Trip To Puerto Galera

I had an emergency trip to Puerto Galera last week i havent been there in 2 years so i was so excited about it. my friend ela went there first then i follow on sunday morning. there are lot of changes starting from the port its more organize now not to mention the x-ray machine they have a very convenient way to check out luggage and no more unauthorized people inside the port asking you to do this,do that can i bring this etc etc. the only hassle i experience was when i rode this boat to white beach, i arrive at the Batangas port at 11 am and most of the boat are already leaving next trip will be 11:15 to 11:30 i was so excited and i don't feel like staying at the port for a about 15 mins so i decided to take the 11 am trip with this Father n Son Lines and i tell you its a waste of time the trip was supposed to be less or at least an hour but mine was an exhausting 2 and half hours. they didn't tell us that they are not going directly to white beach instead they will dock first to the port of Muelle then transfer you on another boat that will bring you to white Beach. i was having BF the moment i transfer to the next boat going to white beach then it all gone when i saw the beautiful island again. i arrive at around 1pm then went straight ahead to the VM Resort next to White Beach Resort its 2 of the best place to stay in the island. after eating our lunch what else to do but hit the crystal clear water of white beach. we are feeling kinda sporty that afternoon so we decided to do the banana boat and we did have fun. after the banana boat and swimming went back to our room took a nap and prepare for the evening. i wake up at around 6 pm went to the internet cafe then hit the bar for some warm up drinks. then cameback to the room and ask ela and the gang if they want to eat dinner. after dinner its party time. im telling you guys Puerto Galera is one of the best place to party in the Philippines the party was just nonstop not to mention the funny ladyboys entertainers and delicious drinks. such as mindoro sling and ware house. i woke up at around 9 hit the beach then we are on our way home at around 1 pm. yes its a very short trip but i really have a goodtime like i had in the past.

Travel News: 4.17B Panglao Airport Project

The National Economic and Development Authority Board has approved a P4.17-billion project to build an airport in Panglao, Bohol.

In a statement released Thursday, NEDA said the airport supports the government's thrust to make Central Philippines a major tourist destination.

"The Panglao Airport Development Project... envisions opening up Central Visayas to more economic activities as well as enhancing the tourism potential of Bohol," NEDA said.

"This is expected to reduce travel time and cost of transporting goods and people. The project will also serve as a gateway for major tourist destinations in Bohol from other parts of the country and abroad," it added.

The proposed airport will be built on 216 hectares of land approximately 15 kilometers from Tagbilaran City, and will have a runway of 2,500 meters by 45 meters and passenger and cargo terminal buildings.

The project will be funded wholly by government funds from the Manila International Airport Authority, the Department of Transportation and Communication and some of its attached agencies, and the Department of Tourism. It will be jointly implemented by the DOTC and the MIAA.

The project is expected to start July this year and finish by April 2010
