Silangang Nayon Park & Restaurant is a tucked inside the town of Pagbilao in Quezon province. Located about 8 kilometers away from the main road, the winding road that leads to Silangang Nayon intrigues a first time visitor as to what possible gem of a destination could be waiting at the end of this seemingly remote location. Finally, the Silangang Nayon Park and Restaurant revealed itself – a grand yet relaxed destination based on native and nature themes – serving fresh food, fresh country breeze, and fantastic sights.
Pagbilao town is 30 minutes away from Lucena City. We did not see much of Pagbilao but apparently it is a 1st class municipality. The Pagbilao Power Plant is noted to be the largest power plant stations (Wikipedia) in the country – true enough, at night – the Pagbilao power plant against the dark black sky evoked a sci-fi scene not unlike those shown on X-files and similar movies.

Not that kind of virginity, haha. I thought I’d just make this a typical blog post since don’t know how to write tourist-y articles anyway.
I was a Boracay virgin, one of the millions of Filipinos and Filipinas who haven’t been to Boracay yet. So, I decided enough of the Boracay virginity and give in to the temptation – finally, after all these years of trying and waiting – there I was basking on the famed powdery white sand of Boracay island’s White Beach. From the moment I stepped out to the shore – it took just one glimpse at the picturesque seascape to understand why Boracay is such a fabled and beloved destination for lots of people around the world.

Not everyone loves the crocodile, yes, but almost everyone wants to see a crocodile. Crocodiles are feared and portrayed frequently in the movies and books as predators. Such carnivorous nature however plays an important part in keeping the balance of nature. This is reason enough why the whole world should bother to care about the crocs and alligators’ extinction.
There are several places in the country with crocodile farms but so far the more famous that I have come across is what used to be known as the Crocodile Farming Institute in Puerto Princesa City, now the Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center (PWRCC).

Nestled atop a portion of land overlooking the man-made Caliraya Lake in Lumban, Laguna is an idyllic and pristine piece of property that offers more than the amenities of a usual retreat house. For one thing, Caliraya Re-Creation Center chooses an in-design of fairly humble innovations for rest and relaxation. For another, the resort gives off a melancholic and quiet feel that has guests getting easily in tune with nature and with God.
Just by the name itself, the seven-hectare, three-floor resort is already a unique and exceptional place to stay in. After all, people who come in with several luggage and baggage on their shoulders come out refreshed and relaxed without the unnecessary load – that is, in essence, the beauty of staying here and shutting, even for just awhile, the noise and the pollution in the metropolis.
