Basamanggas Resort and Restaurant
Basamanggas for the unoriented is a resort in Jasaan, a sleepy town in the northern portion of Mindanao in the Philippine archipelago. The locals pronounce the place as “hasaan” where you simply glide the two a’s. But Westerners which by the way abound pronounce it as “hasa-an.” Weird huh?
There are many Westerners who troop to Basamanggas because it is located in a tropical place and its amenities there can compete with other tropical places in the world such as Phuket in Thailand. This is a resort waiting to be discovered by movie producers. It is ideal for dates especially on a clear moonless night. Of course, there are always two lifeguards on duty but if you want to have some adventure, then go for it by all means. After all, the purpose of going to a resort is to relax, right? So enjoy the moments in Basamanggas while you are there. The cottage rates are very affordable indeed and there are both closed and open-types of cottages available.

Malaysia: Truly Asia
EVER since the movie Entrapment came out in 1997, Kuala Lumpur’s Petronas towers became a byword in those days all over the world. True, it was the tallest building on Earth at the time and in those pre-9/11 days, marveling at such an architectural masterpiece was awesome. But the height of the Petronas Towers were not the bulk of people’s curiosity at the time. It was on how actors Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones managed to precariously hold on to the tight bridge connecting the towers at 57 stories high. When Petronas Towers was overtaken by a Canadian structure and later by a Taipei building and now the Burj al-Arab in Dubai as the world’s tallest building, the byword slowly faded. But not the tourists coming in. They still come in groves to Malaysia which has been modernized by the then visionary Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad.
Because of Mahathir’s visions, Malaysia has been at the forefront of tourism in Southeast Asia for the past decade or so. Its tagline is Malaysia – Truly Asia. It has a mix Malay and Chinese culture and that in itself is a tourist attraction – the various races that are peopling Malaysia.

Bohol Island
IF there is one thing that I like about Bohol, it’s the Loboc river since it is said to be the most romantic place in the area. This is where lovers converge from time immemorial. We perhaps hear of grandparents dating on the same river the way their children and grandchildren date now. Was skinny dipping a trend back then? That we don’t know.
Bohol can be accessed via ferries from the nearby larger island of Cebu. No, there are no majestic shopping malls in Bohol but tourists floch here exactly to be in a serene area where there is nothing except bikinis and babes. No, there is no nudist beach here. Filipinas are perfectly wholesome women. That’s what makes us one of the most adored creatures here on earth. Bohol is smacked right in the middle of the tropical archipelago that is the Philippines.
Another landmark in Bohol is the Chocolate Hills which turns golden brown during the rainy season. These terraces have been built way before the Spanish times and their ancestors are now the caretakers of this amazing manmade creation. So if you are in the Philippines, try to visit and lay back in Bohol. It is one of the most leisure vacations you’ll have.
