as it was see the vast blue ocean. There were some fish pens at the right side but all in all it is still a great view. 




Then we walked far left to see the Subor or Bukal (Spring) where we found some kids swimming and a lady washing her clothes. After which we climbed up Fatima Hill and saw more of the view from an overlooking. Then walked more toward east and found two (2) lighthouses which are smaller than usual. I remember there was only one (1) lighthouse (parola) before which concluded the other one was a new working lighthouse.






We stroll back to UP Marine Science Institute to supposedly see some giant clams but we failed as the UPMSI’s team is at UP Diliman having their school activity. Nonetheless we were advised to have a boat ride to Silaqui Island for Php 600.00 by the security guard whom my tourists agreed to pass.

I took them to my Uncle’s resort – El Pescador or The Fisherman resort. It was midday and the sun hurts our skin so bad so we decided to go back to my Aunt’s house (supposedly the restaurant – Mitoshi) to have our lunch but we came too early so we had some halo-halo (with fresh ripe mangoes which Bolinao also is famed of) to beat the heat for Php 20.00 only. Had some laugh moments during the waiting period and we were called for our lunch with crabs, grilled Parrot Fish, and Siganid Fish in Cashew Meat Stew. These flavours were all been missed since childhood and it brings back memories of picking ripe cashew fruits and of course keeping the seeds aside for roasting.

Where the Movie - THE BEACH was Shot...

I never thought I was able to step in to one of Leonardo di Carpio's movie - The Beach.

The Beach movie was a film of Danny Boyle which is an adventure drama based from Alex Garland's book with the same title. The book came out in 1996 while the movie was shown in cinemas in 2000. 

We went to Phuket and this is one on our To-Go list last October 2012. We joined a group tourists which toured Mayabay and swam in its clear waters where Leonardo Di Carpio swam too.

Vannie and Ronnie were my travel mates on this Ko Phi Phi Island.

Maya Bay View from our speedboat.

tour and was pretty much enjoyed a quick tour of the area. I just browse my Facebook account and found this picture in my Instagram link which I forgot my log on credentials so I'm trying to retrieve as much picture as I can and share them with you guys.

Tip:

When your boat docked at Mayabay; enjoy, swim, take as much photos, run along the shore, and swim more. Why because you'll never gonna stay there for long if you have joined a tour group.


I will give you more details on my Phuket tour at some other time. I will try to show our tour package as well so you will be have an idea of the whole tour.

Mi-quit Tama na Bolinao! (Part 1)

It has been years I have not seen my hometown and now with a group of few friends, I was able to visit the place that once took me as a child.

I grew up in this small town of Bolinao, Pangasinan then moved to Manila at the age of 13. I was still looking forward in seeing my hometown as I remember it. So I rallied the TamaRaw! Hikers group in FB to set a date and scheduled our Bolinao tour. I was planning this as my test travel package I create. The package I took for the group (supposedly of 10 -13 pax) is Php 4,000 – Php 4,500 which includes a ride back and forth Manila in safely driven Hi-Ace.

Planning along, I scheduled a tour for the group and advised them to prepare the following before we took off:
  •  Summer outfits (preferably comfortable, loose, cottony, for beach… etc.)

o   Sando or razor backs or shirts
o   Swimsuit
o   Rash guard
o    Board shorts
  • Slippers or sand shoes
  • Sunscreens
  • Shades or sunglasses
  • Head gears, Hat, sun visors, cap, and the likes
  • Umbrella
  • Camera
  • Your own towel just in case vanity strikes
  • CASH – there’s an ATM at Aliminos but it’s a far travel once you get to Bolinao so better have cash handy.
·
Lani and I came first and I had a few sips of my personalized caramel macchiato in Starbucks around 11:00 PM – 12:30 PM and soon we moved to our meeting place. Not long waiting Son, Ellai, and Alvin arrived, then Marz, after which Kuya Aaron, and Rhei. Time check: 1:30 AM and we (Lani, Rhei, Alvin, Marz, Ellai, Son, and me) are left waiting for Rhose to arrive from work at our meeting place in North Avenue and will depart at exactly 2:00 AM. At last she arrived and we are able to move our things to our Van with the help of Kuya Aaron who drove as fast and safely to Alaminos around 5:00 AM. We took some photo at Alaminos town center and had our pee break after the long 3 hour trip (but this really is sooooooooooo FAST) then we drove to Bolinao took some photos at the Bolinao marker (arc) while enjoying the view of the sunrise.






We arrived at the Bolinao town proper and drove directly to St. James Parish Church and the Municipal Hall. We prayed and took some photos then I showed them the Binunguey Sellers at the church’s gate. 







I called up my Aunt, Jasmine Camba, then we drove to her restaurant (which turned out we ate in her dining table) for breakfast. We famished ourselves along the way with little of Puto Calasiao and Kuntsinta so we can eat more of Bolinao’s very own Binunguey, a good grade of Danggit (oh so fresh!), and eggs. It was really a great day seeing my aunt again and as well as enjoy those little breakfast feast served wholeheartedly by my aunt and uncle. (Abaw a salamat Ante tan Uncle! – Thank you very much Aunt and Uncle!).

(To be continued...)

A Repost About Bolinao...

There might have been multiple crossroads you have walked by, multiple pavements you have passed by, multiple places you have gone by, but there is always a place you have most of the memories left behind which you always want to as your safe exile.” – Yu Kaito
I have been to lots of places but there is always one place I remember most of my childhood and its Bolinao, Pangasinan. As a Bolinaonon, I speak the dialect (Binobolinao) and still embody the culture, which made me write about my hometown, to give insights of what’s at stake when you visit Bolinao, Pangasinan. You know what is best from Philippines – food and beaches, which both you can have along shores of this little municipality at the tip of Pangasinan.

A beacon of light at the tip of Bolinao to guide fishermen and ships that voyage the vast South China Sea.
The hospitable municipality of Bolinao, Pangasinan or the “Hidden Jewel of the North” is known by its historical Saint James the Great Parish Church (now challenging to where the first mass happened in the Philippines instead of Limasawa) which was built around 1609 by the Agustinians, it’s delicacies like binungey or bamboo rice cake and padas or vermiculated spinefoot sauce or clear bagoong isda, fresh marine products ranging from cudincudin or sea urchins or uni in Japanese to sungayan or unicorn fish <I miss this grilled Sungayan… yum yum yum>, scenic rock formations, and beaches. The grandeur of the rock formations and clear waters suits a very tropical atmosphere. Aside from the variety of sand colours from salt and pepper, orange, yellow, and white; the amusing enchanted cave and the beacons or lighthouses are also on the must see list.
Travel: To Bolinao is a private or bus ride from Manila around 5-7 hours to north. It may be a long ride but a worthy one. The fare is around Php 400-500 from Cubao or Pasay to the Bolinao’s Poblacion and vice versa. Tricycle rides are available near the area to drive you wherever you might want to go around Bolinao.
Below are my lists of places to go as far as I could remember and will revisit soon:
Saint James the Great Parish Church – one of the oldest churches in the Philippines and Pangasinan. This Agustinian church stand along the main road of Concordia Poblacion. This shows a strong the Catholicism heritage in the province. Just in front of the church’s gate are the souvenirs and binungeys for you to try.
Bolinao Wet Market – a place I always remember where my mama or lola and I went to get some fresh produce and marine products. Here you can get a freshly caught sungayan which is very delicious after grilling.
Breakwater and El Pescador Resorts and Hotel – a short turn going to Germinal toward the sea lays a beautiful view of the vast South China Sea. You can hangout and stay at the El Pescador Resorts and Hotel and ask your sungayan to be grilled.
Dewey
Guiguiwanen Channel, Subor, Cape Bolinao Lighthouse, Our Lady Fatima Hills, UP Marine Science Institute, Cueba ni Palos – this is one of the oldest beach resorts we have in Bolinao. You just need to pay for the nipa huts or cottages at a very affordable price. You might want to climb the Our Lady of Fatima Hill and pray in the chapel before you continue climbing to the Cape Bolinao Lighthouse, one of the oldest beacons we have in Pangasinan, another is in Patar. You can also go down and ask from UP Marine Science Institute to join on their trips to Silaqui Islands where giant clams were bred. From the UP Marine Science Institute building along the sea shore walk towards west and you will see the Subor or spring in English where fishes swims across the sweet water towards brackish then salty. Cueba ni Palos or Palos’ Cave is an amazing adventure. There is a legend about the cave with three entrances, which was used by Palos as a panic to keep him safe during the war. One of the entrances goes to his room and the others go to the intruder’s death place.
Pantalan, Dewey White Beach, & Balin Buaya – see the port of Bolinao and the islands separate from the mainland with the vast view of white sand and ocean, pass through a rumoured sprouting volcano, the salt factory, colourful apay or straw mats made of a family of anahaw (a round-leaf fountain palm) leaf or what local calls silag and the local weavers, maguey ropes andsinamay weavers, and the local community or the fishing village.
Long Beach and Governor’s Road Beaches – additional beaches you can explore around Bolinao where sand were white and people were so nice.
Patar Beach View
Balingasay Beach – this is a haven for local bars and fishing village along the trench of a river approaching the ocean. I remember my mom telling stories about how brackish the waters of this area and how strong the current where they used to training the swimmers’ speed as an athlete. This is where you can find the salt and pepper colour of sand where you can as well enjoy the sunset view.
Patar White Beach, Enchanted Cave, Patar Lighthouse, Rock View Beach – more beach, amazing cold waters inside a cave, another beacon of light, and the amazing Rock View Beach showing off the various rock formations.

Breathing taking dusk time view of Bolinao’s Rock Formations.
There’s a lot more Bolinao can offer from food to adventure to soaking yourself on its beautiful beaches. If you would like to get some details on Bolinao Travel Guide, I will be creating a different link for you to look at or you can email me directly to give you some recommendations.

Starting Summer in the Philippines as Early as February

Never would you miss out a fun in an island where you will not seek for the sun, sand, beach, and a little of those fun and memorable activities. Anawangin Cove, San Antonio, Zambales is one of the place where you can bask yourself under the sun, enjoy the beach, and the rigorous activities you can do such as climbing, snorkeling, and enjoying its nature's beauty.

As early as 7 we are all up and started our breakfast. Some ran along the Anawangin beach and some enjoyed sunrise watching. It was a different experience as we turned down our tents and waved goodbye to Anawangin Cove as our sail sets for Capones Grande Island or also known as Faro de Punta Capones. While our pump boat pushes its way against the waves, we have short discussions about the trees that grow along the Anawangin beach which was thought off as pine trees. NO! it’s not a pine tree but another member of the Plantae kingdom, Pinophyta division, and Pinopsida class called the Conifers or Agoho, which adds mystery on the place.

View at the docking station where some adventurers were taking photos near the cliff.

The docking area at Faro de Punta Capones.
We docked at Capones Grande Island, went down our pump boat and get wet before we can really step on the islands dry area to climb the island and atop the historic lighthouse which guides international vessels to Subic Bay coming from the north to northwest to Manila Bay. It’s height is 65.0 ft. with a range of 25 nautical mile (46 km) which was constructed by brick masonry and was first lit in August 1, 1890.


We went up at the lighthouse feeling the creeps and excitement, for some will be fear due to its height. Upon reaching the top, you will see a magnificent view of the whole island.

Top view of the Capones Lighthouse Garrison which was wrecked by previous typhoons.

Marz enjoying a meadow photo shoot with her rasta sarong blown by Capones Island breeze.

After enjoying the view we were asked to go down and this ends our Zambales tour. Sad as we will be back on our regular working lives, we are still happy as we have experienced yet another view of the Philippines and shove this off to our memory banks and treasure chests.  In addition, earning new friends is added atop the list for this trip.

This is just the start of my summer and will share more in the next post!

Happy reading... for any suggestion or comment just write them up. Ask me question and will answer them as soon as I can.
