The conference has ended in Day 1 at Singapore, and it was time for me to explore this foreign area for the first time. Like I always do, I like to try taking up public transport, instead of being accompanied to my hotel by the event organizers. Good thing I was about to change my Philippine pesos into Singaporean dollars ...
Taxi at Iloilo Airport
It was Friday noon of June 29th, a cloudy day in Iloilo Airport. I picked up my fellow Geo-Advocate Wayne Manuel from the airport in Iloilo. It was his first time coming to Iloilo and I am glad to be at his service to have him greeted at the airport and send him to his hotel ...
It was a much unexpected outing. Our boss from Los Angeles came into town and of course, would like to get a taste of the Philippine sun and sand. After browsing and inquiring several beach resorts near Manila, we finally decided to head for Laiya, the last beach frontier in Batangas. I read and heard rave reviews about this new ...

Obviously, if the train is late, passengers-in-waiting increase. I was running out of time, so I forced myself to get into a jam-packed MRT and went to Ortigas. A lot ...
A lot of us are taking for granted the sign “Keep Ticket for Inspection” in the buses or even in its tickets. Let’s not be hypocrites here, sinisiksik natin yung tiket kung saan saan o di kaya itatapon na lang kasi parang basura ang mga ito. It's a hassle but given the nature of buses in Metro Manila which of ...
If NAIA Terminal 3 was difficult to access through public transportation, NAIA's Terminal 2 (also known as the Centennial Airport) and Terminal 1 (old NAIA International Airport) are otherwise, very very accessible...in fact, it is s0 intertwined directly with Metro Manila's busiest thoroughfare...EDSA! In spirit of helping the Filipino people and foreigners alike, I would like to share my knowledge ...
