[3] "Go to Mindoro to meet the Mangyans and photograph their man-made refrigerator! (See for yourself na lang how they make their refs and where they place it!" - Beth- sounds really intriguing on how they actually do that. Mindoro is on my list to visit this year and let me see if i get the knack of finding that improvised refrigerator when i get there.
[2] "Off the beaten path, somewhere in Anda in the province of Bohol are remnants of a long forgotten history- hanging coffins. Several hematite paintings could be seen on the wall of the cave where the remnants are. Facing the Mindanao Sea, could they be ritual symbols for the long voyage?" - Edik
- first time to know about hanging coffins in Bohol apart from the ones that i've seen in Sagada. the Hematite paintings in the caves are very interesting.
[1] "Climb Mt. Napulak (Igbaras, Iloilo) and see the world's largest flower - the Rafflesia a.k.a "corpse flower". It would be a challenge as rafflesia is rare and a little hard to located as it only last for a few days. :) The view is also beautiful. Just go and discover what Igbaras has to offer, as they have many falls and caves that are yet to be discovered by the public." - Audrey
- i remember seeing this plant featured on a tv show and with your entry, it led me to research more about it. with the fact that this plant is rare and so unique this gives me the challenge of actually seeing it myself.
congratulations to Audrey who's going to get the Lonely Planet Philippines travel guide book and to Edik and Beth who gets to receive the latest issue of Lonely Planet Philippines magazine.email me at i.dongho@gmail.com on how to claim your prize. i wanted to thank all those who participated and submitted their entries of which some i actually considered doing this year including the swimming with the whale sharks (Nina), trekking the Akiki trail of Mt. Pulag (Archie) and visiting the islands of Siargao (Charmaigne).

sarap mo naman as in ingit ako kasi you travel a lot kashit sa Pinas lang.
madami ka pa bang di napuntahan dito sa Philippines?
You need at least 3 days to go to Mt. Napulak. There's only 2 motor cycle drivers that dares to go to Igcabugao,Igbaras, kse mahirap ang daan,I have their contact#. But it's worth it. May mga cave din dun. I went back to Igbaras for the black pencil project last November.
Congrats to Audrey! :)

Dami mo na namang pupuntahan Doming. Lakwatsero ka talaga ingat to all your travels....And may The LORD be with you in all of you journey.. read Psalm 121 the travelers verse..;)
