The one above is Minglanilla church which i enjoyed (yes enjoyed!) getting up at 3am on the [...]

We already own a Scooter in Cebu, but due to having a young child it limits days out due to having to hire a bigger vehicle. Realising that having a “nice car” here is like throwing money on a fire for many reasons. The climate makes things rust at a very high rate. Vehicle theft [...]
