Pick-a-Fest

Why do you want to experience and join the
LANZONES FESTIVAL
in Camiguin Island

"Have you been to Camiguin?"

That's the question friends ask every time I'm in Cagayan de Oro to visit my Girlfriend. "You should go there; nice place, beautiful beaches and of course! The lanzones there are so sweet" they added even before I answer "no" to their question.

Yes, I admit that I ha vent been to Camiguin. I do love too. If pictures can tell a thousand words, pictures of friends and love ones in Camiguin only tells me of one thing and that's "come here!". Going to Camiguin is always part of the plan but due to budget concerns going there is always a plan.

The Philippines is definitely a "festival" islands. Visiting or traveling in different Philippine destinations is good BUT visiting a place in time of a festival, it makes the travel more fun and exciting. It’s a great bargain. There is a festival in every month and Lanzones Festival is scheduled every last week of October. According to my friends, Lanzones or "buahan" is harvested every October thus the festival was set in October as a thanksgiving for the abundant harvest not only of buahan but of all products.

Legend says, the festival started from a couple who wished for a child from a fairy who guards a lanzones tree. When their wish was granted they became so happy and forgot give thanks to the fairy. One day, as the child was playing, an old lady approached the child and the child became ill. The parents realized their ungratefulness to the fairy and so they performed a ritual to please the fairy and to ask for the child healing. The fairy then granted the couple's wish and the child was healed. The couple asked town folks to be with them in thanksgiving and merriment and it became annual ritual thus the festival.

For what I heard of while I’m in Cagayan de Oro, the lanzones festival has: lots of sweet lanzones at a very low price, some folks even gave it away to some tourist and visitors; It also has beauty pageants, band concerts, street dancing and lots of food. The stories i gathered and heard are all inviting to experience it to be part of it. I want to be there to join the festivities to experience it for myself for the first time.

White sand, clear water beaches, hot and cold springs, seafood, piniato, hot choco from tablea with pastel on the side. um um um! stop dreaming and start saving up =))

Why do I love to experience and join the Lanzones Festival? I only have a simple reason and that is "to witness locals do their thanksgiving". All Fiestas and Festivals here in the Philippines are made to offer thanksgiving. Be it a patronal fiesta or on-season of local produce - just like the Lanzones festival. Locals have their own way of thanksgiving, be it in a dance, or in singing or offering ones harvest. I want to see how they perform their way of thanksgiving.

Furthermore, I want to join the lanzones festival by being the lensman. To capture all that I witness: the scenery, the happy faces and the fun that the festival is giving to both locals and tourist.

The Philippines is a festival islands all year round. Three (3) major festivals are celebrated for the month of October. There’s a lot of time to save and who knows we might experience MassKara Festival, Hermosa Festival and Lanzones Festival this October.

APX Rewards

Fly Free with AirPhilExpress Rewards

Have you heard in the news that theres this one guy who flown a million miles thus he was rewarded free tickets. I asked myself "how many miles that I've flown?" hmmmmm???? To date, I already flown for a total of 12 routes : Manila-Cebu; Dumaguete-Manila; and five times Manila-Cagayan de Oro-Manila.

Let's do a little math. If my source is correct, Manila to Cebu is 353 miles; Dumaguete-Manila is 396 miles and Manila-Cagayan de Oro is 490 miles. So 353 plus 396 plus (490 times 10) is equals to 5649. =)) I really need more money to become a Million Miler =))

Good thing there this "APX Rewards". We dont have to became a million miler to get free tickets. For every ten (10) domestic boarding passes, they will give us one way domestic ticket for free. For every ten (10) International Boarding passes they will be giving us one way international ticket. further more, we can exchange two (2) domestic boarding passes for one (1) international boarding pass and vice versa.

What we are waiting for, lets go fly with Airphilexpress and sooner or later we can have one free ticket. As for me, to this date, I already have two (2) boarding pass waiting for me, Eight more to go. Wow! thats a lot of life, love, travel and food, not to mention a lot of blog entries!

Litratong Pinoy # 132 : Pook (place / spot)

Laguindingan Airport

ang nasa litrato ay ang aerial shot ng Languindingan Airport nang akoy pa uwi na ng Maynila galing Cagayan de Oro noong Agusto 31 2010. Lagi akong umuupo sa "seat A" ng eroplano para makita ko lamang ang pook na ito. May kasiyahan hatid kasi sa akin ang makakita ng paliparan at iba pang tanawin kapag nasa ere.

ano na kaya ang nadag-dag sa paliparang ito? Napabalita kasi sa dyaryo(Manila Bulletin) noong martes (28 Dec 2010) na ang paliparang ito na nagkakahalaga ng 7.853 Bilyon piso ay nasa 72.74 porcentong tapos. Inaasahang matatpos ito sa Decembre ng 2011 at magbubukas sa publiko makaraan ng isang buwan. Nasulat din na ang paliparang ito ay nakatayo sa Laguindingan Moog Village na may kabuuong sukat na 4.17 sq.Km o mga 393 ektarya. Ito ay nasa gitna ng Iligan City at Cagayan de Oro City. Ito na ang Ika-apat na International Airport sa isla ng Mindanao kasunod ng Davao; Zamboanga at General Santos.

-personal na opinion-
Usap usapan ng mga lokal sa Cagayan de Oro kung ano ang sasapitin ng kaslukuyang paliparan ng Lumbia (sa Cagayan de Oro din). magyari kasi, may nabalitaan ako na bawal sa batas ang dalawang paliparan na magkalapit, gaya ng sinapit ng Bacolod City kung saan ang lumang paliparan sa sentro ng Bacolod ay sinara sa pagbubukas na ngayo'y "Bacolod-Silay International airport". kaya ang tanong ng karamihan, lalo na ako, paano nalang kung isasara ang kasalukuyang paliparan ng Lumbia at malilipat ang operation ng mga airlines sa Laguindingan. mangagailanag ng mga isang oras o 46 Km viaje papunta ng Cagayan de Oro. hasel diba :( oo nga't nasa gitna ito ng Iligan City at Cagayan de Oro kayat maraming makikinabang sa kanlurang bahagi pero ang Cagayan de Oro ang sentro ng kalakalan at turismo ng rehiyon. Sana magkaroon ng "win-win solution" sa usaping ito.

Maligayang huweBEST sa inyo mga ka-LP
