Tandag To Cebu Flight

Image
So! End of my Surigao Del Sur sojourn, and I was at the airport on time and in time for my flight to Cebu! Before entering the small airport though, I stood at this corner for my 'ceremonial' last stick! I'll agree if you say it looks like one or many domestic airports in the country. That's their usual style. Same position, I just had to turn a little.., and I had my final glimpse at the Tandag City Hall! I'm not sure if there is any existing or foreseeable significance (or advantage?), but I was amazaed to find here, that the city hall is right across the air terminal! Is this a first in the Philippines? Well, maybe. I was not done gazing at the city hall when I heard the sound of a plane passing above me.., No doubt the Cebu Pacific plane from Cebu. And I saw porters / drivers hastening to their positions. I went inside na, as this is a small plane where after disembarkation, boarding immediately follows! That door farther to the end, that has 'some'

Villa Maria Luisa, Tandag

This is a hotel/resort - one of the, if not THE best and biggest in Tandag. As said in my previous posts, I was to meet up at this place with lovely bungisngis people who I have not seen in a while, for a quick semi-official (conceptualization, planning) and non-official (kumustahan, alaskahan) kind of meeting! Anyway, I took a trike from the capitol area (where I got off the V-Hire from Bislig ) to this resort/hotel. Uhuh, di man lang ako sinundo ng mga pangit na ka-meeting ko, when all three of them each came in their own vehicles. This place is not at city center (it's nearer to the airport), but easy to find as it is by the national highway, not to mention that it's a prominent event venue (therefore known to all who live in Tandag), plus, I have already seen it while on board a tricycle from the airport to Balilahan terminal . I arrived with the tricycle entering this gate that looked like an exit, instead of over at that other end! And he wanted to let me off right at

Bislig To Tandag Commute

Image
Homeward bound! This was my return trip from Bislig to Tandag, for my return flight to Cebu where I needed to stay overnight, and from there catch my return flight to Tacloban! Not exhausting.., Exciting! Oh, I had to leave veery early in the morning, so I can attend a previously arranged meeting with some beautiful lovely crazy folks in Tandag, before I could go to the airport with a departure time of 1:35PM! At 5:06AM, I took this photo of Casa de Babano 's gate as I waited for the commuter van (V-Hire) The night before (which was few hours ago, actually), Casa De Babano staff told me they arranged for the driver to fetch me at 5AM. This was to be a regular commuter van full of passengers but yes I was 'special' this time! Seats 1 and 2 were reserved for me (just like I always do with VS Grand Tours). Yea! Did I ride a V-Hire? Yes since I've done the bus on my way to this place from Tandag, remember? I was not anymore that excited to see things along the way, si
