hi guys, id like to share my snaps of Cebu, Philippines. This is one of the tourists spots here so im sure you'll love to know more about this place. will be updating this once in awhile as i tour this excellent and awesome place! cheers!:clap

Stunning Sunset awaits at Moalboal, Cebu
Defined as the Diving Paradise of Cebu it is bounded on the North of the Municipality of Alcantara, roughly around 135km away from the city. We went there to relax, enjoy the sand and see the grand sunset it is also famous of. “Lingaw kaayo” means so much fun” and the group definitely had a blast along with the good food and swabe drinks!


“Legend states that a Spaniard was walking around the place and met a town folk near a bubbling underground spring. The Spaniard asked the folk in Spanish as to the name of the place. The folk unable to perceive the Spanish language answered “bocal bocal” for he discerned that the Spaniard was asking about the bubbling spring. Bocal-bocal was a tongue twister to the Spaniard hence Moalboal.” CC ARE ALWAYS WELCOME

    200" Experience in Udlot, Bogo
    I wanted to take pictures of places one don't usually see or hear. At least for me, this gives a feeling of a new beginning... a fresh start. At first Landscape photography became a hobby then a passion because after a busy day at work this drives me to do better. Cebu is the perfect place for me to explore!

    With that in mind Let me present to you Udlot,Bogo. Situated north of Cebu, 220km (roundtrip) away from the city. Excellent beaches and pristine clear waters. Hoping my pictures could preserve the beauty and cleanliness of this place.

    Great shots Gorio! Thanks for showing the beauty of our home country. I lived in the Philippines until I was 9 years old and I have some relatives who live in Davao/Cebu.

    It's been over 10 years since I last went back. But this is the next best thing.

    I think the mono one is nice but the colors these shots are wonderful--I'm not sure you want to hide them.
