Travel history: Early 2008 – 3Q 2008
It’s time to update my travel history according to Lakbayan!
A short sojourn in Masbate while passing through Ticao on my way home to Cebu and a few days stay in Naujan, Mindoro Oriental finally made a difference in the map. From A-, I’m now an A traveler!
Travel history: Late 2007 – early 2008
I am updating my travel map as there are new destinations that I have visited. When I did the Luzon – Visayas loop via land and sea, I was able to visit for the first time the Panay provinces of Capiz and Aklan. I’m not a beach person but, thank God, due to some roro schedule foul ups, I forayed in Boracay for just an hour, another first. From Caticlan, I then docked at Roxas in Mindoro Oriental
Travel history: Makati 2005 – present
It seems that I cannot stay long in a particular place. I’m always moving and in my 9 years of being a telecoms engineer, I have worked in Cebu, Davao, Cagayan de Oro and then in Makati. My transfers were either voluntary or offered to me and I always say yes, always seeing that there’s something new for me. With my Makati stint, I didn’t realize that this change would be too great.
Travel history: Mindanao 2000 – 2004
I’m tracing my travel history from 1974 up to the present. This post is 4th of 5 in the series.
I just can’t explain it. But it seems I cannot just keep put in Cebu. After three years working in my home province, I felt that I need to move out again. When the mobile switch in the telecoms company that I worked in opened in Davao, I was the first one to be assigned there as I volunteered. Nevermind if I don’t have family there. I thought, if I made it in Manila for five years without the next of kin then there was no difference with Davao.
In my four years in Mindanao, I spent half and half in Davao and Cagayan de Oro cities
- Except for places beyond Tigbao in Zamboanga del Sur and Basilan, I have visited each and every province either for work or liesure.
- I made my first and only visit to Siargao and Bucas Grande
- no longer collecting butterflies, I switched to collecting beetles and often frequented Lake Sebu in South Cotabato, Davao del Norte, Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon where I had contacts
Being based in Mindanao did not hinder me in going out to more far and remote places:
Travel history: Cebu 1997 – 2000
I’m tracing my travel history from 1974 up to the present. This post is 3rd of 5 in the series.
After graduating in college, I went back to Cebu and found work in a telecoms company. The beauty of it? It again afforded me to travel to places that I haven’t gone to or even imagined of going to!
As I was a field engineer, my area was Central and Eastern Visayas but was later on expanded to cover the whole of Visayas and Mindanao:
- I have often been to Bohol and the Camotes Islands
- I was frequenting Ormoc and Tacloban and a brief visit to the south in Leyte
- Southern Negros was another place that I was visiting time and again
When my area was expanded to include Mindanao:
