A Day in Tagum City

Tagum City is just about an hour's ride from Davao. I did use my student identification card to avail of the discount in bus fares, I only paid P76.00 one way (Davao Metro Shuttle).

First Stop: Miko's Brew. Miko's Brew is a coffee shop which also offers free wifi internet access. Too bad I didn't bring my laptop during my trip. They also have a sumptuous menu which are affordably and reasonably priced. I was alone in my trip so I just ordered Fish Fillet (P55.00) and Blackforest Frapuccino (P75.00) for lunch.

Second Stop: City Hall of Tagum. Courtesy call. Let me just pay a short visit to Tagum City.

Third Stop: New Christ the King Cathedral. Who hasn't heard about the biggest rosary in the world? If you're visiting Tagum, you shouldn't miss visiting this church. It's in a 2-hectare land donated by the heirs of Dr. and Mrs. Juan M. Gonzales. The cathedral took 12 years to construct through the joint efforts of its parishioners and donors.

My Canibad Experience

I've heard buzz from the blogging community about this secret paradise called Canibad. It is located in Barangay Aundanao in Island Garden City of Samal.

We got there by bus from Davao to Babak (P25.00 per head) and later on contracted a multicab (Kuya Sport was the name of our driver) that would take us from Babak to Canibad for P60.00 per head. The road trip was a bumpy ride, I suggest going there by boat.

There's no electricity. But the resort we got into has a generator which they generously turned on 'til 12 midnight. (Thanks to Manong Berong, the caretaker of the resort we stayed in, his contact number is 09269798057). Cottage rates range from P200.00 to P900.00, you may also set-up your tent with a fee of P50.00.

Canibad may seem to be an ordinary stretch of beach but it has a secret ready to be revealed to anyone who takes risk in unfolding its mystery....
