I visited the bee farm to learn more about the bees that i have in my area and to ask why at night time they invade my house, they are attracted to my lights. I took a sample of one of the bees and Rico immediately knew what it was, it's a giant species that is very different from the other types of bees. He then informed me on how to keep them away from my lights and my house. Rico then went on to show me other varieties of bees he has there on the farm.The bees I found most interesting are the tiny stingless bees and he pointed out how they are the most valuable type of bees to have around. In addition to the bees he had a variety of fruit trees and plants. The plant that i found most interesting was the vanilla plant, it is propagated in a very unique way.He also had fruit trees that were grafted to different varieties of fruit trees so that one tree can produce a variety of fruits. I learned quite a bit there at Omoyon Bee Farm and i am inspired to reproduce some of what he has done there at my own property up in valencia. If in the area are highly recommend stopping by for a visit.

Chris guides this trek for 18yrs. very fit guy. knows the route inside out and the villagers along the trek. lots of knowledge. we chat everything under the sun. he is not pushy, followed my pace and gave me time for pictures. 2 routes available: route 1 (loop): start at casaroro falls entrance, twin falls, kaipohan sulphur vents, lake nailig, summit, back to lake nailig, lake yagumyum, sulphur vents, return to entrance of casaroro falls. route 2 (transverse): start at casaroro falls entrance, twin falls, kaipohan sulphur vents, lake nailig, summit, back to lake nailig, lake yagumyum, end at bidiao at dauin which is also at dauin geothermal exploration project. trek from casaroro falls to summit is 10km. from summit to bidiao is 7km. althou the 7km seems shorter, it is not easy getting down as most of the rocks were covered with green moss and slippery tree roots. trek is usually done in 2days where you camp at lake nailig. the temp at the lake can dip to 10degrees or lower. not wanting to subject myself to torture and bringing additional load, i opt for route 2, day hike, 2L water, packed lunch, wore a tshirt and shorts, trek shoes with good tracksion, good socks!, started at 6am. bring plaster in case of blisters or paste it over toes beforehand. wear long pants n long sleeves if you are afraid of getting cuts by tall grass or plants. there is no mosquito and buys but alot of spider webs. took me 4hrs from start to summit and 4hrs from summit to bidiao. i am a avid trekker, fit and my pace was fast with rest points while taking pics along the trek, the summit and a 15mins lunch. trekking permit is required for the trek and the route can be confusing for many as there were many routes on the mountain without signages. glad i hired a guide! if you are trekking this for the first time, start early and expect double the time required. the steps up are very high and requires you holding to the roots to pull urself up and some crawling on all fours to squeeze your way under fallen trees. His rates as of Feb 2019 (guide ratio 1:3): overnight trek p750/day (the guest bring food for themselves and for the guide. guest bring own camping equipments) p850/day (the guest pay the guide to bring his own food. guest bring own camping equipments) day trek p1500 (the guest bring food for themselves and for the guide) p1700 (the guest pay the guide to bring his own food) *note that if you select route 2, you have to pay for the guide transportation back to valencia town for p350 (habal habal hire) *note also you can rent camping equipments from chris at additional cost contact him via facebook messenger, glecerio chris d. gonzalez. there are other guides available and could be found on tripadvisor.

The 100+ year history of this highly ranked, American-founded university is too complex and deep to cover here. The campus is a beautiful, green respite from he surrounding city and contains fine examples of Eastlake architecture, Art Deco, and Classic architecture - set in a mature, verdant Beaux-Arts style arrangement. Also, unlike many universities, its easy to access at the gates and visitors are not turned away. Worth reading a Wiki article on it that captures the founding in depth, WWII history, and even interesting events from he Marcos era. In the meantime, just enjoy the walk.

Less than a 30 minute drive from Dumaguete and whilst normally you can drive up a road with nice views this time the bridge over the small river from the main road was under repair and we ( 6 of us ) had to walk up the almost 1 kilometre of a quite steep road . Not a too difficult walk and definitely worth while .The 2 water falls , pools in which you can swim , and the cafe , bar , and other facilities were all very good . When the road re-opens there is parking , for a small fee .

We just happened to be there when they were putting a fresh coat of paint on the inside of the church. It was truly amazing how well preserved the beautiful church is.

A must to wake up early to enjoy the sandbar in the early morning and the rising of the sun. Then the dollhin watching will be after taking a picture of the 6km sandbar. You can also enjoy lunch while docking in the waters once the water rises. It is one of the best places to go to.

It's a well maintained site, people are friendly. It's very nice renting a kayak (150 for a 2 people kayak per hour) and go around the lake and explore. Also has a nice resteruant with good view.
