Tour Siquijor

On our first day on the island of Siquijor, we were scheduled to have an island tour. It has 6 municipalities and we visited 5 of them. A multi-cab was hired to accommodate 7 adults, 3 teenagers, and 2 kids. Our friend's uncle also followed in a motorbike.

Coco Grove

Waking up early in the morning, our very first stop is Coco Grove Beach Resort, just for a walk on the beach. We can see the marine sanctuary in the distance but did not visit it. We just sat on the beach and watch clear waters and play with the kids in the fine white sand comparable to the ones in Bora.

Sanctuary

Breakfast at our friends' house followed and packing while we wait for the cab to come.

Balete Tree

Following the Siquijor Circumferential Road, our first stop at Lazi is the Century Old Balete Tree. It is found located at the side of the road, so very easy to get to. They have a small bazaar that sells pasalubong in form of shirts, key chains, food, dream catchers and a lot more. Love potions and herbal oils are also sold here. But the attraction of the place is the sprawling Balete Tree at the side. The locals added a Fish Spa at its roots which you can use for a 10-peso fee. So you can sit at the edge of the mini-pool, gaze at the tree while your feet are cleaned off the fishes. They also have a mini-zoo of sorts. It has different kinds of animals, like the big black Boa who is curled asleep, cackling crows and native chickens, monkeys, hamsters, guinea pigs, turkeys and a pair of dogs, They also have a cage with bats and chickens, a commensalism set-up.

Fish Spa at the Balete

Our next stop is the Lazi Church, also known as San Isidro Labrador Parish. We were in despair because it is a very beautiful church and it's falling apart. The floors were creaky and some actually move when you step on them. The paint is peeling, and the air actually smells of neglect. As a National Cultural Treasure, it is not being properly taken care of.

Lazi Church

Next on the list is the Cambugahay Falls, it has 3 falls located at the bottom of a 100+ step stairs, feels that way somehow. It does not have an entrance fee, but you need to pay a parking fee depending on the vehicle you brought, So it ranges from 10-50 pesos.We went down and saw a lot of people jumping from the top of the falls to clear blue-green water below. They also provide a jump swing, where you can swing nd jump for an unlimited number of times for 20 pesos, I overheard the man said it since we did not try that one.

The 8 feet pool

The very first fall open to the public is wide and the pool below it is also big with a depth of 8 feet. The jump is short, 5 feet or so of falling. The 2nd falls does not have a large pool, so people just take a dip in it. The 3rd falls has a depth of 15 feet and a jumping point of 10 feet above the water. I actually took a deep breath before jumping on this one, but the feeling is exhilarating so I did it 3 times then did a dive on the last one, but not at the 10ft mark, but on the platform constructed 5ft above the water, which is nearer.

The 15 feet pool with platform

We then proceed to Salagdoong Beach at Maria, Siquijor for Lunch and some Cliff Jumping. The entrance fee to the beach resort is 35 pesos, all amenities included. We ate lunch first then took a dip the sea. The sand near the edge is gravelly though, but there is an area a few feet away from the beach where the sand is fine and the water deep. A nice place to lay down in the water and bask in the sun.

The beach and the cliff in the distance

After this, we decided to take a plunge from the Cliff which is the main attraction of this resort. So they have 2 jumping points, one at 5 meters above water level and the other one 10 meters above the water level. The water depth is at 15 meters on a high tide and they do not allow jumps on a low tide.
I really needed to talk myself into jumping because vertigo hits every time I wander near the edge of the diving board. I finally jumped after taking forever and it was actually a freeing experience. The hubby even jeered because he managed to jump from the 10m cliff and he does not know how to swim. He asked a friend to check if the coast is clear then did a running jump. Next time maybe if I have the guts.

view from the top of the Cliff

Going home now, we stopped at Lilibeth's Pan Bisaya located at Enrique Villanueva, Siquijor, which was featured in a lot of travel & tour shows in the Philippines and bought some of their specialty bread stuffed with bukayo, or coconut. They are actually baking in a dome-shaped oven that is actually homemade and not bought on appliance centers.

Lilibeth's Pan Bisaya Oven

We also stopped by at the Talingting Boulevard, but it was a hot afternoon so we did not really stay, but I bet the sunset view from there would be awesome.

Talingting Boulevard

Then at Larena, we stopped for snacks at the Triad Coffee Shop. It was a dome-shaped building overlooking Siquijor. You can see the white beach at the distance, the depth of the water defined by its changing colors from blue-green to deep blue and the skies are clear as well. You can see Bohol, Cebu, Dumaguete even the fumes above Mount Kanlaon. The air is fresh and you can just let the wind blow your worries away.

Panoramic View of the Triad

Back at San Juan, we stopped by a place they called mini-Boracay, it's actually a beach with coconut trees at the side. The white sand stretches all the way from the palm trees to the beach. A lot of foreigners were sunbathing and walking in it. They said that it is where tourists flocks when the sun sets for the view.

Panoramic View of mini Boracay

Our last stop is Capilay Spring Park, it is a public pool located the Poblacion of San Juan. So residents won't have an excuse of not having water in the house for bathing because a public pool is open and free for all at their disposal.Though they charge environmental fees for tourists. The pool is flowing spring water and is at 6 feet, so pretty deep. It is fresh and cold, a very nice way to rinse oneself from the sea water clinging to ones' hair. The park also had a cafe and benches for picnics. Really idyllic place amidst the bustle of the municipality's capital.A very nice way to end the tour as well.

Capilay Spring Park

After this, it's home sweet home for rinse and rest.

So that's 5 out of 6, Mount Bandilaan is located in Siquijor, that should have been 6th. But anyway, I bought pasalubong there..
So 6 out of 6, though not a very thorough one :D

Lakbay 2017: Siquijor

For the Holy Week (Lent Season), the hubby and I were invited to stay over at a friends house.

We obliged and were off the grid for a few days because Siquijor is an island province where the internet signal and cellphone signal are ghosting, meaning it comes and goes. It is also rumored as the witches lair and the voodoo capital of the country, so yeah, a pretty neat place to be when people are celebrating the death and resurrection of Christ.

But I am getting ahead of myself, first, let's talk about how to get there. You have two options. First and the most usual is riding a ferry from Dumaguete, Tagbiliran, and Iligan. The nearest and has a daily schedule is, of course, Dumaguete and they have 4 different ferries, GL Shipping Lines, Montenegro, Aleson, and OceanJet. Here's a link to schedules from the internet. The fare ranges from 100 to 300 and the travel time to 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours or more. The 2nd and less popular option is to charter a small plane or helicopter and be flown over. Its' expensive too.

For us, since we are living in Iloilo, we have 2 options as well. Flying to Dumaguete or do a road trip. We took the 2nd option since doing it by plane is expensive and we were with friends.

So a ferry from Iloilo to Bacolod early in the morning (first trip), that will cost you from 250-400 pesos depending on the ferry taken and the accommodation. That took an hour or so. Breakfast at the pier to ready ourselves for the 6-hour trip. :D

We left Bacolod at 9 AM and arrived in Dumaguete at 3 PM with the bus traveling south. Do not ask me about the travel because I was asleep for most of it and is only awake for a few intervals watching the countryside roll by for awhile. Stretches of sugarcane and banana plantations that marks Negros then moved on to sea seen from a distance when we finally entered Dumaguete then the sea when we arrived at the pier for ferries to Siquijor.

Bought some tickets for a 3:50 PM trip that costs 170 pesos then proceeded to a popular cafe called Food Net for snack/lunch.

Finally, at 5:30 PM, we arrived at Siquijor and hired a tricycle to the municipality of San Juan where our friend lives. Hiring the tricycle costs 250 pesos but they also offer an island tour for 1000 pesos which will show you around the place. For us, our friends planned everything, so what we just need to do is wake up early and be prepared to be shown around. The main mode of transportation in Siquijor is the tricyle though there are motorbikes for rent and multicabs that take passenger but usually for hire or for long-distance trips like from Siquijor to Lazi.

St. Frandis de Assissi Church near Siquijor Pier

So the 1st day was spent on touring the island, I will post another article for this to highlight the many places we visited.

The 2nd day Holy Friday, we were supposed to trek to Mount Bandilaan but there was a bomb threat, so we ended up taking a dip near Coco Grove Resort at noon as our friends' family tradition and then attending mass at the San Juan Church and joining the procession.

We also visited the local shell museum Marelle's Underwater World Museum where they feature all species of sea creatures found in Siquijor and other places in the country. Crabs, urchins, shells (lots and lots of these), starfishes, and literature or backgrounds on sharks and the shells. It also has a souvenir shop where you can buy shirts, lamps, bracelets, earrings and other home decorations made entirely from shells and other local materials.

The 3rd day, Black Saturday, we spent the morning at the seashore. It was low tide and our friend's father gathered some sea urchins straight from the sea for our breakfast at the beach.There were 3 different kinds of urchins and I ended up eating one of each just to see the different in taste. the urchins tasted like crab meat to me, texture included and one urchin (inset) tasted best. Totally recommend eating it with steaming rice.

In the afternoon, we went to the municipality of Siquijor to inquire on trips and buy pasalubong. We ate snacks at M's Place where the siopao is sold for 16 pesos and the halo-halo served in a very tall glass. It tasted great too. Then next door, I forgot the name of the place for shirts and other pasalubong. And oh, they sell love potions too :D

Then Sunday, early in the morning, we left Siquijor at 5:30 AM for the trip back to Iloilo.

It was a very relaxing vacation and we promised to come back for our friend's wedding. Hopefully, it will come soon. :D

Antique: Seen On Malalison

Leaving the mountains behind, we now make our way to the next stop of our journey, the beautiful Culasi. The hour-long trip ended on the wharf where we will be riding a pump boat to bring us to the island of Malalison. Before heading out to sea, we ate lunch in Jing’s eatery (special mention coz name sake), had our water gallon refilled and bought a 3kg fish for only 250 pesos.

Malalison from the wharf

The trip to the island was brief, 15-20 minutes. There is an island visitors’ registration area where you will also pay 10pesos for environmental fee.
The house we rented for 3000pesos is quite big, it has 2 bedrooms good for at least 4 persons each, 2 bathrooms, a living room with tv and a kitchen complete with cooking utensils. There is also a pump behind the house for bathing. No running water here, and also no electricity during daytime. Electricity is only switched on during the night and only from 6pm-10pm. The house, though, has a solar panel installed.

Sand Bar

Instead of hiring someone to cook food for us, we decided to go cowboy and do the cooking ourselves. Good thing, some of our male companions knows the hows on the kitchen, so we are spared from having distasteful meals.  While some of us went about with cooking pancit, sugba (grilled) pork& fish, sabaw (sinigang isda); others went to explore the sand bar in the rain. They came back at around 3pm to eat. Swimming does make one hungry.

Swim, Drown & Snorkel

Finished with dinners preparations, all of us also went to the beach to go swimming, semi-snorkeling and picture-taking while watching the sun set. The sand bar separates 2 areas of swimming: on the left is a rather rocky beach with corals littering the area which is safe for swimming and on the right is the ideal place to swim with its sandy beach and deep waters and danger of sea urchins. One cannot really have it all. We swam in both areas of course, with a little care.

Rainbow Sunset

After all the pictures were taken, we went back to the house to clean up and eat our dinner, watch the pictures we took during this trip, played some cards and slept when the lights went out. Early the next day, we cook adobo while waiting for our tour guide for the mountain trek to arrive. And since its dark when we started cooking preparations, we had the chance to use solar-powered bulbs in the kitchen 

The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings

When the guide arrive at about 7AM, we started the climb. It started with stairs to the mountains, then a winding road that leads to the beach. We also passed by the school, the school is on the mountains and the children has to climb to get to it every single day. Exercise done right, in my opinion.

Pitcher Plant

Malalison Island has 3 high points when you look at it from the sea. The target of the climb is the 2nd high point. The trek brought us to the 1st point – Nablag Islet, it’s a low tide and the mountain is connected to the island via a stretch of sand. Along the way, pitcher plants dotted the side of the mountains. This side of the island is a coral beach, and we had fun picking out beautiful corals but the guide says that it is not allowed to bring any away. 

Nablag Islet

Hole in the Wall

Then we proceed to go the cave, it’s a slide down the mountain with only pine trees to save you. The pine trees planted is a project of DENR(Department of Environmental and Natural Resources) to bring trees on this, otherwise, grassy mountains. The cave is not really the cave that we are expecting, it is only a hole in the rock that can accommodate 20persons at once and the entrance is also the exit. Sort of a disappointment but we are only halfway and already thirsty. We stop for drinks and food, then proceeded to climb again.
 

The climb is steep and there is an area where one mistake can bring your death as the mountain has a cliff that directly falls to the sea. And you are not even sure how high it is. But we did reach the summit after a lot of rests, and the view is beautiful. Just leaves you wondering how it must look from the highest point, but the trek there is not for beginners as the tour guide insists. Then, we begin the trek back to the house for brunch and to prepare for departure as well.

The Advance Party

We paid the tour guide 500pesos. After eating and cleaning up, we decided to leave all leftover food to the caretaker and all our surplus food supply as well.

At around 12NN, we left the house behind. Rode the pump boat to tour around the island (during high tide only), was brought back to the wharf, and paid the pump boat 150pesos for the transportation to and from the island and the tour.

Then we waited for our van, and we are on our way to Iloilo city. We stopped by San Joaquin to buy bandi and arrived in Molo Plaza at around 4PM.

Tan not so visible but it was a great adventure and a cheap one too. Each person only paid 1,850 pesos for the 3day-2night trip.

Hooray for a Great Escapade!

Next week will be my Palawan adventures. Look out for it.

Antique: Dip Now in Tibiao

Leaving Molo Plaza at 5AM in the morning on a rented van, we pick a few friends along the way until the van is filled to its capacity of 15. Along for the ride are my officemates, friends and the bf. We are bound south to visit the beautiful neighboring province of Antique. Our first stop will be in Tibiao and the next is Culasi. The van is rented to us for 8k (8 thousand pesos) for this 3day-2night escapade.

We arrived in San Jose, Antique at about 9AM, making good time, withdraw some money in case we need to buy something unplanned on this trip. San Jose will be the last stand of civilization where access to ATMs and malls is still available. After this, it will be more of the provincial way of life.

Welcome to Tibiao!

An hour or so, we arrived in Tibiao, already at awe with the beautiful stretch of sand and sea that we glimpse through the van’s window. We stopped at the marquee heralding our entrance to Tibiao, got down from the van and have our picture taken as any tourist may have done. Our itinerary is quite lax since we did not get ourselves a tour as we have friends who hails from Antique and the places to visit are places she have been to before, therefore connections. For ready-made tours, a friend owns a katahum.com and he offers different tours for different places in Antique. But if you want to do it for less, you can always DIY.

Before proceeding to Kayak Inn, we also stopped at the tinda (market) of Tibiao to buy food supplies. No restos on the mountains, but the caretaker’s wife offers cooking services for a fee of 250pesos/meal. Quite reasonable for 15 of us. We bought 15 kilos of rice, pork, chicken, veggies, seasonings, ice for the cooler where we will be storing our food, and other things one might need for cooking.

Exploring if safe for swimming

Kayak Inn is located on the mountains, the van really has to climb a little bit as we wind our way into it. The driver really needs to be cautious, aside from the steepness the road is also under repair. At the entrance to the barangay where the mountain resort is situated, we were hold up a bit because the back hoe needs to be moved out of the way first so that the van can pass.

Glenn d monkey and Tanya d pig

We paid 50 pesos as environmental fee upon entrance. The dual zipline is also situated at the entrance. It costs 300pesos for each person. As we were hungry, we did not linger there. At around 12NN, we finally arrived at the Kayak Inn where we will be spending the night. We discussed what meals to be cooked for lunch, deliver it to the capable hands of the caretakers and relaxed.
 

While waiting for lunch, or afternoon mess; some of us relaxed in the shade, went exploring on the river and the hanging bridge, and befriended the animals as there are pigs, dogs, a monkey around the premises. Around 2PM, we lunched on fried chicken and pork with monggo and kalabasa for ‘sabaw’.

Malakagat Hanging Bridge

We would have loved to go kayaking or banana boating on the river, but since it’s the summer the water is quite low and its really not fun rowing in that. But there are places that are deep enough, so some frolicked and swam in the river.

swimmin coz no boatin and kayakin

After that, we reserved ourselves for a Kawa Bath which the place is sought after for. They have kawa that can hold 4 persons at once, there slightly smaller ones that can hold 2 and the slightly bigger than the one used for cooking that can only accommodate 1. While waiting as the Kawa is being prepared, some played basketball and some just sat talking while enjoying the mountain breeze. Quite a breath of fresh air after living in the city so long.

Kawa in flames for good boiling (sauna)

The Kawa Bath is for 250pesos and you can dip yourself in it until the water turns cool or until you feel that you are slightly cooked :D. Kidding aside, the advised max time is 30minutes until you are boiling and the vegetables are ready to be added.

At around 7PM, we have dinner on grilled pork and the leftover monggo from lunch. After this, we prepared for bed. There is electricity in the place but there are no entertainment sets. So, we make do cards and talking and gadgets while waiting our turn to use the bath.

We have an early night as well, for we planned on a trek to the falls before we leave in the morning.

Before the sun has risen, I was awake and about as one of our companions is taking photography lessons and she plans to have a picture of the sunrise. Woke everybody up as well at 530AM so that we can leave by 6AM for the falls.

A dip in cool 1st falls

Bugtong Bato Falls is located an hour away from the inn on foot and into the mountains. You cannot go there without a guide, so you need to hire 1 for 5persons at least. We hired 2 from the barrio and the caretakers’ daughter came with us. The trail is quite easy to follow, on the way to the falls. The 1st one has a place to swim in and also a spring where you can get drinking water. The 2nd one also has a place to swim but water is not so deep and you need to climb the stairs to get there. The 3rd one is amazing. It’s a 12ft basin below the falls with a wide area to splash into. The water is cool as well, and if only we are not going somewhere else, I could stay there all day to dip myself in that inviting freshness. You have to rappel your way into it or go via the stairs which is steeper than rock climbing.

Rock climbin to swim!

Sadly, good things must come to an end for a greater good. So we climb back down to bring ourselves back to the inn. We paid 300 for the barrio guides and some tip. Then we prepared to leave for Culasi. Our overnight stay is 250pesos each but the bed smells and feels nice so that makes up for it. The food was great to.

The 3rd falls is approved!

SHOUT OUT to the OWNERS of the PIX… Thanks to @goldpiz @mikejohnsabido @elzniv

 
Don’t forget to check back the next day for our adventures in Culasi.

Plot Wars: Garden Plot

In deference to the holidays, I will not be posting food related articles this week. It will be back next week, We had a few food experimentations that were not posted yet. So wait for it!!! They were quite tasty.

--------

A few months back, I posted about making our own compost for a garden plot and the effort it took to clean out the clay-like soil in said plot.

The compost pile had decomposed and we had flattened it out to form our garden. We subdivided it into 5 sections so that we can have passageways to walk in the garden without harming the plants. We also added an extension near the walls for crawling plants.



Don't mind the net! It's to prevent birds and snails and other insects from eating the leaves and stems of our plants especially the lettuce.

In the first section, the one with the black net, it's carrots and radishes. The black net is a recent addition after half of our radishes were cut. The carrots have not sprouted yet. We thought at first that the culprits were ants or leaf miners but since the stems are just cut off and left behind, we ignored that.  We observed it yesterday and caught the birds in the act of peeking stems, hence the net.

The 2nd section, the one with green circles, it's bell peppers and onions. Still small though and at least they have not fallen to animal cruelty but we still placed the screens to prevent the snails from eating them.

The 3rd and 4th section with blue nets are planted with lettuce and garlic and ginger. The nets are there to prevent the leaf miner and snails from eating the lettuce leaf. What's the use of having lettuce if the leaves are full of holes, right? So there. Anyway, we also have mongo beans beside the lettuce nets and I say that they are quite healthy looking with big leaves and all though some have holes. These are already flowering and some even have mongo bean pods already, so a harvest is in order soon.

Lettuce, Ginger, Mongo Bean

The 5th section is planted with tomatoes and alyssum. The tomatoes are also growing tall and have started to flower as well. So no more buying of tomatoes from the market soon. We hope to see the alyssum growing so we can replant some outside the walls.

Alyssum, tomatoes and watermelon

The extension plot, we planted string beans there but the beans did not grow, but in our compost pile, some watermelon seeds sprouted, so we transplanted them before we totally flatten the compost pile and planted it with radishes.

So that's the update on the plots. Will let you know if it survives the summer and if the carrots will grow and the flowers will sprout and if the harvest is as good as it should be since everything is growing well and fast.

Recipe: Bacon Wrapped Chicken

Since we bought a lot of chicken, we are experimenting with chicken recipes and ended up with this Fried Bacon Wrapped Chicken which is usually roasted or cooked in an oven.

Ingredients:

• Bacon Slice
• Sugar
• Salt & Pepper
• 6 pcs of medium Chicken Breasts cut
• 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1 tbsp Vinegar
• Oil
• 2 pcs of Calamansi,
• 2 gloves Garlic
• water
• mozzarella cheese (optional)
• toothpick

Procedure:

• Bacon

1. Place bacon slices in a bowl, as many as you'd like or at least 2 bacon slices per chicken breast. So amount depends on how large the chicken slices are.
2. Add some salt and pepper and sugar, and mixed them well.

• Chicken

1. Place the chicken breast in a bowl. 
2. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and calamansi juice. 
3. Mix all the ingredients.
4. Blanche the chicken.(Boil a cup of water in the pan. Once it starts bubbling, add the chicken along with the marinade. Wait for the chicken to turn white.)
5. Remove the chicken from the boiling water. Let it cool.
6. Slice the chicken in the middle, if you are adding (mozzarella) cheese.

• Bacon wrapped Chicken

1. Wrap the chicken in bacon slices, you can heat or fry the bacon beforehand but make sure that it is not cooked or already crispy.
2. Once the chicken is covered in bacon, stick a toothpick in the endpoints of bacon to held it in place.
3. Heat some oil in a pan. Fry the bacon-wrapped chicken in the oil. 
4. Make sure that all sides are well-cooked to thoroughly cook the chicken and bacon.
5. Place cooked chicken on top of a plate with table napkins to remove excess oil.
6. Place on a serving plate and pour syrup over the cooked chicken and serve.

• Syrup

1. I used Pulot (molasses) for the syrup actually. Or you can use brown sugar.
2. Place some sugar (pulot) in a pot, add some water. Wait for the sugar (pulot) to boil, then pour over the chicken.

Happy eating!!!

This was actually a recipe made during the cooking. There were some on-the-spot decisions that made everything OK like the cheese and the syrup. It was actually tasty, though the chicken was not as cooked as I would like, still the hubby loved it. So I am OK with that.

To avoid raw chicken meat, blanche thoroughly or longer so that meat near the bones will be well-cooked as well.

It was touch and go, and it turned out OK. After all, one could never go wrong with BACON!!!
