Long time ago in this place, there was a kind of tree ground which they called pisa. Everywhere this tree can be found which looked like in the Chavacano language “bongga”, but it is smaller in size.

So this place was named by the inhabitants after the word pisa. Later on, the ancestors changed the word to capisan, derived from the word pisa.

ourists Attractions of Limpapa, Zamboanga City

Much of the origin of Limpapa was settled by Subanos. The Subanos were chased away from the shoreline towns by the early Christian settlers and also by Datu Bantilan of Sulu. At that time, Limpapa was a safe haven for the Subanos.

There is a cave in Limpapa where some old inscription on the walls are still present. The Subanos did a lot of "kaignin" (cut and burn) style of farming. So they wandered around pretty much. Foot trails were carved out by the ancient Subanos, covering much of the entire length of the Zamboanga peninsula and became very useful to the guerrillas during the war.

Barangay Limapa is situated in the West Coast of Zamboanga City. It is the last Barangay and the boundary between Zamboanga City and Zamboanga del Norte.

Bangka Safari

Some beach resorts have "Bangka" boat which they offer to their guests. Bangka or boat can be rented per half day or full day. You can rent a Bangka beside Balingasay River which allows you to explore the clean river of Balingasay and trips to the Balingasay sanctuary (a marine protected area) to see the coral reefs and surrounding islands.

You can also rent a private Bangka in Luciente 1 port. Expect that Bangka in Luciente 1 are bigger than in Balingasay because they actually use it as means of transportation for the passengers going to Santiago Island. You can visit the surroundings of Santiago Islands and Silaqui Islands.

If you want to have a Bangka expedition and scuba diving session at the same time, we suggest going to UPMSI (University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute) located at Guiguiwanen, Luciente 1, Bolinao, Pangasinan. They will provide all your needs from tourist guides, suits and of course, the Bangka. Size of Bangka is depending upon your request. With a large group of people, it will require a bigger Banka to get to Luciente 1 port.

Snorkeling

Bolinao is surrounded by about 20 kilometers of coral-reef for you to explore and enjoy. Better bring your own snorkels to enjoy different species of fish and other marine organisms. Best locations for snorkeling are: Patar beach, Balingasay sanctuary, Ilog Malino beach, Silaqui Island shoreline, Santiago Island shoreline.

Fun Philippines

The $7.1 million grant to the Philippines by the CIDA is a big stepping stone for the tourism sector of the Philippines, which will help advance the quality of tourism. More than anything because Canada has shown the initiative to give the Philippines a grant, it is setting an example for other Western nations to look into countries in Asia especially when they have so much to offer and attract millions of tourists every year.

Virgin Beach Resort

The original trip was planned last month after I posted in my Facebook wall that Mr. Ron Perry invited me to spend my weekend at Virgin Beach Resort of Daanbantayan. In return I am going to feature his resort in this blog. Eunice and Richard wanted to join so they booked airline tickets going to Cebu on that day. Unfortunately, the trip wasn't pushed through due to my bucket list of works/activities and vacation in Manila. Not to disappoint the two plus one as they have already invited Zarah (long time friend ko na pla sa FB jejeje) , I decided to change the supposed to be North Cebu Trip to South Tip of Cebuplus Negros Oriental travel Get-away!

Tourism Beach

being dedicated to tourism roads, the Philippines plans to scale up the industry towards a goal post of 10 million overseas visitors by 2016, as outlined in the National Tourism Development Plan. Internal travelers will also be boosted largely in part due to increased wealth generated for a growing middle class through the BPO sector, with domestic tourists expected to hit 56.1 million by the same year. owever, on the intoxicatingly white-sand beach of Boracay, at the center of the Philippines’ tourism nexus of tropical islands, service standards have yet to meet the splendor the land intrinsically professes.

“We go to Thailand to receive superior service, not the Philippines,” a well-heeled Filipino recently told Inside Investor.

Green Sea

Canada’s agreement to transfer the grant to the Philippines sets a precedent that Western nations now feel more comfortable investing in the infrastructure-starved nation due to its recent reward by Fitch, a move which many Philippine observers believe will be followed by S&P and Moody’s in the near future.

Through time-consistency guarantees offered by the ADB, international investors can safeguard against corrupt practices and political change, the ADB informed Inside Investor, making the multinational bank an obvious choice for administering investments into developing Asian nations with poor regulatory bodies.

Philippines Beach

The Philippine tourism industry is to receive a multi-million dollar service-oriented jolt from the Canadian government, the first major foreign investment into the country after it received its first-ever investment-grade credit rating by Fitch on March 28.

The Canadian International Development Authority (CIDA), a developmental arm of the Canadian government that provides foreign aid, has announced that it will extend a $7.1 million grant in technical assistance, with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) acting as the administering agency. The signing ceremony for the grant is taking place on April 10 in Manila, with Director Shigeko Hattori of the ADB, Mr Luke Myers of CIDA, and Department of Tourism Secretary Ramon Jimenez, Jr in attendance.he grant will focus its funds on the development of industry competitiveness through three key outputs over the coming four years: regulatory review, service standards and skills development – all of which the industry will need to continue the path of international credibility it has gathered.

The Philippines in recent weeks has received awards and citations for its tourism destinations from global organisations and international magazines. At the top of April, Scuba Diving Magazine named the Philippines, along with Malaysia, the best diving destination in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. During the first week of March 2013, Boracay was named the Best Beach in Asia and 24^th in the world by Trip Advisor.

Palawan

Compared to Boracay’s four kilometers of sand, San Vicente’s 14 presents a curiously intoxicating charm for those wanting to discovery a placer a bit more unknown. However, San Vicente’s immense coastline has become the hottest commodity in the Philippine tourism industry at a time when Boracay is suffering from the negative affects of poor water management systems and over-commercialisation.

Sugar Beach

There can be no other beach as intrinsically endowed with the spirit of a Philippine castaway than Sugar Beach in Sipalay, Negros. With about four beach-bum bungalows run by Europeans of varying origin (though mostly German speaking), Sipalay is surely a place that is easy to get caught up in, quickly losing track of the days and weeks and months. To get to the island, a circuit of conveyances – ranging from trikes, buses and boats – have to be taken, eventually leading visitors around a cove that is lit at night by fireflies that cling onto mangroves. Such is the seclusion of the beach, that if you find yourself in a bout of rain, you will find that is it also impossible to get a coconut-based drink. Why, you may ask, only to get a nonchalant response from one of the weather-withered owners: “Coconut trees are too hard to climb if they are wet.”

The Attraction of Beach

Bauang is not a part of San Fernando, it is a town nearby San Fernando. The sand is not white, but it boasts fine grayish sand. The beach is ideal for swimming and kayaking on summer seasons. The beach is not as crowded but not on holyweek season. Resorts are situated along the 5 kilometer coast  beach is dirty. people should learn to dispose their own rubbish and the council should provide rubbis bins and educate people to throw their own rubbish at the right place not everywhere. what a shame

Lovely Beach

Before our trip to Pulau Perhentian we actually gone through lots of reviews and the conclusion is that PIR has the most beautiful beach but the worst food and not so idea accomodation, as we are more concern about the quality of the natural scene therefore we still choose to go to PIR. Surprisingly PIR has given me a very good impression in terms of their transfer and check-in arrangement especially their semi-suite chalet located just right in front of the beautiful beach. The rooms are clean and comfortable and with a fabulous view.

Though the snorkeling spot is not so nice compare to P. Redang but lucky we've got a very helpful and friendly boat man Azan and with his help we manage to spot and swim with a giant turtle.

Another adding point is that we can just snorkeling right in front of PIR, on the left side of PIR 10 meter away (Teluk Pauh), you can see plenty of corals, nemo (crowd fish) as well as sharks. And you can see giant turtles at the middle of the beach in front of PIR, where the sandy bottom is covered with algae.

crystal clear

Lagen Island is tucked in a cove set among lush tropical forest, limestone walls and a crystal clear lagoon. Many attractions are accessible from the island including natural wonders such as Cudugnon Cave and Snake Island. It is one of the beautiful islands that comprise El Nido, which is often referred to as the "Philippines' Last Frontier," and one of the top tourist destinations in the Philippines. 

The City of Seven Lakes

San Pablo City, located in the southern portion of Laguna province is nestled in the foothills of three mountains namely Mount Banahaw, Mount Makiling and the Sierra Madre Mountains. It is nicknamed the "City of Seven Lakes" because of the 7 crater lakes scattered around the city. These low-profile volcanic craters were formed by phreatomagmatic eruptions, an eruption where ground water comes in contact with hot magma pushing up near the Earth's surface. San Pablo City has a long history as far back as the pre-Spanish colonial period when it was officially declared as a town in 1647 by the Spanish governement. 

White Sand of Alona Beach

1. The powdered white sand of Alona Beach stretches one and a half kilometers and ends in rocky cliffs at both sides, offering views of its pristine waters. It is the most developed beach located southwest of Panglao Island in Bohol. Other than its scenic views, and being close to Bohol's tourist spots, the island boasts centuries-old churches, and is also a base for island hopping, dolphin watching, and diving.

Heaven Beach

The beach—you know this is your own personal take at haven. So do I. Being a self-confessed beach bum, I cannot let a summer pass without plunging into the sea, and the best part of it? Walking down the shore line, feet dipped in shallow, The beach—you know this is your own personal take at haven. So do I. Being a self-confessed beach bum, I cannot let a summer pass without plunging into the sea, and the best part of it? Walking down the shore line, feet dipped in shallow, moving waters, and the sunset—it’s superb.

Let it be known though that the same scene has been lifted off my memory from a chapter in my beach days in the Philippines; and I call it the place to be.

beach

The waves grew rougher when we left Cape Engano, and the dark clouds started to roll in. Most of us dozed off in the boat, and after what seemed to be 40 minutes, I heard our boatman telling us that we were approaching Anguib Beach.
