Through the years, motorists travelling to and from the north via McArthur Highway have always converged at popular stopovers to grab a quick bite to eat and stretch their weary limbs. These stopovers were usually located in Tarlac Province, which really makes sense because the province is pretty much the halfway point between Metro Manila and Baguio.

My friends would call Boracay “Greenbelt 6,” pertaining to its really commercialized state now. More so, purists find this need to compare it to its virginal days, back when it didn’t have yellow pizza delivery bikes and electricity went out every 6 o’ clock at night. I got to see a different side of Boracay lately, though, and to debunk myths that it has entirely sold out to stores and food chains, I’ll talk about the 2010 International Funboard Cup held in Boracay Island from January 22 to 27, 2010.

If you like taking pictures (or are fond of having your picture taken), Quebec City is as postcard-pretty as you can get. With its ancient city walls, graceful old buildings dominating the skyline, and French-speaking population, it can even be an alternative to Paris for a romantic getaway.

"Kuripot kasi mga taga-Davao," Sue Ann Orig-Samson remarked, laughing, after seeing the surprise in my face while reviewing Cafe Andessa's menu. Only two items exceeded 200 Pesos -- one of them is Crispy Buntot ng Tuna (Davao's specialty), inexpensively priced at P250, flat.

Still sleepless from an early flight to Dumaguete, we stumbled along the airport, fumbling with our bags and fixing our messy hair to look more alive. Our shuttle driver held up a sign with my friend's name on it. It was amusingly misspelled and left us all in stitches while boarding the van. An hour's worth of drive is what it took for us to reach our destination. We barely got to catch some shuteye during the drive -- there was a long stretch of bumpy dirtroad before we finally reached our resort. It was not a refreshing way to begin our vacation, but let me tell you this: once the big gates of Antulang opened to welcome us, a love affair began.

On April 27, some 488 years ago, Mactan may have looked like what would make a foreigner's legs turn into jell-o. That is, if Antonio Pigafetta's account of the Battle of Mactan holds accurate. As one of those who remained in the boat and survived the struggle, he related how more than a thousand natives (the number is historically doubted) gamely and savagely welcomed forty-nine of Magellan's men who were in the shores of Mactan to kill their resentful datu Lapu-Lapu. The end of this tale, as we all Filipinos have learned in our elementary Kasaysayan class, is Magellan's fatal defeat and Lapu-Lapu's acquiring of the title "First Filipino Hero."

With airfares plummeting to an all time low, getting around the Philippines has never been easier. With a little patience (and luck, perhaps) in promo scouring, a long weekend, extra moolah to spare, and Dora the Explorer's sense of adventure, you're ready to jet set and travel within the country.

It's June 12 kababayan! Save yourself one good day ahead and for once, steer your head clear of the ruddy bickering and chaos of Philippine politics. Now that there's a reason to be extra nationalistic, why not think of all the good things you absolutely adore about the Philippines? I, for one, can tell you loads on why I am proud to be a Pinoy and topping my long why-I-love-being-a-Filipino list is one sentiment I'm sure a lot of fellow Pinoys share with me: I love how Filipino food is arguably the best in the world.
