Sohoton Cave Tour

Image
After more than two weeks (19 days to be exact), I was back in the area, this time not just passing by the cave system on my way to anywhere, but really visiting to tour the cave/s with balikbayan friends! Let me do some qualifiers first. In this story, I prefer to call it as "Sohoton Cave" (singular), contrary to how it is referred to by the authorities (as Sohoton Caves). Why and how is that? I know this is a wide "cave system" with many openings located at various locations, but as visitors/tourists, you may only enter via one and only one designated entrance/exit place. To avoid confusion let me call it "a cave" in reference to the single "cave system" that it is. Even if this is usually called "Sohoton Caves" by many! Let's go! After registration , briefing and wearing of life vests, we walked down to the boat boarding area.., I thought the life vests were "cumbersome" hehe. On my trip to Mabini , I was not ask...

Beware of JAM / Tritran Bus

Readers should all be aware of this when going to Puerto Galera or any of the destinations en route to Batangas City! There is an anomaly that the bus company (or probably just their employees and without the management’s knowledge) has been perpetrating. Last February 25, 2005, being a holiday, I, together with three of my friends decided to go to Puerto Galera for a much needed weekend break. We decided to take a JAM/Tritran bus by reason of its station being conveniently located at EDSA near Kamuning which happens to be nearest our residences. This decision to take Tritran ruined our weekend! We were at the bus station as early as 5:30AM so we can take the 6AM trip. We happily rode on bus number 727, a yellow JAM liner. The aircon was great – even too cold and the bus was clean. It got readily full to capacity so we left by just about 5 minutes past 6AM. Upon departure, the “conduktor” distributed tickets without asking for our money yet. After he has given tickets to everyone, he c...

The "EsRide" or 'Easy Ride'

Image
This was one of my nicest encounters during this Dumaguete visit. I got a chance to chat with one of the drivers of those ubiquitous “easy rides”. These were a group that plied the route to Dauin. What is an easy ride? Well, it is supposed to be the jeep that we all know. However, it has since been commonly referred to as “easy ride” when the vehicles used became the “multicabs”. Hey, before we proceed any further, take note that many of the common folks in Dumaguete pronounce it “EsRide” (es-ryed) as one word two syllables! I asked the manong driver why it’s called “easy ride” or “esride”. He does not specifically know. He just knows that it is now called so and times ago were referred to as “multicab”. I jokingly asked why “multicab” since there is only one “cab” hehe. The response was an equally jolly “I don’t know with Norkis why they used that name” and we laughed. The “esrides” lining up at the back of the bell tower are bound for Dauin. It takes only 15 to 20 minutes to re...
