He was a sports writer for a national newspaper. He also contributes his stories to another national newspaper and hoping to be the editor-in-chief of his own newspaper. He is now working as a web writer in a web development and 3D animation company but he prefers to be called a digital media journalist. It sounds better.

The Guimaras Adventure






The term fits my tour. It’s definitely adventurous cause I really didn’t know where to stay in the island province of Guimaras. I would be visiting the coastal villages of Nueva Valencia which were greatly affected by the Petron oil spill last three years. Nyaha. It sounded very, very exciting. What’s the right term for me? Navigator? Route finder? Well, I was just an ordinary backpacker who wanted to find his destination and avoid getting lost.

Went to Barangay Tando.
Pored over the mangroves in Tando Mangrove Farm.
Walked for pleasure in Jordan.
Took a very, very long ride from Jordan to the coastal villages in Nueva Valencia.
Went to Alibuyod Beach. Lovvvvvveeee it! Very pristine. Has fascinating rocks and fine white sand.
Enjoyed the pumpboat rides from Iloilo.
Enjoyed eating dried mangoes.
Enjoyed having dried and messed up hair.
