Way back on 2009, Alamada, Cotabato was still out from my knowledge. Until I met my boyfriend then who is now my fiance. His hometown, Alamada, is the first class municipality of North Cotabato and a five hour ride from Davao City. Little by little, people get to discover its hidden beauties inside and out. The influx of the people going in to the once solitary town to visit various places is now making rounds in social media. It is now one of the tourist spots in Mindanao! The nature is indeed a very wonderful gift from Him. Alamada is accessible both via Davao-Bukidnon and Davao-Cotabato Road. The common gateway of Alamada is thru Midsayap since it has a terminal for public utility vehicles from various cities. From Davao City to Midsayap You can ride a van in SM City Ecoland Terminal or Gasisano Mall Terminal bound to Midsayap or bus in Ecoland Bus Terminal bound to Cotabato City. Fare is P240-280.00 per way. Advise the van driver to drop you at the Midasayap terminal. 1. Su

Healthy greeny pineapple plants. With freezing temperature and almost zero visibility most of the time, Rangayen in Alamada is not far to be similar with Baguio in Luzon. This has been a good place for pineapple and strawberry plantations. It is also a nice place for hang-outs during three to five in the afternoon. Don't worry, the temperature is tolerable so no need to wear winter-like outfits. Jackets and cap will do. The road is already concreted and it's wide making the trip convenient and the place accessible. Before entering Rangayen. Zero visibility at highway. This is taken at 4 in the afternoon but looks like early in the morning.

See Alamada up from the sky and feel the cold breeze at Siya-Siya Peak! Known also as Shrine of the Holy Cross, the peak is a common place to visit every holy week. There is a cross placed at the top-bottom of the peak and just below is an unfinished chapel. It's a good place for those who want adventure and a solace place to meditate. With a travel time of almost two hours from Barangay Kitacubong, the way to Sitio Siya-Siya, Barangay Bato is a little bit rough. Not all roads are concreted and some are muddy when it rains. Though vehicles can pass along the way, heavy duty motorcycles are better. For security reasons, it is better to travel during dry season. Going to Sitio Siya-Siya, Barangay Bao Stairway is available from the foot of the hill. The trekking starts halfway to the peak. Some parts of the trail are very steep. Good thing they put railings. The back view of the peak. Few more "hingal" moments. The first thing w

December 2014. My December had been filled with adventures. It was just the right moment before I ended up my year 2014. And of course, I would not be leaving the year without discovering the beauty of the well-known Eden Nature's Park and Resort. It is more convenient to bring a car going up there. But for the commuters, ride a jeepney in Roxas Boulevard going to Ulas and advise the driver to drop you off at Ulas intersection. From there, ride a tricycle or habal-habal going up to the Eden Park which is still few kilometers away from the highway.  Before it was open to public, Eden Park had been just a hacienda of the Ayala's in Davao. Bamboos and ferns were the original plantations in the 80-hectare land and eventually, other plants were also added such as the Baguio pine trees, mangosteen, marang and many more to improve the site. As of now, only 65 hectares of it are being utilized as a park.They also added the herbs and spices such as basil and oregano; vegetable

December 2014. I'd been waiting for that long Christmas holiday break. And at last, just right after the Christmas day, I immediately packed up my things for my new adventure to a place to discover -  CAMP SABROS! Camp Sabros is owned by Mr. Edwin Sacdalan which is located at Sitio Baras, Kapatagan, Digos City. It has been known for its zipline and cable lift amenities and of course, the over viewing Kapatagan area. From Davao City, we rode a coaster or a mini bus of Davao Metro Shuttle bound to Digos City at the Abreeza Ayala Mall bus terminal. Fare is Php 100.00. We started our trip the next day. We headed to the old terminal via tricycle for Php 10.00 where the terminal heading to Kapatagan was also located. As per tricycle driver that we had talked to, motorcycle or habal-habal is the common mode of transportation used by commuters since this is always available in the terminal and it's faster also compared to vans which do not have clear trip schedule. They collec
