Let me share with you my unforgettable trip to Badian, Cebu! Just to give you a brief backgound, I am in this group called Let's Do It! Philippines. It's an NGO that advocates for a zero-waste planet. I was one of the 100 regional leaders chosen and I am representing my province, Pampanga. Thanks to Darby, by the way, for inviting me to join!

Let's Do It! Philippines sponsored a 2-day boot camp in Badian, Cebu. We stayed in paradise errr in Terra Manna, a resort in Badian that offers camping experience (tents, huts..) as accommodations. Guess what? It was actually a fun experience, not to mention the cool people I made friends with!

On my first day in Cebu, we stayed in Sugbutel, a dorm-type inn in Cebu City. For about 300 pesos, you get a small capsule enough to fit yourself in and your backpack. There's a common shower and toilet area too. Not bad.

While in Cebu City, of course, we visited (I'll never get tired of seeing these places) Sto. Nino de Cebu Church, Magellan's Cross, tried CnT Lechon for the first time, and strolled around the Osmeña area.

By afternoon, it's time to leave for Badian. We took the bus at Cebu South Station at around 3PM, and by dinner time, we're already at Terra Manna. Badian is roughly about 3-4 hours by land from Cebu City.

On our last day in Badian, we went to Kawasan Falls. A stunning waterfall that boasts of clear blue waters as if you're in a swimming pool! For about 300 pesos, you can ride the raft and they'll take you inside the outer mouth of the cave where the waterfall falls. It was such a nice experience to wrap up this Cebu trip.
