Robinsons Dumaguete

After the long wait, Robinson Dumaguete has finally opened its wall to the public. It has a wide area of different stores, tianges, restaurant, entertainment and more. The Roninsons Land has been planning for their operation for quite some time, and released the opening will be midyear of 2009. I’m really excited to visit Dumaguete again and see the wonders of the different version of Robinsons.

This two-level shopping mall development is centrally located along Dumaguete South Road, a busy intersection where commercial establishments are presently proliferating. Schools, public transport terminals, call centers among others are situated nearby, while travel time is a five to 10 minute drive from popular city landmarks Rizal Boulevard, Silliman University, St. Paul’s University, the Provincial Hospital to mention a few.

Local retailers as well as popular store chain operators are expected to open alongside Robinsons Department Store, Robinsons Supermarket, Handyman Do It Center, Robinsons Appliances, Toys R Us, and Robinsons Movie world. Robinsons Dumaguete, Robinsons Malls’ 20th shopping mall, will also have an al fresco dining area, a kids’ section, health and beauty outlets, service and IT outlets, a drug store, quick serve restaurants, and a bookstore.

There’s actually so much to do in Robinsons Dumaguete since its quite huge compared to the Robinsons in Cebu. Robinson is also entertaining queries for the project, or those who are interested in putting up a store in the mall.

Interested parties can call 683-6100, locals 179, and 816 or (034) 441-1842. For further information, log on to Robinsons Land Corporation Official Website for more information.

Boracay

Boracay is famously known as the best white beach in the country. I would like to disapprove sometimes. Still, Boracay holds on of the high relates of tourist to visit the island. There are several things you can do upon reaching to Boracay. Aside from the obvious of the beach, the night life is also surreal. It has different bars, and restaurant which caters anyone who would like to taste the.  Most of them are owned by foreigner. They also have goods, or “pasalubong” sections wherein you can buy them to remind you of Boracay. Some people are even fond of getting henna upon visiting the site, or getting their hair braid.

In 2007, Boracay Island topped the list of the World’s Most Popular Beach according to Yahoo! Travel.

Boracay is an island of the Philippines located approximately 315km (200 miles) south of Manila and 2km off the northwest tip of the island of Panay in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. In 1990, it was voted by the BMW Tropical Beach Handbook as one of the best beaches in the world and again in 1996 by British publication TV Quick as the world’s number one tropical beach.

Story also said that Boracay, was a well-guarded secret, almost possessively so that only a few knew of its existence. It was only in the 70s when, it is said, a foreign movie crew accidentally “discovered” this island paradise. Others maintain that it was the German traveler, ‘Jens Peters’ book, which included rave reviews of Boracay that changed the island’s pace from that of being a quiet secret to eventually being voted as having the best beach in the world. Although some of this stories might not be true, bt still, its good to know.

There are also lists of the resorts you can stay, and right now there are different promo’s to choose from on having a 3 day break. To summarize it all, Boracay is still one of the best beaches in the country and contine
