#LibotPinas Visayas Series: Phototrip in Siquijor

My recent trip to Siquijor was not on my plan since I have 2 upcoming leisure and business travels scheduled for this year.  But I’m so lucky ‘coz I had this trip almost for free from La Salle University!  As I can remember, me and my JCI-Ozamiz Red Rose titas planned for a Siquijor weekend excursion some 5 years ago.  However, due to differences in our hectic schedules, we haven’t pushed through.  So when my colleague texted me that we’re going to have our PEP at this mystic island, I instantly said “G” to have my munting hiling come true!

Siquijor or Isla del Fuego is a bit larger than Camiguin here in Mindanao.  If you wanna take a trip to Camiguin, you make look it up here.  Same as this outing, that was also our PEP with the Math and Science Department  3 years ago.  But this time, our Siquijor trip with the Senior High Department was more enjoyable and memorable ‘coz we were a big group of 34 and most are sassy millennials!  Then my back started aching and I felt napag-iiwanan but I’m glad for the amegas and the fetches‘ very warm accommodation and support.  With that said, we managed to compile some great photos for all the stops we had at Siquijor for only 22 hours!

Thank you so much, Lycée St. Jean-Baptiste de La Salle for the 1.5 year I spent with you! 🙂  Aminin na natin, I really didn’t bond with you, guys ‘coz I was having an I-don’t-like-to-become-a-senior-high-teacher attitude the whole time I stayed in SHS.  But this escapade is sure a memorable one and writing this blog is the most time-consuming I ever had ‘coz I’m like a stalker searching for the best photos in all the stops we had at Siquijor!  I’m sorry for the others who haven’t got solo exposure here ‘coz you haven’t posted your best shot on FB.  And to cap this all off, I really enjoyed this trip especially when we got held up at the middle of the Philippine Sea!  So stay tuned tomorrow to find out what happened to our journey in Bais, Negros Oriental!  #tosomtravels

Written by Mae Olandesca

Mary Rosalie Olandesca, a lover of the arts, humanities, and social sciences, found herself entangled in the realm of applied science and engineering, a path that didn't align with her true passions. Determined to break free from her "chemical engineer" title in the Philippines, she embarked on a brave journey to Toronto, fitting her life in only two suitcases. Despite completing her Chemical Laboratory Technician program at Seneca Polytechnic just recently, she realized that the chemical world failed to ignite her heart. A momentous realization led her to embrace her true calling as a writer, with a Creative Writing course acting as the catalyst for her long-time passion in wordsmithing. Thus emerged the extraordinary persona of Mae, the other side of her multifaceted identity.
