Discovering another famous island in the Philippines. Isla Gigantes is one of the tourist destinations that really captures the eyes of not just foreigners but also locals. It's just like paradise that you wanted to stay even if there is no internet connection or even electricity. Well, it's not just one island that you will discover when you visit the region/province, see it below. This is not my first time in Iloilo City but its my first time to explore the famous island.

Lake view in Burnham Park It was a crazy adventure for us because that was holiday season so expected that there are many people that will be travelling or going home to their province. Struggle was real when we look for a bus going to Baguio from Cubao bus terminal. Other buses were fully booked. It was late in the afternoon that we arrived in Cubao terminal and the operator told us the the bus going to Baguio will be available at 8:00 o'clock in the evening. We were shocked and tried to find other terminal that has earlier trip. Luckily, discussing other plan, someone approach us and offer to have a ride with a minimal cost. We immediately grabbed it and took the ride. As I mostly travel alone, I should say that traveling with yo
