Camiguin Panaad 2011

dingdans — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 16:23:23 +0000

Already 1 year past since we went to Camiguin Island for the Panaad 2010 and now we will go back to Camiguin for the Panaad 2011. I’m so excited to go back in this Island because I’m pretty sure that I experience new things in this Island, aside on that it’s a 4 days of long day vacation. Another visits of the popular tourists spots of this Island which is the White Island, Sunken Cemetery, Ardent (hot Spring), Santo Nino (cold Spring), Soda, Old Church, Katibawasan falls and the Walkway.

While I’m making this post I’m packing my things to bring and wondering if I have enough money to travel tomorrow..(hahahha). Actually we decided late to go to Camiguin for the Panaad 2011. By the way while I’m worried about my money during my travel it came out on my mind about the Payday Loan which most of the people is using this one, yes I know it certainly doesn’t sound like the classiest things. Go back to my travel tomorrow, we will leave Cagayan de Oro around 4am and hopefully we will arrive before 12 noon at Camiguin Island which is impossible because tomorrow is busy day for the travellers and to those people who would like to relax and spend these days to their family and love ones.

But I have one thing in my mind during this travel tomorrow and that is to enjoy the long day vacation which is the very most important as a traveller to enjoy the place you go. I think I’m done with my post and almost done packing my things and I’m ready to go.. by the way, let’s stop the judgement on people who chose to borrow from a payday loan company.

Camiguin Side Trip

dingdans — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:36:25 +0000

Your CDO GUIDE went to Camiguin last weekend to attend a wedding to our friend; this friend is the officemate of Newlydiscover. Around 2 pm we leave Cagayan de Oro and around 4pm we arrived at Balingoan where we will ride a barge going to Camiguin which is a 1 and haft hour travel time. When we arrived Camiguin we go directly to the Fishpen resort where the group will stay and some of our friends are waiting for us on that resort. We are 15 in the group which some of us are so excited because it’s their first time to step Camiguin Island. In the next morning after the wedding the plan is already made on where we go and what tourist spot should the will be visited. Since the group has big number of people, we decided to rent a van and use it to our travel and trips for that particular day.

Here we go; our first destination in our first day is the Katibawasan falls which is one of the popular tourist spot at Camiguin. Tourist visits this place because of the big water fall and the forest looks to virgin, but the weather condition is not good as we expected, it was raining when we arrived at Katibawasan falls. But its okay, what we did in the area is only getting pictures and makes our crazy post together with the falls.

Since we could not swim to Katibawasan falls we decided to go to White Island although the weather condition is not good. The island is so quit because we are the only group in the Island; the water was so nice quit. But when we are in the island the weather condition was change.:-)

After enjoying at White Island, our next destination is the Ardent (hot spring). We stay and enjoy the place for almost 3 hours. I feel relax in this spring because of the water is so warm, there are lots of groups in this spring who enjoy also including foreigners and some tourist.

The next day before leaving Camiguin we decided to go another Island and that is the Mantigue Island. Going to Mantigue Island you need to rent a boat for only P550 to across the beach. The Island has a white sand, nice view to look at, clean water and in front of this Island are the big mountain of Camiguin. There are lots of things you can do in this Island, you can do snorkeling by renting their gear, visit and watch the sanctuary area and enter the turtle forest. By the way the van we rent in our tour is only P2, 500 in whole day, from 6am in the morning to 9 pm. View our some pictures..:-)

dingdans — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 09:10:32 +0000

Kagay-anons got busy when the month of August is coming, because it is the time where Kagay-anons celebrate the fiesta. Preparing events in fiesta is not easy as we think and to broadcast it, so as part of the community of Cagayan de Oro, we the CDO BLOGGERS try to help promote the city and series of schedules in our city through blogging. Aside of promoting the city we blog also on what happened in the event so that our kababayan abroad will know what is happening in their city of Golden Friendship. As we blog the event, our kababayan abroad so happy on what they read in the blogs about Cagayan de Oro and they consider us as CDO GUIDE because we let them know although they are in abroad.

But month of August is already passed and what we will do..? There is no already celebration happened in the next 4 months that kagay-anons can be proud off.

Final Day at Camiguin Island (PANAAD 2009)

dingdans — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 00:21:01 +0000

Our Camiguin tour will be completed if we would could not visit and enjoy the Elation Island they have, the White Island. Around 5:30 in the morning we already there, you wonder why we so early..? It is because we would like to witness the sunrise and to take some beautiful pictures in the Island. The Island is so great and they maintain the cleanliness of the Island. One thing that I observe at White Island when we arrived they ask us an entrance fee which is 30 pesos, I wonder why they ask us an entrance fee. I ask one of the in charges, he told me that the entrance fee that they get is for the maintenance of the Island. They start collecting an entrance fee for the White Island early this year according to him.

So much on that we go back to our trip, we bring our own food because it so expensive if we buy food at White Island. We enjoy the place, the nature and off course our food that we bring. I noticed also that Havaianas is there to promote their product, the sleepers. You can get pictures from them together with the big havaianas sleepers. Here is our pictures at White Island and the Havaianas..
