This 6-day Western Visayas (Panay Island) Adventure
was supposed to be postponed due to changes of plans. First, this was
supposed to be a couples trip, three of us together with our wives.
Second, financially not prepared...hehehe...however being lakwatsero's
at heart we managed to solve that issue...^_^. and Lastly, mentally not
prepared, however we managed to visit all of the provinces on our list
although we missed some of the places we wanted to visit.
This trip happened last September 11-16, 2013. I together with Eric and Carlo was able to visit 7 provinces (Iloilo, Antique, Aklan, Capiz, Guimaras, Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental). Being first timers on some of the provinces, we tried to visit the most recommended places that could fit it on our tight trip itinerary. So let's start with.....
1st Day: Touchdown Ilo-ilo, Visited the towns of Miag-ao and visited Jaro on our way to Guimaras on Day 4.
We arrive at Iloilo Airport and look for van going to Iloilo City proper and alight to the van terminal that passes by the town of Miag-ao. And visit the historical of Church of Santo Tomas de Villanueva also known as Miag-ao Church. We had some photo-opps session, in and out of the church and afterwards we said goodbye and offered prayers for our safe journey. After visiting the church we scout for a carinderia that serves local delicasies of Ilonggo's and were happy to found one just few meters away the church.
On our 4th day going to Guimaras, we managed to stroll around town of Jaro before going to the port that is going to Guimaras Island. We visited Jaro church, Iloilo City Hall and Graciano Lopez Jaena Park.
After visiting Miag-ao, we then wait along it highway and ride bus bound to San Jose, Antique and then transfer to van going to Tibiao, Antique. Upon arriving to it's crossing (forgot the name of the crossing, just tell the van driver that your going to Kayak Inn. It took us almost 3 hrs to get to Kayak Inn coming from Miag-ao due to some stops and waiting for passengers to fill in the van ride going to Tibiao. Our first overnight stay (kubo type accommodation) for our trip is Kayak Inn.
1st Day: Antique, quickie stopover in San Jose and had a full of adventure in Tibiao.
It was around lunchtime when we arrive at Kayak Inn in Tibiao, Antique. Damn were so hungry, thanks for the caretakers that they do offer paluto. We had for our lunch a porkchop meal. Right afterwards were off for our first day adventure. Trek to Bugtong Bato falls and followed by Kawa Hot Bath experience...^_^
After having two memorable activities in Tibiao. We had an early dinner of Sinigang na Baboy (paluto again). We ended our night by having few drinks (red horse)....hehehehe...Ended the night early and had a very good sleep.
2nd Day: My second time in Boracay, Aklan.
We got up early and had our breakfast. But before saying goodbye, we visit first the Hanging Bridge to enjoy the lush greenery view and surroundings and few photo opps in Tibiao River.
We fetch again by our hired habal-habal up to Tibiao town proper. We wait for the bus bound to Caticlan. Me and Eric are not first timers on Boracay, however Carlo is virgin on this island...hehehehe. He wanted to try Boracay in a chillax way. So upon arriving Caticlan port, we immediately pay necessary fees and go to the boat waiting for passengers.
Our initial plan is to stay in Kalibo, however due to request of Carlo, he wanted to see Boracay by night. So for our 2nd day accommodation, we choose to stay in Boracay Courtyard sister hotel of the La Carmela de Boracay Resort Hotel. After settling our backpacks on our room, we immediately change our outfit to swimming attire. Were on swimming mode that time, strolled around from Station 1 up to midway of Station 3. Ending all of our entire half day at the beach.
Since were on budget trip, for our dinner is one of the famous fast foodchain in Boracay. We had our dinner at Mang Inasal....hehehehe. Again for 2nd day, we had some bar hopping activities....^_^. Ended the night a bit drunk but we manage to got on hotel safe and have a very nice sleep.
3rd Day: Capiz, visited the town of Sta. Monica and stroll, walk, overnight stay and food trip in Roxas City.
We just got up in time for our free breakfast (we just pay additional php150 because the free buffet breakfast is just good for 2pax). After breakfast, we had last minute shopping and off to our next destination. To visit and stay for a night in Capiz. We were able to visit to of its towns, Sta. Monica and Roxas City.
Upon arriving at van terminal in Roxas City, Capiz, we look and ask around how to get to Sta. Monica Church known in having the Biggest Catholic Church Bell in Asia. However most of the locals recommends that we should rent a tricycle and we could include a city tour around Roxas City. So we hired a tricycle for our half day quickie tour of the two places.
For our quickie city tour in Roxas City, we strolled around Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Capitol Building, its park, rotonda and Roxas bridge. After doing city tour our trike driver recommends Asia Novotel for our cheap accommodation, since it was near the city center....^_^
We wrapped the day of adventures in Capiz, happy and contented. We see much of Capiz offered, we had a quickie city tour, and visited a quite town of Sta. Monica. We had our dinner at Baybay Beach ala Dampa style in Manila. This time we ended the night without having drinking sessions....^_^
4th Day: Guimaras, we toured two of its town, Nueva Valencia and Jordan. Stay for a night at Raymen Beach Resort.
We have to get up early again to ride bus bound to Iloilo and headway to Jordan Port bound to Guimaras Island for another day tour and overnight staycation. So after few hours of bus ride, we arrive in Iloilo and get to Jordan Port and met up our trike ride/photographer/tour guide Kuya Cherald (0908-4748122)..^_^
First stop, Mt. Balaan Bukid dayhike since this is the farthest, next was Ambacan Falls and last was Smallest Plaza for town of Jordan. Next town to visit is Nueva Valencia, we had two stopovers for Manggahan Viewdeck and Camp Alfredo, next was the Guimaras Provincial Capitol and Museo de Guimaras, Pasalubong Center in Guimaras. For our last stop of day tour is Guisi Lighthouse and Guisi Beach.
For our overnight stay, we choose to stay by the beach and Kuya Cherald suggested Raymen Beach Resort. So after our quite grueling day tour, we then proceed to Raymen and stay their for the night. After settling our things to our room, we then proceed to the beach...swimming mode naman!!!!
Expenses:
5th Day: Negros Occidental, quick city tour in Bacolod City and visited the town of Murcia and spend half day at Mambukal Resort.
Upon arriving in Bacolod via fastcraft ferry ride in Iloilo, we hurriedly look for jeepney that is going to city proper. Luckily there was a private pickup type that get passengers for a minimal amount. Upon reaching Bacolod city proper, we had a quick city tour, buy pasalubongs in Bongbong's and have lunch at SM Bacolod.
After having all of that activity we proceed to our next destination. In the town of Murcia, where Mambukal Resort is located, we will visit the famous 7 waterfalls, however due to time constraint, were just able to visit 6 of its 7 falls. We intended to go back to city and transfer to our next destination which is town of Silay for the Mansion Ruins. However due to untoward bus ride experience, who would not be pissed of, from Mambukal Resort where minibus terminal going to Libertad Terminal, Bacolod. We travel for almost 3 hours if im not mistaken. We arrived at Bacolod kind a late and the weather did not actually going to favor on our side. So we decided not to proceed for our next destination because it was too dark and just stay again in SM Bacolod to waste few hours. We had dinner there and stroll around. And then proceed to Ceres Bus Terminal bound for Dumaguete.
Around 12 midnight is the schedule of bus bound to Dumaguete. Approximately we will travel for 5-6 hours depending how the bus will be driving. However, were so happy that our bus driver that time was kind a fast and furious mode, we arrive at Dumaguete quite early.
6th Day: Negros Oriental, we had a quick city tour, visit the famous university in town known as Silliman University and buy pasalubong in Sansrival, famous delicacy in Dumaguete and wasted our remaining hours at Robinson Place Dumaguete.
Arriving in town quite early in the morning, it was around 430 in the morning. So we choose to stay inside the bus terminal in Dumaguete and wait for the sunrise before doing our itinerary that day. First on our list is to have a quick city tour. Right afterwards, after having breakfast at Atong Kamalig Restaurant near Silliman University, we toured inside Silliman University took some photo opps, talk to some of the students and relax, sit and stayed on their amphitheater. After looking back on our school day memories at Silliman University. We then walk towards to Dumaguete's Baywalk, and right afterwards, we go to Sansrival Restaurant to buy the famous pasalubong in Dumaguete's "Sansrival". Right after tasting sweet delicacies, we then ride a tricycle going to Robinson's Place Dumaguete since our flight is around 4pm in the afternoon. We just savor our time at Robinson's Place.
After having good time in the mall, and my co-traveler buy sunglasses on one of the stores inside Robinson's Place. By the 230pm, we exited the mall and traveled via tricycle from Robinson's Place Dumaguete to Dumaguete Airport. Were bit early as our plane back to Manila scheduled around 350pm. So what we did inside the airport is just sleep at the available sit besides our hand carry things, wait for our boarding time and and in few hours we will be back to reality.
Expenses:
Arriving bit late afternoon in Manila, stress out, quite tired due to our 6 days of activities in Western & Central Visayas. We managed to visit all of the provinces on our list, although we missed some on our list. But were really happy and satisfied in the outcome of our trip, it can be more happier if were with our wives that time, but there's always a next time for our trip together with our wives.
