My spur-of-the-moment foray into travel blogging was a result of my stark realization, and visualization, concerning my Philippine travel experience. At LAKBAYAN, a beta mapping project created by techno blogger Eugene Villar, you can map out your travels in and around our 7,107 islands and survey your unchartered Philippine destinations. I only got a C+. To improve my grade, I vowed to see more of my country and chronicle my exploits–big or small–around my home province of Cebu, the urban jungle of Metro Manila where I currently live and work, and the rest of the archipelago I plan to explore. So many islands, so little time. Southern Tagalog, eastern Luzon, Panay and Mindanao, here we come!
