About
About the Author
My name is Estan Cabigas and I am an avid traveler. My ethnicity is a mixture of Filipino, Chinese and a minority, the Subanen tribe of Western Mindanao. I call Cebu as my permanent home, studied in Manila, worked in the cities of Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Davao and Makati, the Philippines. An inveterate traveler, I have gone to the northernmost islands of Batanes, the southern corridor of Tawitawi and islands and forlorn places in between. I have also forayed in Asian countries as well.
I enjoy the freedom that going to places entails, both the trip itself and the destination, reveling in the many things that the act of travel offers: the sounds, the sights, the people and the flavors. I’m more into going off the beaten path but am equally comfortable in tourist traps too.
I have traded the comforts of the corporate life to pursue my interests. Right now, I’m a freelance photographer based in Makati City, the Philippines. I am also a blogger, movie fanatic, beetle collector and religious colonial architecture enthusiast.
Other than this blog, I have my other online presence.
- Estan Cabigas Photography is my portfolio as a photographer
- Rough Groove is my blog on anything
- Binary Silver is the photoblog and other photography related postings
- Simbahan is devoted to religious colonial architecture
- Salagubang is the one and only blog on Philippine Coleoptera (beetles)
- Flickr

About the blog
Langyaw is Cebuano* for an outsider, a foreigner in a local place. It also means a visitor, or more, a traveler.
Travel is a discovery not only of a place and what it has to offer but is also a discovery of oneself. Here in Langyaw I will focus on my travels and experiences usually around the country and some forays abroad.

*Cebuano is the second most widely used Philippine language and is predominantly spoken in the Visayas and Mindanao.

Estan, pls find time to visit Dumaguete. It’s a university town. The culture and character are different. The moment you’ll leave the place, you will be haunted to come back . . .
Hi, Estan. Thanx for dropping by in my humble travelogue.
You’re obviously an “A” at Lakbayan. You traveled a lot.
Your site is interesting. Given much time online, I will stay here in your site more often…
Sige, ayo-ayo…
Estan, I noticed from your lakbayan map that you did not visited Basilan yet. you might one day decide to go there. sama mo ako.
Dong, I’m already setting my sights on Basilan. I have an unused Zambo ticket which I can just book whenever I will decide to go there
