  • Monkeys in Makilala

    · By brian macy

    Visiting the town of Makilala in the province of Cotabato.  In Makilala monkeys are just part of the community and it was pretty cool to see them in the environment and chilling.  We also went to a waterpark which was far from fancy but it was cheap and the waterslide was fast.  Good times in a off the beaten path destination.

  • Cotabato an undiscovered gem in the Philippines

    · By brian macy

    The area of Cotobato in the Philippines has a history of civil unrest, terrorism, and abject poverty.  While visiting this area I did not see any civil unrest or terrorism but I did meet lots of cool people, see lots of cool places, and saw some amazing nature.  Due to this area's reputation the prices here are ridiculously low and you can do so many things while barely spending any money.  Great experience, great place, and great people!!!

  • Why you need a team while traveling in the Philippines

    · By brian macy

    I am usually a lone wolf (I don't have any friends) but while travelling in the Philippines it is important to have a team to help you enjoy your time, save money, and not get scammed.  I learned the hard way when I went to the beach alone and got harassed endlessly about buying alcohol but when I went back to the same beach with my team of fitness addicts it was a completely different vibe and we had a magnificent time.  Lone wolf does not work while you are in a foreign country!
