Eden Flower Garden, Tupi

This is the Eden Flower Graden located at Tupi, South Cotabato, Philippines. Tupi derived from the word "Tufi" which was a vine chewed by native Blaan tribes who first inhabited the land. Tufi was abundant in the original forests and had a refreshing taste. This place is a flower haven, if you come here make sure not to pick any flower as it is harvested and sold in the market. You may purchase a bouquet of flower at their designated shop. #mytripvlog#urbanexplorer#tripblazers#awesomepic

The Beauty of Mt. Matutum

Another work and leisure experience! After the client and suppliers meeting we decided to do side trips before going back to the city and this is one of the best side trips I had. This beautiful view is situated at Tupi, South Cotabato. You can indulge this site on your way to SG farm also posted here. You can just stop by anywhere in a very wide pine apple field where you can have a good view of Mt. Matutum. We were blessed by the time we stopped by because we were able to see its beauty even though the weather is gloomy. I was mesmerized by its beauty and mystery. Fact: Mt. Matutum is one of the active volcanoes in Mindanao. #mytripvlog #lovetravels #tripblazers #2023travelwish

Discover Lake Holon

From Davao City, Philippines, I took a bus to General Santos City and transfered to a van going to T'boli, South Cotabato. Then a bumpy habal-habal ride took us from T'boli town proper to the jump off point in Salacafe. Lake Holon is accessible through 2 trails, Salacafe and Kule. Salacafe is an easier trail that only takes 3-4 hours whereas Kule is more difficult trails that takes about 5-6 hours to the Lake. I took the latter it passes by the view deck. It was really tiring but the view was worth it. When I visited there were only 2 other campers there so it was really peaceful. I was thankful that I took 2 sweaters with me because it was so cold during the night. I also took the chance to swim in the lake even if it was freezing cold. Visiting Lake Holon is one of my favourite travel memories. I would really love to be back. 💙 #nature #lake #travel #philippines

Back to work again! away from home. 😢 Have a safe trip everyone. Happy New Year 🥳🎉🎊

Calm. Serene. Tranquil.

Nice clear beaches in Saranggani #passionpassport

Sarangani Province is a rich ecotourism destination. Located south of the Philippines, 2hrs flight from Manila. Here you can explores many white sand beaches. Some famous are in burias, glan and several more. Water tubing is also a big trend here, it is similar to white water rafting but this one is with the use of old tire tubing. So fun to flow against the raging river of saranganani. #mynovgetaway

Boating at the Lake

The area is wide where you can go boating. You can also do fishing. It has a beautiful nature view: the wide lake and the green mountains. A great place to relax with family and friends.
