SUMAKAH in Antipolo City

       

            Living in Antipolo city was really fun. We stayed here for almost 10 years and I can say that Antipolo is one of the best cities in Luzon. When I was in high school at Sumulong Memorial High School, I joined the Drum and Lyre band and I played the instrument “table lyre”. At first, I didn’t know that I can experience this kind of celebration where many people are really participating well. As a member of the Drum and Lyre band in SMHS, we are one of the invited that time because we are the Champion for the competition of all Drum and Lyre band in Antipolo. It was really fun yet tiring because you need to parade along with the other participants in different competitions.

                Antipolo was known in Suman, Mangga, Kasoy, and Hamaka (Duyan). But the real best seller in Antipolo was the Suman. Suman is made up of malagkit rice, mixed with coconut milk, and carefully wrapped in pieces of banana leaves. It is really hard to make a Suman because you need hard work, love, and passion in doing it for that the customers will truly be satisfied of what they eat. Next product of Antipolo was Mangga. Many trees here in Antipolo are Mango tree. Many street vendors are selling these sweet-sour mangoes with alamang or spicy salt. Next was Kasoy. I am not really a fan of eating Kasoy but many people say that it was delicious. Kasoy was from the fruit “Cashew Apple” where the seed of this was actually the Kasoy or Cashew Nut. Last but not the least was the Hamaka. Actually, I didn’t know that Hamaka was Duyan and I don’t think that this was still one of their products because I don’t see some stores selling those Hamaka anymore. Maybe in the past this is also one of the best seller in Antipolo city.

Implication of the internet in the growth of Ecotourism

Internet is very important as the days passes by. Internet are indeed needed right now. Even at home, school, offices, markets, hotels, airlines, restaurants and many more. Internet really makes our life much easier with technology. By using our resources, we can help in the growth of ecotourism. Ecotourism are barely destroyed nowadays. Plants and animals are part of ecotourism and that is why they are also endangered. We should and could help to stop the destruction of ecotourism by using our gadgets to spread different pictures and videos that will open the eyes of everyone. We should help our environment for many reasons. We need plants to breath and it is also one of the main sources of our food that our body needed to have enough energy through the day and also helps us to protect our body from sickness. Ecotourism helps our economy and country to be great and it is also one source of the country’s income to improve a destination but government use it for personal use. Philippines is a very rich country in terms of resources. Protecting our ecotourism can also save human life. Climate change is one of the proofs that Earth is experiencing the lack of ecotourism. PROTECT ECOTOURISM IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR LIFE.

My dream vacation in the Philippines

       Every people have a dream to travel the world and have vacation to relax and refresh. When I graduated and have a good job, I will have a mother-daughter vacation in Palawan. My mother and I will experience the different famous activities, tourist destinations, foods, and hotel. I want to travel with my mother because she was the one who pursue to have my diploma. I chose Palawan because it’s one of the famous tourist destinations and that is my mother really needed to relax and refresh and that she could have a peaceful life even in just a short period of time.

       Palawan  is an island province of the Philippines that is located in the MIMAROPA region. It is the largest province in the country in terms of total area of jurisdiction. Its capital is Puerto Princesa City.

       First and second day, I want to go to El Nido because it is really a magical place. From its ageless towering marble cliffs to its white sandy beaches with crystal clear water, many refer to it as paradise. There are over 50 beaches to discover. You will also find enchanting lagoons with tranquil turquoise-green water, caves that can take you to hidden beaches, and a very diverse variety of wildlife. El Nido is a top destination for island hopping, book your boat, take some food, some drinks in a cool box and disappear into the heavenly marine reserve that is Bacuit Bay. It is a truly relaxing and inspiring place. Yet El Nido has so many different treasures to offer beyond the obvious. Further activities available include cliff climbing, waterfalls, kayaking, cave exploration, windsurfing, plus you can also hire a motorbike and discover the surrounding north of Palawan.

       On the third and fourth day, I want to go to Coron Island Palawan because it is a wedge-shaped limestone island, with few of its coastal areas being covered by mangrove forests. It has seven lakes, famous of which is the nationally-acclaimed cleanest lake in the Philippines, the Kayangan Lake. It also has a number of islands with white beaches and clear blue waters perfect for snorkeling, deepsea fishing and shipwreck diving.
