One of the best day tours from Manila is the trip to the Pagsanjan Falls, or officially the Magdapio Falls. A 318-ft (97 meters) high waterfalls located at the town of Cavinti, it takes about 2.5 – 3 hours from Manila owing of traffic and narrow lanes, going past small […]
The trip to Phillippines was part of my annual offsite from office. The team had planned a 7-day trip to the island country in South-East Asia covering all the major tourist attractions and a fair bit of team outing. Made up of thousands of islands, not all of which are […]
