PAROLA in Liloan Cebu (also known as Bagacay Point Lighthouse)

(History naman paminsan minsan)

This lighthouse is located in the North part of Cebu which is Brgy. Catarman, Liloan. If you are going to ride a jeepney or a bus it’ll take an hour or so because of the heavy traffic. But if you have a motorbike then it’ll take you like 30 minutes (depends on your speed).

From Cebu City you have to take the Cebu North Road (Central Nautical Highway) and locate the Liloan Municipal Hall. You can ask the people there and they’ll give you directions with a smile (if you wanna make sure). So, from municipal hall you take the right turn and just drive all the way to Petron Station. From there, you take left then go straight to Amara Subdivision (but of course, you don’t need to go inside the subdivision). Just go straight and you’ll see the lighthouse 2km before the destination.

Went there on a weekend and in the area, there are kids playing. Some went from swimming and some were dating. There’s nothing much about the place aside from the rich history of the lighthouse which was built for over a hundred years. Until now, it serves as guiding light to mariners.

Sirao Flower Farm in Busay Cebu Philippines

Wanna go there? 
If you have a private vehicle, you can start looking where JY Square Lahug is then you go up to Marco Polo Hotel and just drive all the way to Canada drive where you are going to make a right turn to Sirao (your landmark before the Canada drive is the Ayala Heights). After making a right turn, you’ll be in a wide road going up and on your left side you’ll see a police station. Just go straight, follow the road and you’ll see a lot of colorful flowers. By the way, you don’t need to worry about directions – there are lots of signs/placards/streamers posted on the road sides. And oh, there’s a 20 pesos entrance fee to the flower farm (updated February 2016).
If you don’t have a vehicle, again, you go to JY Square Lahug then you’ll see a lot of habal – habal (motorcycle). The fare would be 60 pesos from JY Square to Sirao Flower Farm. If you’re planning for a round trip then that will cost you 200 pesos. 
Sirao flower farm is not available the whole year round since celosia blossoms only up to 8 – 10 weeks. So, hurry! Grab your cameras and take a selfie ;)
