It's More Fun in The PHILIPPINES.

Got inspired by the new slogan of the Department of Tourism to boost the tourism industry in The Philippines. Did some typo in some pictures I took through my travels in The Philippines. Check out: Anton Diaz's compilation in Pinterest.

Tourism Secretary Ramon Jimenez defended the slogan by tweeting, “The line isn’t a manufactured slogan. It’s simply the truth about our country. Don’t be swayed by people who are trying to punch holes in it.” (Inquirer.net) Also, in Lonely Planet's description "The second-largest archipelago in the world, with over 7000 tropical islands, the Philippines is one of the great treasures of Southeast Asia."

Truly, It's more fun in the PHILIPPINES. Visit The Philippines.

Back rides in tricycle in the Philippines is fun. Go north. Yes, North Luzon. Visit  Vigan, Ilocos Sur. More fun in Vigan.

Wanna go caving and boating at the same time? Wanna see one of the New7Wonders of Nature? Trust me. This place is one of the best in The Philippines. Visit Puerto Princesa Underground River in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

Hiking and seeing the magnificent crater of Taal Volcano in Taal, Batangas. It's more fun to see the volcano's mouth in The Philippines. See my related post: HERE. 

Astounding view at the 2000 year old Banaue Rice Terraces. It has also been recognized as one of 8th wonder of the world. Carved on the mountain side by hand, an engineering marvel and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. (PhilippineCountry).  Visit Banaue. See my related post: HERE.

Wanna try the "Wheele of fate"? Amusement park in The Philippines? Visit Enchanted Kingdom in Laguna, Philippines.

Reaching The Taal's Crater (Luzon, Philippines)

The itinerary of this trip was originally staying in Tagaytay only. We rented a 15 seater van for the day, while we're waiting for our friends who tried the zip lining at Picnic Groove in Tagytay we were approached by Manong who offered us a day trip to see the peak of Taal Volcano. We were somewhat hesitant at first because it was almost past 12 in the afternoon and our stomachs are empty. Manong said that we can have lunch at the resort. My college friends are adventurous so we gave it a try. Apparently, we're not prepared to do some hiking and stuff.  Actually, we weren't able to bring anything for hiking, take note: What we're wearing for a day tour in Tagaytay is all we have and an extra shirt. So here it goes:

This how we looked like inside the van, I'm at the last seat.

Some of us were sleeping because we departed in Manila at around 7am in the morning.

While waiting for the van, we paid some entrance fees and other fees.

Some of my adventurous classmates tried the Tagaytay Ridge Zipline. 

Saw this little insect at the railings of the stairs. "Life's hard, y'know.?"

Creepy abandoned old structure.

On our way to Batangas. We're getting ready to conquer Taal's trek.

We rented two Bancas. Yes, we're getting close to the volcano. 

We always thought that this is the Taal Volcano. The Taal Volcano is actually the Volcano beside that. That is active.

Yeah! Almost there.

And yeah. We finally reached the start of the saddle.

Let the trekking begins. Notice our outfits: slippers, shorts, ect.

The trek would normally consume 40mins. to 1 1/2 hour. Depending on how fast you are. I was dead tired at the first half. Thanks to the people who sells bottled water at the start of the saddle. Note: Don't rent hats. It's sometimes useless. The stick or tungkod is better.

We reached the mouth. We were on the peak of Taal Volcano. Magnificent!

Our good friend, Mik. Took us some group pictures.

The actual peak/mouth of the Taal Volcano. It's actually look like a big lake surrounded by islets.

My good friends, Vanessa and Sexy (Rose Anne). On our way down, we rented the horses for 100 pesos /per one way. Horseback riding, baby!
