“This is a local chain of Italian restaurants with good food at decent prices. Generally Cebu offers greater value than Manila restaurants and 2nd generation Europeans greatly add to the local food culture. It has a branch on Mt Busay 15 min from the city, but with 2100 feet view over the city. Service there is not as good as in the city, but who cares? The view is great and the food is just as good. The branch near the airport has good service and great ambiance. Pastas (bolognaise, pesto) are great values.”

They serve authentic Italian foods and have an ambience of breezy air while you eat and a magnificent view of Cebu City. Enjoy your graduation and good luck to all the graduates.

South beaches are always very relaxing and it provides you a relaxing day at the beach. So I did some research and found a simple yet tempting resort at Alegria.

The town is also proud of its rich seabed perfect for snorkeling and diving. Baton Malunhaw Beach Resort is a development undertaken by the Municipality of Alegria, Cebu.  It is located in Sangi, Alegria Cebu (10~15 minutes away from Kawasan Falls).

The resort which is developed and maintained by the Municipality of Alegria is very affordable which has a P40/head entrance fee.

The resort also has swimming pool for those who are not very fond of the beach.Aside from the resort, you can also enjoy the Canlaob Spring which has a very cooling sensation to those who are suffering from the scorching heat of the summer.

Hundreds of people hoped that no tsunami will happen in the country. It was announced that the said tsunami will hit the Philippines at 1-2.:30 p.m. on Sunday.

“The estimated arrival time of the first tsunami waves is between 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM (Philippine Time) on 28 February 2010 (Sunday afternoon),” the Phivolcs said in its 11:30 pm bulletin posted on Saturday.

Dr. Renato Solidum, director of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), told radio dzMM early Sunday that alert level 1 was still up over the eastern coast of the Philippines.

He said Phivolcs is not yet recommending an evacuation of eastern coastal communities since they have not yet established how high the tsunamis will be.

As of posting time, he said the tsunamis that have hit some parts of Chile were only 1 to 2 meters high.

Although a lot have been on alert, The Phivolcs director informed the public that is standard operating procedure that when there’s a big earthquake that could bring tsunami to us, they issue Alert Level 1 to advise the public. They only order evacuation when we raise Alert Level No. 3.

Through prayers and miracles we do hope that no said tsunami will hit our country.

Back in High School, Cebu Wetland was merely a place for people to visit to go boating and fishing. That’s about it. Today, Cebu Wetland has become a resort with 20 new rooms and a pool. You could also have a quiet dinner at their restaurant which is surrounded by water and live fishes.

Located in highway Tagonol, the resort has a swimming pool and a manmade fishpond with tilapia and catfish that visitors can catch. Visitors can also do so from the edge of the pond or from the three floating restaurants that jut out to the pond, or better still, from a pedal-paddle boat crafted by the resort owner, Engr. Julito Roden. Wetland has five of these pedal-paddle boats, which move around the pond by pedaling, or by paddling, or both.

Wetland is a dream being realized by Engr. Roden. When he was 16, he came to Cebu—he is from Southern Leyte—to continue his studies in the big city. He has been here since then, finishing mechanical engineering and landing in second place in the board exam in 1963. He also took up electrical engineering and passed the board, third place, in 1969.

the place has attracted visitors and has been catering to parties: baptismal, birthdays, and clan reunions. The place, open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., is crowded on weekends when, to further entertain its guests, the Synapse band plays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m

There is no entrance fee. If you want, you can avail their boat rides for only P 50.oo which is already unlimited. The pool’s usage is P 100.00.
