The Tale of a Scaredy Cat in Malabuyoc Cebu

Imahe
I really thought Malabuyoc was just a vast plantation. Because every time I visit my father's hometown, Barili,    all I could see was a limitless green in the horizon. One weekending vacation last November 2014,  I joined my co-SSC leaders' team building activity (sort of). Since we are both fascinated with springs and waterfalls, we planned to have Malabuyoc as one of our itinerary. It's there we can find an untouched, undiscovered spring and falls. From Badian Church (drop-off point of Kawasan Falls), we drove to a long road with nothing but lush surroundings and shorelines. Uphill. Downhill.

Eventually, later on the tour guide told us that the mainit spring was act...

Since I was in college, I always wanted to visit some bigger islands here in Cebu. Human combustion isn’t real. At least, that’s what my science professors in college and high school said. Yet, somehow, I felt like I was on the verge of bursting into flames as the dry season was about to officially kickoff.
